Better Late Than Ugly
Using an Ayurvedic mud mask for DC. Then some mehendi infused Egyptian castor oil.
@snoopI did an onion rinse today. I was pressed for time so I decided that I was going to water wash/water rinse instead of doing a whole routine. I had DH smell my hair before rinsing it out and he said that it didn't smell like onions, even though it'd been sitting on my hair for hours. Also when I hopped in the shower there was no residual onion smell.
@snoop
Outline how and what you used to boil your onion rinse please. Did you cut it up in pieces? How much onion and how much water did you use? Did you add anything else to the mix as you boiled it? Afterwards?
I used Green Beauty's recipe -- but I no longer use the cayenne:
1 medium onion which I cut into 8ths -- cut it in half along the fattest part then into 4ths
2 garlic cloves which I cut into halves
1 cup of water
I boil the water and after it boils add the onion and garlic. What I did this last time is once the stuff goes in I reduced the heat down to low so that it steeps. I figured that this would be like making tea on the stove? (Plus I didn't want to run the risk of boiling out all of the water -- again.)
If you are adding cayenne you can add it after it boils. I found it irritating to my scalp. Even at half a teaspoon. I think I'll try your ginger recipe next.
Hey @IDareT'sHair
@AggieHey
Did this ever work on your gray strands? I need something milder than a hair dye and less time-consuming to color my gray hairs.
Oiled my scalp and hair last night with a warm mix of shea and coconut oils and kalpi tone.
As part of today's wash day, I used a clay mix of rhassoul, c.bentonite, kaolin, rose petal powder, SAA, water and steeped hibiscus tea. Massaged onto my scalp and applied throughout my hair, and left on for 1hr.
I'd previously thought it was the addition of amla to the mix that left my hair feeling super soft a few weeks back, but I realise it's the addition of a little kaolin. Very nice.

Haven't tried this yet. But will soon.
I was in the Thread "For Colored Girls" and someone mentioned Surya Brasil Henna Creme for Maximum Coverage of Grey and I'm thinking about trying it?
You should look this up.
It was Rosemary Leaf & Green Tea(s)Took Tea out - but it's unlabeled.
It's either Guava Leaf or Saw Palmetto.
