2018 Coffee Tea Ayurv Henna Cassia Rice Clay Mud Avj Acv Onion

I will try to keep it simple with just ginger, garlic and onion and here is what I intend to use and do when I do mix it:

Ginger, Garlic And Onion For Hair Growth

What I Will Need:

  • 2 tbsp Grated Ginger
  • 1/2 Grated Onion
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • Conditioning plastic cap
Processing Time
25 - 30 minutes

Method

  1. Blend in a food processor and squeeze grated onion, garlic cloves and ginger in a cheesecloth and collect their juice.
  2. Use a cotton ball to dab the juice on scalp.
  3. Cover hair with a plastic cap
  4. Wait for 30 minutes and then rinse hair. I might do a light shampoo depending on the potency of the smell

How Often?

Two to three times a week for about 4 weeks depending on how much time I have and how effective this treatment is. If it isn't effective and too smelly, I'll abandon it with the quickness :lol:

Why This Works
Ginger acts as a natural conditioner, tackling dryness by restoring moisture to your hair. Ginger’s active ingredients, gingerol, helps relax blood vessels and thereby improves blood circulation. This allows for the improved nourishment of hair follicles, ensuring faster hair growth.

Ginger has potent antimicrobial and nourishing properties which tackle hair fall and stimulate hair re-growth.

Onion is a rich source of sulfur which helps in follicle regeneration. This mixture helps stimulate hair growth from the dormant follicles, making hair thicker while speeding up hair growth.

Garlic is another ingredient that is rich in sulfur. It also helps stimulate hair growth from dormant hair follicles.

I 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. :happydance:
@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.:look:)

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.

Thanks @snoop. This is a great help to have a variety of ways onion can be used for hair growth.
 
I had to let a few things go:
ACV...no matter how little I used caused irritation.
AVJ....cause too many tangles.

Still using:
Herbal teas mixed in my Ayurvedic treatments every season
Ayurvedic Herbal Oil
Fenugreek infused Shea butter
Ayurvedic Shampoo bar

My routine is stooooopid simple now, so that's all I'm using.
 
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.
 
Hey
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.
@Aggie
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.
 
I've added AVJ to my conditioner + water mix in my spray bottle. The jury is still out (I haven't kept up with my hair this week).

I made a HUGE batch of body lotion yesterday so I'm going to do kaolin clay wash this morning + facial then come out and moisturize from head to toe.

The reviews on Amazon in reference to the bolded were less than desirable. I checked already and I would hate to spend almost $20 on 2 oz of color that would fail miserably. I might as well stick with henna and indigo if that's the case. Sigh! The search continues.
 
I still have some tea rinse that I mixed last week. It's in the fridge but I will be using it tomorrow during my regimen. I need to decide what else I want to do as well. Let me give that some thought right now.
 
I used some coffee rinse in with my shampoo while I showered and used a combo rinse of horsetail, HOPS, rosemary and Marshmallow leaves under my protein DC mixed with Bekura Yam Nectar this morning.

Hair feels good and looks so shiny today. Presently have some Dudleys natural black semi permanent color on to see how it works. Then I'll rinse it out with Follicle Care Moisture rinse out conditioner.

I will finish off with Follicle Care CayenaWood Strengthening Leave-in.
 
Did a clay wash today. Mixed with Bentonite, Diatomaceous, charcoal, acv and water first then had to make extra witht he same things but less acv (ran out) and added peppermint eo. Oh I also added some (probably expired??) silk amino acid powder. Oh also forgot I did a scalp treatment with the silk elements pre-cleanse. My scalp feels much better.
