I’ve really been wanting to try rice water rinses, but I didn’t want to add an extra step in my hair regimen. I already do tea rinses and love the results so I decided to boil my rice and use the hot rice water to step my tea! My goodness, this rinse is a keeper, my hair was so soft, strong, and manageable!!! I’m sold, will be doing this rinse every wash day!

Whoa! What do you use in your tea rinse??

:hiya:
You joining us this year?
Lol, I want to! I am in some of the other ayurveda, threads but I'm on a ship half of the year so it's hard to participate in all the mixture making festivities. :whyme:

Currently I have Brahmi, Amla, Shikakai, Henna, and Rhoussal clay all in my stash.

I like to use the cantu apple cider vinegar rinse on wash day for my braids to keep them from getting too fuzzy, but I used to use straight up ACV.
 
@DanceOnTheSkylines
Well we would certainly love to have you!:grouphug:

Love the CANTU ACV Root Rinse:up:
I just hate how fast it runs out! I would try to diy my own version, but I don't wanna mess around and jack up the ph balance and stuff. It would be cheaper, tho! Just a bottle of acv, some tea tree, and maybe a carrier or something. Then another EO to knock out that ACV scent. That's really the only reason I stopped using it. My hair never kept the smell, but I'd get complaints of the bathroom smelling like vinegar on wash day :lachen:

Pulled out my Ayurvedic Treatment Pack from the freezer. It was previously mixed with Rosemary Tea. Added a spoonful of my Ayurvedic Herbal oil then massaged a thin layer of the treatment into my scalp then hair. With the leftover; I added some conditioner and a dallop of my Whipped Shea Butter, then went back in for a second application all over. Wrapped in saran wrap and will sleep in it overnight.

Rinse, Rinse, Rinse in the morning followed by a shampoo and shower condition.
This really does sound awesome @ElevatedEnergy. Looks like you are getting in your strength, moisture, and shine all in one :yep:.
 
Did a cassia gloss and now I will be doing one every 2 weeks! I mixed cassia, amla, aloe vera powder, slippery elm, avj, and coconut milk with the amika obliphica nourishing mask. my normally super dry hair had curls popping. next time i think i'm gonna sub water for the aloe vera juice for more slip.

Yes the Ayurvedic Powder Pack I use is balancing. It has fruit/honey powders for moisture/shine (banana, Guava, Coconut milk) and Ayurvedic powders for conditioning/strength. I can't remember them all off the top of my head but I know henna is in it. LOL
I use rosemary tea because I love how it smells mixed with the powder pack plus it's awesome for the scalp.

I just fell in love with rosemary tea rinse myself. It really does make my tea rinses smell soooo good. I love it a lot :lick:.

Used Claudie's normalizing rinse. Didn't get a chance to make any tea this weekend but I think im gonna start making some ahead of time and freezing them so i have it when I need it.
 
This morning I poured a herbal rinse mix of marshmallow leaves, HOPS, and rosemary leaves over my hair before adding my DC. My hair is happy and soft.
 
I still have some of my last rinse but I currently have some HOPS, Shavegrass Horsetail, and Marshmallow leaves infusing on the stove for the next rinse I will be using on my hair. I need to use up my herbs before they demise on me.

Just so I'm clear, there was no fermentation involved?
