@YvetteWithJoy I may have missed it but do we refrigerate the tea or no. I added tea tree as a preservatives she said but I don’t remember her saying anything else
Ok thank you that’s what I’ll do for myself ! It’s a hassle running to the kitchen lolI don't recall her saying anything about refrigerating it, but I'm not sure.
I make mine, put some in a super tiny spray bottle, and refrigerate the rest until I use it. I don't refrigerate my tiny spray bottle.
Absolutely. I'm not doing anything because we got snow here in southern virginia and I do not drive or go out in this kind of weather.
We can list it and this way we will have it in the event they get deleted like 22ndCW did. She deleted her videos.....Once they figure out their sales quota aren't being met because the recipes are online, they'll dummy up and start deleting so I think it is best that we have them here. The gloss, the henna spray, shea mix, and growth oil.... all of it. I mean let's face it....not that many people are going to fork over a hunnit bucks for some products, especially when those powders at an indian grocer range from 2.99-3.99. Even the parachut coconut oil for a small bottle is like 8 bucks. GTFOH with payin a hunnit and then have to pay for international mailing....then when u get ur packet home, you only have enough for one maybe two washings.....damn dat....nahhhh...i'm good. Plus, we have been doing ayurvedic practices since before she discovered it and i mean waay back in the day....chile puleez....

CP's AYURVEDIC Strengthening Tea
1 Spray bottle
Measuring Spoons
Cheesecloth
Rubber-band
Henna Powder
Amla Powder
Brahmi Powder
Shikakai Powder
Lavender Essential Oil
Hot Water
Coffee Mug
Boil water and let it sit until it is hot, but not boiling hot. Add 1 tsp of each powder into a coffee mug. Add hot water (not boiling) and give it a good stir. Let the herbs marinate in the hot water as she does not specify for how long. It's just like making tea so marinate at your own discretion. Strain the herbs from the tea by way of using the cheesecloth to cover the mouth of the mug, add rubber-band to secure the cheesecloth and strain the tea. Pour strained tea mixture into another mug. Then she poured the tea mixture into her spray bottle. I never did see her use the lavender essential oil, so one can assume you add that into your tea mixture in the spray bottle.
Let me know if I've missed anything.
Go, @Honey Bee.
Here's a link to the site I am making for us. I need to streamline it some, but I figured we could use an easy-to-navigate site. Even if we type them all here, I lose posts in these long threads.
At this page, I give what I hope is a super concise presentation on the Hair Tea. Video, clear ingredients list, clear list of other items needed, super concise instructions.

Yay! That was all of them?! Dang, I be on it and don't even realize.Thanks, lady!
@Honey Bee already had every single recipe typed up. Eeeeeep! So we don't have to do them.
Thanks for checking!Okay, I rewatched it. She didn't mention refrigeration.
How I make my henna , shikakai and amla hair gloss - Ayruvedic
*Disclaimer* I noticed that she removed the items that she used in her descriptions. I know it was there before because I wrote them down. I actually copied and pasted it into a Word document. See, this is what I'm saying about how they will delete videos and certain content once they create a brand for themselves. I can't knock the hustle so...
Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
Olive Oil
Avocado Oil
Shikakai powder
Amla Powder
Henna Powder
Conditioner of your choice
Measuring Spoons
She suggests a tsp or tbspn of powders. Tablespoon of shikakai powder, teaspoon of amla and henna powders. Add water until you get a thick mud like paste. Add one to two tablespoons of each oil. Mix until the mixture is somewhat thin. Add your conditioner. This should make it somewhat thick again. Stir your mixture. Let it sit for 4 to 16 hours.
She does not indicate how long to leave the mixture in your hair. You could use your own discretion at this point. Let me know if I've missed anything.
Exactly, and that's why I took notes. I don't chase indie products around. She might fall out with bellebar's next month, and then I wouldn't have the product I had come to depend on. The whole purpose of ayurveda hair care (to me) is self-sufficiency.

I think @ThatJerseyGirl is on to something. Last week I was making oil and tea. I went to her channel for the recipes. Previously, she just included them on the more info area of the video. Well, I didn't find them. I had to google to get her recipe form other bloggers. I wrote down both recipes. I'll write down all of them. Soo, I will add the shea butter recipe to my regi.
I am grateful for the inspiration, but the more I watch these videos, the more I wonder:
Product name
Usage suggestions
Cautions (e.g., pregnancy warning, colors the hair, etc.)
Ingredient name, ingredient amount . . . until each ingredient is listed
Tools needed
Method
Handling advice
Why not include this clearly and succinctly?
Okay. Had to get that off of my chest.
Whipped Shea butter and Henna infused coconut oil mix for hair growth
Items Used
Essential organic Raw Coconut oil
Henna and shea butter -
Amla
Brahmi
Peppermint essential oil
Glass Jar
*Disclaimer* I copied and pasted the title and items used from the description in her youtube video. Also, she did not show case which powders she used, as she jumped right into making the mix.
In a large pan, with the flame on low (low as possible), add Amla, Brahmi and Henna powders to pan and stir using a wooden spoon. Add raw coconut oil and stir continuously. Once complete, pour mixture into bowl. She suggested straining herb before letting the oil mix solidify. She didn't do it in the video, but she suggested it.
After the mix has solidified, add your unrefined shea butter. She didn't specify how much. Mix with a hand held mixer. Mix until you get it your shea mix whipped. Pour mixture into container of your choice. I guess you could add your essential oils at this point. Unless I missed it, I did not see her include it.
For as long as we have it for now, I included the video for this recipe in the event I've missed something along the way. No shade to her, but I'm starting to notice some inconsistencies, but that's okay. We'll have it here and I'm sure the ladies on this board can pretty much figure things out and custom their mixes to fit their hair. More to come....
This is something I did a while back with a few of her videos that I know I will be using. I made notes and I keep them on my hard drive at home. She is definitely getting a little business savvy by editing her videos. You have to hand it to her.They were there because I copied and pasted them to a Word document and created my own copious notes tailored to the needs of my own hair. I also noticed that she made edits to a lot of her videos too. She is not a consistent person at all when it comes to her videos. Her descriptions and what she actually does in her videos are two different things, and if you read the comments, many people question what to do, how long to leave it on, etc. You just have to pay attention to the small details. I'll give it to her...she's dummying up by trying to clean up the videos, but too late now because other youtubers have created videos.
Take copious notes from the videos I posted because like smoke, I believe they will vanish soon. At least you have it written here.
