2018 Curlyproverbz-inspired Regimen Challenge

[Daina]

Still working on getting my hair gloss the right consistency. The oil causes the conditioner and powder to clump. I added honey like I did last time but I think I have to add it in a certain order too. Should I be adding water?

I use Rose/Hibiscus, olive oil, Herbal Essences conditioner and a little bit of melted raw honey. Today I heated up the oil and honey together before adding it to the rose powder, which blended nicely. When I added the conditioner it kept separating.

Typically when I make my Cassia gloss I mix all the powders together first with distilled water or tea mix. I then add this to my bowl of room temp or slightly warm conditioner. I add oil and honey last and stir all together. I use a pretty thick conditioner with Wen 613 and typically don't have any separation issues.

has anyone tried mixing a henna with coconut milk?

I made the following last night and applied it this morning on freshly shampooed hair.

Nupur Henna
Fenugreek Powder
Amla Powder
Brahmi Powder
Maka Powder
Neem Powder
Castor Oil
One full can of coconut milk.

I mixed the ingredients together until it was smooth with a plastic fork. Then I placed the ingredients in a blender for a smoother consistency.

Let it sit overnight and applied. I applied it to my ends first heavily, then on my scalp and down my strands. I made sure to coat each strand!

Will rinse out around 3pm today and I'll report back. I applied it so thick that I may have to go down the street to the car wash and use one of those pressure washer rinses. Just walk right up in the bay, deposit some quarters and stand in the middle and rinse my hair and let it go down that huge drain. Hopefully, I won't go down the drain with it lololol.....

That mix sounds divine...I may try that but with Cassia.

Today at work I got a lot of compliments on not just my skin, lipstick, eyebrows …. BUT my hair as well and asking what I use. After getting off from work I took my hair out of the clip. It was nice and soft, feels and looks thick too!

Since the year's half over, I figured I'd do a quick update.

• I still use an ayurvedic spritz every day.
• I don't use the tea on my scalp as much but I could if I stop being lazy.
• I apply the oil at least once a week.
• Every other week I apply a treatment using a gloss bar or just a paste made with powders and aloe juice. It depends on how much product is already in my hair.

Given the heat and humidity I didn't see the point of blowing out my hair just for an update. I took pics of my hair after detangling but I didn't think they compared well to my December pics. I was able to find a picture from October where my hair is in a stretched, but still highly textured state(post-bun) for a better comparison.

 

[ThatJerseyGirl]

I just strained my coffee, fenugreek seed and burdock root oil to use after I run out of my CP fenugreek growth oil. I will add the essential oils just before using it.

How do you like using the coffee oil? Any results? I'm just learning about the benefits of coffee oil (strained roasted coffee in coconut oil) for hair growth.

I guess I am tardy to the coffee party lolol

Your hair is very thick!! Is there any reason why you use the oil only once a week? Have you tried coconut milk in your glosses? I love it! It can be found in the supermarket in the can milk section

I don't know because I couldn't handle the scent of the burdock root in it. I will have to make a pure coffee oil when I make it again. Sorry I couldn't report anything else hon.

Oiling my scalp on wash day keeps it from getting dry throughout the week but doesn't result in so much buildup that I have to use harsher cleansers.
I have used coconut milk in my glosses and you're right it does produce a great mix. I just don't use it right now bc my gloss bars already have lots of nourishing butters and oils. When I just use powders and aloe juice my hair is so coated in shea butter that I can apply a straight paste and be okay.

Oh ok. I was under the impression that it was a DIY'er coffee oil with just coffee grinds and coconut oil. Gotcha!

Good to know. Your hair is very thick and luscious! I just feel like I'm late to the party because that coconut milk mixed with the powders makes for an easier rinse. I'm addicted to it now lolol....

It was a diy oil but I added Burdock root to it and had no idea it was so strong and awful mixed with the coffee. When I do make it again, it will only be with coffee grounds, preferably organic coffee though.

This was me today! I used two blocks of my Lush Noir bar with additional indigo, rose powder and amla oil. The extra powders ended up making double the normal batch size. I think Indigo loses it's properties when frozen if I read correctly, so I ended up slapping all of it on my hair after I had already applied it in braids. I really didn't wanna throw it out . My garbage disposal is gonna get to work in a few hours!

I don't think I've ever seen hair exactly like yours. Is it 4c? It is so incredibly beautiful!

Trust me, I understand lololol...

We have a similar pressure hose outside. So my dumba** asked my husband if he could rinse my hair out in the yard. of course, behind the house and he looked at me like I was crazy lolololol.....

I didn't want to clog my drains lolol..I can't stop giggling. I thought the idea was genius. Then I had a visual and thought...well what if he did use that to help me rinse my hair. The pressure of the water hose may swoosh me across the yard slingin henna all ova the place....stuff like that would only happen to me tho lololol...

Thank you. I usually just say type 4 because I know my hair is definitely in that group. Here's my wet hair without product.

Why are you not renewing, if you don't mind me asking?

I just want to reduce my SM time. I'm a super vocal person, just naturally, and I always find myself posting and chiming in when I don't mean to. Lol.

 

[Leo24Rule]

I'm still doing my weekly DCs but with ayurvedic powders including henna. I'm just too lazy to do it separately. I use the tea spritz still 3x a week & the CP oil 1x a week. I don't like flat hair.

Anyway I noticed I'm barely having any hair shedding from daily grooming or co-washing. I think it's due to the henna & fenugreek.

I see, I don't blame you for that. I got rid of all of my social media years ago. LHCF is the only thing I came back to recently, and I do get sucked in... I think it's good to break away and focus on yourself, life, etc etc. You will surely be missed but good luck and make good use of the newly found time!!

 

[sunflora]

Doing a mask of black rose tea, hibiscus, henna and amla mixed with Megatek. Should be a good amout of protein but hopefully not too much. I made a HUGE mess and wondered why I'm even doing this (well, to be honest, because I'm bored and can't sleep).

I definitely prefer the Lush bars, so I'll look into making my own gloss bars like CurlyProverbz as they are the same concept. I find them a lot less messy since I can melt them thick to the point that they don't drip.

 

[naturalyogini]

Ok question: Now that I chemical color my hair. (Hendigo wasn't cutting it). Is it safe to put henna in my DIY CP oil? The color killed my edges and temple and that oil made my hair grow like crazy. Just concerned about henna and boxed color. Thanks

 

[Leo24Rule]

Although, I've prepped my DC with henna, fenugreek, and CP oil 3 days ago I'm feeling super lazy for I have yet to apply the mixture.

 

[Leo24Rule]

Had to throw away my henna DC mixture because it sat for too many days creating a dark crust on top of it. So I made another batch with cassia, aloe vera, and fenugreek mixed with DC.
Hair is thickening up. This ayurvedic regimen has been since April I believe.

 

[Kindheart]

I checked this out and cannot understand the prices ...why is it so pricey if it’s not even made yet ???

 

[sissimpson]

Has anyone every tried to use the herbs from teabags to infuse into oil???

 

[Leo24Rule]

I'm getting so many compliments on my curls and I'm loving just how fuller my hair is!

Hi Ladies for those who purchase Curly Proverbz products from Belle Bar should know they ended their collaboration and most of the products will be discontinued. Final day is 8/31 and currently only the glosses are available, the kit, the fenugreek oil and the hair tea.

Gee, what happened, do you know? Why did they end their collaboration?
