So @WaistLengthDreams, did you strain your fenugreek before adding your conditioning mask? Or did you add the entire mix on your hair? If the latter, did you have any problems washing out the fenugreek powder completely from your hair?Y'all reminded me of that aloe vera gel and oil moisture pre-poo, so that's how my wash day started. I also deep conditioned with fenugreek and amla powder. I slowing incorporated the boiling water and fenugreek powder making that goopy mix before adding the amla powder and more water. Then I let it marinate for a few hours and added conditioner. I really like this combo. My curls are defined and my hair has nice sheen too.

Wow! Your hair is really pretty. I love it. I have some actual fenugreek powder in my stash that I can use instead of crushing the seeds I have. I'm so glad I asked this question. I need to try this to see if it will work for me as well as it did for you.No, I don't strain it. Now that you mention it, I did use to get those tiny little balls of fenugreek left in my hair. But since I've started using the fenugreek seeds that come already powdered (as opposed to crushing them or soaking the seeds then blending them), I don't get that anymore. I also use about 2 measuring teaspoons of the powder. But it rinses out as easy as a conditioner with no powders added. Here's my hair now.
Sprayed and massaged my Fenugreek Tea Rinse on scalp and hair. The peppermint, Rosemary and Tea Tree oil in it have my scalp all wonderfully tingly. I am storing it in the fridge especially because of the AVG in it. It looks like enough for at least 2 weeks.
Here's is the recipe I used with a tiny change of adding about 2 ounces of my Hops, Earl Grey, and Horsetail Shavegrass herbal tea rinse I had in the fridge:

Thanks love. I'm a little nervous about trying it, but I'll do it anyway and I'll probably do a protective style and hide my hair just in case it doesn't come out right.Thank you! And good luck with the powder.
@Lita•I’m back in the city at my own place & it’s extremely cold here so I had to bring out the big dogs..
For my next wash day, I'll be testing out a liquid leave in to see if I can get my roller sets to dry faster during the warm weather months.
Thinking of making a big batch of herbal tea rinse. (Horsetail, Stinging Nettle, Oatstraw, Rosehips, Burdock Root, Fenugreek Seeds & Rosemary)
Seperate it by 4 ounce batches. Add in some Panthenol and some Hydrolyzed Oats. A few drops of oil...argan, shea nut oil & maybe ricebran perhaps? We shall see!
Finished making my Ayurvedic Balancing Conditioner. Very rarely do I get conditioners right on the first try but this one is banging so i wont be adjusting any measurements/ingredients.
Powders used: Henna, Bhringraj, Fenugreek, Amla, Coconut Milk, Banana, Aloe Vera, Guava Fruit & Honey. (Mixed with herbal tea).
Other ingredients:
Murumuru Butter
BTMS 50
Argan oil
Kukui Oil
Tamanu Oil
Hydrolyzed Oats
Preserved with Potassium Sorbate
Fragranced with Bonfire Bliss fragrance oil.
It's marinating now in my hair and I will rinse in the morning. I made 12 ounces and I only used 3 for my entire head, so this conditioner should last around 3 more washes. The slip is insane...I'm assuming from the fenugreek.

@ElevatedEnergy That FO sounds right up my alley. What does it smell like?
Very nice. Is BTMS hard to mix in? Like can i just add in it to a mix randomly or do I actually have to follow a protocol?
Unfamiliar with that BBW scent but that sounds incredible. I haven't played around with FOs yet but I think I want to try a few for shea and a conditioner recipe I have in the works.It smells delicious! @water_n_oil If you are familiar with Bath & Body works "Marshmallow Fireside"....it smells similar to that. A toasted, sweet, smoky, woodsy, night air-ish type scent. This is the company description:
A fragrance reminiscent of gentle, dusky breezes and bonfires, with notes of dried, wind-blown leaves, heliotrope, charred woods of pine and cedar, amber, smoky sandalwood, and musk with a background containing hints of roasted marshmallows, brown sugar, coconut and soft vanilla. This is a fascinating, complex, unique and appealing scent.
It is definitely true to its description.
