Been on the go this week, but I'm back at home for a few days and I am pampering my hair today.
Currently have a Rice Milk & Sea Kelp Strengthening Conditioner marinating in my hair.
Fermented Rice Water, Rice Milk, Green Tea, Black Tea, Sea Kelp, Fenugreek, Avocado, Bhringraj, Coconut Cream Concentrate, Melted Shea Butter, Creamed Honey & Shikakai.
Will rinse it out, then do a Herbal Hair Wash.
(Yucca Root, Lavender, Fenugreek & Burdock Root)
Marshmallow Rose Conditioning Milk as a leave in.

Thank you! I had one of our favs in mind when I was making it. (Hairveda's Methi Sativa, Step 1). I used up all my Hydrolyzed proteins, so I replaced it with Rice instead.
I have enough left for 2 more treatments, so I froze it in molds.
Will repeat every 6-8 weeks. Next time, I'll add some Banana Powder to it. I feel like that Herbal Hair wash has eliminated my need to deep condition every wash, so this will be considered my deep moisture/strengthening treatment in one.

You are absolutely right! A definite Fav!
I still have x2 Jars left, which I need to get to, before they go bad.

So happy I waltz into this thread. I was thinking of making a treatment with coconut cream, herbal oils, and avocados but this looks amazing. How do you warm up the batches that you froze and for how long?

Hey Sis @imaginary
I've purchased some here when I have other items to buy in bulk.
https://www.newdirectionsaromatics.com/products/fruit-extracts/banana-powder-fruit-extract.html
(That's the best price I've found, but there is a $100 spending minimum or you will have to pay an additional fee. I've ordered the 2.2 pound package but when I used it all up, I ordered from the next place below because I didnt need anything else from that particular company)

Once I use this up, I plan on trying this one

@ElevatedEnergy For the banana powder and other fruit powders, could I add them into a black soap mix or would you recommend them only for conditioners?
ElevatedEnergy

I've only used them in conditioners and they are so amazing that way. I was thinking of adding some to my Yucca Root Wash but it's so gentle already, that I kinda stopped adding stuff to it. LOL
Adding some to your Black Soap shampoo would probably make it a bit more gentle though. If you try it, let me know. I'm curious as to how it would perform.

Massage my scalp good with my infused oil (EVOO + EVCO + bhringraj + ~8 drops lavender EO) and a little on the ends last night. Was gonna wash but too lazy so I just went to bed. Omg. Best. Sleep. Everrrr lol also made my hair super shiny today. I’ve been getting so many compliments about how much my hair is growing I been tellin everyone get you some oils and Shea butter!!
Also on the hunt for a premade natural, protein deep treatment, preferably full of Ayurvedic goodness. In the past I used aphoghee 2 minute every couple weeks but as y’all know I’ve replacing everything with mostly natural products. And esp after rocking a big ass afro all weekend I know my hair needs a strengthening treatment to combat minimal breakage and some shedding. Thinking of trying out Alikay Naturals avocado cream....

I still haven't used the BRW in my hair. I'm too lazy of a natural for new things and never been the type to moisturize daily so idk. Also experiencing "DIY burnout" which always tends to happen here and there. Still love my green tea shampoo though.

Just a small tip...You can eliminate that by making bigger batches or preserving them. Preservatives have really made DIY so easy for me.

ETA: There was a time when I used to feel like I had to go to the hair isle everytime I went to the store. Now I waltz right past them joints like....ummm they aint got nothing for me. LOL

Do you prefer shopping online or something you can find on the ground?

Preference for on the ground since I need it today lol but I’m definitely open to ordering online if the shipping isn’t too high or I can get it on amazon. My HG moisture deep conditioner is Obia Naturals I just order whenever my container gets low.

What about Nature's Ego on Etsy? I have never personally ordered from her, but @IDareT'sHair posted some ingredients to some of her products and the ingredients looked absolutely delicious.
I took a look at her shop and it is chock full of Ayurvedic & Herbal goodness. Plus I just like her style. LOL

I checked out that Natures Ego Page and the first thing came to mind when I saw her profile pic is "this woman looks like a witch to me." So I checked out some of her favorite stores and I find her to be into some really creepy things. I'm glad I never got any of her stuff. She creeps me out. All the best to all of you with this one. Yikes!
