Oh, man do I need to update! Let's see... I did another henna (exactly 6 weeks since my last) with Rainbow Henna in Black and I
the results! My hair looks so much better towards the ends of my hair
and I'm slowly searching and destroying every single knot and split end.
My hair has never looked better and I think it's in part to using Ayurveda and sticking with one hair care line - Hairveda! My ends used to feel so rough and parched! Since I've been using BJ's products, the moisture level in my hair has increased dramatically. I have been going through my hair everyday - yes,
everyday - snipping those pesky offenders out of my head for about 3 months.
Anyway, this past Wednesday night, I oiled my hair and scalp (and massaged and scritched) with Dabur Vatika oil. When I woke up, I then proceeded to rinse the oil from my hair during a 5 minute rinse. I put horsetail (1 tbsp), amla (2 tbsp), and shikakai (1 tbsp) in my old coffee maker so I could get a tea and a paste
This is how I've been doing it since I began using Ayurvedic powders. This amount yielded me enough paste to work with.
I took the coffee filter out with the powder perfectly blended together because of the steam, and of course hot water. I applied the paste to my scalp and hair, and left on for about 20 minutes. I rinsed then applied Moist Condition 24/7 as a deep conditioner under a hooded dryer for 40 minutes with a plastic cap. My hair came out buttery soft and detangled
To finish the rinse, I used my tea last and massaged my scalp for a few seconds, then blotted my hair with a towel. I added some of Hairveda's Whipped Cream by scrunching the product into my ends. I then sealed the moisture in with Vatika Frosting.
I pretty much do this every week (sometimes twice) now. Since beginning this routine, I finger detangle and leave the combs alone unless necessary.
