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
![Drunk :drunk: :drunk:](/smilies/drunk.gif)
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.
