6 Month Ayurveda Challenge

[MissMusic]

Depends on what you want. If you want color then I would just go with water and lemon juice depending on what colors you want, but if you want conditioning effects I would go with conditioner.[/quote



Actually the Henna doesn't need anything acidic to release the color, About halfway through that Do y'all Henna thread, ladies were realizing that the lemon juice, wine, acv, etc. were actually adding unnecessary dryness.

You're correct that the dye releases with just water, but the lemon juice produces a more vibrant color than just using water.

Still braiding my hair but I plan to do a spritz today.

 

[joib]

Hi Aggie, Do you leave your spritzer on the braids as a leave in or wash out after a few minutes?

 

[miss Congeniality]

I am going to massage my scalp with neem oil and deep condition my hair with a condition mix.

I got really good color on my second app, with the green tea and a smidge of lime juice.

Hey everyone if you are looking for another site to order products BostonMaria posted this in vendor thread and it has henna products too.

I ordered Amla, Aritha and Maka from Ayurnatural Beauty last week
http://ayurnaturalbeauty.ecrater.com/index.php
and I received my order in 2 days. The shipping was inexpensive and my package was delivered right away. The owner is African American and she ships internationally as well.

Has anyone order the Kalpi Tone, I was going to order but I notice the site says this ♦♦ PLEASE NOTE -- Orders that include Kalpi Tone will need an extra day lead time for delivery. ♦♦

Prepoo'd overnight with EVCO, this morning I applied my mixture of oils via applicator bottle, sat for a while. Then did a tea rinse with my powder mixture.

ETA: Used my shikakai bar before I did the tea rinse.

thanks so, so much for sharing this! Today, I plan on purchasing my oils and powders locally. If not, I will order them online and start the challenge.

 

[Ronnieaj]

Applied shikakai oil to my scalp and vatika oil to length of hair, and let that sit for 90 minutes. Followed with tea rinse of shikakai, amla and brahmi powders and let that sit for just over an hour. Cowashed and DC'd, used Jasmine's moisture renewal, QB AOHC, and Afroveda Curly Custard. Tied down and went to sleep. Wet hair this morning and applied Hairveda Whipped Gelly to hair, am at work, working diligently.....

Hi ladies,
I was able to purchase the neem and aritha powders locally but had to order the other powders(maka, brahmi, amla, and brahmi) online. They should be here next week. Although I do not have all of the powders I wanted to start this challenage with, would it be okay if I start the challenge once the powders arrive? If not, I will join you ladies in the next challenge.

[Shay72]

I will be making my three jars of tea again tomorrow. I need to remember to fill the jar up more this time around because there weren't 3 full servings in each. The last tea rinse for each was about 6 ozs vs 8.

I'm really liking this routine of tea rinsing 3x/wk. I'm still trying to figure out when I will do a cassia gloss.

 

[miss Congeniality]

Last night, I massaged my scalp with Shikakai oil and deep conditioned with giovanni.

 

[Ronnieaj]

I prepood last night with my Kimble Shea butter treatment. Rinsed and did tea rinse of shikakai, amla, brahmi (same as Wednesday), washed with CON/shikakai/amla mix. Did Emergencee treatment, followed with AO Rose Masqueta mixed with JBCO, brahmi amla oil, and garlic oil. Rinsed, detangled, did acv rinse, mixed Giovanni DLI with KBB Hair Milk throughout hair, followed with Sunsilk Citrus Hair oil, then mixed QB AOHC, OHHB, and Afroveda whipped gelly and spread through hair. Currently drying and allowing hair to form chunky afro for weekend.

Has anyone ever ordered Indigo or Henna from this Ebay seller?
Puddletown Alchemical Laboratory

They have great prices. I guess I could try it they have really good feedback. I just want to make sure there are no chemicals in it.
