Ayurveda DC?

[loveisnthehouse]

I am trying to incorporate Ayurveda and I have read the threds and a lot of people say they DC after doing the tea rinses, but I was wondering if anyone has made a DC recipe of only ayurveda products? Thanks in advance!

Bumping! I want to know too.

I DC before wash (so I guess it's more of a pre-poo?) with Amla-Skikakai oil. Basically I infuse amla and skikakai powder in 1/2 coconul oil, 1/2 olive oil, let is sit for a couple of days, strain then use.

So you use the oil infusions as a DC and then do you an Ayurveda rinse?

After the amla-skikakai oil, I wash with BS/Honey/Distilled water then follow with an ACV/distilled water/marshmallow root rinse.

Were you thinking of mixing powders into a conditioner for a DC? Sounds like a real good idea.

Bumping this thread because this sounds yummy and healthy. Maybe I'll explore the Ayurvedic route one day ...

I used amla and bhringeraj tea as pre poo scalp massage and gained fast growth in 3 months.
This is where I got most of my info from (I don't know if the she still is apart of the forum but the info is helpful) Plus she has written a book.

HTH

No matter what Ayurveda ingredients I use, bhringeraj is a most! It is super moisturizing! Ok ask me why did I stop?!?! I need to start again ASAP!

I'm interested in this bhringeraj. I'll have to look for it. Do they sell it in leaves? I want something very moisturizing!

I used to mix some of my Ayurvedic powders with Suave Humectant condish (cowash) or Silk Elements Moisturizing DC (to deep condition). My favorite powders are Brahmi and Maka (Bhringeraj). The only reason why I stopped is because I started transitioning with braids and tea rinses are too time-consuming for me (I'm a truck driver). I'm thinking about making my own Ayurvedic spritz to use while I'm in braids.

For those that are adding ayurvedic powders to your conditioners for a DC....do you have a hard time rinsing out all of the powder?

I can recall a time I added Maka (Bhrinraj) to a henna gloss (henna + conditioner) and I had tiny bits all throughout my hair after I rinsed erplexed

I wonder if it's easier to rinse out of relaxed hair than natural kinks

 

[loveisnthehouse]

I was really hoping to switch to all ayurveda because it's more natural and cheaper. It looks like I might not be able to do that, so maybe I will just add some of the powder into my conditioner or something. Maybe i can get away with using cheaper conditioners and the powders?

Sounds like a plan! It's what I do

Thanks for this info. I made a match of bhrimgeraj/amla/neem oil yesterday. Can't wait to use it.

I usually mix Brahmi & Bhringraj in a cheapie cond. like Suave or AM. If I want extra dcing I'll use ORS or Silicon Mix. The powders swell so much I make sure I only use a teaspoon of each. I put the powder in a bowl first, then add the cond. I add enough to make a creamy paste. I don't have a problem rinsing as long as I'm no more than 4 to 5 weeeks post. If I need a little extra slip or help with rinsing I'll do a second cowash with Suave. I really don't mix in the more drying herbs in like Shikakai, Amla, or Neem. I save those for separate tea rinses. The treatments leave my hair like butter.

That sounds good! I have Brahmi so I will try mixing that with a conditioner tonight.

Thanks for responding .. I'm thinking the powder + conditioner thing may be better for relaxed heads ... maybe I should stick to herbal teas instead

Any naturals want to chime in?? Is it difficult to rinse out these treatments when mixing your herbal powders into conditioner?

 

[sparklebh]

girl this is the best way to go. I do my shikakai, amla and all the others with conditioners. the rinsing part is a dream.

I am natural...I make my powders into teas. I don't like the twigs and what not left over in my hair. That just takes natural to whole new level!

when I mix powders into my DC, I dont have a hard time getting it out. It comes out easily.
