Have you ever used cayenne pepper oil? Remember that last thread I started about the tea, cayenne, biotin etc. I think I may mix that up next..I'm gonna finish off this bottle I have first. :yep:

Bump........ Hey ladies! How is everyone? I'm taking advantage of my summer growth spurt by using my Brahmi oil and MTG nightly.
 
Still doing weekly oil rinses with amla or shikakai oil followed by a tea rinse then a cowash. I also have been doing weekly pastes which have made my hair extremely defined.
 
Did a rhassoul clay paste which only consisted of the clay, water, and Gleau oil. Let it sit on my hair for 2 hours then steamed it.
 
Still using my Brahmi,now added Emu oil to it & a cap full of JBCO......


Happy Hair Growing!
 
Did an amla and tulsi paste today. I'm not real impressed with the amla I have (gulzar herbal brand). Going to look for something fresher and stronger

I've been making a conditioning paste with hibiscus, fenugreek, marshmallow, and burdock root. So much slip and so shiny it's just as good as any commercial conditioner

Oiling my scalp with bhringraj and definitely seeing very fast growth. I hate the color and smell of this oil though. I'm going to make my own. The last batch I made accidentally got water in it and now its all moldy :nono:

I'm definitely noticing a difference in my hair now that i'm using all these herbs. It's just thicker and stronger and all the products I used to love really do nothing for me anymore. I think I will eventually try an all natural regimen
 
I tiptoe quietly into the thread, for the first time in forever, and say :hiya:!! It's been forever it seems.

I've been continuing to incorporate ayurvedic mixes into my routine, though I lost my doggone shikakai/amla/brahmi mix late last year and still can't find the darned thing :nono:.

So right now I'm using a HOT mix of mustard, rice bran, carrot, castor and coconut oils prior to my Wednesday wash.

I also use a oil mix in my Saturday wash that contains bhringaraj, brahmi amla,vatika, wheat germ, macadamia and avocado oil in it.

I do a final acv rinse after every wash with water infused with hibiscus, fenugreek and maka powder, then add nettle, horsetail, burdock root, and marshmallow to it.

I think I'm going to start adding pastes to my routine again :yep:. Saturday I'm going to do a kalpi tone paste mixed with coconut milk, cocasta shikakai oil, and molasses. I think I'll alternate every other weekend that with an amla based paste. What do you guys think??
 
I'm still using my Brahmi oil on my scalp & I rotate with other oils including Coffee mix, Herbal Hair Oil mix & Heavenly Hair oil mix...Great results with each...

I am doing an overnight hot with amla oil, in the morning I will rinse, tea rinse (amla,hibiscus, brahmi,bhringraj), then cowash.
 
Did an amla & brahmi paste yesterday. used up the last of my hesh brahmi and now going to try the other kind (gotu kola)

Tonight doing an overnight henna (nupur 9 herbs). Mixed in
amla
hibiscus
horsetail
nettle
bhringraj oil
mustard oil
black cumin seed oil

the oils smell real bad I hope i'll be able to stand it for a few hours
 
Just finished applying my kalpi tone paste to my hair. Have a two-hour timer going, then will rinse, cowash, and DC. I wet and oiled my hair last night with vatika, gracious that oil makes my hair shiny :grin:.

I mixed the kalpi tone with a half can of coconut milk and about a tablespoon or so of molasses and HV cocasta shikakai. I'm going to have to re-up on a lot of products soon.
 
Used my avurvedic poo bar. along with some Bhringjai and Shikakai oil


I need to look into some thing to help thicken my hair.

quasimodi, good for you!!!! got any details?

just to check in:

i just did an amla rinse, though i've got a really nice paste sitting in the fridge. i've only got 3 weeks till perm day and am trying to stay away from anything that causes me to have to manipulate the 3 textures i'm currently dealing with.

after the amla rinse, i'll cowash and oil rinse with maka, brahmi and amla infused oils.:lick:
 
HAHAHAHAHAHA!! I thought I was out of kalpi tone, but I found 2 more boxes :grin:! I found a box of shikakai--who knew, I just bought some--another box of amla, more brahmi. I am in happy go lucky tea rinse and KT paste HEAVEN :yep: :lol:.

By the way, I LOVED the kalpi tone paste I made Saturday. It rinsed out really well with a cowash, and my SO was amazed at how the paste loosened my curl pattern! I wasn't expecting that, and I love my natural curls so that's not my purpose, but we both found it very cool.

I'm so happy to be back on my ayurvedic regime :grin:.
 
Soaked dry amlas in water overnight and squeezed them out into that water to create a very strong juice. Mixed my shikakai powder in and made a paste. Left it on for only like 5 minutes
Hair is strong, shiny and conditioned!

I'm also making oil with the dried amlas. Warmed it in the crockpot for about 24 hours going to leave the amlas soaking in there at least another day or so. Or maybe I won't take them out at all?
 
So I did my tea rinse last night. I had some leftover coconut milk that I didn't want to go bad, so I added that to my mix. Full regimen was:

Spritz hair with aloe vera mix, apply mustard/coconut/rice bran oil mix. Sat under steamer for 20 minutes.
Rinsed hair, applied tea rinse, let sit for 1 hour.
Rinsed, used Honey Hemp as co-wash, used Giovanni SAS to detangle.

My hair was stupidly light and fluffy, but with definition. I went to my SO, and he noticed immediately. I've never used this combo before, but I liked it.

Pre poo with Ayurvedic & Coffee oil mix,Amla Neem cream sulfate free poo,Mixed Brahmi powder,Hibiscus,Egg powder & BF 15min,Dc,BF leave-in,Heavenly Ayurvedic Hair oil on scalp,JBCO on edges & Sealed with Sesame seed oil...


My hair is nice fluffy & strong....I have 10 braids/In 2 big twist..I got a lot of complements....


Happy Hair Growing!
 
Yesterday I did a HOT then oil rinse with amla. Followed up with a tea rinse and cowash. Today I will be doing an amla paste.
 
I mixed an ayurvedic paste with a box of amla powder, 3 tablespoons maka, 3 tablespoons brahmi, 4 tablespoons hemp seed oil, 1 cup filtered water yesterday. I will apply paste tonight.
