Did my usually c-bam(cassia - brahmi/amla/maka)
and for 2nd time, I added a tablespoon of hydrolysed wheat protein
and for the first time I added 2 tablespoon of aloe juice.
seriously, this lil spoon of protein does wonders on my hair. it's only 10% of the paste, so it's like a light protein treat.
Now I will only do my ayur treatment every two weeks, for sure.

is it possible to get PURE Bhringraj and Brahmi oil w/no extra ingredients...
if not what brands of these oils are u ladies using?

I am soaking some amlas overnight tomorrow I will use the juice in my brahmi paste.
they are always infused in other oils - the leaves of the plants are used, not an oil made from the plant itself
i use a bhringraj oil with sesame oil and bhringraj as the only ingredients. a local indian store makes it
before i was using the one they have on ayurnatural beauty. its fragranced and smells pretty awful
I've been oiling my scalp with bhringraj a few days a week for about 4 or 5 months and I've gone from armpit to now nearing waist length during that time

Has anyone mixed mustard oil or amla oil in their growth aides w/MN, MT, sulfur, peppermint and tea tree oil? I need to mix up another batch this weekend and I thought about using my amla oil or buying some mustard oil to mix with in in addition to or in place of my JBCO and EVCO

how did your hair turn? about color ? it seems that you mixed everything together so you didn't do a 2 step treatment(henna mix, then indigo)
so if you can tell me what color does this henna/brahmi/amla/indigo/hibiscus leave on your hair ? also, how long did you leave it on hair.?
Brahmi and Maka powders.

my hair was buttery soft! I forgot about adding bringaraj
. The colour was a very subtle espresso with slight red hints. The colour is much more visible in the sun and on my ends. my mix was (approximately):25g henna
100 g indigo
50 grams hibiscus
25 grams amla, brahmi
1 can of coconut milk
I'm way too lazy to do the two step treatment, so it's easier to just do one step and get as close to black as possible. I DC'd with damage remedy treatment + joico moisture recovery balm + joico kpak instensive moisture + affirm sustenance + avocado oil (unrefined) overnight.
BUTTERY HAIR!

Kurlee I never thought about using coconut milk in my henna mix, I usually use coconut oil though. I'm going to have to try that. I may even try that with my Ayurvedic cowashes too.
I did a Brahmi cowash with Suave Humectant the other day and my hair felt so strong, yet soft. I can't believe I stopped doing these!

i think the combo of the coconut milk with the hibiscus made my hair super soft, yet strong. very little grit. LOVED IT!@Kurlee I never thought about using coconut milk in my henna mix, I usually use coconut oil though. I'm going to have to try that. I may even try that with my Ayurvedic cowashes too.
Rinsing was a breeze.

I continue here because this is the main thread about Ayurveda.
there is no restrictions when you want to do a mix, just one thing, you can sleep overnight with some herbs and you can not with some others.
In my own opinion, and from former experiiences, I don't recommend staying more than 20minutes with shikaki and aretha(aritha) on head. also, I don't think the need to mix them together(i've heard aritha is more powerful than shikakai)

I have to try a little coconut milk in my henna mix next time. I was afraid of it being heavy on the protein, but I don't have to use much.
I've been doing henna (with a little amla) treatments every other week for the past month and my hair is much stronger and I experience less breakage. I don't know how long I want to keep this up, but my hair has improved over the past several weeks.

on a wim I purchased Bhringraj oil and amla oil... I have noooo clue what to do with it. I've read about prepooing , however I don't prepoo because I go straight from the gym to the shower for washing/cowashing soooooo ummm yea Let me roll back 32 pages and get's ta reading before this stuff arrives. Any ladies use ayurvedic oils and go to the gym as well? and are serious head sweaters..lol I usually do thoro research and look at reviews before purchasing stuff i've never tried. Iono what's gotten into me lately...i'm thinking of mixing the 2 oils with some jbco to do scalp massages with.

Has anyone who's used bhringraj oil experienced breakout? I'm wondering if it's the sesame seed oil base or the bhringraj itself, but I definitely broke out. Any suggestions? Maybe I have to "weaken" it and dilute with olive/grapeseed oil?
MaraWithLove,
I have only used homemade bhringraj infused oils. My first blend was 2 tablespoons powder in 16 oz of sesame/almond oil and I love it. I use my bhringraj oil for oil rinses and to oil scalp, edges and ends. I used bhringraj powder from Banyan Botanicals and food grade quality oils (Idrahayam gingelly for sesame oil and Tourangelle almond oil). I did not have any breakouts. HTH

Thank you Choctaw! I realized it wasn't the actual oil itself, just that it was just before 'that time' so I broke out + my skin is sensitive and I've been oiling like crazy. Add humidity to that and well haha guess it seeped into my skin. Thanks for your comments!

I hit the Ayurvedic jackpot yesterday!!! Check out my new products:
The box on the end is Neem. I also got a Neem shampoo for scalp health. I think I'll try adding coconut milk to my mix next time; I've been using hot six oil & coconut oil. I luv luv luv the natural sheen & dark color of my hair; that totally uncharacteristic of me b/c I used to think my dark hair washed me out!!!
