Hey yeah I'm kinda feeling you on this, I LOOOOVE doing the paste cause it feels like warm relaxer on my scalp, but the more NG I get it's getting harder to rinse, but alas!!! I'm sooooo excited, look at what I ordered from QVC to make my tea in!!!!, I can't wait to get it, it has great reviews!!!

Hey girls, just an update on the teapot. I love it!!! It worked like a charm. I massaged my scalp with my homemade oil mixture of coconut oil, Amla, Shikakai, & Neem. I left this on for about an hour while I boiled enough water to fill the pot, maybe a little less. Then I used the scoop that came with it to measure 2 scoopfuls of my premixed powder of Amla, Brahmi, & Bhringraj and put it in the strainer. I have to admit I thought it wouldn't work very well because a small amount of powder sifted through before I even added the water. However after my water heated to almost boiling, I poured it over the powders, I had to slow down a few times due to it straining a little slow, but nothing major. I filled the pot up , placed the lid on and let it brew till it cooled. I can definitely see how Amla can darken the hair cause this tea got darker as it sat. Anyway I proceeded to rinse the oil from my hair then lightly wring out excess water. I then removed the strainer from my tea & poured over my head making sure to soak the stands good. If the tea is still too warm for your liking you can add a bit of cold water, lol I just prefer not to dilute. I should add I also had to break the suction on the lid of the pot with butter knife, I think it was the steam. Anyhoo I once again
LIGHTLY wrung out excess and dabbed with an old towel, mainly because as I said before the tea is dark. I let this sit on for about 10 mins. while I cleaned up. I must say clean up was a breeze
. All I did was rinse the powder down my garbage disposal & wash the pot & strainer. After I rinsed the tea from my hair I dced as usual, with the same powders I used in the tea mixed in. This is sitting on my hair now. I will rinse in about an hour. You can also leave the tea on longer if you wish, but 10mins. was long enough for me to see results, my hair was soft & strong , almost like it had been coated even before I applied the dc. I will also say for anyone starting out it's
MUCH eaiser if you have your powders premixed.
I have mine in jars with labels, I have my oils I made in salad oil bottles I got from target. And for best results I always mix 1 part Amla to 2 parts Bhrami & 2 parts Bhringraj for condition & strength & growth. Or 1 part Shikakai or Aritha to 2 parts Neem & 2 parts Amla for cleansing.
THIS WORKS FOR ME, please tweak as you see necessary. I have been doing Ayurveda for about 2 months & I never had a problem with breakage, hard hair or shedding. HHG
Oh yeah here is a pic. of my premixed stuff.
