AYURVEDIC POWDER ADVICE + Excerpt from: Cherie Ayurveda Vol: 1

[PassionFruit]

that coffee maker is a great idea... I planned on using my freebie SENSEO for this purpose... bout extra pods & all...

I THINK Im gonna BC and then start to do it then

I would wait about 5 days between them knowing me. In between that time I would be placing most of my concentration on getting my moisture level up some, then go for washing/rinsing with the powders, but everyone's hair is different and might need the entire week in between. See how your hair feels after the henna treatment and watch it for the days following and it will let you know when it would be okay to go ahead with the other powders, okay? Just make sure to keep up with your moisturizing deep conditioning and you should be fine.

Thanks Aggie!!! I have the henna in my hair right now. I will definitely wait and up my moisturizing game, before I use the powders. Thanks!!

 

[Aggie]

AGGIE! - you are so AWESOME.... You're so sweet - like a chocolate Bunny ..Thank you for your LIGHT on This BOARD!!!!!

OK - So with my Ayurvedic journey so far.... I have had EXCELLENT results.

I am in braids - and plan to be for a while. I had to redo a few - and when I took them out - My hair was Soft Supple and strong. I was a bit afraid of this method and was worried about the "no Poo" feeling - But So far- I have had Powder Success! I will be putting my powders in my old coffee maker for the nice no grit feeling..... I put the liquid in to a tint bottle to make sure my scalp gets its maximum benefits.....

Toodles!

THANKS SO MUCH SJ. I FEEL THE SAME WAY ABOUT YOU TOO. YOUR POSITIVE ENERGY IS EXPLOSIVE AND QUITE CONTAGIOUS I MIGHT ADD AND I ASK THE FATHER TO BLESS YOU EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY FOR YOUR KIND WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT. HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY MY SWEET SISTER.

It was my pleasure Ediese.

Now as far as what's on my hair right is an experimental mixture of a few powders, my fenugreek tea, and just a little bit of henna and some tresemme conditioner with B5. I am not using it today as a color paste but rather a conditioning paste. I only allowed it to sit in hte sun for one hour on my veranda and now it's on my hair for an hour only, then I'll wash it out. I'll see how this comes out.

update
I just finished my 1st rinse and my hair was soooo soft and sooo moist after the rinse even before I deep conditioned Im officially hooked and Im on the band wagon
I used brhami and brhingeraj

 

[priya19]

This is such a great forum...Thanks!!

 

[Lucky's Mom]

This continues to be a great great method.

I DC'd over night ( instaed of oiling) in my braids - and did the warm rinse, Amla & Shiakaikai wash - and then afterward used conditioner.

WOW. A few days ago - I used my shampoo - and used conditioner - and my scalp was dry - and my hair was frizzy - but not today.

Ayruvedvic methods will be staying with me forever.

I am getting cornrows next mothn, and this will be my method of choice!

I will be getting a weave done soon, can I still use this regime on weaved hair?

 

[Aggie]

Honestly, I wouldn't if I were you. It's too hard to wash out the powders between the weave tracks and even if you just use a tea rinse, I relly feel tht it would be very hard for you to properly DC and keep moisturized to the level it will need to be DC'ed using these powders, but this is just my opinion. Someone else may have some experience in doing this though and may chime in hopefully.

 

[pureebony]

Thanks for that!

I just use my powder mix [brahmi,shakakai, and bhringraj]. I prepooed w/ shakakai oil over night, then right before i washed I put some alma oil in my hair.When I first started I added too much distilled water to my mix, so i guess I did a rinse [wanted a paste]

. After I conditioned w/ ntm deep conditioner, i couldnt find my leave in so I just sealed it with shakakai oil. Even w/ my mistake my hair is so soft

, I also was wondering how often can I wash w/ the powders?

 

[Br*nzeb*mbsh~ll]

How often can you apply henna? Is it okay to apply every week? I like the results and would like to do more often....

TIA

 

[gn1g]

Don't know how I missed this one, coming back to read all 8 pages wish the book was still available anyone want to send it too me via e-mail?

You can brew the powders into a "tea" and simply used to "water" for between the tracks. Simply boil the water, steep for a bit as you would tea, and strain out the herbs. Voila!

Yeah, you can if you want. On some people, it acts similar to a protein and causes brittleness. Maybe cassia might be an option if you want to do it that often because henna will leave color every time it's applied.

Somehow I missed this one. You can wash w/ the powders as often as you like...just like you'd use a shampoo.

 

[DDTexlaxed]

When I get my stash, I will be doing this. Thank you for putting it in simple mode. I will be srcitching with coconut oil until I get my alma oil.

 

[LovinLocks]

Found it, ordered it. Thanks Ms. C.

 

[LovinLocks]

Hurricane, good for you. I am excited for your too. Can't wait 'til my stuff arrives.

 

[hurricane]

Did my first rinse today. Very excited. I used Candy C's technique. I ordered her products and book since this is very new to me. Thank you soooooo much Candy.

I pre-poo'd with amla, coconut, and castor oil. Did not want any dryness. Rinsed out, poured the tea over my hair and concentraed on my scalp and ends. Let it sit for about 2 minutes, rinsed for 10 minutes with suave conditioner, and deep condition. When I put my deep conditioner in I could still feel some granules ( deep conditioner ORS, amla oil, and coconut oil) Let it sit for 20 minutes. Then rinsed out very well to get the remaining granules out, squeezed out my ends and sealed with avo'coco moisturizing oil. Pinned hair back and air dried.
