Ayurvedics - I came, I saw....

[SqrpioQutie]

.... I failed...

i think i gave it the good ole college try, but the ayurvedic way just doesn't seem to be for me... everytime i opened my containers with my shikakai powder and my amla powder, i'd have violent sneezing fits... everytime i did a shikakai tea rinse, my scalp became sore and i got these weird bumps... and, worst of all, after a while my hair was shedding more and was VERY dry....

now i'm not going to lay this completely on those products - i'm going to say that, as a whole, i'm not doing well with "natural" or organic products... i'm not really getting along well with giovanni either... lol

so this morning, i went back what used to work for me... a cowash with Hemp Hydrating conditioner, using MnT Extra Moisturizing Conditioner and some Lacio Lacio as a leave-in/moisturizer and i sealed it with amla oil (ok - so that was new, but i never had a problem with the amla oil.. )... the result - hair that fought shrinkage, showed defined curls, had 75% less frizzies and continous moisture throughout the day all on its own.

moral of the story - i learned my lesson... i'm still gonna henna though... lol

I'm feelin' you on the trying...

I did my first shikakai/neem poo a few days ago.

I combined them in a bottle w/H2O (sneezing/choking as well).

The mix was so grainy, I thought I would NEVER get the mess outta my hair.

I wound up having to use reg. poo to get the grains out (what I'm trying to get away from).

I condished w/ Hemp Hydrating, air-dried, little LacioLacio...

& WOW!!!

After curling w/my ceram/tourm iron, I HAD BLING!!!

The bling has lasted these past 4 days!

In spite of the grainies, I think it's a keeper.

Funny how stuff works differently on folx!

Oh, & my itchies, flakies, & ringywormy-like scalp is GONE!!
