I cannot compare it to any one thing. I just enjoyed how smooth is, not strong at all. Maybe like green tea but much milder and not robust. I drink my teas without sweeteners because I really like the natural flavored and aroma...EXCEPT black teas, ugh.

:yep: I agree. It is a very different flavor - but nothing like straight up black teas. When you get used to it you will love it.

I have been drinking it for about maybe 6 months now and I do notice my skin is smoother and my nails grow like crazy. So many other internal benefits for silica so I assume it helps with hair also.
 
Holy crap. I almost forgot today is my 3 year post relaxer anniversary!!!

congrats!

for the ladies that use henna or hair color, where are you rinsing your hair at? sink, or shower? i want to color my hair at home, but don't want black dye running down my back in the shower. i also don't want to have to deal with tangles from rinsing in the sink.
 
The Bamboo tea has the highest amount of silica in a plant form (350mg per 6oz cup/1tea bag). It's suppose to help restore elasticity to skin, strengthen nails and promote increased growth in hair and nails. Has a smooth taste. I have replaced my daily cup of coffee with this tea, and it has no caffeine. Works well has a tea rinse. I'm hoping to see good results with my skin and hair.

I rinse henna in the shower with no problems. Rinses well, and I've never dyed my back :-)

I rinse my henna in the sink, and then do a tub soak.

My ends have been doing well since I did the trim, no more breakage for three days.

Shower! :) What about making 4-6 two strand twists to avoid tangling, rinsing most of the dye out in the sink and then switching to the shower once the water starts to run clear-ish?



I think I will flatiron soon - I've only used heat once all year and most of last year so I'm curious about the results. I have to give away my new GHDs though because they don't even have temperature control and I'm not undoing my progress after 3 passes!!!
 
Just checking in! Overnight prepoo with coconut and olive oil! If I don't feel lazy will henna tomorrow !
 
Had another great workout today. So much so that my head was drenched in sweat and I had to condish cleanse and cowash. Super yucky, but it's much better now. Not going to shampoo until this weekend unless we go hiking to the waterfalls again. If that's the case, Celies and a hat will be worn all weekend.
 
Cowash last night to get some moisture in my strands before getting my sew-in tomorrow. I cowashed with Aussie Moist man I forgot how good that condish was! It moisturized my hair so well!

Note so self: Do not stray away from bask products!! Those are the only products that help me airdry in soft shiny hair so well that's easy to manipulate when it dries. My roots lay down much better with these products and gives my hair such a soft look. Not to mention they smell heavenly!! I got to buy some more sevenfold butter blend before it goes out for the season.
 
Why does everything seems like such of a task to me ugh.
I realize my hair is breaking in the front from coloring so that's a wrap and never happening again. i haven't checked my length which is good i might have pulled a few strands but that's it still can hardly tell.

I think i will will be missing Junes length check too

I hate to do it but I use the sink.
 
I made a ponytail holder from a silky opaque trouser sock. It's working well so far. I'll see if I pull out any hair when I take it out.

The socks were $2.99 and I can probably make at least 20 hair ties.
 
All right im back in.
I was in this thread,then longest layers hit bsl so i moved to mbl.
As i trimmed back to apl here i am .

ACCEPT ME BACK s'il vous plait !!

Aiming for bsl again
:-)
 
So I had my baby on Monday and we are at home adjusting to life. I hope to get back to my BSL routine in a few weeks.
 
was trying to stick with this PS routine year long but danggit the spring and warmer months are coming and i've got the itch to wear my hair out....I need to just braid it back up! But i'm sooooo torn!!!:sad::sad::sad::sad:

I need some encouragement! i'm afraid that if i don't keep up with this PS regimen that i'll never reach my goals, this nice weather is so tempting smh
