I have not done my hair. I just need to confess. To someone that will listen. My church was having all night prayer. ( A shut in). I was really excited all day and could not wait to get there. I got there at 6:45 and it was to end at 6 am. The had a assortment of speakers to minister first. It was okay and I got bored. I was ready to go. Some girl came in with waist length plus in a beautiful chocolate brown with tendrils. It was beautiful. I think it would take 7 years for my hair to grow that long. I have been in a growth or length retention famine. My interest in service peaked.:cry: In came a BSL. It was good. There was a MBL too. Praise God! I really need help. Thanks for listening. :nono:
 
I mixed a tea spray for my yarn braids and sprayed from scalp to ends. The yarn drank it all up pretty fast but my (ETA *scalp*) did too. My scalp was instantly calmed and soothed :love: Im gonna use this everyday!!

My recipe is nettle, basil and lavender tea brewed in 2 cups water. I let the tea bags sit for an hour then stirred in a tsp irish moss powder and a tsp of horsetail powder, tsp safflower oil, a cap of AVG and EOs. I put the pot back on simmer and stirred constantly to dissolve the powder.

Its true that irish moss acts as an emulsifier to blend the oil and water. When I touched the mixture, it had a nice slippery, smooth consistency that I knew would be just the right thing for my hair. Once I let it sit, the mucilage really started to form so I added more purified water to the tea and transferred to my spray bottle. I put the mucilage in the freezer for a later date.

Next time I will use only a 1/2 tsp of each powder and maybe 4-5 cups water. I also put the spray bottle in the fridge for tonights use. Overall, it was a success bc my scalp feels awesome; no itchies, no tightness, soft braids and no buildup. I LOVE this HHJ!!

Ooo yes! I think I will do that with the mucilage I have in the freezer when I take my braids out. That will be my first real DC. Im sure I will be ready to deal with my hair again by then.

Thanks!!

I LOVE this HHJ!!
 
I don't have any tea brewed for tonights wash.... I will quickly brew some coffee and coconut milk for tonights wash.
 
My coffee and coconut milk powder brew was a nice rinse:yep:

Brewing my tea blend now of everything but the kitchen sink.

So I measured the ng on a shed hair and there was 2" of coils...I'm 14 weeks post so that's a little over 1/2 inch per month. I'm attributing that increased growth to one or both of two things: 2 rounds of inversion (although clearly I didn't get an inch each time) and ayurvedics. Those were the additions this stretch.

ETA: Another shed hair doesn't have as much ng:spinning: :ohwell:

Did a henna treatment on dirty hair yesterday due to laziness....I won't do that again. I feel like I wasted a treatment. I rather shampoo then do henna treatment. Henna seems to take much better on my shampooed hair. I did a final rinse with Hibiscus/Marshmallow Root/and a little ACV.
 
Prepooed with my amla/fenugreek oil mix. That stuff is fabulous! :lick: Then did a regular old clarifying/chelating shampoo with AO Swimmers Shampoo. "HOT" of tea and oil with burdock, oolong, nettle with grapeseed, almond and olive oils. DC'd on top of that with Vatika brand Olive Oil mask (contains henna and almond too :lick:) for an 1.5 hrs. ACV rinse.

Gotta say, I got some volume here on my curl set. Dang...!!
 
Stepped my tea for tonight's co-wash day but too tied to use it. Will use it on Friday when I wash my hair.

Steeped: Rooibos, Fenugreek, Nettle, Peppermint, Fenugreek and Burdock Root
 
hey ladies :) trying to give my hair some love tonight! Sitting with a prepoo of TJs nourish condish, coconut oil and that stinky neem oil. I was going to use heat but will just do some housework for the next 60 min and use my own body heat with a plastic cap :)
Will just cowash and tea rinse with my normal tea mix, twist in eight and hope the neem smell will be gone.:look:
