Coffee,Tea,ACV,AVJ & Ayurvedic Challenge 2013

@Nix08

I just looked at that BFH Rinse:

Alfalfa
Horsetail
Oatstraw
Nettle
Rosehips
Aloe Vera Juice
Water (Purified)

Hmp. Sounds like stuff we got already!:lol:
 
IDareT'sHair I think I'm over trying to do it myself. I will try Claudies and Hairveda's but I will still make my tea/avj rinse because that's easy and won't dry my hair out! :yep: Thanks ladies! Y'all are awesome!

ETA: I read that rinsing the acv out neutralizes it so it becomes ineffective...

divachyk here ya go! hth
 
Made new braid spray and left out the rose petal. I think it was too drying and irritating my scalp. I had dry patches that itched like crazy. I will try it again in summer when the ambient air isnt so dang dry.

Back to my base herbs: oolong, nettle, burdock.
 
Put green tea under my DC... I didn't like it. I will prepoo with it and see how I feel about it. It felt more drying to me than black tea but when I clarify my hair she acts very finicky so next DC I will try again!
 
Last night I cowashed and drenched my hair with leftover tea blend of my oolong, red tea, slippery elm, marsh & burdock root along with a few others.
 
I am still waiting on the herbs I ordered from ebay and mountainroseherbs but when they arrive I will make a tea infusion using the following herbs: amla, brahmi, maka, feungreek, hibiscus, marshmallow root, burdock root, slippery elm bark, neem, and kapur kachri. Since the beginning of the year, I have being co washing my hair and following up with a moisturizer & sealing with oil(grapeseed & sunflower). The conditioner I am using/loving at the moment is the new V05 silky experience conditioner in shea cashmere.

HHG to everyone in the challenge.

Used my DC tea blend under my steamed DC. Coffee/tea (and oil) rinsed then a leave in tea/avj rinse.
 
Using a coffee, black tea, chamomile, lavender, burdock root, star anise, thyme, basil, marshmallow root, peppermint, green tea, and rosemary infusion to spritz on my hair and scalp daily. Also using it as a rinse during washes.
 
Sippin my rose petal tea before bed as usual. My scalp may not like it but my internals do.

Oolong, burdock and nettle spritzing these braids before bed too.
 
Massaged in some jar of joe... also bought some chamomile tea so will probably use that either tmrw or Saturday...

IDareT'sHair do I need a coffee maker to brew this coffee? Please give me a how to make coffee for dummies tutorial. I was told not to use coffee

Yep.:yep: It depends on what kind of Coffee you bought? If it's Grounds you will need a maker, filters etc...to brew your coffee.

Okay, I'm confused?:spinning:...:lol: This last sentence says: "I was told not to use Coffee?" Why were you told not to use it? Because of Caffiene?

And have you watch any Coffee Rinses on YT? They have some pretty good Coffee Rinse Tutorials out there.
 
DarkJoy I drink the rose petals too (along with Moringa). I've been brewing a 40oz pot and I have never felt better! It's so cool how a hair journey has transformed my habits:yep:
 
@IDareT'sHair: In the beginning I mentioned it was a bit drying for the hair. Well it was drying for my scalp too! No good for the eczema. I never have scalp issues outside of winter so will wait til spring. Drinking it's really helping the hair grow and I swear my roots feel thicker. And hopefully the 60(?) oranges worth of vitamin c each cup contains may help me avoid the flu! lol

@Nix08 You are so right! Who knew when we started LHCF we'd be drinking rose petal tea! and moringa! gotta get that...

It was supposed to say "instant coffee" (oooooooppppssss) I read that the additives could damage my hair. I was going to buy Maxwell house breakfast blend but its not the actual beans and its not instant. I'm going to youtube coffee rinses right now. I don't plan to use coffee until next week. So I will buy it then
