Coffee,Tea,ACV,AVJ & Ayurvedic Challenge 2013

Trying black, green, chamomile, marshmellow root and burdock next wash. (I used nettle and hibiscus last time). Gonna see how it does, then on my major wash day (Sunday) gonna mush em together and hope for the best.

The nettle and hibiscus really turned out nice though. Still having breakage/shedding but its not AS much (the breakage is turning into shedding now? the pieces aren't so small, they used to be like little 1/4 pieces, now they are like 1/2-2 inches...so I am hoping that means its shedding and less breaking).
 
I'm still tea rinsing twice a month. I found this idea from hairitage using marshmallow herb/teas.

It gets its name from where it grows, in salt marshes and the banks of rivers. Marshmallow root is herb has been used historically to treat sore throats.
Marshmallow root is packed with vitamins A,C, pectin, and glutinous matter. Sounds gross but that is the slimy slippy stuff. That Slimy slippy stuff is great for detangling natural hair and helps add a natural shine to your hair. Marshmallow root also helps soothe dry, itchy scalp.
I have added this splendid herb to my new detageling conditioner soft coconut marshmallows. https://www.etsy.com/listing/119384478/soft-coconut-marshmallows-8oz?ref=pr_shop

You can always go to your local heath food store and pick some up. and make your own detangling mixture by boiling the desired amount of the root in water. I would go 1 part root, 4 parts water. I get my Marshmallow root locally from Sevananda in Little 5 Points.
 
Tonight: Did my Columbian Coffee under Jessicurl WDT.

Also did an ACV and a Tea Rinse.

Right now I'm Steeping:

Oolong
Saw Palmetto

Nix08,

I saw your guest post on Nadege's blog on Tea rinse (I'm not relaxed but I googled Bamboo tea and was directed there), and saw that you got good resuts from using Hibiscus and Marshmallow tea. So I used that as a basis. A good measure of each herb (I never measure) and added an Oolong tea bag and a generous sprinkling of dried rose petals. The tea looked and smelled :lick: :lick: :lick:

But the results were amazing soft and detangled hair.
 
Black tea under my DC of AOHSR and AOGBP on the ends

ETA: DC under dryer for 30 mins and will rinse out in the am
 
Nix08

I pulled out my Coconut Creme and Opened it. :yep:

So, I guess on Tuesday, I'll add it underneath my DC'er. OR....... maybe Steam with it on Dirty, Dry Hair and then Cowash it out?

The can was 15 ounces so, I have enough to try it several ways and I have x3cans:look:
 
Did an AVJ rinse for the first time :lick:. It will be a permanent part of my routine whenever I co-wash or cleanse.
 
So I'm sitting with chamomile, oolong, cinnamon tea, and avj underneathe my DC right now. I think under my DC is the only way I can get my hair and tea/avj to agree. I definitely want to add coffee but idk. I may have to do coffee/tea/avj rinse under my DC next week. I'm going to use njois herbal rinse next Sunday.

Will do trigger in my scalp as usual later, will also use my as I am leave in (green tea extract)
 
-Used a tea blend for my prepoo under my dry DCner on yesterday. I steeped it a week ago so I totally forgot what I mixed in it.

-I drank some moringa this morning. I'm hoping for some internal goodness to happen with this acne I'm battling.

-If any of you know some good teas for acne, please let me know.

@tallowah I don't think it's a good idea to use acv daily but maybe @Nonie can provide better reasoning for or against.

Thanks @Nix08

I've been trying to get @Nonie in here too, about ACV?
Click to expand...

@Nix08, @IDareT'sHair (sorry I don't get mentions on my phone)

I don't think there's a problem using ACV daily because hair being in an acidic environment is a good thing. The only problem would be if you are not using a VERY DILUTE solution of ACV. Your solution should be so dilute that if someone didn't know it, they'd think the water had nothing in it. My twice a week ACV rinse solution is mixed in the ratio of 1 part ACV to 128 parts water. I'd be OK using this daily. I just don't think it's good for my hair to be wet all the time so I don't do it.

If I don't post my purchases in the what did you buy this month thread, I'm better able to think that I don't buy things for my hair on the regular:look:
