Coffee,Tea,ACV,AVJ & Ayurvedic Challenge 2013

IM back! Took out my braids and did a black henna mixed with leftover regular henna. It had Shikakai and amla. Nice deeeep color. Also made a Spritz of Burdock, oolong, nettle and lavender flowers
 
I've been slipping. I need to get my Ayurveda powders out of the freezer and start using them again. I've been faithful with my Oolong tea rinses however :)

My original question was: "To Rinse Out Or Not to Rinse Out" But someone bumped an old ACV Thread and I got my answer.:yep: Thanks Ms. Nonie.

Nix08 I'm Jelly. My Oatstraw still hasn't arrived.:ohwell:

IDareT'sHair, I'm sorry I missed that. But yes, you do want your hair to have an acidic pH--which is more normal to it--so it's OK not to rinse out. I never rinse out.
 
Just went into a protective style yesterday but after my DCs this past week I have been doing black tea rinses. I will be lurking around for some tea spritz recipes I can use on my cornrows and twists.

My 1st Epxeriment will be when I rinse out the Emergencee, to Slather on some Coconut Creme and Rinse.

Then I'll put the Coffee under my DC'er. Probably Jessicurl's WDT.
 
Ohhh so you plan to rinse with it. ...maybe I could rinse too tomorrow. .. I'm getting excited:grin: I don't know why I'm always looking for something new:nono:

Yep. Imma try it a variety of ways (since I have 3 Cans). Tomorrow I'll try it as a R/O before Steaming & after cowashing.

The Creme is alot thicker more condensed than the Milk.

Then, I'd like to try it as a PreRx on dry hair.

Then try it under my DC'er w/Steam.

And maybe use it as a final R/O before I do my ACV Rinse.

Yeah Girl....I got plans!:lol:
 
Spritz yucca spray on scalp,Yucca hair milk on length & jar of joe ends..

Happy Hair Growing!
 
I don't think I have updated yet but I did my beer rinse finally! I have to admit the smell takes some getting used to but the benefits are awesome. My hair swelled into a nice thick shiny puff. I loved it a lot so needless to say, it's still a keeper. I simply put in a little more conditioner with it and rinse with not very cold, but cool water. Smell was great again.
 
Jar of joe in my scalp this morning (my new growth melted! I love this stuff!) and trigger in my scalp tonight... will be doing this all week long.
 
Made my Coffee and getting ready to Steep my Tea for Friday.

I am suppose to get a T/U Satiurday, but the weather is suppose to be bad and I don't know if the person I was going to have come & do it will be able to make it because of foul weather.:nono:

The 2oz is for my bday. I debated the 4oz really hard but didn't have luck with coffee rinsing so I was a bit chicken to get the 4oz jar of joe. Babygrowth

Oh ok. I totally understand. I didn't try coffee rinsing yet but let me tell you this is a totally different experience! The 2oz will last you tho! And if you like it we have that discount so maybe you could pick up another 2oz later on!
 
Another excerpt --- (I haven't used this one)

Gentle Cleansing & Clarifying Treatments

Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse Residues and buildup from shampoos, conditioners, and even your tap water can take the gorgeous glow from your hair. The apple cider vinegar rinse is an age-old treatment that is perfect for those who wish to reduce their hair’s porosity and quickly boost its sheen and shine. Others may use apple cider vinegar to cleanse their hair in place of shampoo. Either way, apple cider vinegar rinsing can get you fast results!

This Treatment • Adds shine. • Gives hair a clean feel. • Reduces hair porosity. • Balances the pH of hair and scalp.

You’ll Need •
1/ 2 cup apple cider vinegar
1 to 2 cups water

Directions
Combine apple cider vinegar with water in a large cup to dilute it.

To use as a cleanser: Rinse hair thoroughly with warm water to start the cleansing process. Carefully pour the mixture over your hair while gently massaging the scalp and hair. Follow with a light moisturizing conditioner if desired to restore the hair’s elasticity.

To use as a finisher, sealer, and shine booster: Use cool/ cold water, and pour the mixture over the hair after rinsing out your conditioner. Lightly rinse the hair in cool water to remove any lingering vinegar odor. Dry and style your hair as normal.
 
Thanks @divachyk for the info on the coconut milk. I came in here to say how it's ABSOLUTELY going to be an ongoing part of my regimen:yep: I rinsed with it last night and my hair felt amazing...going forward though I'll use it when I use protein because it is that moisturizing! My hair felt good but almost too moisturized. I steamed with it last time and I find the rinse to be easier to do and just as effective so that will be my method of choice. OK so its coconut milk for 2013. (I don't like coconut oil in my hair so hopefully this is a good way to get some of that coconut goodness in:yep:).

ETA: It's also amazing on the new growth:yep:
