@DarkJoy Goat Milk Powder is one of my favorites..Such a smooth rinse & the added moisture/protein it gives is incredible...I like egg & yogurt powder too..

*Cant wait to hear your results.

Happy Hair Growing!

Ohh Lita! Never had egg and yogurt powder. I just use the regular. Is there a diff in the final feel of the hair?

Anyhoo--the goat's milk was a success! Very soft finish even before the DC! My puff is soooooooooooo soft and has a really great sheen. It's very moisturized. :yep:
 
After chasing down my postwoman, I finally got my teas today! I have catnip, burdock root, and nettle in my vitacost cart for my next purchase.
 
This weeks tea rinse:
Black, green, Chamomile, Marshmallow, Burdock, Rose Hips and Hibiscus. Steeping tomorrow night around 10.

I did a tea rinse this evening - black tea/nettle/horsetail/saw palmetto/roobios.

I also made a moisturising tea(as usual) for my DC mix - marshmallow root/burdock root/yucca root/slippery elm/irish elm/blue malva flowers.

Thanks for the info Lita! Appreciate it!

...sounds like you sending me on a hops treasure hunt in the near future! :lol: Never tried those before...:look:

I will look for those powders too! Wonder if I can avoid protein overload with the powders instead of the fresh (happens real easy). hmmmm. More treasure!
 
DarkJoy Hi! I don't do those treatments to often,so I never got protein overload..

*I like to do them spring/summer because I bring out my glycerin based products to use as leave-ins..Hair feels fantastic.

Happy Hair Growing!
 
Steeping a pot of:
Oatstraw
Horsetail
Saw Palmetto
Rosemary Leaf

I steamed with Coconut Creme under a cup of Coffee.

The Coconut Creme left a Milky-like residue in my Water Cup on my Steamer - so I won't be doing that again.:nono:
 
Really@ idaret'shair. ....I won't steam with it either then. I don't steam long enough to notice that but I'm sure milk would get in my steamer too:nono: I already have nightmares of something happening to my steamer:look:

How did your hair feel though?
 
Had to take my braided updo down because she braided too tight and lord knows I don't want my hair coming out. I'm going to DC tonight and do a black tea rinse. Next week I'm going to be rocking a custom short wig for feb to give my hair and scalp a break and easy access to it.

@Nix08

Me Too Girl.:lol: That's why I don't steam in Henna etc....I'm afraid it will (over time) mess up my "Precious":lol:

I had a Pink Clay Hair Masque (Butters N Bars) and I steamed it in, and the Water Cup had reddish-pink water in it.

That was my 1st & last time doing that.:ohwell:

Hair felt good afterwards, but I still strongly prefer the Milk as opposed to the Creme.:yep:
 
Realized that my coconut milk has all kinds of things in it...I'm still going to finish it up, since I'm in love but I will look for a cleaner brand.

I was lazy yesterday and only did the one rinse with coconut milk, coffee and tea and my hair felt pretty damn good:yep: so basically I then don't need that final leave in rinse. ..I'll tuck that away in the back of my mind for when I hit maintenance mode or feel a need to cut out a step... right now I'm still having lots of fun:yep:
 
Pre poo with Natty Moist

I became a mixologist and used bajandoc86 moisturising dc with:

Rhassoul
Amla
Brahmi and instead of WGO, used JBCO.
And for my tea, I used Marshmallow root, Burdock Root, Irish moss, Hibiscus and Dried Rose Petals. Then I heated this baby up under my Heat Therapy wrap for 1 hour.
And rinsed.
 
@Nix08 I wish I had a can to do a comparison

ETA: I looked it up. Roland's Brand = Coconut Milk, Water, Guar Gum (thickener)

Maybe you can switch brands

yesterday, i did a DC with coconut milk mix with my oils and other DCers. I let it sit on my hair for over an hour.

I then jumped in the shower and "steamed" my hair for about 30 minutes and added a black tea rinse.
 
I did a 2 part hendigo treatment today and now ending my hair day with a much needed deep conditioning treatment. I can't wait to finish - just 25 more minutes to go.
 
I have not wanted to bother with my hair for the past few months. Maybe it's the weather. I'm not too sure. All I've been doing is putting it in a high pony one week, mid pony the next, then back to high. I have been taking it down each Saturday, rinsing it out with water, spraying it with AVJ w/water, then applying my deep conditioner, spraying it with my tea mix, and then applying coconut oil. I cover my head with a plastic cap, tie on a scarf and head to the gym for my workout. I also hit the sauna while I'm there. I run any errands I need to run and at the end of the day I head home and sometimes I rinse it out, but honestly it has been Sunday morning before I do anything with it. I then add my leave-in, spray with tea mix, add some coconut oil and put on a hardy amount of Ecostyler. It stays like that all week. During the week, I add more leave-in on top of everything. I NOT take my hair down all week. I can only imagine how I am once I reach waist length. Lord help me!
 
Tonights rinse: Black, green, chamomile, marshmallow root, burdock and rose hips. This mix didn't feel as hard as the other mixtures. Really looking forward to rinsing this out. Gonna add nettle next week.
 
Alright y'all... I think I've found my treasure! Tonight I CW with SSI avocado, rinsed with my mix of coconut milk, coffee, and njoi's tea rinse, DC with Slippery Elm and final rinsed with more njoi's tea and avj... BEST SESSION EVER! Nix08 was right when she said you could feel the creaminess(?) Of the coconut milk right away. My hair is soooooo soft and fluffy! I couldn't stop touching it. Cornrowing will be lovely! Definitely will be doing this in every wash!

Also, I learned that my hair doesn't like tea steeped overnight. I can only do a few hours before I wash.
