Thank You!

I bought some henna as well yesterday and a two oils I didn't plan to buy :lol: while I was at the Indian store.

I plan to protective style a lot and use Ayurvedic treatments in between styles. I want to thicken and make my fine hair stronger.

I've been watching Nix08 tea rinses :lick: and tried to figure out a way to incorporate them into my regimen. I plan to do tea rinses as a final rinse every wash day. I will use my ayurvedic oils as a prepoo and probably add them to my dc's. I also plan to do henna treatments once a month. Once I learn what moisturizing mixtures work with my hair, I probably will make a tea spritz to moisturize my hair while in protective styles instead of using braiding spray.

Last night I was so excited to start. I took out my flat twist I had in for the past month and detangled my hair well. I prepoo'd overnight with Amla and Brahmi oil overnight. I'm going shampoo my hair and do a henna treatment this afternoon I'm using Godrej Nupur. Then I will DC overnight with AOHSR. I will do a final tea rinse tomorrow don't know what I will mix together just yet. Probably will use one or two ingredients just to see how each one works with my hair.
 
naturalagain2 I can't wait to read about your tea experiences:yep: Which are you starting with?

IDareT'sHair you wrote that you had 3 cans of coconut milk and somehow I got it in my head that I also had 3:drunk: I was searching high and low for my supposed 3rd can to no avail:nono: thankfully I had put the first can in an ice cube tray in the freezer so I wasn't completely out:grin: I'm going to totally stock up. I was in panic mode for a moment there:look:
 
Nix08 I think I will start with a final tea rinse with peppermint/catnip/AVJ tomorrow.

I do have a question. Would horsetail need to be used under a dc treatment so it can be rinsed out (I read it can be drying if used excessively; don't know if that's true or not)? Or can I use a small amount in a final rinse to leave in?
 
naturalagain2

I've never had an issue with Horsetail being included in my Blends. You said: "If used Excessively"

I'm sure you probably won't be using it in excess? I do use it in my blends as a leave-in from time to time (often) and never had an issue with it being drying.

If you try it, please come back and post your results.

Thanks, I think I may add it to my tea rinse later today :yep:.
 
Ok I did a tea rinse with horsetail/peppermint/marshmallow root. It made my hair feel even stronger (and I did a henna treatment yesterday) my hair started drawing up I knew I couldn't leave it in. My curls where nice and define too, pretty curls! Before then my curls were hanging very loose probably from the henna treatment. I left it in for about 2 mins and put conditioner on top and rinse it out. My hair feels so good.

I still have a lot left over so I'm going to try it under a DC this week to see how that feels. This is def. a rinse out mix. Maybe next time I'll add more marshmallow too it and see how it will feel because I didn't add much to this mix.

Nice Blend:grin:
 
Today I will do a coconut milk, coffee, tea midwash rinse, DC, then leave in tea/avj rinse. The first tea will be cinnamon, chamomile, horsetail, the second will be hibiscus, marsh root, and oolong...
 
Cinnamon.....I don't have cinnamon in my stash:look:

Using tea under my steamed dc now. While drinking a cup of tea.

Oh oh! I bought two cans of coconut milk with minimal ingredients. ..now. ... they cost me 3 bucks each and the other brand was on sale for less than a dollar. I think I'm going to research the ingredients on the cheap stuff to see how harmful they are if any. That kind of price difference hurts especially since it's no longer a treat and rather a daily mainstay
 
hi ladies....i'm not part of this challenge but i've been stalking this thread!!! :lol:

I decided to give tea a go today....i did a black tea final rinse and have a cap on right now....:look:

just curious....which teas are supposed to be good for growth?
I've heard nettle and catnip are...but which other ones.....
TIA
 
bunnie82 you could try rosemary, Burdock root and/or roobois... plus to me any that are listed as stimulating I consider good for growth. ..
 
I got pine tea on my head, lately I have been using things I can pick. The streets are lined with pines, so I made pine needle tea.
 
I am making my braid spritz now. Its a ton of stuff in there that I pulled out of my power stash..brahmi, amla, kapi tone, maka. I just need to pick up some aloe vera gel to add.
 
Hope it's not too late to join. I use my tea spray every other day... it's pretty simple. I've tried many but I use oolong and nettle leave steeped in rose water to spray under my deep conditioners and before my leave in conditioner.

I don't know if this counts as a rinse but to wash my hair I use equal parts steeped yucca root (a mild detergent) and neem leaf (antibacterial) with apple cider vinegar. I can't get with shampoos... my hair/scalp hates all of them no matter who makes them, and I've spent some money trying them all.
