Coffee,Tea,ACV,AVJ & Ayurvedic Challenge 2013

I washed my twists with it last night and I have been walkin around smellin like salt and vinegar chips all day hahaha. I think I like the results of it though, my NG feels super soft under the braids which is really surprising. Gonna try it again when I take my twists out and see how it feels.

So.....For those of you who use ACV how do you get the smell of vinegar out of your hair?
 
Today I will do a coffee/tea/ spritz/rinse under my DC... and a final tea/avj rinse. I am sitting with this "coconut creme relaxer" in my hair right now (has coconut milk in it).
 
@hnntrr

To what size container?

The Mix I have says 1Tablespoon per every 8oz of water.

My others are already Pre-Mixed. Nonie posted her ACV Ratios someplace early on in this thread.

Short Answer: Your Hair should Never smell like ACV afterwards.
 
OHhh maybe it was too much. It was a 5 cup container so it was 3 cups water 2 cups ACV hahaha oh dear. At least it rinsed the itchy off this hair. I guess the mixture I found was too strong. I hope that doesnt cause too many ill effects :d

Hey ladies! How long were you coffee rinsing before you started seeing the benefits? I'm starting to feel like I'm doing too much to my hair and this is one of the last steps I added but I don't see or feel any real difference in my hair than when I just tea rinsed. And even that is getting on my nerves because I'm not getting the reduced shedding that I got when I first started rinsing! I guess its time to tweak my reggie...
 
@Babygrowth If I don't see an immediate benefit I don't do it. Coffee made my hair feel softer on the first use. Even with tea rinsing I find that I shed in cycles...but regardless I never shed as much as I use to.
However I will say that my final blend of tea and avj hasn't been giving me the final finish that I'm use to so yesterday's wash, I re-introduced a splash of ACV to the mix ad it did the trick. I'm almost 13 weeks post so I'm not sure if that has an impact in terms of product/sebum distribution.
 
This morning I put Nature's Blessings on my scalp (first five ingredients are Nettle, Rosemary, Sage, Peppermint, Thyme) it soothed my itchy scalp.

Oh ok. I thought I liked it at first but when I started prepooing with coconut milk instead of doing a combined rinse and changed my teas I didn't notice the same results. I thought my hair just adjusted to the tea/avj rinsing as well because I wasn't getting the same smooth shiny results! I didn't know my stretch could have impacted that as well! Thanks Nix08! I will stick with coconut milk and tea rinsing but using products with coffee in them!
 
Checking in.

Couldnt believe my good fortune today at the grocery store. Found FRESH nettle in the herb section.

So am infusing the fresh nettle with the fresh burdock root with oolong tea bag for both spritz bottles and a DC rinse I will use today. Got about a half gallon simmering right now. :lol:

Is anyone doing these rinses on a regular basis with a sewin ?


I was doing really l good about using tea rinses in place of shampoo up until getting an install. I would like to start back, but it just seems iffy.

Thann, I did not rinse with my crochet weave (I should have but was lazy :look:). Instead, I spritzed my tracks with teas daily as my moisturizer and sealed with whatever butter or oil. When I was really on it (never skipping a day), my hair came out softer and more moisturized than when it went in. needed to re-up the protein between installs cuz it was so soft. :blush:
 
Did my final rinse with Shi Naturals Tea Rinse for growth. Let it soak in for a few and rinsed. Excellent...

Used Claudies Kahve leave in, sealed with Kahve oil.
 
Since introducing coconut milk in my rinse - I don't 'need' to use AORM for my cowashes several weeks post now.
 
So i might try ACV again (with the right amounts) afterwards my NG felt so soft under these twists. If it helps I am thinking of alternating tea rinse and ACV once a week. Shedding has gone down tremendously and I started not to need it once a week. Once these braids come out I am going to test ACV and see how it goes. I heard its good for low-po hair anyway
 
I didn't wash today and the only reason is because I'm rationing my coconut milk since I have just enough for 3 uses....
 
I've not been posting here but I've been doing my yucca root/neem leaf/avc rinse and spraying in my nettle/oolong/rose water mix every other day like clockwork.

Also, nettle tea tastes good. It's really smooth... I added some Real Raw Honey to it (terrific stuff for hair and orally) and it was divine :)
 
Tonight I did a black tea and horsetail tea rinse. Last week I did my first ACV rinse and I loved it. Wash day shedding today appeared to be less compared to 4 weeks ago.
 
Brewed

Stinging nettle leaf tea
Moringa tea
Black tea
Jasmine tea
Will be used for final rinse after today's dc.

I know I haven't checked in here for a long minute, but truth be told, doing so much to my hair was causing it to suffer and so I will only be checking in when I do my henna treatments mixed with my other Ayurveda powders I still have on hand.

Unfortunately I didn't want to touch it at all and that was a problem as well. I am however, going back to once a week deep conditioning instead of once a month and I "may" add ayur-powders to them but not sure yet. Cowashing seem to work very well for my hair but I know that I cannot forgo the deep conditioning longer than a week anymore.

Plus I have been very very busy at work and still am. It's hard trying to make time to deal with my hair for longer than 5-10 minutes.
