Babygrowth sorry just got your tag...I do use it with every wash and I still do a strand test regularly and I find myself in balance each time. I use it with tea and coffee too so I have a pretty good balance going on.

Lol Nix08. No worries! I will try a strand test then. I really want to use it every wash. Thanks hun!
 
I Found This Growth Recipe (Tea) On-Line:

Nettle
Burdock
Green
Oatstraw
Ginger Root
Dandelion
Rose Petals
Hibiscus
Horsetail

Not sure I'll make it, but wanted to Share It:yep:
 
Dampen hair with warm water,BF desert moisturizer,Heritage Jar Of Joe & Rice bran to seal..

Happy Hair Growing!
 
Brewing oolong, nettle, burdock and marshmallow root to make a braid spray for my kinky twists. I am really gonna care for my hair while in these twists. I had a terrible setback last year when I went on a complete hair vacation while in micros. That experience is what led me to find LHCF. I learned my lessons though...never again will I get micros, I must moisturize and seal daily while in extensions and take the braids down myself with conditioner and wash my braids at least every 2 weeks, saturating my scalp with water in between washes and cowashes. Still trying to decide what I will seal with. Maybe olive oil, not sure because I need the oil to be nice to my hair, not make it dry and lock/knot up. When not in extensions, coconut oil is my favorite, argon being my second favorite for softness, but since coconut oil solidifies, I'm concerned it may make the dreaded buildup at my roots and argon oil is so strong smelling and expensive. IDK. Maybe I am over thinking it. Anyone have any suggestions?
 
Brewed some nettle leaf tea, used after hair and scalp cleansing before dc treatment. Will use remaining for a final rinse with acv after dc.
 
I rinsed with Nettle for the first time. Ughhh I thought I gave it enough time to cool down so I had to add distilled water to it to cool it down. Applied my dc on top and I'm now sitting under the hood dryer.
Hoping this cuts down the shedding.
 
I'm doing my first successful stretch to 16-18 weeks and coconut milk had been the main thing that has helped this stretch BUT stretching makes me hair lazy I find. I can't wait to relax and get into my brews again:yep:
 
Uhg I havnt done a tea rinse in forever. Promising myself I will do a good long yummy tea rinse soon as these twists come out.

Girl......:nono: You already know:lol:

Well, here's the thing, I don't think that Young Lady is part of this Challenge, yet, she Tagged a bunch of people about some Give Away (or whatever it was) and by reading several posts, she has Hi-Jacked several other threads and did the same thing.

So, that was the point of my post.

If you are having a Contest or Give Away etc...Start a Thread about it and don't disrupt a Challenge that's in progress with a "Random"

:lachen: Dun know!!!
Totally get what you're saying :yep:
 
Although I've been MIA for almost a year, I appreciate you adding me to this challenge! IDareT'sHair :grin:

As for my stash, I need to use what I already have. With that said:

Teas:

Horsetail
German Chamomile
Sage
Red Rose Petals
Hibiscus
Marshmallow Root
Nettle
Linden Flowers
Lavender
Peppermint
Rosemary

Ayurveda:

Amla powder/oil
Arititha
Brahmi oil
Shikakai powder and oil
Neem
Maki
Henna

ACV:
I will attempt to use ACV rinses at least once a month to get rid of build up

Coffee:
Ive never tried coffee rinses. I need to do a little more research before I incorporate this one.
 
So I'm going to rework my brews because I don't need a final rinse/leave in brew when I use coconut milk.
 
I realized the reason why my homemade mixes weren't working for me once I got the right type of teas was I wasn't using enough water... this mix I used like 6 tea bags with maybe 24 oz water and my hair loves it! Before I would stuff 6 tea bags in 8oz of water :nono: not for me!

Also I bought a nozzle applicator to apply my coconut milk to make sure I get my newgrowth real good! Idk why I didn't think of it before. Coconut milk prepoo mixes are just to messy.

So now I tea rinse on dry hair, coconut milk mid wash rinse, and final rinse with acv or final spritz with avj...

Anyone use rosewater in their reggi?

I just bought some and trying to vary my regimen a little bit (getting bored too). I'm not dropping teas-never!-just experimenting.

So far so good, though it causes a little itch on my scalp, however, it's also been 5 days since I washed, so IDK. My hair feels nice and soft, tho...
 
iAds a mix on Thursday morning and put in my spray bottle. How long so you think it will last without being refrigerated?
 
I have half a day of housework ahead so it's the perfect day for the following routine:

Henna. Wish I had some hibiscus to make it darker, but whatever. I love how my hair loves it.

After henna, it's tea time w/oolong, burdock and nettle and ceramide oils (sunflower and grapeseed) under DC. If she is feel stiff-ish the DC will be AO blue camomile. If she still feels too soft, I will use Aphogee 2min.

After DCing, I will follow-up with an ACV rinse.
 
Checking in with my ACV rinse concoction in my head as I type. Today I went through my cabinets and found:

Sweet Almond Oil
Avocado Oil
Walnut Oil

So I got to thinking and came up with a recipe for a nice hair oil. So I mixed:

Olive Oil
Castor Oil
Almond Oil
Avocado Oil
Vitamin E Oil
Jojoba Oil
Lemon Essential Oil

I will use this lovely concoction for my hair and body. Can't wait to try it!

The other thing I did was mix up a nice whipped shea butter concoction, which consisted of:

Shea Butter
Olive Oil
Castor Oil
Jojoba Oil
Vitamin E
Bergamot EO
Sweet Orange EO
Lemon EO
Grapefruit EO

It's so fluffy and light! I can't wait to use it!:lick:
 
Tonight I tea and coconut milk rinsed and am DCing with MD coffee and kokum DC'er. Will also do a final hairveda acv rinse...
 
Friday night I spritzed some Shi Naturals Tea under my DC.
Followed everything up with a final rinse of Hairveda pH rinse.
 
Brewed some
Nettle leaf tea, sage, catnip, kelp granules.....added some lavender e.o , to be used for weekly spirtz.
 
Will use Columbian Coffee under my DC'er

Doing an ACV Rinse after Steaming

Finishing up with a Refreshing Peppermint Tea Rinse with my Leave-In

May use BFH Espresso Hair Creme after it dries
