I hope you ladies don't mind if I unofficially join your challenge. I use a mix of brahmi, amla, and maka powders. I steep this mixture and apply as a tea rinse 2 Times a week. I also use amla, brahmi, maka oil mix with AVJ as needed at a minimum of 3 times a week.

This sounds quick and easy instead of making a paste. How much of each powder do you use to make the tea rinse? What are your usual results?
Do you do this rinse after cleansing, after dc'ing or in between?

Im doing a sukesh treatment tonight. I added some more brahmi, shikakai and bhringraj to make it stretch and mixed it with burdock tea. I feel like I have been using up too much of my dc's by adding them to the paste. And I dont like using too much powder either. This stuff is expensive!

...not sure what to do today! :lol: Was gonna cowash--maybe I'll do a tea/oil rinse after this time. That will be something new....
 
Do I need to dc like I do after henna if I do a cassia obovata treatment?

I can't see any mentions on my IPhone. PM me if it is a must see. Allons y
 
I think Im gonna try a black tea rinse tonight to stop the shedding. Now I have an excuse to try this DC concoction I mixed up. I had to do it cus Ive been using up all my DC's doing henna glosses.

I mixed 1/2 jar Shea Moisture masque, a few squirts Wen 613, tsp hydrolyzed silk powder, about 3 tbsp cassia powder, tsp honey, squirt of olive oil and jojoba oil and some lemon grass EO. It smells soo good!!

SM and 613 are not quite moisturizing enough on their own so Im gonna try this out. I cant wait!

Well, i didn't do the rinse or dc last night. Instead, i revisited this leave in from GF. My texturized hair was really puffy and a little tangled. I sprayed this in my scalp and massaged. My hair became smooth, moist and stretched not to mention the tingle from the caffeine.

I think this is what contributed to my retention during my last stretch. I don't think theres any harmful ingredients and it smells really good. The shedding stopped instantly, btw. I highly recommend this stuff!!

watching youtube I saw some ladies spray black tea on their scalp & hair. Then put a plastic bag on for 30 to 1 hr. then moisturizer.

I would pre-poo, then black tea w moisturizer on top... then heat cap
Now I wanna try tea on dry hair then apply moisturizer or prepoo.
Oh I was using only 4 tea bags. I going to double that now!!
 
IDareT'sHair, I think I am interested in joining this challenge.
Today I am doing a prepoo with Vatika Oil, Navratna Oil, and AOHSR. I will also do a final rinse with Hairveda's ACV Phinishing Rinse.

I find a nice little Indian store near near my house and they sell the large bottle of Vatika oil for $3.99. I paid $9.95 for this through Amazon.
 
Getting ready to brew something for next wash day and make a Pot of Coffee (for next wash day).

For my Tea, I may do: Nettle, Burdock Root and Saw Palmetto.
 
Rinsed with and DC'd on top of black tea and coffee today. Yesterday, I brewed mint-herb tea, chamomile, green tea, and black tea for my next rinse. I have hibiscus and goji berry tea, but havent used them in my hair yet. I'll be stocking up on more teas, Ayurvedic powders, and cut/sifted (c/s) herbs soon. Imma be brewing and infusing HARD this summer!!

That works...spraying black tea and/or coffee on dry hair before moisturizing. I started doing that last summer and I love it. I also rinse with it in the shower and spray it on as a leave-in on damp hair before sealing. :yep:
 
Did a HOT with Hairitage Green Tea Time and sprayed my hair down with rooibos tea before adding my dc. :drunk:
 
Spritz with Soultanicals wrappers spray,Heriatage Marshmellow to moisturize,heritage Black coffee on ends...Hand in hair syndrome & it smells good too..

Happy Hair Growing!
 
Tea rinsed with a concoction of teas including marshmallow, burdock, slippery elm, roobis, moringa and bamboo.
 
Did my first henna today using Nupur Mehendi. My grays came out a pretty copper color and my hair is so soft. I am in love with ayurvedic herbs. I also did a tea rinse under my deep conditioner and I used marshmallow root and fenugreek extracts in my oil mix.
 
Tomorrow is wash day!!!

1. overnight vatika oil prepoo
2. cowash with a cocoa butter based cleansing condish, and leave on for:
2a. clarifying shampoo
3. coco henna (maybe if I feel like it)
4. aphogee 2 min
