Coffee,Tea,ACV,AVJ & Ayurvedic Challenge 2013

Brewed up some black tea, moringa, marshmallow, and horsetail and spritzed it on under my prepoo. Let it sit for a few hours.
 
Saturday I prepoo'd with Amla & Brahmi oil.

My brother has made some new hair products. He started with an organic shampoo and condish. Which has a few ayurvedic ingredients in it. He came down from Canada last weekend and brought me two bottles of each. OMG! It is very nice. To name a few ingredients it has horsetail, nettle, calendula, hemp seed oil, & and sage. I want to try it a few more times before I have a true verdict but I think my brother has a winner!!

I did a final rinse after dc'ing with chamomile, slippery elm, and marshmallow. That tea rinse was nice!!

My hair is so soft!!
 
I noticed the diff between a final tea rinse and doing it on dry hair as part of my prepoo/dc or on dry hair prior to adding moisturizer.

The final tea rinse makes my hair hard and tangled. Im going back to DC'ing on dry dirty hair with oil on scalp and shaft, warm tea on roots and shaft and dc on top with heat.

Sometimes I will poo after and then use a rinse out conditioner.

Last night I moisturized with moringa, lavender, fenugreek, glycerin and oil concoction. Then added a little Nubian Heritage Indian Hemp & Tamanu masque and herbal custard to each section. My hair enjoyed this pampering :)

Got the powders on as we speak :lick: too lazy for henna, plus I dont feel any buildup to justify clarifying. Also, found that its best to do the SM PM after the powders. It's great at removing grit and conditioning.

You are making me want to slap on some powders!

It is so relaxing! I always feel spoiled when I am doing hair treatments.

I can't see any mentions on my IPhone. PM me if it is a must see. Allons y
 
Girrrrrrlllll @HanaKuroi, you betta get your Ayurvedics on! Shoot...I STILL have mine on, knitting, and watching cooking shows, and glancing at LHCF, while nursing the beginnings of the flu! I think it's gonna heal me up faster. lol.

Go spoil yourself! Dontcha hear the shikakai calling you? :lachen:

Hannnnaaaaaaaaa (it's whispering)
 
They are yelling now!

Brahmi has a shrill voice! Cassia keeps bellowing.

You said knitting too? I am in!

Let me get to mixing!

I can't see any mentions on my IPhone. PM me if it is a must see. Allons y

It is really relaxing! The bhringraj and brahmi are the ones that convince me to leave it in overnight. Once I get my hair all covered and do a quick cleanup, lately I have been going straight to bed!

Hi Lita, a
u left coffee in your hair? then flat ironed it?
was it a special coffee leave in conditioner?

A lot of LHCF posters really like this coffee rinsing. I don't think I would like the smell in my hair. Its a really strong smell. I like the taste of coffee and the smell of it early in the morning but once I have a cup, I don't want to smell anymore until the next day, lol

I think the Heritage Hydration black coffee is some sort of product (moisturizer or conditioner or something).

I noticed that too when I would use the tea rinse after my deep conditioning. My hair felt very hard. So I started using it under my dc (sometimes with heat, sometimes without) and it makes my hair very soft.
 
Took the henna I made some time ago from my last treatment out the freezer to thaw out in the refrigerator. I plan to do a treatment on Friday night.
 
-Drenched hair in my tea concotion last night while cowashing
-Been using AV Gel on my edges & nape --- think I like it
-Apply Jar of Joe on the regular

Funny Jar of Joe story -- I am always on dh about needing to use product to keep his hair moisturized. He has a military style hair cut but he tends to let his scalp get dry because hair is the least of his worry. He will normally come in my bathroom and use a product or two. The other morning I caught him using my Jar of Joe and I stopped dead in my tracks. :spinning: I had to say to myself, don't overreact because my first reaction was to protect Joe. :perplexed I kept calm and politely said, hey hun, that's not moisturizer. He was like, I'm almost done (with my hair) now. I just walked off as I was about to snatch Joe from him. :nono: SN: I noticed Joe was getting low but thought I was blazing through it. I see that I've had some help. I bet you one thing, Joe is nicely put up and tucked away and I will be giving dh some moisturizer to keep in his bathroom. :lachen:
