Will do an overnight with Njoi Ayurvedic oil.

I think I will do some coffee under my DC in the morning.

I so rarely remember to do a tea rinse. I refuse to go downstairs and bowl water, so I have just been putting a green tea bag in hot tap water :look: But at least I did a tea rinse before I put in my DC tonight. Maybe I will do better this month :ohwell:

Just try to do better.:grin: Or make some up & stick it in the Fridge and pull it out on wash day.

I know it's an extra step to the Regimen, but the results are great.:grin:

I think if I ever see results from it I would be sold and go through the effort. I just have never experienced any difference so far from tea rinses which is probably why I do them half a$$.
 
@faithVA I think the effects are cumulative.

I have seen reduced shedding, increased shine, help with DHT and my Hair is thriving.

But I think the effects are cumulative and not necessarily instaneous.
 
@faithVA

Yeah, I mentioned in 2012, it was the best step/addition I incorporated into my overall Regimen.:yep:

I was skeptical too at first.:yep:

It works.:yep:

I guess it's about finding the right Combo's etc... And having the desire to add yet another step & staying consistent with it.

I know you did. I sort of remember that. I was struggling with so much of my regimen though I tried it a few times and dropped it. The black tea didn't work for me it made my hair feel wiry. So now I am trying green tea. Eventually I will play around with some blends but for now I just need to get into the habit.
 
I'm brewing a tea blend for my co-wash tomorrow. The blend consists of sage, burdock root, fennel, black pearl, and a blend of peppermint, nettle, and oat straw.
 
Spritz Spritz Spritz the weave. :lol:

Also, I noticed way better retention when I was washing 75%of the time with ayurvedics. Shampoo just washes my ends down the sink. It HATES any kind of soap.

Getting impatient to take out this install and scrub her with some Shikakai and tulsi.

I used Pomade Shop Coffee Pomade last night on my scalp.

Used KomazaCare Aloe My Hair spray to moisturize this morning.
 
Did an oil/tea/coffee/coconut milk powder rinse tonight. ...

Coffee that has not been refrigerated is more moisturizing than when I use it from the fridge.
 
faithVA, my hair loves a mixture of: marshmallow root, burdock root, slippery elm, moringa, bamboo, green and rooibos. Assuming we both have low porosity, your hair may like one of those teas mentioned. I suggest trying one at a time vs. mixing them all together like I do. I tried each, one by one, to learn what I like / didn't like. After I figured out what I like, I started steeping a variety. My hair loves it. Marshmallow root is awesome and would be a great one to start out with if you've not tried it already. I use tea for the softening / moisturizing effect vs. shedding. Black coffee and tea was a no-no for my hair and made it feel horrible. I steep a 1/2 gallon and keep it in the fridge until I use it up. I don't use a preservative and it seems to last just fine. I drench my hair in tea after I cleanse but before DCing. HTH!

Thanks divachyk. I had the same experience with the black tea and coffee. Some herbal teas seem to work better. I have purchased some of the herbs you speak of. Now why I don't use what I have is another question :nono: I'm not sure why I find it so difficult to put something in some water and put it on my head :lol:

But since we are talking about it, I will go do it now for my wash later.
 
Brewed :
Nettle leaf
Moringa
Earl grey
Catnip
Will be used for a final rinse after henna gloss treatment and daily spirtz for the week.
 
Correction: the coconut milk powder is just as good as the milk (it was the refrigerated coffee that made me think that it wasn't effective).

Did a mid wash rinse with coffee/tea/coconut milk and oil. And a final leave in rinse with acv...it's been a while since I used acv but I think I'm going to be back on it:yep: I've fallen in love with a styling wand:love: And at least for the summer I'm going to use it as I wish:look: I'll PS in the fall:ohwell:
 
I brewed Fenugreek/Chamomile/Marshmallow Root/Slippery Elm and mix Vatika Oil and AVJ right before putting it on my hair. I put MD Coconut Creme Condish on top and DC'd w/ heat for 15 mins.
 
Still tea rinsing. Trying to use up this IPN that my hair doesnt really care for. My absolute mix is Njoi herbal rinse with extra hibiscus amd marshmallow root. Claudies is still on my list to try but I love that Njoi mix sooo much, I dont care to try anything else... haven't used coconut milk in a min. Saving it for my henna mixes but still doing the HV ACV as a final rinse.
 
Just wanted to stop by and say I tried my first tea rinse yesterday. It was amazing, my hair felt fortified. Time will tell if it reduces my shedding, either way definitely keeping it in my regimen :)
