Coffee,Tea,ACV,AVJ & Ayurvedic Challenge 2013

Today I used henna for the first time since February. I'm pretty sure it's mixed with some other powders but I have no idea what. I made this batch and put it in the freezer. I still had some left over to freeze today. I'm going to go back to doing henna at least once per month
 
I made 6 cups of coffee yesterday expecting my sis in law to be here for breakfast. So, since she was on some serious CP time yesterday and didn't get here until around noon, this morning I had 4 cups left in the pot. I was surprised it was still warm (I have one of those insulated pots). I didn't feel comfortable drinking it this morning so I just poured it in a big bowl and thought maybe I will try a coffee rinse with my dc this week. Fingers crossed it goes well and I can rave about it with you all. Plus my few grey strands could use some coffee to warm them up.

I hope you don't mind me asking but how do you apply your tea or coffee under your DC. I have many hair teas but stopped using them because I would always make such a mess. I would love to use up my stash of teas but I am looking for a better approach or application so I don't make a mess. Can you explain how you apply your tea or coffee under your DC? Thanks!!
 
@Rozlewis I pour the Coffee over my head and slather the DC'er on top and then Steam.

I use a Tall Measuring Cup and just pour it over after I rinse out what I have in. Usually my light Protein or Reconstructor.

HTHs:yep:
 
Found time to do my cleansing reggi last night. Took some pics of the products for any who are interested in Ayurvedic washing.

So first, a tea of both fresh mint and Rosemary in distilled water. This is a first. Normally I just use the water.

Then mixed a large batch of powders. I mixed enough to last 4 cleanings. Will just scoop what's needed each time. Proportions are (in percentage): 50 Shikakai, 20 tulsi, 20 neem, 10 amla

Mixed with cooled tea to a thin yogurt consistency. Left on 30min

The under DC and tea rinse. There was leftover mint and Rosemary tea so just added oolong, red rooibos, nettle in the ball, and the chunks are fresh cut burdock. Added ceramide oils for the DC portion and plain straight tea for the rinse with a few drops of acv.

The DC was the vatika garlic growth mask.

She feels so good today y'all!

Tea

Rozlewis if I use my tea/Coffee under my dc I sometimes put it in a spray bottle and spritz my hair.

I have my nettle, hibiscus, rose hips, saw palmetto, horsetail and Brahmi mix all brewed up and poured into an old Wen 32oz bottle. Im too lazy to use it though :/ I still have Tresemme Naturals in my hair since Friday's wash!!

When I get up I'll add coconut milk, ACV, AVJ, warm the tea, do the Rinse, Catch & Re-pour method 4 times, massage scalp and add DC on top for a few hours.

Im not touching CCAT because I cannot apply any ACV or AVJ/G to this head. I also have condish with coconut milk. So I want to know, how do you like mixing tea and coffee? I preferred coffee and DC because my hair was SUPER soft, but when I did it with tea I was like :look: Coffee makes scalp itch, tea doesn't. Please help a sista out!

@Saludable84 I use a mix of tea/coffee and coconut milk together as a rinse under my conditioner when I'm cowashing (it would probably be just as yummy under a DC). What tea's are you using? I do not use black tea...I use pretty much all other teas but not black tea, it makes my hair feel hard.
The acv, I use as a final rinse, with a splash of acv to about 8-10 ounces of water...just enough to have the color change and have a hint of smell.
And to answer your question...if I don't have coffee or tea on hand I won't wash my hair:nono:

Rozlewis Hi! Lately I've been putting it in a spritz bottle and spritzing like that but most of the time I will pour it over my head while leaning over the sink that way I can keep repouring the run off; Let it drip dry then apply the DC...
 
Did a CAT
Coffee under Bel Nouvo's JBCO & Haitian DC'er *which by the way smells absolutely Delicious.
ACV Rinse with Nexxus Ensure
Tea With: Marshmallow Root

Steeping another Pot of Marshmallow Root

My hair loves black tea and it doesn't get hard at all.
My DC has coconut milk, but when you use it with tea, is you hair still receptive to the benefits of the DC? I am totally tempted to try it. Or do you only use during cowashing?
I cannot use ACV because I have low po hair and ill be crying for days!!!
I have a lot of tea (just bought a box) and coffee on hand so I usually never have a problem with that. We drink a lot of iced tea and Im a diva without my first cup of coffee :yep:

EnExit told me a cool mix, but I was curious to know if you have ever mixed tea and coffee. They both give me different effects so I wonder mixing with reverse each others results.

How much of each tea/herb are you using to how much water? I have heard that marshmallow root has so much slip but I did not have that e pertinence. Maybe I was not steeping enough... Let me know please.
 
used the catch-and-pour method with cleansing tea I had in fridge for week: shikakai, aritha,and amla. Made sure to scritch my scalp between each pouring session. Rinsed hair, then poured moisturizing tea of hibiscus and fenugreek over my head followed by hello hydration conditioner over it and sealed w mahabhringaraj oil. Slapped conditioning cap on and I'm now sitting here with a towel over my head. Will rinse in several hours :spinning:
 
Used some medium coffee, one bag of green tea and one bag of burdock in my French Press.
Now that was a recipe for perfection!

Please excuse my iPhone; it's trying to get it together
 
Might could squeeze indigo in this weekend...Hmmm....

Wow Nix08 you go hard! But so do I. A DC is not the same without tea!

I can only use herbs. No coffee, black or green teas as they make my hair hard too.like you, my Acv is small dilution too. About half a teaspoon to 16 oz water or tea. Does the trick..

Dag all this talk. Is it wash day yet?!
