Shooooooot...I'm wondering if she scored some of that lotus...i mean if it accidentally 'fell' into her bag and how it might make the hair feel :look:.

Uh, the tea fell out of the box..and I put it in an empty coffee cup. When I first read herbal infusion I began to slurp. I see people posting drool but when I see something hair delectable, I actually have the drool effect(TMI). The wild sweet orange has lemongrass, citrus herbs, licorice root, hibiscus, rose hips and orange essences. The calm has chamomile, rose petals, hibiscus, lemongrass, blackberry and sasparilla root, then the lotus has green tea and lotus flower. :lick: God help me:drunk:

That lotus one sounds yummy :lick:

OAN: This morning I used a Kupur katchri treatment. I mixed w/Wen 613, Shea Moisture Masque, bhringraj, hibiscus, slippery elm, AVG, brahmi oil, wheat germ oil and GSO.

All I had time for is rinsing, cowashing, M&S and a wet pony. Any tangles I had while wet are completely gone. My hair dried soft, moist and strong.
 
No Ayurvedics today. Doing a simple cowash (full ayurvedics wash on Monday), DCing with AO Blue Camomile and following that with a nettle, burdock, rooibos and oolong + ACV rinse before twisting to dust these ends.
 
I did a tea rinse with some Yerba Mate Green Tea or something :look: I pulled it out of the cabinet and was too lazy to go look for something else.

My mom had plenty of teas in the cabinet. I need to go through those and see if my hair likes any of them. I seriously doubt that I will have to buy tea for a year :lol:

I don't think I will be a steady tea rinser until I can cowash midweek.

This picture of your hair is so cute!!
 
^^Thank you ladies :grin:

Yeah, I just need to stay consistent until I find a tea my hair likes. I haven't been consistent enough yet. I did buy the roobis (sp) but I have yet to try it. I put that on after the DC? or when do I use that?
 
faithVA

I personally don't think there is any right or wrong way to Tea Rinse.

You just have to find out what your hair likes. In both Tea & Application.

Some use it under their DC'er. (I use Coffee under my DC'er) Some use it as a Spritz or as a Wash Out Final Rinse. Followed by a Leave-In.

I use mine as a Leave-In. I don't rinse it out.

I washed my hair yesterday. I applied my henna and left it on around 18 hours( got busy). I rinsed and applied the indigo and settled in for a restful spa day while allowing my indigo to penetrate. Ho hum. I guess I will look at the board before watching a DVD. Ho hum. Oh, I will look at the tea thread. Why?????????? Kapur Katchri? What is that? My that sounds good. Did I just do 15 pages of web page reviews. This thread is dangerous. It is like what we used to call a contact. It is like walking past an opium den. Riding on a magic carpet. I need an ayurvedic book. I have known for some time this stuff needs to be on the altar. I just keep going in deeper, deeper....:spinning:
 
18 hours?!? Dang!!!! That's gotta be a lhcf record. Bet your hair is gonna be blue black...

Today I made an experiment to go back to rinsing out the tea and just doing Mt butter seal and Spritz through the week. I used to do it under the DC, rinse, seal. Now I added this extra step of acv and tea to leave in but idk if my hair is agreeing. Little breakage but it's also time to trim.

I agree. You do get pulled in deeper & deeper. :lol: How long are you leaving your Indigo in? Since you left your Henna in 18 hours?

I probably know what Mt is but it is eluding me. I guess the Indigo has something to catch ahold of. I had a shower cap and a satin cap on top of the henna. It seemed to rinse out easily. I hope my hair did not eat the henna like it does deep conditioner.:grin: It was still moist. Was the above supposed to be moisturize and seal?
 
felic1 Speaking of going to the Indian Store.....I want some Rosewater.

DarkJoy How do you use your Rosewater? I saw someone was using Coconut Water as a Rinse and that got me curious about both Rose & Coconut Water.
 
I have tried both rose water and rose tea as leave-ins and rinse out. The water seemed to be very hydrating and smelled nice but I only tried it as a leave-in. THe tea dries my hair out if left in.

We know my fickle hair, though. the water started some breakage. Might work for you though. I dont think your hair is as sensitive as mine.@IDareT'sHair

otn-- I still use the water daily as a facial spritz right after a shower. O.M.G!! Amazing on the skin. Helps close the pores...love this stuff.

Hmm...I got all this rose tea. Might try it again to mix my powders. Maybe rinsing wont be so bad...?:look:

Have you ever thought about using Coconut Water as a Rinse? @Nix08

I may experiment with Coconut Water this Fall/Winter *just to try it out*

I like the Rose Petal Tea. I haven't been doing much Loose Teas Lately and I have a lot.

I've been using mostly bags. #lazy:yawn:

I put the Indigo in around 5pm. I usually go overnight to cover up my roots. They seem to grow quickly. Give me an opinion and recommendation. Thank you!:yep:
 
Nix08

I read up a lot on it last night and it sounds pretty good for a nice rinse.

NaturelleGrow also has a Coconut Water DC'er. I haven't tried it.

I also plan to buy some Coconut Water and try it out. It's fairly inexpensive too.

No Opinion or Recommendation. I just wanted to know how 'deep' your color ends up being.

I kept it on 6 or 7 hours. I should have slept in it but was a little apprehensive. My color is still pretty dark but the roots in the center, the color in the grays have not fully migrated. The grays seem to grow pretty fast. Since the henna does not wash out, I have to henna pretty often to keep the gray from showing. I am a little self conscious about the gray.:yep:

You are a lot more knowledgeable about henna so I asked about an opinion if you had one. Thanks!
