Nope. No Opinion. I just mix little Salt in w/My Indigo when I mix it. :yep:

I did one as well this past Tuesday. I only left it on a couple Hours. It's pretty dark.

I use more Indigo less Henna and I mixed them together after they both had set.

I may reapply my Indigo (only) next week for a couple hours.
 
Under dc:
Black and green tea

Final rinse/daily spritz:
avj
Oolong
Fenugreek
Moringa
Chamomile
Tulsi peppermint
Rooibos
Rosewater

Girl, had my Breakfast Blend and Burdock Root steeping my French Press all day. Tomorrow it's on like popcorn.

I'm thinking if I should try mixing in Indigo in my coffee rinse. Maybe my hair will accept it better.

Please excuse my iPhone; it's trying to get it together
 
I hope you like it. I was skeptical with coffee for a while but I wound up liking it.

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:

Lmbo!! Girl you crazy!
I love the kachri powder! It made my hair strong and it smells good too. I mixed up a pink australian clay for moisture yesterday. Im gonna do that today to get my moisture balance in check. Next time will prob mix the kachri with the clay and it will come out just the way I like it. I just wanted to see how it worked w/o adding too much moisture stuff for the first time. The clay never fails to moisturize nicely though. Both if them are def staples in my regi.

This is the YTer with the clay tut. She uses the clay conditioner from B-N-B but I just bought the clay powder and make my own mix.

I got the Kachri from here thanks to a fellow LHCF member

ohhhh mshoneyfly! You dont went and reminded me of my giant pink clay stash... hmm... will have to squeeze that back in my regi with the bentonite. My hair loooooooves clays!

you and felic1 have got me curious about this kachri powder. Is it like henna where you gotta leave it in for ages or what? Is it for strength? shedding? shine? I could look online, but hearing first hand experience is way better. TIA

Hey DarkJoy
Kachri is for strength and a nice smell, according to the link I posted up thread. Its ground up spiked ginger lilly. I only left it in for a few hours cuz I ran out of time. There's no color deposit so it doesn't have to stay in that long. Henna is really the only one that needs to stay in for hours.

Did you get a good price for your clay stash?? The only place Ive found it is B-N-B
 
I'll probably run in the Grocery tomorrow after work and will pick up: A piece of Ginger Root and some Coconut Water.

Will buy a small amount of each to see if I like it 1st.:look:

OT: @mshoneyfly @DarkJoy I really loved BnB's Pink Clay hair Mask.:lick:

Hair was Silky Soft each & every time with that Rx.

I thought it (and other Clays) might ruin my Steamer, so I stopped purchasing them.

I guess I could have just sat with it on wrapped in Saran Wrap.:perplexed

Currently sitting with my DC on top of Columbian Coffee, I hope this goes ok :yep:.

Columbian coffee.... That should be good!

Someone enlighten me on Ginger Root for the scalp/hair. What's it do? I wanna know. I keep fresh ginger in the house to make ginger ale. I wouldn't mind using it for something else.

There's a Thread about helping with 'thinning'.

I am going to use it as a Stimulant. It can also be used to increase growth. I will try it as a Rinse.

I currently use: Liquid Gold's Ginger Hair Crème. And Afroveda's Ginger Root Pomade. Both have a Tingly goodness.:lick:

So, that's why I'm going to try to steep some Ginger Root for a quick Rinse. I might add some Horsetail or Burdock Root in my Blend.

I'd love to taste Homemade Ginger Ale.:grin:
 
Well, I flew out to the farmers market and snapped up some fresh ginger root today.
Tomorrow I will be out to the Indian market, the meat plaza and whole foods to get my SNAP on :flyingwit
 
So I rinsed out my Coffee/DC. My hair felt the same as it did when I Tea Rinse. I'm going to try my new LACE Naturals Tea Blend for Shedding when I cowash Wednesday. If I like it I may mix it with the remainder of my coffee for my rinse next weekend. I'll add some vitamin E to preserve it. If I like it I'll just mix the two from here on out :).

Does your indigo "take" when you reapply like this? I think I need re applications to get the coverage that I need!
 
Hello all of you tea, coffee, ayurvedic and other lovers! I got up today waiting for the Indian market to open. I flew down there :flyingwit and headed on in there with a list I had printed on a Christmas card :santa:. I walked in there, and there were some prepackaged portions of herbs. Ok. This is where I get a small amount that I can start out with. I got a small bag of fenugreek, a bag of rose hip refills, and a bag of Chinese licorice sticks. I had my list. Why did I leave my Saw Palmetto berries, the DHT blockers in the store?:wallbash: I had not finished my coffee and I guess I was not thinking straight. Or at all,:coffee2: I flew on to Whole Foods, :roadrunner: and headed on in there. Oh Boy! Got to get my hemp seed oil! Ain't none?:freakout: I was really drugged. I started to ask for the manager. Ain't none. Well, I headed to the herb section and got a piece of burdock root that looked like a divining rod because it was forked at the end.:witch: I ended up with a piece of yucca( why not), a bag of nettle, and a few aisles over I found the hemp seed oil in the refrigerated section. They better had found some!:whip:. I got out of there and went to the meat marker and bought some meat so I would not be guilty of not buying food and getting stuff for my hair:ohsnap:
 
@felic1 Girl...You & that SNAP Card.:nono:

You know I'm :dighole: Right???:lol:

Also, yes, I can reapply Indigo Rx only if I have a nice Henna Stain.

A Indigo T/U works fine for me if my Henna has been freshly applied.

Glad you found everything you needed at Whole Foods.

And please, please, please go back to that Indian Store & Get Your Stuff.:rolleyes:
 
I got a Piece of Ginger Root today
Braggs ACV
Coconut Water @ 2/$4

Not sure when I'll try the Ginger Root & the Coconut Water. The ACV is for my Henna.

Is that good or bad? I know you like tea. For some reason, coffee tames my hair. But then again, coffee makes me a more tolerable person. I'm kind of a diva when I don't have coffee; I guess my hair is too.

Please excuse my iPhone; it's trying to get it together
 
so ive been using jar of joe(coffee) since i just got braids.
im going to pull out my ayurvedic oil and use that while i have these in too.

when i take them out(whenever that is:look:) i hope i have some good amla powder on hand so i can do a treatment.
 
Simmered a garlic and ginger infusion to do an Ayurvedic wash but got too busy. Will let it marinate in the fridge til Thursday or Friday then warm it up for use. Will be nice and strong!

I got paid :look:
Will head to the Indian market this week and snap up fenugreek seeds and vatika oil

felic1...you make me :giggle: with your herbal antics! :lol:
