Think of it more as a DC instead of a prepoo. I usually add some conditioner to my ayurvedic pastes (including henna treatments). I also shampoo and detangle if needed before applying the paste to damp hair. This makes it smoother and rinses out much easier. Then I cowash out with my fav VO5. I usually don't shampoo after rinsing my pastes.

I have a ton of fenugreek in my house for when I cook, but I don't cook curry that much so it just sits there. I'm thinking of washing tonight, so I might try it tonight, if not tomorrow. I don't cowash, so I'll need a way to incorporate in a wash day.

Please excuse my iPhone; it's trying to get it together

Haven't tried kalpi tone but did take a look at ingredients a while ago. It has amla, brahmi and neem like sukesh. I like that it has methi (fenugreek) but quite a few of the other herbs Ive never heard of. I think thats why I didn't try it.

methi is fenugreek?! ooooh! seen that ground and boxed at the indian 'sto in the same brand! didn't know what it was. thanks for that mshoneyfly! woohoo!

Still might get a $2.00 sack of seeds to see if it can become a styling gel.

When I say 'cowash it out' that just means use a conditioner to help get it all rinsed out faster. Once you rinse, it will still be some left in your hair. I use the VO5 (a lot of it) and pile it on into the roots heavily to make the powder stick to the conditioner. I do this two times and rinse each time and all the paste is out. It saves a lot of rinsing time

Yep thats the other name for fenugreek. I will let you know how I like the tulsi. Im gonna mix with shikakai and conditioner for a nice cowash :lick:

No work break to make my fenugreek run. So now im heating up that garlic and ginger infusion that's been marinating 5 days to mix my Shikakai, tulsi, amla and neem paste. It's really strong that garlic. Also brewing oolong, nettle burdock, rooibos with assorted oils for my under vatika garlic DC. Finishing with ACV.

The Lace Naturals Hair Tea is THE BIDNESS! My shedding was cut in half....IN HALF! I was in shock when I looked in my hair catcher. I will definitely be purchasing another container in the near (tonight) future :look:.

Girl now i can't wait to get mines. Cause with my low to normal density, i can't afford to lose more strands than i need to. Thanks for the review: PUSHA:lol:
 
I never thought to add herbs to my acv... I'm going to for sure now .... oooohh now to decide which one:grin:

I'm back:giggle:
So - I got a new steamer yesterday and I plan on putting it to good use..I think it will be the catalyst to get me excited about hair and products again. Today I went to the dollar store and bought 25 of those glass spice bottles. I put my teas in them and wrote the name of the tea on the top of the lid. It's so exciting to look in the box and pick and choose. So, I am currently brewing a small batch of tea to dampen my hair so that I can apply a DC concoction..my tea blend right now is: marshmallow root, slippery elm, fenugreek, rose petals and rosemary.

OK ladies what are you guys thinking of putting in that acv...I'm thinking rosemary and burdock root.

How are you going to do it?

I was thinking of steeping 1 tsp of the herbs into 2 cups of water and adding the ACV to it. I dunno how its gonna turn out, but it seems intriguing.

I have a squeeze bottle with acv in the shower... I put the rosemary and burdock in a tea bag but when I was pushing it in the bottle the bag ripped. So its all just loose in there, including the bag:look: it's only about a cup worth so I will see how it goes:yep: How about you EnExitStageLeft?
 
Moisturize with Kizuri coconut mango,Applied HH wild grow oil on my scalp..Sealed with apricot mango pomade.

*Hair scalp loves/coconut & mango..

Happy Hair Growing!
 
My spritz was kinda funky--I guess it was in the bottle a bit long :nono:

Made some fresh! Went waaaay back to basics: oolong, nettle and burdock. Leaving the rooibos just for DCing.

Gonna order a bunch of bamboo. I miss it! Getting enough to last all winter. Gotta stock up for the lean times. It was the business and my tummy really loved it too :lick:!
 
I'm doing a two step henna/indigo treatment. I did step 1 overnight, now I'm doing step 2. I used my tea blend of burdock root, sage, fennel, and black tea. I also added amla and bhingrag powders, Mahabhringraj oil and conditioner to my henna.
 
Would anyone mind telling me their exact black tea rinse routine? My hair has been shedding a lot lately.I plan on doing a tea rinse tomorrow morning.

When I do black tea rinse, I use 3-4 tea bags with other teas in about 5 cups of water. I pretty much do 1 cup to 1 tea bag.
 
Im gonna try fenugreek today. I hate coconut oil. Do you ladies think I can substitute with Avocado or Apricot oil. My hair is not receptive to coconut oil. WAIT!!!!! I have babassu oil in here!!!! Nevermind ladies, my hair loves babassu.

Also, I fell out last night, do you think 8 hours (or about) is a good enough time to let it sit? I want to try it tonight.
