felic1 I keep my Product-Stash out in the Garage. I only bring in 'stuff' I'm using. So, I don't hafta' look at it all. :look:

Maybe if it was all in here, I could cut down buying stuff.:blush:

mshoneyfly Very Creative Blend with the WEN613. I agree about that Maple Smell. :yep:

Regardless of the Hair Lotions, Cremes, Oils I used after my Fenugreek Rinses, that smell was still prominent.

I'll let you know how it turned out :wink:

If I kept my stuff outside, Id prob spend long amounts of time out there, longingly looking at everything, opening and smelling stuff, looking at the ingredients, reorganizing, making inventory lists, etc. Esp with that major stash you have over there :lol:

Doing another fenugreek paste dc. This time I added a paste of coconut milk powder :lick: marsh mallow root powder, tupelo raw honey and slippery elm powder. Then I added some Wen 613 and some of my original fenugreek paste. I didn't add any more oils cuz I used some of practically every oil I own! WAYYYY too much!!

OMG!!! Could it get any more slickery?? Anyway adding those things took away some of that fenugreek smell. Every time I would sweat or drive with the windows down, I could smell maple syrup!!

This time I didn't get any leftover granules. Also, last time I didn't shampoo after rinsing the paste. I just cowashed it out with VO5 the way I do with other powders with excellent results. But the fenugreek paste needs to be shampooed out. I followed up with VO5 Freesia for a little keratin shot then VO5 pomegranate grape seed for moisture. I swear my hair looked shinier than usual and very soft!!!

Gonna do some bantu knots and call it a night
 
Tea Rinse with Lace Naturals Hair Tea For Shedding

I have one more use of the batch I made previously.

Next batch will be a personal mix: Black Ceylon Tea, Red Rooibus, Marshmallow root and Feenugeek :).
 
So mad I travelled all the way to that tea store and forgot to get burdock root smh. I'm on my last tea bag. I bought the same teas of my cc naturals, and I already have peppermint and green tea. I can always buy them loose and keep a stash.

I still like coffee rinses better....

Please excuse my iPhone; it's trying to get it together
 
I missed my Sunday wash so I did it yesterday. I prepooed with the fenugreek paste.I washed with diluted sulfate free SM and rinsed it out and used an organic greek yogurt for a mild protein and added a little coconut milk. It felt heavenly. I did my deep conditioner with DB deep and SD VS under a steamer. I did a coffee rinse, ACV and a roobioos tea mix. I guess that is a F-OG CAT.........I guess I will do better next time:look:
 
Brewing some tea that I'll use in today's post relaxer rinse:
Marshmallow root
Slippery Elm
Irish Moss
Fenugreek
Hibiscus
Horsetail
Saw Palmetto
Rosemary
 
So i did a coffee rinse about 2 days ago and im loving the results...it will def be added to my reggie

Sent from my GT-I9100G using LHCF

Please let us know namely me how it goes, I'm going to indigo soon Tia :)
Click to expand...
It went great lisanaturally! This was my third time. Gray roots covered and my hair is really dark. Indoors it looks jet black. Outdoors its a 1b. The indigo always makes my hair thicker for a while. Like other Ayurvedics, it also loosens my super kinky curl pattern


OAN: found some fenugreek. Gonna read back and see how to use it.

Also, made the best tea spritz ever!! Added silk peptides (just a few sprinkles). I sprayed it on dirty hair cuz I couldn't wait :look:. O M GEEEE! Tangles dropped, silky feel. Trying really hard to hold on for wash day tomorrow to get a feel for it on clean hair...however, I could just cowash and try it out.:look:
 
@DarkJoy

Those Silk Peptides sound good. :lick:

I use to use Honeyquat in stuff and it was nice added in stuff too.

But I got away from trying to Mix-Stuff. I think I also used Silk Aminos.

I do keep Hydrolzed Keratin around to Pre-Rx my Hair before I relax.
 
Will Do a CAT today:

Columbian Coffee under Afroveda's Ashlii Amala Raspberry DC'er. Will do 30 minutes (Steam) with Alter Ego Garlic 1st
ACV Rinse with MOP's (Modern Organic Products) Burdock Root Rinse Toner
Tea (Black) Rinse
 
mshoneyfly you were right to put your fenugreek paste in the fridge...I opened mine up the other day and it was green and growing fuzz:nono:

This morning I got my mortar and pestle out and ground up hibiscus and irish moss then added it along with marshmallow root and slippery elm powder and fenugreek seeds to soak throughout the day to make a new batch of the fenugreek paste. I'll probably use it tomorrow.
 
Forgot my Coffee.:blush:

So, I guess instead of Doing a C A T, I'll be doing an A-T.:sad:

I'll use my Columbian Coffee Tuesday hopefully with Marie Dean's Coffee & Kokum DC'er.
 
uh.... careful with the silk for anyone trying it. Guess I forgot it's a protein :lol: My hurr is a little dry and crispy :look: Will do a cowash and DC with AO RM to correct this. It doesnt seem 'urgent' if that makes sense. Actually the hairs feel really strong and there's zero dry breakage and zero matting, so *shrug* I'll take care of it tomorrow. Also, the air here took a turn for the super dry the last couple weeks so it's probably a combination of things.

My next experiments with silk and tea will be to:

- not saturate the hair with silk-containing spritz. Light mist with only moisture teas (oolong, bamboo when it arrives and rooibos) and penetrating oils like peanut and coconut

-mix with my 2 min condish on cowash days.

That is all....

I left mine out yesterday but the house stays so cold IDT it will be a problem. It has all kinds of oils in it...the clary sage, rosemary and i think lemon grass might help to preserve it some. I'll keep an eye on it and put it back in the freezer.

DarkJoy
Same with the bentonite clay. I did a hair masque overnight. My hair seemed slightly tangled even though I cowashed it out :look: I baggied o/n then m&s so its fine now but that stuff is really stengthening!
