Coffee,Tea,ACV,AVJ & Ayurvedic Challenge 2013

But scat means animal poop. O_________o

I can't see any mentions on my IPhone. PM me if it is a must see. Allons y
 
I want to go ayurvedic but I don't want red coloring from the henna, or darken my hair with indigo. Is there any ayurvedic products I could use that would thicken my hair without the color?

Cassia is a non coloring henna that strengthens hair without coloring. Most people mix it with conditioner for a DC.
 
Before my DC did a green tea rinse, a little stronger than usual. This time I squeeze it through my hair. My hair seemed to like that. It calmed down a bit. I will have to try it again next week to see if I have consistent results.
 
I'm getting interested in Henna...but boy does it look like one messy operation:nono: I don't know if I can commit to that.

Used my 'refresher' last night, and did another turmeric and avg mask on my face.

How did you make it? I used to use 5 green tea bags per ~3/4-1 cup of water. 4 cups of water was ideal for me. When I used black tea, I used the same amount. Now that I use coffee, its barely 20 ounces of water.

Please excuse my iPhone; it's trying to get it together
 
I did a rinse with coffee, marshmallow, burdock, lavender and Oatstraw. I had mucho slip when I rinsed my DC. I can also put my fingers through 2 months post roots.

I did a pre poo with pre by SD. I co washed with QBMTDG I deep conditioned with Sitrinilla with ceramides rinsed with Nubian moringa conditioner and finished with ACV and Tea mix. Nothing special. I guess that was SCAT as well(Sitrinilla(SP) ceramides, ACV and tea. I was tired. The co wash and conditioner were so refreshing!:yep:
 
So, it seems my hair likes the silk tea despite my initial worries. Almost zero dry breakage even when manipulating :yay:!!

And dernit--out of shikakai! I can not cleanse without it so off to the indian store this week. It's probably time to chelate anyway--got hard water. I will dilute my swimmers shampoo then follow with teas and AO RM and what not.

Did I mention the smeel the red rooibose leaves on the hair is amaaaazing?! :lick:
 
I found an indian grocer....you know I bought some things right:look: Fenugreek powder and shikaki powder and henna (I have no idea what I'm doing with the henna yet).

ETA: Why do Indian herbs have to smell like they do:nono:

Did my SCAT = b.a.s.k. Beauty's Vanilla & Whiskey Repairative Hair Soak under Saran Wrap & Plastic Cap under my Wig and met friends at Red Lobster for Lunch.:lick:

Will Steam in a bit with Marie Dean's Coffee & Kokum DC'er over a Cup of Columbian Coffee.

Will rinse and do an ACV Rinse with Hairveda's Phinishing Hair Rinse

Will use Fenugreek Tea with my Leave-In & some Nourish Oil (Silk Dreams).

Um, dang you make me feel like I'm not doin nothing :lol:

I put 2 tea bags in 1 cup of water and though I was working it out :lol:

Why did you use so many tea bags?
 
I steeped summa errythang yesterday -- oolong, green, marsh root, burdock, slippery elm, peppermint, pure camomile, moringa, hibiscus, rose. I make a gallon jug at a time. Added EOs: lavender, rosemary & cedarwood. The bolded are new ones added to my weekly mix. Hopefully, I like.

They STANK but Indians being having hair for days, so it must work! I have a bunch of shikakai(?) and cassia in here I need to recruit one of these days. :yep:

See, that's what I'm talmbout. That's what I'm in it for. And for the first time in my 40years my hair is thriving and retaining! Stinky ayurvedics are the business. Wish I'd have found them 20 years ago.

In any case, the smell dissipates as soon as its rinsed out.

If it lingers for (general) you, buy some EOs or fragrances. I buy a mix of paraben/pthalate free artificial fragrances and EOs and add to the pastes and tea spritzes when I feel like it:yep:.
