Coffee,Tea,ACV,AVJ & Ayurvedic Challenge 2013

Im on vacation and had to do the only makeshift coffee rinse. Took the coffee from room service and added it to some bottle water. It worked :) I should've had hair the size of a golf ball after not combing for 6 days, but it was the size of a grape. Im only looking forward to going back home to find that tea shop and a few ayurvedic shops in little india.
 
All hail ayurveda:yay: DarkJoy not saying that I doubted you, but :look: my hair felt stiff before I got in the shower. As soon as the water hit my head I was like :wow: she was right:yep: my hair felt normal, good and yes balanced. That was even before I did my usual tea/oil/conditioner.
I did a strand test and my hair was strong, like strong as dd's natural hair strong and that's saying a lot for my fine relaxed tresses :yep: I even forgot to do my acv rinse.
This has me really excited to henna now:yep: I guess if one henna's once a month would they then do this one a month? Say 2 weeks apart?
 
@Nix08 :yay:!!! Glad it worked for you! Did your hair and scalp feel clean too?

Just rinsed out mine and I use grease to seal throughout the week. Shikakai takes it all out. Woooooot!

Many henna blends are mixed with shikakai anyways. You can use them together, same day, back to back or whatever your hair likes. For me, since I'm going for color (dang those greys!) not necessarily strength with henna/indigo, I chelate and clarify to strip my hair of everything before hand to get the max dye deposit, so usually dont use the powders before. If it werent for that, I'd just use the powders.

Yes my scalp and hair did feel clean. ..I was/am very happy. I think that I'll be ready to take the henna plunge next week! I'm really excited:grin:
 
Ok im doing my first shikakai tulsi wash/dc today. I will prepoo first with hair trigger. I added more garlic infused with EVOO
 
My hair is so happy today. Changed up the DC and did a reconstructor after the shikakai and followed that with AO RM. ACVd. Spritzed with the silk tea blend. Wow it feels both strong and soft. THe twist out is magnificent!
 
Thanks IDareT'sHair. I've been overdoing it with the herbs in my tea lately cuz I'm used to boiling the water to turn it into conditioner. I probably would have emptied a whole bag into my next tea rinse :ohwell:

Nooooo Ms. Lady! Please don't do that.:lachen: Just a Pinch.:lol:

I still have those same little 10 bags from x2 years ago.

I made several purchases from HermitCrab. I wish that durn shipping was reasonable tho'

I also bought Calendua and some Hibiscus and a few other flowers from them.

I just use a pinch in my Blends when I want to use the Flowers.

I found this on Amazon, but wasn't sure, so I didn't get it. It just seems like Malva Leaves.

Brewing a spritz blend of:
Amla
Ashwagandha
Bamboo
Bhringaraj
Burdock
Moringa
Nettle
Peppermint
And hibiscus because red is my favorite color and I'm growing increasingly in love with hibiscus :look:

Also I'm going to add saa to my acv that I use in my final rinse. The rosemary was a fail we shall see about saa:yep:

I also used wheat germ oil on the hair shaft and ends. I let that sit for 20 minutes under a plastic cap then applied a mix of Shikakai powder, tulsi powder, Vatika oil and Tresemme Naturals. I applied it relaxer style and smoothed down the shaft to the ends. I am sitting under cap and skully hat right now.

Im excited to see how it feels when I rinse. I will use some DC after rinsing but not sure which one yet.

DarkJoy
What type of protein is in the reconstructor you used after rinsing shikakai? Its good to see you got such great results!
 
You said you have fine hair Nix08?

You might find the saa is the bomb.com. The feel is amazing. I keep two spritzes now. One with and one without saa. The saa one is after any wash,.incl cowashes midweek. The non saa is for daily moisturizing.

Just use the saa sparingly like a few sprinkles. It's a protein after all. I learned that real quick :lol:

Did my tea rinse after my protein treatment. I massaged it through my hair to see if it smoothed my hair down like last week. I couldn't really tell. But it didn't make my hair feel tangled or hard so that is good.

I will use up the rest of the box of green tea and then I will start on some of my other teas.

Glad you are trying to stick with it and be consistent. The effects are often cumulative and just get better with time.

I think you told me that before. But thank you for telling me again. It will help me stick with it. I will pay attention to see if I see any changes over time.

Soaked hair in ^^tea^^ under DCner
 
DarkJoy, yes I am fine haired and I owe you thanks again because it was actually from you that I got the idea to put the SAA in with my ACV. It was a winner:grin: My hair felt extra 'slimy' after that final rinse:yep:
 
Hey Ladies,

The shikakai, tulsi dc gave me a gooood cleansing and lots of strength. I had just done a henna a few days earlier so my hair felt ultra strong and maybe a little hard. I wanted to get some protein in (keratin) so I rinsed and cowashed out with VO5 free me freesia and my hair was like butta.

My mix was kind of gritty but didnt wanna use too much water bc I wanted it kinda thick. But it all came out after 3 washes.

I will be added this to my regimen. My hair and scalp is just as clean as when I use poo.

Note: when it rinsed over my body, it cleared my back acne and chronic heat rash. My skin is smooth and moist back there :clears throat: :blush: Same with my face. Gonna try it as a facial next!!
 
I know its kinda late in the year, but can I join? :grin: I currently use/have in my possession:

henna or henna blend
neem oil
Teas:
horsetail
burdock
hibiscus
nettle
rosemary
licorice
rooibos
ginger
I use all herbs as a tea either as a rinse under a DC or as a final rinse.
