My henna mix is waiting for me at home. I put in hibiscus powder :love: will add conditioner, oils, avg and honey powder. Maybe clove powder for scent
 
Saludable84, my hair loves coconut oil but can do without coconut milk. Re: coconut water. I'm just not there yet. It's too delicious for me to turn it into a hair rinse.

Wenbev Nix08, you ladies are funny with the henna at work experience.

IDareT'sHair, :wave: my beer is still sitting in the pantry. A few days ago dh found it and said, what is this for. I totally forgot about it. :nono: It was at that point I remembered the experiment I was set to try but never did. I will definitely remember this relaxer stretch period.

I don't think I have updated yet but I did my beer rinse finally! I have to admit the smell takes some getting used to but the benefits are awesome. My hair swelled into a nice thick shiny puff. I loved it a lot so needless to say, it's still a keeper. I simply put in a little more conditioner with it and rinse with not very cold, but cool water. Smell was great again.

Aggie, would you say it acted as a protein seeing how the hair felt swollen?

Aight so I tried that beer rinse last night. Here's what I did:

-CW with Giovanni SAS
-poured flat room temp beer over hair
-covered with a plastic cap for 5 mins
- rinsed in lukewarm H2O

My hair felt stiff afterward like the beer gave it hold. I didn't really like it but I'd try it one more time with a diff beer and maybe as a pre poo instead of a final rinse :shrug:

Here are a couple of beer posts -- Aggie APrayer4Hair, any suggestions or tips for us that may try beer rinsing?

Thank you Ms. Lady!:grin:

And thank you for posting those other posts too.:yep: *appreciate that*

Interesting. They say the Barley & Hopps are suppose to be quite beneficial to the hair.

I may try it this Fall/Winter when I'm stuck in the house with a bunch of Snow.:nono:

Maybe under a DC'er. I did hear it has strengthening properties. So, it may mimic Protein a little.:yep:

IDareT'sHair, you're welcome. :yep: I may try it on a long weekend in the event my hair be like, no boo-boo that wasn't the business.
 
Was thinking I was gonna be outta the loop here as on a whim I decided to crochet braid.

Then I thought, why not continue to tea rinse over the braids and extensions? I will be spraying with non-silk spray and sealing as needed, usually every 2 days. 1x - 2x a week will cowash then tea rinse with Rooibos being the main ingredient. LOVE the cinamonny spicey smell. It lingers for a day or 2. :lick:
 
Maybe when these are out in 2-3 weeks, I'll be brave and try the Great Beer Experiment. :yep: Never know what my hair likes. She has odd tastes.

Coconut is just so funny. The oil my hair doesn't like. The milk was iffy. I wound up washing the next day, it was just too stiff. The cream is good, but I never feel like it completely penetrates. I think my body enjoys the water internally, so I can't see myself using the precious water for my hair either and there really aren't any cheap brands out there.

Thats why I find it so funny my hair like the SD RCA, because it has coconut milk. Meanwhile, her hair milk was a hot mess on my hair. Like a HA-stiff-M. I gave up on coconut. Probably will just stick with that :(
 
Will probably do a henna with my protein treatment soon. Then again, waiting if I should wait to do that. The next few weeks are going to be overload on my regimen and hair.

Do you ladies think if I just use fenugreek seasoning (the ground one, I think I can just grind the seeds myself in my spice grinder) is that good for a rinse? I don't want to do the paste again, and though I hated the volume it will help me stretch :look: Like I just run my fingers through every strand.

I paid $4.00 for x2 16 oz Cartons. VitaCoco Pure Coconut Water.

Not sure how 'equal' it is in the Realm of Coconut Waters out there on the Market, but I do plan to try it under a few DC'ers when I finish up my opened Columbian Coffee.

Usually coconut water is from the Pacific Coast. Its good, don't get me wrong, but my DH is from Dominican Republic and we recently went to Jamaica and the coconut water from both countries taste slightly different then the ones I always buy from the store. They don't taste as minerally and sometimes chalky as the ones you buy in the store. Maybe thats just me, but Ive spoken to some fellow islanders and they agree :look:

Prior to this, I wondered how a coconut water rinse after poo would treat my hair. It doesnt sound like it could hurt, but in this house, if I leave it out, the hubby will drink and I won't find out until wash day :nono:
 
soludable84

You can prob use the seasoning. It sounds like you want a tea instead of a paste so just steep it like you would a tea, strain and rinse. As long as it doesnt have anything else added.

I tried drinking coconut water but it tasted terrible to me. I have another one I will try as a hair rinse soon
 
Hello! IDareT'sHair!! I haven't posted in a few days. I was cowashing and deep conditioning and failing to post. My hair was really dry. I used some of this Tazo tea I uh found and added it to this fenugreek mix. I think my son poured off some of the water because there was not a lot left in the bowl. I gave my self a rhassoul mask with grapeseed and olive oil on top of olive oil soaked air. I rinsed it out and did the fenugreek with tresseme conditioner. I rinsed it and did a light wash with shea moisture
retention shampoo. Then I used an AE with rice bran, grape seed, coconut whet germ and hemp oils. My hair drank that. I thought I would turn into an oil slick but no. After I rinsed this out, I dipped my ends in almond oil in a pre bottle. It was absorbed as well. I used a QBCTDG throughout my hair and some Kyra mango cream on top of that almond oil to seal. It was nice and moist after all that!!:yep:
 
Made a new batch of fenugreek paste with the following powders:
Fenugreek
Ashwagabdha
Slippery elm
Bhringaraj
Marshmallow root
Rose
Coconut milk
With sesame oil and cedarwood and lavendar eo.

@mshoneyfly do you keep yours in the freezer? If so does it solidify or are you able to scoop some out for use?

ETA: I also added triphala to the mix.

@felic1 Hey Ms. Lady! You were busy.:lol: Dippin' & Soakin'

I hope you got your Moisture Levels back on Track.:grin:

@mshoneyfly We'll have to compare notes on the Coconut Water. I had no intentions drinking it.:look:

I purchased it specifically for a Hair Rx. (Even though it was in the Organic Food Section):lol:

@DarkJoy Keep us posted on the Beer Rinse. I hear the benefits are suppose to be great. If/when I try it, I will rinse and put the DC'er on top & Steam.:yep:

Sorry for the late reply...I was mixin up a fenugreek paste for my little cuz.

I kept the fenugreek and water mix in the freezer. It was nice and soft and gel like due to the mucilage. I let it thaw about an hour, spooned into the blender, added a little more water, blended then added the coconut oil , blended. Then I mixed my other dry ingredients in another bowl with some water, added oil, conditioner, avg, Vit E oil and EO. Then I blended this mix into the fenugreek and coconut oil mix and applied.

I didnt have anything left but if I did, I would put that in the freezer for sure. It only takes an hour to thaw. Just stir and it should be creamy. The same with henna.

Ohh, I also added bhringraj powder and amla oil.

No divachyk, I can't say that the beer acted as a protein at all. It My hair just felt thicker somehow, like when you use volumizing products on it, ya know? Of course, to keep this effect, you'd have to repeat it after your next shampoo.
 
Thank you mshoneyfly I have too much so I've stuck it in the back of my fridge (which almost freezes) and I'll assess it week by week:yep:

This batch of fenugreek paste OR this whole new regimen is FANTASTIC my hair feels sooo good!!

Can I share a secret with you guys:sekret: I've been sorta trying the inversion method and either it's working (although I didn't take measurements) or I didn't do my relaxer 2 weeks ago well, because I'm feeling the ng already. I'm sure it's my mind but it actually feels really good to massage with my head somewhat inverted:look:
 
Soaking Ritha soap nuts with amla powder, tulsi leaves and shikakai powder. I'll likely leave it till tomorrow then use the water as my first rinse after I oil my hair and scalp. The hope is that it will cut some of the oils from oiling my scalp and hair.

Pssst Nix08...ssssh! :sekret:

I'm doing a version of the inversion and it seems to work. Trying to get my crown (EL) to catch up to the nape (SL). Unfortunately, the nape started speeding up too! Its either that or the garlic or a combination.
 
:lol: Haha DarkJoy that's too funny:sekret: I do mine laying on my bed with my head slightly hanging over .... it feels soooo good:yep:


I'm soaking/brewing my wash mix upthread but I added eucalyptus oil to it this morning.
