Coffee,Tea,ACV,AVJ & Ayurvedic Challenge 2013

When my Grey starts popping up everywhere to the point I can't take it.:lol:

Right now I probably do it about every 10 weeks.

But if I wore my hair out daily, I'd probably do it about every 4-6 weeks out of necessity.

I love it tho'.

Steeped tea this afternoon; fenugreek, horsetail, nettle, fresh rosemary (from my front yard), rooibos and rosehips in 4 cups of water. Will use some tonight as a rinse, some in a spritz over the weekend and the rest for a rinse early next week.

Ugh... Neem :barf:

However, the best use I found with it so far is to mix it in my dog's shampoo. Swear 'fo God, it kills fleas. I stopped using those flea drops that cost like $50 for 3 pack. Havent had to use flea control in a year.

I follow that shampoo with some strong smelling dog condish cuz... it lingers...Oddly enough my dog likes the taste! :lol:

DarkJoy off topic, that sounds like a great idea. We dont have fleas here but the flies kill my cocker's ears. I've been chopping up garlic and adding it to her food. The flies dont bother her anymore.
 
Ooo! I will keep the garlic in the back of my mind if my little chihuaha has pests too! thanks @Wenbev!

Congrats @felic1!!!! You know that fine tea-head of hair got you that job. :lol:

Not that you asked me @Nix08 :look: :lol: but at one point I was henna-ing once a week. Finding myself indigo-ing every 2-3 weeks. My hair is really fine and low density so I enjoy the added thickness it gives. Plus aint nobody got time for grey hair!

Yuuuup!

I henna'd once a week for the first few months I used it. Turned my grey hair an AWESOME copper. I henna monthly now and I can't see stopping anytime soon.

Hello Brewing ladies!! This was my midweek. I misted my hair with spritz, applied olive oil and ceramides and topped with AE hot oil treatment and steamed for 40 minutes. I rinsed and lightly shampooed with SM moisture retention diluted. I then used SSI okree for about 1/2 hour under the dryer on low. I rinsed and applied hemp seed oil to my old lady ends and more olive oil and ceramides to the shaft on top of coffee with Oyin honey hemp for 40 minutes with steam. I rinsed, sprayed with ACV, and sprayed with tea mix. I dried lightly. Used jojoba mix with essential oil to scalp with massage. I applied SD hair milk to hair ,JBCO to ends and HH coconut YUZUlove to seal. Ooh, the ringlets !:look: I am in some type of hair ectasy/gasm under the fan with my baggy on and this bonnet.:blush: I feel so good. I never used to feel this great about hair hygiene and treatments, I just feel splendid.:drunk: Thank you all for your hair friendship and more!!:lol: I appreciate all of everyones support and encouragement! I start orientation for a job next week,so I should be stalking these companies and awaiting BLACK FRIDAY!!! Yes I am shouting!!!:yep:

I slept overnight in Ynobe Shop's Green Tea & Moringa DC'er (after rinsing my Henna out)

I just steamed in Afroveda's Ashlii Amala Raspberry Deep Conditioner with a Coconut Water Rinse underneath.

I'll do an Hairveda ACV Rinse

And my Tea of choice this washday is Fenugreek with my Ginger Peach Leave-In from Naturelle Grow
 
Just bought some fenugreek, marshmallow root and slippery elm powder. Can anyone suggest how I should use it. I need to combat some shedding and thicken my strands, need moisture and slip for easy detangling. Help please!

Ooh!Fresh home grown Rosemary......
 
I was a little extra with my mix but it felt awesome going on! I mixed 2tsp each of fenugreek, marshmallow and slippery elm powder in 3 cups boiling distilled water. Let sit for about an hour with 2 bags black and 2 bags rooibos tea. Took tea bags out and added some honey and sunflower oil. Mixed with my mixer and let sit for another hour. Poured about 1/2 cup AOHSR into about 1 cup of the mix. Blended. Coated my hair heavily with EVCO, detangled and sectioned into 4 quadrants. Applied the mix, baggied and skullied. Waiting about an hour to rinse. My hair felt AWESOME during application!!!! Can't wait to see how it air dries once I rinse and cowash with VO5 passion fruit smoothie. Will probably bantu knot tonight for church tomorrow.
 
The henna is in:grin:
Eta: I added lemongrass eo for scent. I don't hate the smell of henna but I love the smell of lemongrass:yep:

You can add one or more to your DC; esp one that doesn't provide enough slip and moisture. The powders are also good to add to a r/o conditioner to make it into a DC. Do you henna?? If so, add one or more to your next mixture.

Like nix08 said, you can make a tea with them too and rinse before or after cleansing

I LOVE this HHJ!!

I mixed all three with some AOHSR, honey and sunflower oil. Perfect! I don't henna but I do have a small batch of cassia left in my freezer. Maybe I'll try that...creating a monster here....
 
I really miss my Ayurvedics :cry3:. Only had this crochet installed a week and I'm itching to smear shikakai on my strands *pout*

I decided to cowash my scalp and braids. Then rinse with rooibos for that spicey cinamonny smell tomorrow. It's a small fix for this addict, but its better'n nothin!
 
Did an overnight with KeraVada 8x Amla Brahmi blend.
Followed my wash with a Shi Naturals Tea Rinse and also used some Claudie's Tea under my creamy leave in.

Sealed with a little KeraVada.
