Coffee,Tea,ACV,AVJ & Ayurvedic Challenge 2013

Ok ya'll gave me the idea! I'm gonna do a 'pre-poo' yes, in crochet braids :look: overnight... I just can't wait to try my KeraVada w/fenugreek oil. I just gotta... I cant wait another 2 weeks!!!!!

*fidgeting and shakin' like crackhoe late with her fix*
 
Left the henna in four 4.5 hours yesterday and I was scared but again this color isn't drastic... nor was my hair hard or dry. I don't know why I was so afraid of henna. .I love this stuff. I'm sure when I go outside the color will be very apparent but I'm loving it:yep: my hair feels so so good.

Thanks again ladies for this thread, your encouragement, ideas and pusher ways:lachen:
 
@Nix08

I only Cowash. So, I'm not sure about Shampooing. Henna is permanent.

So, I'm not sure how shampooing immediately afterwards impacts the Color fully depositing.

I have cowashed a day or 2 afterwards, with no issue.
 
IDareT'sHair...hehe I hardly ever shampoo that it isn't even in my vocabulary anymore..I meant cowash:giggle:
I plan to do a fenugreek treatment today. I will still do it, later and steam it in:yep:

Plus I need to make a refresher/stimulator blend for the week. I love spritzing my scalp when I don't get the chance to wash.
 
@Nix08

I really don't think you'll have a problem. Henna Stain is there to stay.:grin:

That Fenugreek Treatment sounds good too, especially right after a nice Henna Session.:lick:
 
Hey Ladies,
I survived my first day on the new job. Im gonna henna today!! Forgot to take it out of the freezer last night so I gotta wait on it to thaw...but its all good

Now lets see what Im DCing with after...Perfect time to get some much needed housework done :lol:

Oh!! Today Im making a spreadsheet of all my powders and teas for easy planning ahead based on what my hair needs. Maybe I'll add all my conditioners too :spinning:

My DC with fenugreek and millcreek biotin came out fabulouso:yep:

I can't get over how henna truly does make your strands feel thicker...I never did really believe it:look:

Did a ayurvedic first rinse during my cowash. Followed by a tea/coffee rinse and a final leave in rinse of acv and saa.
 
Used olive oil and QBMTDG for pre poo with steam. Then with coconut oil and oyin honey hemp and steamed 1/2 hour. Has coffee under it for second dc. Then ACV and tea for finale/

Ladies, I am headed to the health food store after work. I don't do any black teas or coffees. They make my hair feel brittle. And I have only really tried green tea to rinse.

So what things should I pick up today?

Well seeing as how my list is pretty small, I'd recommend rooibois tea for moisturizing, burdock for strength and shed, and Bamboo if you can find it for growth. Bamboo is nonexistent on the ground in my parts.

Cool. Thank You. Do you mix those 3 together when you use them? How do you use them? rinse before DC? I know you have probably stated it in this thread before but this thread is HUGE :lol:
 
@faithVA If you can find it, I'd add marshmallow root, slippery elm and hibiscus to what @DarkJoy has suggested.

ETA: I would generally use them all together for a DC or a mid wash rinse (that's pretty much how I use those teas).

:yay: Thank You all for my personalized lists. I am going to get as many of these things as I can. Hopefully they have full jars when I get there. I will report back later.

I am going to buy some Walnut Powder as well to see if it works on my grays.
 
faithVA, I mix n match depending on my mood. However, first time use it is best to try one at a time. That way if your hair dries out or scalp itches, it's easy to know which one and not to use it again.
