Coffee,Tea,ACV,AVJ & Ayurvedic Challenge 2013

Been DCing with my bootleg heatcap (saran, plastic cap and skully) for about 3 hours. Took a nice nap to catch up on beauty rest. When I took off the skully, the plastic felt almost hot to the touch. This is great since I dont have the patience for sitting under a dryer.

I used a henna, fenugreek (I think...:look:) mix from several months ago I found in the freezer. I added some watercress powder, bhringraj, irish moss, kapur kachri, safflower oil and essential oils on damp unwashed hair. About to rinse, shikakai shampoo bar, tea rinse and VO5 rinse out.

I LOVE this HHJ!!

:lol: mshoneyfly you need to go buy some labels and a sharpie from WallyWorld, Tar-Jay Boutique, or the :dollar: store. :lachen: Lady, you need to know what your putting in your hair. :lachen:

How long can you keep Ayurvedic mixes in the freezer for? Is it six months+?

I know, right? That was the last of my freezer stash. Will label from now on. I think 6 mos is too long. The henna loses its color so it wont stain. Maybe more like 1 mo for henna but it still had the awesome conditioning properties :yay: Im really liking that shampoo bar too

I LOVE this HHJ!!
 
Did an Overnight Oil "Soak" with KeraVada's Nettle Hair Oil.

Now will be proceeding with my CAT.

May use either the KeraVada Butter or L-I Crème after my Hair Dries.

Both the Butter and the Leave-In are full of Ayurvedic properties & Teas.
 
Did a CAT:

Coffee - Big Easy Intense Coffee
AVC - Hairveda's Phinishing Rinse
Tea - A mix of Peppermint, Fenugreek, Rooibos, and Horsetail
 
Gotta whip my hair into shape for my big interview Monday.

I am gonna try the fenugreek seeds for the first time tomorrow. :lick:
 
Wash day. Forgot to mention some changes to my usual shikakai, tulsi, neem mix.

Really focusing on growth and thickness so to the shikakai mix, I've added sulfur powder and out of sheer laziness organic garlic & ginger powders (for the times I dont feel like making the ginger/garlic water :lol: Removed amla in hopes of further loosening my 4c+ curl pattern.

Right now, ginger and fresh garlic are on the stove to make the paste. I have keravada fungreek, bharingiraj (sp), and whatever else in this oil pre-pooing

Will continue to add indigo powder to DCs. It really instantly thickens and shines my hair and I see less breakage. This only stays on for an hour max--no color deposit this method and that's fine.

Will do my regular tea/oil rinse and ACV--thank goodness I still have at least a quart in the fridge and it's still holding up a week later :yep:.
 
Is Roobios supposed to be moisturizing? Decided to rinse with black tea for first time but add chai roobios to it And it didn't leave my hair hard like I had expected considering the various reviews on black tea. Pleasantly surprised

I heard rooibos is good for moisture but I found it to cause my scalp to flake horribly.

Could be your scalp hated it. Mine does that with most products and many teas.

However, like fela, I've found rooibos to be very hydrating

mshoneyfly I just wet my hair with it then put in a little grapeseed oil and put my hair in two buns, and my hair is soft! I love it. I'm going to start incorporating avj in my ayurvedic pastes for sure. :)

I get good results when I use it as a moisturizer too. Its esp good to my NG. It seals the cutocle and even split ends nicely but I still seal with oil anyway

I LOVE this HHJ!!
 
How are you guys using your AYurvedic Powders? Prepoo, herbal rinses, DC's. Also does anyone coat their hair with oil before applying a paste? I was thinking that would make it easier to rinse. What do you pro's think?

I'm not a pro. Just got the oil from keravada but so far I mixed it in my castor oil for my scalp because I kept low bunning and I put it in my DC and it was really good.

I mostly use them as a DC. I put the oil and conditioner in my mix after mixing the powders with a little warm water. It could make it easier to rinse; never tried it. Lately I have been washing out the powders with: 1 shampoo bar wash and two VO5 cowashes. The best way to get the debri out is to PRESS handfuls (a lot!!) of VO5 into the roots (this is mostly where the debri gets stuck). Then massage the scalp and spread some conditioner to the shaft. Add more handfuls for longer hair. For me its the only thing that gets the powders out

Dont spend too much time on the initial rinse out because the twigs are NOT coming out without conditioner. Just rinse enough until the water is clear then break out the VO5. This advice came from Hennasooq and it works perfectly.

Good Luck EnExitStageLeft

I did a henna/indigo treatment last night. I am loving my hair this morning. I mixed it with Amla and Shikaki. I may start adding other powders in the future. I was never a product junkie but I think I my become a powder and herb junkie. So much fun, the results are amazing and the costs are a lot less. You guys are not a good influence on me. My hubby said to me the other day that he couldn't believe I had another box coming to the house. Oh well, there could by worse habits.
