Coffee,Tea,ACV,AVJ & Ayurvedic Challenge 2013

Brewing a gingerroot, nettle, green tee, garlic and onion tea rinse.
And of course a separate brew of fenugreek.
This weekend is hair weekend: clarify, protein, deep conditioning for me and DGD.

Going to use Alba Botanica clarifying shampoo I found on clearance at Bed Bath & Beyond.
 
IDareT'sHair Hello Sis! I got a bit behind. Yesterday, I steeped some horsetail, nettle, red rooibos, and catnip. I added some strawberry tea also. It was not ready when I did my hair yesterday so I had to finish my hair and just deep condition and use ACV. My previous tea had to be thrown out. Now I have two bottles in the fridge for my Monday co cleansing, co wash session. My hair feels good. It's not as long as I would like but it is growing and responds well to treatments so I will be content with that!
 
Did an overnight with Keravada Amla Brahmi.

Poured on some Coffee under my DC and finished my wash with a Shi Naturals Tea Rinse.

Used Claudie's Kahve leave in and oil before going under the dryer.
 
Brewed some teas/herbs for under dc and final rinse
Dc: black, green, chamomile, rosemary, peppermint
Final rinse: thyme, sage, hibiscus, horsetail, saw palmento, fennel.
 
Need to clarify. Trying to decide which method :scratchchin:

Maybe rasshoul and multani mitti clays with a touch of Ayurvedic powders (shikakai, tulsi, etc) . Mix that up with fresh mint & ginger water for the tingly. :lick:

Will then do under DC tea/oil rinse with nettle, burdock, rooibos plus olive and sunflower oils.

ACV.

Gonna pre-poo overnight with cottonseed oil and coconut oil.

I was going to try burdock root today but I didn't start steeping it early enough. So I settled on Nettle. No noticeable difference but it didn't make my hair hard so that is a win. I will try the burdock root next week. I will steep it on Friday so it is ready for the weekend.

I plan to start making my own mudwash. Eventually I want to use my own tea blend as the base. I have a long way to go before I have a tea blend though. My hair isn't mad at tea, it just isn't in love with it :lol:

I love burdock. I just steep for 4-10 minutes with my coffee rinse. I soothes my scalp because nettle makes my scalp feel like its tripping of shrooms.

Diluted my shampoo with some water and Hairveda Bringraj Oil (it has Amla in it too).

I did a coffee/tea rinse with Breakfast Blend, Marshmallow, Burdock, Oatstraw and Lavender. Yum Yummy.

Mix that same Hairveda oil in my DC. Yum Yummy again!
 
Mixed up a DC of coconut milk powder, bhringraj, tulsi, AVG, coconut water, safflower, coconut oil, lemongrass, clary sage with Shea Moisture masque. It came out soo smooth...like chocolate frosting!!

Havent put it on yet bc Im feeling lazy. Will stick it in the freezer for tomorrow night

I LOVE this HHJ!!
 
So apparently I was absolutely wrong about coffee rinses. I made a SKRONG (to strong I had to use ebonics) cup of coffee, applied it to my scalp, misted it on my length, applied my DC directly over top of it, DC'ed w/ steam, rinsed and :love:'ed my results.

My hair was soft and lush and it did reduce shedding a tiny bit. However in terms of shedding reducing I still prefer tea. So what I'll do next week it mix the two and see how it goes.

I think my coffee wasn't strong before so it didn't give me the same effect it gave you all. But I see the light and will continue to do them regularly.

Yeah, you have to make it strong. When I use even one tea bag of green or black tea, I see much reduced shedding then just coffee alone, but I don't mix them like that often. Coffee has a lot if caffeine and I find that when I add tea and use that over a long period of time, I have more shedding when I have to stop rinsing for any reason such as clarifying or pure laziness.
