Coffee,Tea,ACV,AVJ & Ayurvedic Challenge 2013

Yea like IDareT'sHair I just use it straight up and massage in. I use only as a pre-poo. Hasn't caused any scalp issues and I have really bad eczema at times. Most things cause a flare for me but not KeraVada (and other natural or Ayurvedic products).
 
Super late but im joining.

Cassia
Amla
Henna

I would like to give ACV a try but I need to research how to use it and how much.
 
Coffee/tea/coconut Milk rinse. Then another shikakai/amla/Tulsi/Areetha rinse over top of my first rinse/oil and conditioner.

Black Tea under Claudie's Renew Protein Rx
ACV Rinse with Hairveda
Tea Marshmallow Root Tea with my Leave-In and a dab of Oil
 
Re-upped on my stock of Rooibos tea yesterday during my Whole Foods haul. Steeping a few bags now for my final rinse with AVJ. I have never tried AVJ before, just the gel. We shall see if there is a difference. Also, used raw honey today for the first time. I usually use regular honey. This is a true experimental wash day. Can anyone share with me the difference you have noticed in using AVJ v/s AVG?
 
Brewed my teas for rinsing last night. I included: red rooibos, («first time I'm trying it), english black breakfast tea/lipton black pearl, mint, rose hips, lemon balm, chamomile, and hibiscus («heaping portion of the last 2). I find my hair likes tea rinses applied underneath conditioner instead of as a second to final rinse (ACV is always last). I 2nd DarkJoy 's sentiments earlier in summer that fresh herbs are so much better than dried!!

I'm starting an herb garden next spring, but for those hard-to-find, or hard-to-grow plants, I will purchase dried or powdered herbs in the best condition I can find them. I use herbs, teas, and oils for so many things.

SN: Chamomile tea and honey recently sent my 5 y.o. DD's cold packing, and really helped my 11 month old with coughing. Not even cold meds worked as well for DD. Children under 6 aren't supposed to have them, but she was so miserable and restless. Whipped out a teaspoon of honey, and had her drink a cup of chamomile tea, and she didn't cough all night. Yes, chamomile tea is safe for babies on stage 2 baby food or higher (8 months and older). If they can have juice and water, chamomile is fine. My DS's homeopathic teething drops contain chamomile and styrax.

Off to see what else styrax can be used for. :look: I believe in multi-use products and items! :yep:

- OAN: Do any of you ladies know where I can purchase a GIANT like 5-6" diameter tea ball (t-ball)? Usually I have no probs finding anything I want on my beloved Ebay, but the largest I saw was 3.5" in diameter. And I have a 2" and I stuffed my herbs in and couldnt fit them all. Mention me if you have any info! Might have to weld and sauter my own. Y'all know how industrious (Black) mothers can be. Cant buy it, make it! :lol:

P.S. For those who have Kroger food stores nearby, all their teas are on sale right now, and I found a 32 ounce (2 lb) bottle of PURE (not organic tho) honey (Kroger brand) for $5.69. I have paid $4.99 for 12 ounces of organic on the regular, and at the location I went to, I snatched the last bottle.

Click to expand...

I tea rinse every single wash, whether it's a full shampoo and DC or just a CW. I'm bouta CW now and im cooling my tea down to use it. I personally mix both caffeinated coffee and teas with decaf teas like chamomile and hibiscus. I need the caffeine but also the goodness of the other herbs, so I mix them and pour it on.
 
Needed a serious clarify. Started with ao swimmers shampoo very diluted.

Now sitting with ayurvedic powders with amla back in to see if it elongates the coils.

reconstructing with vatika egg reconstructor (15m) and chasing that with moisture/growth dc of vatika garlic mask with oolong and rooibos plus peanut, grapeseed and sunflower oil rinse underneath (30m)

Silk tea spritz and seal
 
I lied. First time use: chased that egg reconstructor with SM anti-breakage mask which contains baobab and yucca. My hair loves baobab. NEver tried yucca. So another experiment. Rinsed it out and my hair fees REALLY soft but not wet breaking (this NEVER happens--wet breakage for me is a given). Sooooo.... this is a keeper if my hair dont start falling out or scalp acts up the next few days! :D

Mixed up some henna before work this morning...used 100g henna, 25g rose powder and a tea mix of rooibos, nettle, rose hips and fenugreek. 12hours later, i came home to a creamy henna mix and added honey before plopping into my hair. Will keep in for 3 hrs, rinse and use a moisturizing dc and a couple ozs of keravada greentea oil for an hour with heat.
