ETA: Im pre pooing with ayurvedic oil blend
 
Went to the Asian market yesterday and found some goodies. I bought some dried hibiscus, marshmallow tea, fresh burdock root and some catmint tea.

I am going to make some concoctions and report back.

Thanks to my relaxed ladies for giving me tips on how you are using the herbs.
 
Bajanmum what's in your aryuvedic oil blend?

Last night I used the remnants of my amla powder, bhiringaraj powder and rose petal brew as the base of my DC...I really like this brew for a weekly cleanse:yep:

Steamed it in and cowashed this am with a coffee/tea/oil rinse and a final leave in rinse of tea/avj.

Me and my hair are very happy:grin:
 
Finally out of my box braids! I prepoo'd last night with vatika frosting, shampooed with raw black soap, and now im sitting with a henna treatment with black tea to strengthen my strands. I will DC and then do an ACV rinse.

Slight change to my earlier plans. I added marshmallow root to my hibiscus/plantain tea...Just because!
 
I'll be do ayurvedic treatment tomorrow using black tea, Sukesh ayurveda powder, and cocoveda oil.

Instead of using pure black tea, I used a tea blend of organic Rooibos, Peppermint, Horsetail, Stinging Nettle, and Oatstraw.

After rinsing out the ayurvedic mixture, I shampoo'd my hair and towel dried. I followed up with Komaza Care Honeycomb Hair Rejuvenator and sitting under dryer now. This stuff has aloe vera, honey quat, panthenol, and infusion of nettles, hibiscus, gotu kola, horsetail, saw palmetto, amla, brahmi, sage, green tea, licorice root, marshmallow, coltsfoot, passionflower, yarrow, pyguem, burdock root, emu oil, rice bran oil, pumpkin seed oil, aloe vera oil, vit.e., carrot seed oil, bay laurel, rosemary, peppermint, chamomile , rose otto, lavender, msm, and inositol.:lick:

Edited to say: The reviews on this product have been so-so. I love all of the ingredients. I will finish the bottle before determining if I will purchase again.

That Oatstraw sounds good. I had an Oatstraw Rinse (Bear Fruit Hair) that I liked, used up & never replaced.:perplexed

Where did you find your Oatstraw?

Also, I need to find my Komaza Honeycomb Rejuvenator. Those indredients.......:lick:
 
IDareT'sHair,

I found this tea at Whole Foods. It's made by The Republic of TEA: Be Well Red Teas: Get Growing. It's an herbal tea for hair, nails, and bones. It comes in a purple canister.
 
Trader Joes had a large 30 count pack of bagged green tea for a dollar. Better believe I bought a box. Included it in my wash today. 2 bags of green tea, 2 bags of black tea, 1 bag of chamomile to offset the dryness of all the caffiene. Just did the rinse so gonna let it set under my dp for an hour and see what the result is. I dont know HOW its gonna be any better than when I did it last week but if its even more amazing . LAWD.
 
Just oiled my scalp with Mahabhringerai oil..Hair/scalp soft..

*Its good at preventing shedding.

Happy Hair Growing!
 
Today, I massaged my scalp with a mixture of AVJ, Castor oil, EVCO, glycerine and a few drops each of rosemary, cedarwood and thyme oil.
 
Bear Fruit Hair is having a 35% sale on certain items from January 7-11 code-NewYear35

I still have a full bottle of the espresso cream,that I use for pre poos & rinse-outs.

Henna'd Friday with Nupur 9 Herbs Blend. The amla in it gives me the itchies though, it's not too bad and goes away but my nape seems to be particularly sensitive to it.

Did a full treatment with one tablespoon each of shikakai, brahmi, and neem and two tablespoons of bhringraj mixed in water and a capful of AVJ. Coffee rinsed under AO GPB mixed with 1/2 tablespoon bhringraj. Final rinsed with Rest Tazo tea/AVJ. Hair felt soooo good. :drunk: I'm telling you, if you haven't tried a coffee rinse under your DC you don't know what you're missing! My hair always feels so silky and I can run my fingers through it from root to tip! When I try to DC without it I do not have those results.

Silky huh? I'm scared but I may have to try it at least one time before I completely rule it out. I need to look up coffee rinsing again...
 
@WantNatural @Babygrowth :yep: I've been doing the Coffee under DC'er (Steaming) for the past 2-3 Wash Days.

I agree, it works great. Will continue this Regi-Tweak throughout the Winter.:lick:
