The SM line was on a buy 2 get one so I took your word on the Yucca milk since I had never tried it and bought one. My hair will be braided up under a wig mist of the winter I guess unless I get a braided style. I plan to start learning styles for 2014 so I am going to have new things to try for 2014 all around. Thank you.

Maybe I can go to the Health Food Store and get some Fenugreek Tea.
I have a jar of seed mix in the freezer but I will convert to tea after I finish up all of my seeds. I have the dickens of a time removing the seeds after the treatment.........:lachen:

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.

This really sounds good!
 
Made a 'but the kitchen sink brew' on the weekend and rinsed Saturday and Sunday.
Also used my shikakai based rinse both times.
 
Did a pre poo with coconut oil topped with bioinfusion critical care masque. Overnight. Rinsed and co cleansed with AS I AM cleansing conditioner. Coffee to scalp, tea to hair , blotted and hemp seed oil to hair shaft with AE hot oil treatment to the hair combined with sunflower, olive and rice bran oil. Under a cap and wig and went to run errands. Will steam after I finish cooking dinner.
 
Just cleaned out the indian market :look: . Literally bought every shikakai left on the shelf (6 boxes). Several amlas and neem. Even bought a huge container of coconut oil for $5!!!! This will be strictly for hair. Going to make shikakai and amla oils with it. Saw a how to on YT :look:

Going to remove ashwagandha powder from reggi. Not seeing benefits from it. Plus I wonder if it's not letting my coils elongate.

Replacing the shower head water filter tonight. Hard water is wreaking havoc on my body and hair too.

I sure will @mshoneyfly! GOing to try it doing it in the Ayurvedic tradition as shown by this Indian doctor here. Luckily all is cheap at the indian store so if I mess it up, I'll just try again. :) Tulsi is the bomb.com for cleansing scalp and removing dandruff, etc

Is it too late to join this challenge???:look:

I've been lurking forever and experimenting and finally developed spritz that's working for my hair.:yay:

So simple: AVJ, Distilled water and rose oil. All these months I've been mixing this tea with that powder in water infused with all them herbs. My hair always felt so coated. And I know I'm all axe backwards making spritz in the fall/winter time, but I cannot help myself!:nono:

Today I built on that simplicity by adding rooibos and oolong teas, and a few eo's. I also added AVG to the mix. I spray my bun about 3-4 times a day. My hair feels divine!

Has anyone noticed breakage when using AVJ or AVG as a final rinse?

@Jobwright.

YES! I can not use aloe at all. At least not in a leave-in product. Or it's break off and shed city :nono:. It's OK (for my hair) as an ingredient (not the only ingredient) in shampoos and rinse out condish. Otherwise, for a final rinse or in styling products it's a no-go for aloe.
 
Hey y'all! Long time no hear from! I missed you guys! Anywho I used all my joj up and need to order more. I ordered a tea spritz from njoi creations to spray in my braids I will be rocking for the next month or so. Will check in once I get it.
