Coffee,Tea,ACV,AVJ & Ayurvedic Challenge 2013

About to make my fenugreek, marshmallow, slippery elm, Rooibos mix now for tomorrow's wash day. Hopefully this will bring my hair back to life and strength. I've been experiencing some breakage and I do not like it.
 
I will head to whole foods next week. I have to snap up some coconut milk, olive and wheat germ oils and darn it some grapeseed oil. It is going to be an oily Thanksgiving:flyingwit
 
mshoneyfly what proportion of henna powder to hibiscus should I use? Previously, I used Nupur, but I want to try this 100 gram box of Jamilia I have, so I don't have to go buy more henna and so I can compare the two. I have 8 oz. of hibiscus powder.
 
Ok ladies I'm fairly new to the tea game for hair (stick to basic stuff, no advanced concoctions like some of you ladies) but as I sit here adding honey to my hot cup of drinking tea, I was wondering if any of you ladies add honey to your tea mixtures? Do you think the honey would have the same properties as if adding it to conditioner?

Always goes back to the hair. :ohwell:

Thanks

MileHighDiva Sorry so late with the response. I have a terrible cold :( I have been using Jamilla too lately. I use 5 tbsp of henna to 2-3 tbsp of hibiscus. If you're doing the entire 100 grams, thats about 3.5 ounces. So 2 ounces of hibiscus should be enough. Remember, hibiscus is acidic on its own so you may not need much of anything else acidic. I just add a few drops of lemon juice and the dye releases pretty quickly

OAN: finally bought some cans of coconut milk but forgot to use it tonight. I am DCing with the Nubian Heritage EVOO & Moringa masque. I will tea rinse with coconut milk added later in the week.

I LOVE this HHJ!!

I'm so jealous of this coconut milk. Maybe I'll try actual coconut milk and see how that works.

Last night after applying Cassia to my hair, I tried an ACV rinse for the first time. I hope I mixed it right. I didnt have an applicator bottle so I filled an old spaghetti jar that I had on hand with one capful of ACV and the rest with distilled water. (Is that a decent proportion?) Then as my final rinse, I poured it over head......

....umm, then the chicken in me came out because I smelled the vinegar so strongly that I rinsed my hair under cold water for a few seconds thereafter. I was worried that maybe the capful was too much and kept remembering how many of you say never to put too much in your hair. I hope that was considered a successful ACV rinse. :perplexed I'll try again next time.

IDareT'sHair, yes, we are on the same exact schedule. Also, I wanted to tell you I ordered the Kizuri Beauty Olive and Shea Moisture Butter and it is the bomb.com. Since we are approaching the cold weather I am upping my moisture game and doing the LCOB. This is my "B" and it leaves my hair so moisturized for a long period of time. Thanks again for the recommendation.
 
Dc'ing with ayurvedic oils on my scalp, biolage-matrix aqua immersion dc, and a Shea/rice bran oil blend I'm my hair with high steam for 30 minutes.

Will tea/coffee/coconut milk rinse after my cowash.

Currently making a fenugreek paste, fenugreek oil and more of my ayurvedic oil blend.

Plan to make a 'but the kitchen sink' tea brew I'm a while.
