That's was a revelation from last year:giggle: This morning I was kicking myself for not including them in my fenugreek paste that I made this morning.

I want those two. I wonder if whole foods sell them.

My friend bought me the slippery elm and it came in powder form. Ive used it twice and have noticed that it makes the teas and coffee make a gel in the end, so its a little harder to strain it since my french press was dirty and I was that lazy to clean it. The MR is good, but with the slippery elm, my hair gets softer and is SUPER easy to separate and apply conditioner.

I will NEVA EVA be without these 2 teas. They are added to my list of teas I will never stop using and only Burdock Root was on the list :spinning:
 
Did a dc with my Ayurvedic conditioner after saturating my scalp with my oil infusion and coating my hair in coconut oil. Banded my hair for stretch after washing my scalp and rinsing everything out. Hair felt soft while banding :-)
 
Dc'ing with my fenugreek paste:
1/4 cup fenugreek powder, 3tbsp hibiscus, bhringaraj powder, 1tsp rose powder, 1/4 cup coconut powder with bit water and grapeseed oil well blended.
 
Just changed my water filter. THe water here is HARD and it's showing in my hair. So going to chelate with the AOs swimmers shampoo. She hates that so will pamper her with:

1. Pre-poo with keravada oil (heavily to offset shampoo stripping)
2. shikakai, tulsi,and amla powders mixed with ginger and garlic water
3. very warm tea and oil rinse: burdock, nettle, oolong + grapeseed, almond, evoo
4. long moisutre DC of AO rose mosqueta + indigo on top of #3
5. rinse of rooibos and ACV

Do to the drastic weather change,just oiled my scalp with the anti-shedder-Mahahagraj oil.

Happy Hair Growing!
 
Hey Smiley79, I suspect that ACV rinse went ok?

Depending on how porous my hair is feeling, I'll put maybe half a cap for less porous feeling hair to a full cap for very porous feelig hair in a 16oz cup of distilled water or tea,

Thank you. I'm new to using teas. I did not like black tea though. It made my hair seriously hard.
 
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:
Making the oil now. Decided on making a mix of fenugreek and amla oil in a coconut oil base. It sho is stinky! But hopefully, will make a nice pre-poo. :drunk:

Added 1/2 can coconut milk to my warmed tea/oil mix from the fridge. Put the other 1/2 in my henna-hibiscus mix. Used an old Lottabody bottle to squeeze out the tea, applied henna mix. I might let this sit o/n. I plan to rollerset tomorrow

I LOVE this HHJ!!
 
Dropped two green tea bags in a mug of hot water, then added 2 of the tea ice cubes from the fridge in it. I can't remember what is in the ice cubes :ohwell: Did a tea rinse after rinsing out my protein treatment. It didn't soften my hair but I think it does smooth my cuticle. I think I will use up the green tea and the ice cubes before I move on to other teas.
 
DC with Fenugreek tea under SD RCA. 1st time trying this tea. I will also do a final rinse with the tea adding some KV Fenugreek oil mixed in it.

I ordered the following teas:
Slippery elm
Burdock root
Marshmallow root
Fenugreek

Iherb, they had a $5 off coupon and free shipping over $20. I was gonna get it from vita cost bc they have BOGO on some teas right now but I wanted to see how I feel about these teas first.

I have eight bantu knots full of henna under two shower caps and a Wally World bag. I'll rinse out and DC in the late afternoon.

Left overs are already in the freezer for the next henna session.
 
I Iike how the fenugreek tea smells. Like maple syrup. My hair feels good after using it.

My iherb order shipped (already). I just purchased it last night.

I'm glad you liked that smell. I wanted to gag. I used to have a friend whose house smelled like that, so I never went over often.
