Coffee,Tea,ACV,AVJ & Ayurvedic Challenge 2013

Just brewed a gallon batch of the basic blend (oolong, burdock, nettle) to which (as I pour some off each use) will add special guests and oils for tea/oil rinsing as my hair needs each wash day. In the main batch I'll include some rosemary EO and artifical scented oils (my hair hates most EOs I've tried) as preservatives for fridge storage.

Currently sitting in the homemade amla and fenugreek oil pre-poo since yesterday. Can I say that I have been pulling and rubbing in it all morning to detangle and have seen ZERO ZILCH NADA breaks or hair fall on this bone dry hair?!?!

Brewing some fenugreek tea for tonight's DC. I love the smell (syrup) and I love how my hair isn't shedding and it feels soft yet strong with this tea.
 
I rinsed with green tea, roobis mix and marshmallow. I think I will make up batches of tea and freeze them in ice cube trays. That way I can just put different ice cubes together to make a blend. I think this will work well for my loose teas.
 
Good evening ladies! I went to visit a church tonight. It was a new location that the church had moved into. A relative of mine was speaking. He is a pretty good preacher. I got in there and service started. There was worship service. I am singing along and here comes a bun. Am I in church for God or hair? The ladies bun looks good so I told her so. She was happy to hear it. Another bun comes in. It was sort of floppy but lovely. Of course it was her own hair. She sat behind me. Darn. Another lady with a lovely sleek bun comes in and sits right in front of me. It was a stick on but so laid...I was set. I got the word and my drool on!:drool:

You are funny! You sound like you're in a good place in spite of the loss of your father.

OASN, since joining this forum and watching YT videos, I'm always staring at somebody's hair in church, at the mall, in the grocery store, everywhere. Lol!
 
God has been great! I have a few tears here and there but I served and took care of my parents for three years. We had a lovely time and my father has finished his service to our family.:yep:
 
I don't think I made my marshmallow tea strong enough. I will make another batch today in the crock pot and increase the amount of tea.
 
I did an overnight with Keravada Coffee and Hibiscus Oils.

Did a rinse with Njoi Conditioning Tea rinse

Sealing with Kahve Oil
 
I wasn't able to wash my hair since Tuesday since I left my tea/coffee/coconut milk out and it spoiled. Although I kept forgetting to brew a new batch I refused to cowash without it.
I made a new batch today but didn't let it steep for nearly as long as I normally do. It's a little less moisturizing but better than nothing.

Did a rinse today and making a fenugreek and hibiscus infused rbo.
 
Hey everyone, been awhile. Not working from home anymore, so trying to find time to log in and keep up with the posts have been super hard!
I haven't had an opportunity to cowash 2-3x/week like I did in the past, so now I dc with tea under and use tea as a final rinse.
 
Hello Ladies! I went to service, They were having a 25th pastoral anniversary so I wanted to sit back some and look at the hairdos. They were pretty good. The message was nice. I am going to brew some tea tonight. I really want to wash my hair even if I wear a wig to the funeral. I am just getting in. I am going to put together a quick dinner and get ready to do my hair. I am going to take out my anita grant cube and add some water and coconut milk. I will do a spa evening even if I can not do a long one.:yep:
 
So there I was, innocently cleaning out my fridge this afternoon. 'lo and behold I find some (not-so) fresh mint, rosemary and sage. :look: :look: :rolleyes:

Needless to say, impromptu wash-day :yay:!!!. Gonna mix up shikakai, amla, tulsi paste with that infusion that's cooking up now.

Then I will use the Vatika Egg Mask Reconstructor with indigo mixed in on top of a regular hot oil rinse (sesame, almond, grapeseed).

Final rinse with the leftover not-so-fresh tea infusion plus some of the gallon of oolong, burdock and nettle stored in the fridge with ACV.
 
Hey everyone,

Its been a while for me too. Im warming up my tea and coconut milk rinse in a pan of hot water. I had it in the freezer for a week then left it on the counter today to thaw then put it back in the fridge for fear of spoiling. I think what saved me is I put in way too much ylang ylang and clary sage EO so it seems preserved...as far as I can tell. Im using it anyway :look:

I had to look back to see what the rinse contains :spinning: its brahmi, amla, oolong and bhringraj tea. After rinsing on dry, dirty hair I will add AOGPB and sit under the dryer for an hour then shampoo, tea rinse again and use a rinse out conditioner.

I LOVE this HHJ!!
 
Brewed some nettle and chamomile tea last night it smelled so good I was tempted to drink it with some honey! I used it as a final rinse after cowashing last night.
 
That mint, sage, and rosemary infusion was the bomb.com. I accidentally made too much of it and used it as my final rinse with ACV as well as under the protein reconstructor DC.

shooooot. my hair was sooooo soft even after having a reconstructor in there for an hour by accident. I just knew I was gonna have to hit it with another hour of moisture DC. But nope! AND my flatiron came out nice and smooth! Woohoo!
 
Steeping a Pot of Saw Palmetto.:yep:

Lately, I've been using x1 at a time (instead of doing an everything but the kitchen sink blend).

This lets me closely monitor what individual blends are doing for my hair.

Thinking about adding AVJ to my Regimen in 2014 to rotate with the ACV Rinse.

Still reading up/researching that one.:yep:

I filled my ice tray up with the marshmallow root tea. That way it will be ready when I am. I have a bag full of rose petals. I will start making rosewater tomorrow and make ice cubes from that as well.
