Coffee,Tea,ACV,AVJ & Ayurvedic Challenge 2013

I saw tulsi juice in an Indian grocery store. I always tell myself when I'm in curry town, I'm gonna stop in this one store that I know has to sell everything. Maybe Friday I will get the courage to really go in.

brewing tea whilst prepooing, but its still to warm to rinse with. Will forgo the tea rinse tonight and use vatika almond, olive and henna oil cream deep condish instead with heat for 30 min.

What is this "henna oil cream deep condish" you speak of??? Do tell, please ;)

I LOVE this HHJ!!
 
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.

Ooo!! The rosewater sounds yummy!! You may not need to freeze that one...it may stay preserved on its own.

I saw a vid on YT on making rosewater. Were the petals really expensive?? I always wanted to make some but I still have some I ordered from vitacost. Let us know how you like it

I LOVE this HHJ!!

I hadn't thought about it staying preserved on its own. I actually bought preservative. Maybe I should use it :look: I will use a preservative just in case.

I didn't buy the petals. Someone sent flowers for Mother's Day and I just plucked the petals off and froze them. I'm not sure that's what they use to make rosewater but that's what I'm going to use :lol:

My hair doesn't get super excited about stuff, so it may be a minute before I have a real update.

Unless the roses were organic or for food use, I would be hesitant to use them for my hair. They use lots of pesticides on roses/cut flowers.

I would buy some dried, food grade rose petals to be safe.

I can't see any mentions on my IPhone. PM me if it is a must see. Allons y

Thanks. I hadn't thought of that. I will keep that in mind for the future. This time around I will just soak them in the fruit and vegetable soak and go from there.
 
I bought some AV Juice (Vitacost).

I will try it as a Final Rinse (right before my Tea Leave-In).

It seems like you are suppose to leave it in.

I want to see how this compares to doing an ACV Rinse. So, we'll see.
 
careful with that aloe @IDareT'sHair

that mess turns my hair to straw and makes it break off for weeks after application and even clarifying it out :nono: have the moisture DC ready just in case!

I have used the juice and the gel on small sections the same way I would apply a moisturizer or oil to my hair. Not sure about using it as a rinse, though

I LOVE this HHJ!!

Thanks for the warning Ms. D.Joy. And it would be my luck that it has already Shipped?:nono:

That sucks. I can't take any chances. Don't need any set-backs.:ohwell:

I don't think Imma mess with it. If I do, I'll rinse it out. :rolleyes:

And I would hafta buy 32 ounces.........:rolleyes:

How were you using it?

Oh nooooo! LOL. Well just try it on a section and see what's what. Most people's hair here loves it. Only mine is the anti-aloe unicorn...:lol: I tried it in DC and in tea. Both were no bueno--and I didnt leave it in as a final rinse either. I cant imagine the devastation if I had!

AVJ is excellent for your insides, though. You can drink it--add it to juice, smoothies, etc too. I love drinking aloe juice. Helps my old joints (arthritis) when I remember to take it @IDareT'sHair.

Im like you. My hair hates aloe i avoid it like the plague unless its in a protein treatment. Aloe makes my hair so dry and crunchy.
 
Glad I'm not alone Beamodel! I've tried it direct and in DC, also in products like the SM CES and other products and my hair just broke off before my eyes. :nono: Every. Single. Time.

It seems to be OK with the AO Swimmers Shampoo but I suppose thats because the soap is inhibiting it from absorbing into the strand. Aint trying nothing else with aloe tho. heck no!
 
DarkJoy

I can use SMCEM only on my new growth. But nooooo mam aloe is a HUGE problem for me. Most of Komoza stuff I can't use bc of the high aloe content. The only DC I love that has it midway in the list is JessiCurl DT. But any other product, u can forget it.
 
You know...I have been having some serious dryness lately, could figure out what the problem was until I narrowed it down to the AVJ final rinse. I have since stopped but STILL, AFTER ABOUT 3 WEEKS, been dealing with dry hair. Maybe I need to do an overnight AOHSR...

Most ppl hair react well and thrive on aloe. They say it moisturizes their hair but for some of us it has an adverse reaction and dries our hair out. I say all that to say it might work for u. But for me it simply doesn't.
