Nix08, Hi :)
So whats your process now that you've added the CM? I plan to mix it into my next henna treatment but how else are you using it? Are you still oil rinsing this summer? Where does that go in your process?? Like what are your steps (including the tea rinse).
 
:wave: Hi @mshoneyfly
I haven't been managing to cowash daily (I just can't stay awake long enough for my hair to dry enough). I still cowash often and when I can I will dry DC first then jump in the shower and rinse out the DC. Squeeze out excess water then pour my rinse mix. That mix includes....1 ounce of coffee, 1 ounce of coconut milk and about 2-3 ounces of my tea. Squeeze out the excess then apply one small squirt of oil then a small squeeze of conditioner while I shower up. So yes, I still oil rinse during the summer:yep: Even with extensive rinsing (because I make several vertical parts with my fingers and allow the water to keep my ng detangled) my hair still feels moisturized. So that's why I haven't been doing the final rinse. Hopefully all of that made sense:look:

Made a new brew for my rinse. SInce I use the coconut milk as well, I no longer need a final leave in rinse but I still want the goodness of the teas that I was using. So for this brew (24hrs) I've used:"
Bhringaraj,
Burdock
Fenugreek
Hibiscus
Lemongrass
Marshmallow root
Moringa
Nettle
Rose petals
Rosehip
Rosemary
Saw Palmetto
and Slippery elm.
We'll see how it goes.

Thanks Girl,

Co signing. Oil rinsing is THA BOMB. I actually mix a LOT of oil in my tea rinses (2 birds with one stone) and my hair has been in love ever since.
 
Mixing up some henna for tomorrow. This time I will add indigo to get a dark brown color to match my weave (getting a full sew-in on Saturday). I wanna make sure the grays on my hairline are on point!

I still have some moringa, fenugreek,lavender, black tea mix. Im gonna add some rooibos, amla oil and a little acv to my warmed up tea ummm... :lick:
 
Using tea under my DC tonight. I'm using CC's Naturals Marshmallow and Burdock Root Hair Tea. Hopefully its half a good as Claudie's. If not I'm buying 3 bottles of the Claudie's Hair Tea Spritz and going on about my business :yep:.
 
EnExitStageLeft

I didn't know CC's had a pre-mixed Tea. Keep me posted on that.

I have a pre-mix by Shi-Naturals, but I think it might be bad. (I've had it a while).

Someone posted a pic of their's a while back and it had black spots throughout it. I haven't looked at mine, but even though it has been refrigerated, it will probably be and should be trashed.
 
IDareT'sHair

Yeah, its actually premix dry herbs (you have to steep them yourself). I'm not much of a mixtress (as you can see from my previous Tea Rinsing Fails) so I prefer something pre-blended.
 
Rozlewis, how do you like the Navratna Oil? I stumbled upon it like 6 years ago, but never purchased any since I have so many oils already. Some Indian seller on EBay said that Navratna Oil is tainted with mercury...but idk how true that is. I don't know where his evidence came from but he could've said it just to try and sell more of his own oils. I would like to try it but I have a lot of hair and them little 100mL bottles will not cut it.

OAN: will tea rinse with black tea, mint herb, and burdock root tea, then DC.
 
Brewing :
Green tea
Hibiscus flowers
Marshmallow roots
Fenugreek
Horsetail
Sage leaves
Kelp
Avj
For a final rinse and daily spiritz.
 
Hi Jewell, I just recently started using Navratna oil. I will have to do some research on it but I like how the oil makes my hair feel. I do not use much of it because first I coat my hair with Vatika oil and then the Navratna oil and last I coat it with aowc.
 
Will use my Herb/Flower Mixture with my Leave-In after Steaming with a Cup of Columbian Coffee under my Deep Conditioner.

Will also do an ACV Rinse with Hairveda.
