Coffee,Tea,ACV,AVJ,Ayurvedic&Powders Challenge 2014

been slap lazy since I did my henna treatment/twist on 1-10-14.. just been spraying w/Njoi herbal tea spritz.. I am still drinking Bamboo Tea...
 
Think I'm putting away this hairveda hydrasilica spritz until it warms up. It seems a little too light for this harsh winter air.


Remade my AVJ spray. I didn't measure but it's been diluted with water (maybe 1 part AVJ, 2 parts water) and a generous amount of EVOO. Plan to use this daily.

Im using catnip for the first time. I have it steeping right now. I plan to rinse over dry hair tonight that was hennaed and cowashed on Saturday. Wanna see these conditioning properties in action. Need to rinse and make another bun for tomorrow so not using any other conditioner.

Is this your first time using catnip?? If not, what has been your experience? How did your hair like it?

I LOVE this HHJ!!
 
veesweets I have Annabelle's Hair Tonic I'll be using soon.

Also, Afroveda's Moringa & Ginseng Spritz. I have both ST'icals, and will also be rotating them.

I have SSI's Tahitian Mist. Which sounds like it might be lightweight like HV's Hydrasilica.

IDareT'sHair I have the Annabelle's tonic and SSI tahitian on my "want to try" list. Also the Claudie's hair tea spritz. I wasn't interested in sprays/spritz when I was relaxed so I'm just now starting to really look at them.
 
Not certain if I'll use fenugreek again. It made my hair feel weird as if i used too much of a protein treatment. I co washed four times and still my hair felt weird. I just twisted and will see what happens in the morning.

I finally put the henna in tonight. I added coconut milk and lavender eo to the original coconut milk mix. Yes, I procrastinated. Each night that I was ready, something came up, last night it was a ballet recital for my niece that slipped my mind, the nights before, too tired.
Applied it to freshly shampooed and clarified damp hair. The mix was thick, thicker than I usually use. Application was basically mess free! Each time I do it I get better at it. :). Did my stubborn patch of silver and front airline first, then moved from the back to the front in sections. I asked my DH to to wrap my head in Saran wrap very tight, put on 2 plastic caps, a lightweight turban, and 2 beanies to keep my head warm.
Now I'm in bed with a brown towel covering my pillow and reading until I fall asleep....

How did I miss that? My hair loves this as well. It is my favorite leave-in. It has a lot of stuff my hair likes in it.
 
I pulled the marshmallow, burdock root and rose ice cubes from the freezer. Going to add it to the tea batch I made a few weeks ago. I will be adding marshmallow balm to the tea mix, with a little s-curl and some hazelnut oil for a spritz while my hair is in puffy twists. I will add some acv and a preservative to it to stabilize it. I have a lot so it will last me a while.

I won't be making a new batch of tea until I use up at least 50% of what I have already made.
 
Tried to be cute and go back to creamy leave in condish. Well the hair has spoken in her language of brittle and breaking hair. :-(. And it was only a weekend experiment!

Reluctantly brewing for two spritz bottles of homemade leave in. Both will contain the base of oolong, nettle and burdock to which I will add almond, sunflower, baobab, argan and broccoli seed oils. This base will be in one bottle as a daily leave in. The other bottle will contain silk peptides for after washing.

What leave-in did you use? And how did you first realize it was the leave-in?

Hey! I used the shea moisture restorative. It says it can used as a leave in. All leave ins had done this to me in the past tho and I just thought it was the texture of my hair. It just likes water or tea and heavy sealing. That's it. Gonna wash it tonight as it is dry breaking and that's no good.

It was the only new thing I did. The very reason why I don't try more than 2 new things at once to easily eliminate a problem.

What are you sealing with? Thank you in advance. You may have already told me but I don't remember.

Either one of my butters made with shea and cocoa or grease. I have been using that Mizani setting lotions for twist outs come to think of it. But that's been the last 3 weeks. Would it start the breakage now? :scratchchin:

Thanks you. Maybe you can try the setting lotions on just the front section to see if it acts differently.
