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

Golden75

I think it's the Slippery Elm. I'm not sure about the Marshmallow Root. I thought it 'did' when I used it.

But it could have been something else that was in my blend.:look:

I hope I find those Tea Bags. But I think I threw them out (by accident). :wallbash: *i think they're gone*

I have another box of Marshmallow Tea coming since I lost a practically new batch.

I know I had about 20 bags left it there.:nono:
 
Golden75

I have no clue where it is.:ohwell:

I tore my kitchen up over the weekend looking for it. No Luck.:blush:

I know I was trying not to use it so often because it's so durn expensive.

I ended up either misplacing it or it got thrown out with some other stuff.:perplexed

Who knows????? It may turn up (after the box I just ordered arrives).:rolleyes:
 
Sprayed some SM coconut and hibiscus moisture mix (I forgot how much yummy ingredients this mist has) then sealed with evco and will baggy overnight.
 
I went to a salon on island that specializes in natural hair to get my hair done for a formal event tomorrow. So next week I will try that slippery elm tea I found in the cabinet and get some others from the health food & grocery stores.
I found an eBay seller that has Jamila at a nice price, I haven't been able to find it on island. I'm ordering it 3 at a time and plan to do henna at 2-3 week intervals. I also ran across Curly Nikki's abbreviated henna routine. I will mix, freeze, and defrost my henna for dye release, apply to my hair and apply heat. Leave it in for 4 hours then move on to washing it out and deep conditioning.
I got complemented on my hennaed hair several times by people who know what henna is! =P
So excited!!!
 
It's Ayurveda Night!

I'm currently pre-pooing with Dabur Vatika Oil. When Dateline goes off, I'll do the following:

+Clarify/chelate with New Era Neutralizing poo.

+Apply henna mix. Experimenting with coconut milk in lieu of Red Zinger tea.

+DC with SD Shea What! Deux

+Signature braid out with QB CTDG, QB AOHC mixed w/ QB Honey Balm, and GSO for my LCO combo. I can't recall all of the Ayurvedic ingredients in QB beyond alma, but it's full of goodies. Too lazy to go look right now. I need my rest for my pending hair session :look:

I'm excited to try the QB AOHC, because it's :cold: I want to see if it lives up to the great for winter hype, :yep:

I am trying out my new Natural Oasis products for the first time tonight. They fit well into this challenge. The shampoo is a blend of ACV and herbs, the detangling balm also has herbs and the setting balm is fruit, herbs and flowers.
 
Just picked up some more Marshmallow root to steep for my herbal spritz this weekend. I also got some nettle... I'm not sure exactly how I will use it yet or what it's benefits are. Will be doing research soon!

Oiled my scalp with Natural Oasis Herbal Hair and Scalp and then spritz with NO Fruit, Herbs and Flowers Setting Lotion and baggied.
 
Steeping licorice root tea to add to a concoction I had in the freezer. I know it has some horsetail powder in it and I can smell the ylang ylang EO.

ETA: My notes say irish moss, lavender, nettle and basil teas. Will poo, henna, rinse, tea rinse, DC and roller set tomorrow.

I LOVE this HHJ!!
 
Brewed slippery elm & marshmallow root tea yesterday. Applied tea to scalp and hair & dc on top.

Will do ACV rinse.

@IDareT'sHair - I didn't realize it would be a powder. Or it could be marshmellow. Does marsh have a lot of mucilage?

They both have a lot of mucilage.
 
Today doing a repeat of last week I think:look:
marshmallow,oatstraw,hibiscus,rosehip,saw palmetto,catnip,fennel,nettle,horsetail.
 
Steeping green tea and hibiscus. I will add this and acv to a spray bottle and spray my scalp after I shampoo my hair.
 
Yesterday I steeped one bag each of each over night: green tea, black tea, nettle, Fenugreek and saw palmetto berries. I did a tea rinse and put my DC directly on top of that for about 30 minutes. I'm needing to keep every possible hair on my scalp and ends because I'm planning to cut 1-2 inches off in March.

I shampooe with a bentonite clay shampoo bar, sprayed my scalp and hair with ACV, green tea and hibiscus, conditioned with fenugreek that I added to my condish and applied my homemade leave in.

My hair feels nice and loved.
 
Tomorrow I will cowash my twists and pour red rooibos over my scalp before sealing them with a butter.
 
Henna day today, about to wash it out. Will dc with a moisturizing condish and rinse with leftover horsetail/black/nettle tea.
Saving catnip to use on its own when I cowash this wednesday or thursday
 
Tried an oil rinse for the first time Sunday. I really like the diff in my hair. It seems...stronger? Def more balanced.

Used a shikakai oil (with some other Ayurvedic herbs) layered under my tea-coconut milk rinse then a mix of moisture conditioners. It was awesome!

I LOVE this HHJ!!
 
My herbs came yesterday! So excited to try them. And forget all the trash I talked about mountainrose herbs bc I loved their packaging and info inserts, and the fact the herbs are organic.

Thinking of doing a catnip/marshmallow rinse to use when I cowash my twists. I just need to figure out a leave in spray recipe.
