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

All is quiet on the home front. Just spritzing my hair 1x to 2x a day with a tea mist. I used it right out of the fridge today and was surprised it didn't bother me. That is good to know. Now I won't have any issues spritzing my hair. :yep:
 
Going to use my catnip/marshmallow root tea mix tonight. Oh yea!!! I love it, soft moisturized hair..
 
Used: The Pomade Shop's Coffee DC'er last night for the first time, with a Cup of Columbian Coffee underneath (and Steamed).

Will use this again on Friday.

Not sure what "Teas" I'll Steep. Maybe Burdock Root or Rosemary. Or maybe some Hibiscus?
 
Ok so for my tea spritz I decided to go with burdock, nettle, and saw palmetto for my first attempt. I mixed one cup of the tea with 3/4 cup of avj. Thinking of adding veg glycerin, rosemary eo, and bergamot for scent.

Outside the fridge it is going to go bad in about 4 days. In the fridge, it may make it 7 days. I will usually keep out what I can use, and freeze the rest if I make too much. The higher the ph and the warmer the temperture, the faster it goes bad. With a ph of 3, it will last 7 days outside of the fridge. A ph of 4 will last 4 days outside of the fridge.

My latest batch I added a preservative too it and put it in the fridge so I didn't have to worry about it. In the future I plan on blending my herbs and just making 6 oz at a time to prevent waste.

faithVA Thanks so much for the info! I just ordered 2 preservatives to add to my teas and butters but they haven't arrived yet. I'll put my mix in the fridge after I use it tonight.

Did a tea rinse with: oolong, fenugreek, burdock, rooibos, and black tea. Also added some peppermint oil, my scalp feels soo good.


I forgot to update this thread with my experience of the naturally amari fenugreek mask. I don't think it's for me. My hair felt nice after rinsing but those seeds were the devil trying to get out :nono: Will probably end up giving the mask to a friend. I'll be sticking to fenugreek tea.

Hmmph.:ohwell: Seems like a Pre-Made would have it ground up much finer for easy rinsing.

That N.A. stuff isn't cheap either:rolleyes:.

Thanks for the review.:yep:

Exactly! She could definitely grind the seeds into a powder (or just purchase the powder) to make it easier for customers. A nice smooth paste would have been perfect. Should have stuck with my instincts and passed on it.

I agree. I made my own mask with the powder a d it's kinda aggravating getting those particles out of your hair. I'm sticking with the tea too.
 
So I decided to add rosemary eo to my tea spritz but I forgot how wide the opening was and poured a bit too much so the smell was uber strong! I tried to balance it with the bergamot but that just made a citrusy string rosemary smell. So I had no choice but to add 2 tbs of my scurl moisturizer to calm the smell and it worked. Next time I know to take it easy on the eo...oh well...trial and error.

I spritzed my hair and sealed with evco and will baggy overnight. I hope I get good results but if not I will cowash tomorrow and do a tea rinse as a final then remake my leave in spritz.
 
Cowashed and final rinsed with catnip last night. My hair felt super soft and far less tangled than usual. I will continue to test the catnip alone as a rinse. This morning my twist out was very defined and soft without the aid of many products. So far so good. :)
 
Steeping my blend of horsetail, nettle, marshmallow root, nettle, peppermint and rooibos tea for wash day.
 
So my tea spritz came out decent...hair was moisturized and roots were soft. My hair felt strong after it dried luckily. I spritzed it this a.m and sealed with evco. Will baggy for 6 hrs.
 
I just did a tea rinse with shi naturals herbal tea rinse. I added Darcy's watermelon seed oil before applying the rinse. I left it on about an hour and a half. My hair came out super soft!!
 
Did a Blueberry Leaf Tea Rinse in-between Co-Cleansing & Reconstructing.

Will do a Columbian Coffee Rinse & Steam with The Pomade Shop's Coffee DC'er

Finish up with HV's ACV Rinse as my Final Rinse
