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

Steeping tea (Peppermint, Horsetail, Nettle, Burdock, Marshmallow Root) for my cowash day this week. Feels good to be getting back to my normal hair schedule.
 
After prepooing (safflower oil) and cowashing (VO5), I am now sitting under the bonnet DCing my hair with a homemade mix.

Will do ACV rinse afterward and then either twist+band or braid to dry.

So my first try with mixing amla, bhringraj, aritha left my hair a little on the dry side. So today I'm deep conditioning with amla, hibiscus powder and bhringraj mixed with cholesterol and avocado oil. I will leave in for an hour while I workout. Fingers crossed!
 
did a prepoo on friday with my homeade peppermint/coconut oil and some ssi avocado condish. The weather has been in the 90s all week so this was a wonderful cooling prepoo thanks to the mint. Wouldnt use peppermint if the weather is cool though as you could end up with a cold.
Washed out with ssi blueberry cowash, Dc'd with tj's nourish (old formula) and tea rinsed with a catnip, hibiscus and burdock blend.
 
I use Fenugreek each time I wash (capsules). I\m using it because I heard it keeps grey's from growing back. I use henna for the color. Apparently, it conditions as well. I'll use henna every 4 shampoos.

Can someone Please tell me if there's another purpose for fenugreeks besides preventing greys. When I massaged it in my hair, it felt slippery. You can PM me.
 
Tea rinsed with marsh root, burdock root and slippery elm. One day I will venture outside of my norm but I'm not quite ready right now.
 
I have been using my AVJ/eo mix in the evening and I added the green tea and have been using it for the past two days in the morning. I'm applying both directly to the scalp with an applicator bottle. I will cowash tom. to see if my extreme shedding has slowed. If i continue to shed like I have been the last 2 washes I will be bald by the end of May.:nono:

I may put a bit of sage in the rest of my catnip tea just for fun. Hopefully I will use it up this week. It lasted quite well.
 
Using: b.a.s.k. Beauty's Apple Sorghum Pre-Rx overnight.

May also use b.a.sk. YAM Nectar = Yucca, Avocado & Meadowfoam.

Will Steep Rosemary Leaf Tea for tomorrow.
 
I spritzed my hair with the diluted marshmallow balm and sage mix from last week. Let's see how my dry hair likes it.

Spritzed my hair last night and this morning with the diluted marshmallow balm with sage. So far so good. With the adjusted ph my hair isn't frizzing. It was pretty dry so I will spritz it tonight and tomorrow morning and take it down tomorrow night. That will give me a good indication if it is moisturizing enough. If so I will make up a large jar of it to have on hand.
 
My shedding decreased a lot from just the few days of using the green tea and AVJ. However it is still more than I would like. My scalp has been super itchy though. Maybe it's from the EO's? I see y'all have been brewing sage and rosemary so I will be brewing some to add to the AVJ.
