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

I'm thinking of mixing my next henna with rose water and a splash of apple cider vinegar. Has anyone tried mixing their henna with rose water? I'm buying a 12 pack of Dulhan henna and a 12 pack of Jamila henna to do a 2:1 with Godrej Nupur Mehendi 9 herbs. Yes, I've been gone awhile but I'm back with a vengeance! ;-)
 
Preparing a fenugreek treatment for tomorrow. Was meaning to braid my hair this weekend but DD is with grandma so my hubby and I are having a two person house party instead. I'm pretty drunk.

Sent from my iPhone using LHCF
 
Used my tea spritz last night on my hair. I use it as part of the "L" in the LOC method. I still follow with a leave in but always use the spritz too.
 
The spot that I get herbs for my tea rinses is going out of business:cry: However, the good news is that I scored herbs "2 for the price of 1" I cleaned them out of my favourites:yep:

@Nix08

Very, Very Smart.:yep:

I know I'd be right back up in that piece at least 2-3 more times.:look:
 
:wave:

Still rinsing. Just in and out of deep protective styles.
The other day I took my install down, shampood, and put nettle snd catnip up under ao Rosa mosqueta for half an hour. Omg. My hair was sooooooft. Back up in ps again for another few weeks...
 
I'm going to incorporate an actual tea rinse in my routine in addition to my daily use of my tea spritz. Just gotta figure out where and when.
 
wash day was today - prepoo'd with TJs nourish, neem, castor and avo oils on damp hair. side note: I think I prefer prepoos on damp hair rather that dry like I've been doing for the past two years. side note 2: why did it take me 2 yrs to try damp prepoos instead of dry???
Anywho, Prepoo'd with heat for over an hour bc I was watching the brazil/germ match and was not moving from in front of the tv, ha!
did a very light diluted shampoo with giovanni and followed with gio's reconstructor and them followed that with kbb deep treat followed by a final rinse of catnip, burdock, rosemary and nettle. Found a new tube of the old redken smoothdown to use as a leave in and finished with 10 flat twists. oiled scalp and ends with castor oil.
 
anyone here have summertime shedding? Strong brewed rosemary used to work, but I think its losing its effectiveness. Will give the coffee rinse thing a try. Thinking of the coldbrewed coffee...
 
Tonight Used: The Pomade Shop's Coffee Pomade w/o Sulfur tonight.

Tomorrow: Will do a couple Coffee Rinses with Costa Rican Dark Roast

If I had to pinpoint my Shedding -- it would be (unfortunately) in the late Winter/early Spring.

Hopefully Coffee and/or some Black or Green Tea will help you combat it.
 
Thanks Ms.T for your response. Blk tea never worked, but I don't think I've ever tried green tea. I will alternate between green tea and coffee rinses under a dc and still use catnip/rosemary/burdock/nettle as a final.
 
Wenbev I haven't read all of your posts regarding your shedding but have you allowed the tea to sit on your head for a long while? So, using it as a dc as oppose to a rinse. I notice a marked difference in shedding when I use tea as part of a dc than a rinse.
 
My head was itching so bad and was funky as it usually does after a week with an install of crochet braids. I knew tulsi would hit the spot. I steeped fresh rosemary and fresh basil overnight then added 2tbs tulsi powder in the morning. Poured directly over my scalp and massaged, enjoying the tingle. Rinsed, dilute shampoo using sm coconut hibiscus. I sealed after. She feels amazing!
 
@ronie

I know. It makes me want a cup too. :nono:

And I'm just a 'Social' Coffee Drinker. Like if I'm out and people order Coffee....I'll order one (just to be Social).

But then by the time I add Cream, Sugar etc....it doesn't even resemble Coffee.:lol:

And I'll usually take a few sips and Done.:lol:
 
Nix08 and Idaretshair This is how I currently do my tea rinse... I find the best place to rinse is over the tub. Ill use a small pitcher to pour over my head and my stained henna bowl to catch the runoff. I'll catch and pour several times initially pouring directly onto my scalp and once satisfied my entire scalp has been rinsed with tea, I'll then move to sections of hair to make certain the actual hair has been rinsed with tea. I'll then stay inverted over the tub whilst the hair is actively dripping probably a minute while I rinse out the tub, clean bowl, etc. Then I'll tshirt dry for about 10-15 min to catch whatever excess drips.
Maybe I'll do the plastic baggie instead of the tshirt first...
