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

A warning for anyone thinking of grinding Cloves for the first time: The residue is surprisingly hard to get off of plastic. I had to break out the scouring pad to get everything off.

I just turned the base of my Nutribullet milling blade green from powdering dried peppermint and I don't think it's coming off anytime soon.
 
DarkJoy I'm not sure if my hair is growing faster because I don't measure frequently. I will track my growth starting today and report back. I been using Fenugreek once a week for a month and noticed a difference right away. I use seeds to make a hair mask, KV oil for sealing and sometimes mixed in my LI and tea for my final rinse weekly.
 
Count me in...
The herbal leave-in spray I made this morning worked so well on my hair, it gave me confidence to finally come on in here. I look forward to learning more & experimenting lots!
Currently:
Acv, avg, Marshmallow root, black tea & French red clay. Thinking about going back to henna...

I was in the kitchen mixing today and made a Coffee DC that smells like a cup of coffee with a hint of cinnamon. I hope my hair likes it.

I also took some of the Shealoe and whipped it with some Horsetail Butter, Green Tea Butter and Nettle Oil. It was my first time making a whipped butter and it came out very creamy and fluffy.

That shealoe butter looks so fresh and devine! Where did you get the ingredients you listed?

I LOVE this HHJ!!

For the Water Phase I used a very strong brew of Dark Roast coffee. After the coffee brewed I poured it over some marshmallow root, slippery elm and fenugreek while it was still hot and let it steep overnight. For the Oil Phase I used Safflower oil that I infused with coffee twice, Cupuacu Butter, BTMS and Cetyl Alcohol. After it cooled, I added Optiphen Plus, Honeyquat, Silk Amino Acids and a fragrance oil.

I bought the Shealoe Butter from lotioncrafters. The Horsetail and Green Tea Butters came from Wholesale Supplies Plus. I made the Nettle Oil by infusing dried nettle leaf in Safflower oil in my window for a few months. I also do the double boiler and oven infusion methods to make oils.

You highlighted some of the ingredients I'm going to be using in my DC. It also looks like we have the same testing method for herbs... I hope to be done with the testing phase by summer so I can make my first batch. You are already a pro though, so don't be suprised if I spam your inbox for advice :lol:

Once I learn how to make soap I'm done buying from anybody but my suppliers. If we didn't have a dog I would be growing my own herbs too.

I started doing this because I love to learn and craft plus I have to be really conscious about what I touch with my hands because of my eczema. It's so much easier to make my own things so I can know exactly what's going on my body. I also made a Facial Toner, Body Lotion, Tooth Powder and a Healing Balm today but I didn't take any pictures.

Thanks :blush:

You've inspired me! I have some dried nettle and lavender I can infuse with safflower oil :lightbulb: I priced the nettle oil a long time ago and it was too high. My hair likes both herbs in tea rinses so why not?

I LOVE this HHJ!!

When I run out of the Green Tea and Horsetail Butters I plan to make my own using ButterEZ from lotioncrafters and infused oils. I love that we have so many options for making our own products!
 
I mixed my fenugreek mix with Organicals Follicle Stimulating Conditioner and put in a little hazelnut. I sat under the dryer for about 40 minutes but left it on for longer than an hour. My hair felt nice after I rinsed. Next time I will probably only leave it on for about 45 minutes and see how that works.

I was proud of my little mixing until I read Ms. BranwenRosewood's mix :lol: She got stuff going on that I can only dream about :lol:
 
Doing a tea rinse for the first time in about 4 months today :blush::nono::nono:

My poor hair has been getting the bare minimum these days.

I actually have the weekend off, so I decided to pamper my tresses. I made two rinses - roobios/moringa/black tea and a marshmallow root/burdock root/blue malva/ irish moss tea that I will use to mix my rhassoul clay DC.

I will also be steaming today! :yay:
