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

Just rinsed out my Hendigo Gloss. My hair isn't as dark as I wanted, but mannnnnnnn does it feel good.

Its seems to be a rich chocolatey brown, which is fine by me.

....I think we have a winner people.
 
Tea spray under SSI Okra Reconstructor. Under the dryer now but will wash out in about an hour and re-apply tea spray under moisturizing deep conditioner.
 
I spritzed on some Njoi tea and let it sit for a few and then put on my DC.
I also used some Claudie's Tea under my creamy leave in.
 
did not find fenugreek powder this weekend. Will have to hunt this ish down. But I did buy aveda's madder root condish to get my red back since henna is turning it burgundy.
 
I couldn't henna saturday so I'm doing it today. My mix is

75% Henna
25% Cassia
1tbsp Hibiscus Powder
1tbsp Honey Powder
2 tsp Irish Moss Powder
Strongly brewed Nettle tea
2tbsp Nettle infused Safflower oil
squirt of lemon juice

I'll apply it in an hour and leave it on overnight.

-home made fenugreek and amla oil pre-poo
-AO Blue camomile shampoo
-Vatika Egg Protein Mask
-Vatika Garlic Growth Mask (moisture DC)
-Red Rooibos + ACV Rinse (leave-in)

SN: I think this week I will try making henna oil. :yep:

Added 10 drops of Peppermint EO and I'm getting nice tingles. This is my first time feeling scalp tingles after using a product.

Is the Marshmallow a Tea or a Powder? It's an Herb right?

Everyone's been posting any Herbal concoction they're using.

So any Herbal or Ayurvedic Cream, Butter, Lotion (including Coffee & Tea Products) etc....can also be listed here.

Cool. Its a gel like substance but it does contain marshmallow extract and hibiscus. And the base is AVG.

Whats in the marshmallow balm spritz? Did you make it yourself?

I LOVE this HHJ!!

I bought it from Ingredients to Die For. Its a gel like moisturizer. I mixed it with water to make a spritz.

These are the ingredients: NCI: ORG Aloe barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice, EcoCert Propanediol (Corn), ORG Althaea officinalis (Marshmallow) Root Extract, EcoCert Trimethylglycine (Beet Sugar), EcoCert Gluconolactone, Panthenol (ProVitamin B5), ORG Cocos nucifera (Coconut) Nut Oil, Sclerotium (Mushroom) Gum, ORG Hibiscus rosa sinensis (Hibiscus) Leaf / Flower Extract, EcoCert Sodium Benzoate

Skimming through the ingredients you posted I saw a lot of good stuff:lick::

Marshmallow Root
AVJ
Beet Sugar
Hibiscus

Wonderful for this Thread! :yep:

I keep seeing Beet Sugar, Beet Root in various products...Hmmm:scratchch

*eyes can of beets pushed waaaayyy back in cabinet*:scratchch
 
I bet mixing beet juice with henna would make a really intense red. Probably more so than hibiscus.... Hmmm...

If you girls do try it, let us know your the Results.:grin:

I was looking at several products (mainly DC'ers or Hair Rx's) recently that had either Beet Sugar, Beet Root, Beet Juice.

I think in that Thread Beamodel posted "Beet" was listed as Beneficial.

Interesting.:yep:

Beet Sugar is supposed to be a humectant when it shows up in hair products.

Good info! Thank you. I may empty my 1 can of beets into a container and use it under a DC'er & steam.

OT: When copying a quote - You have to make sure you have all the Brackets in there or it won't post out right. example - [/QUOTE] This has to be there at the end, or it won't copy correctly.
 
I will give the beet and henna a try. Idk if it will even show up since my hair is jet from months of indigo.

Also,.be careful if using canned beets. Read the label for presetvatives. Who knows how those things will react with your hair
