:rofl: dont wanna bust your bubble but the thought occurred. If they're organic then it's cool...

if you have a juicer or a really good blender likea vitamix you can get a fresh beet and really go to town :lol:

I love Research.:bookworm:.....:brainy:

Very interesting about the strength of Asian Hair.......

Thank you so much for posting.

If I think of those products I'll post them too.

I think (off the top of my head) Camille Rose Algae DC'er has beet sugar.

And there was a few others. Maybe something by Hairveda & Afroveda. I'll look for them again.

Thanks for that article.

IngredientsToDieFor sells Vegemoist which is supposed to be derived from beet sugar (I think). I have some. I just have not used it it enough to say whether I have noticed the difference. I switched over to the marshmallow balm instead since it contained the vegemoist beet sugar.
 
Does it have to be the sugar? Can't I just smoosh a whole beet up real good in my vitamix and mix it with some DC or the henna? The beets got the beet sugar in it, right? Or is it some kinda super concentrated thing?

Real beets probably work better being ingested than put on your head :yep:

And the thing with the beet sugar is that you are supposed to use it over time to see the real results. I think the study I saw said people used it in their shampoo for 6 to 8 weeks. I am assuming they were caucasian and used the shampoo daily or every other day for 6 to 8 weeks.
 
I used my coffee conditioner after I rinsed out my henna yesterday and my hair :love: it! I left it on for 4 hours and after I rinsed it out I did LCB with my Aloe Spritz, Shi-Naturals Shea Butter Lotion and my Shealoe Mix. My hair is still feeling good this morning.
 
Added additional marshmallow balm to my spritz to see if I can get more slip. Haven't completely worked out the ratios. Will add a little more oil as well. I want to find a good spritz to use while in extensions.
 
Sunday did henna treatment w/Godrej Nupur Mehendi Powder 9 Herbs Blend I am so in love w/this stuff , seems to work way better for my hair than using the Jamila Henna, did hair in bantu knots using CC's Naturals Hibiscus Whipped Butter :)

@Imoan

Maybe I have Pumpkin Pie too (in this).

I got x3 things (x2 were in Sweet Potato Pie & x1 was in Pumpkin Pie).

Flax Seed Butter
Horsetail Creme
Hibiscus Butter

Not sure which smells like which?:spinning:

I do love the Hibiscus Leave-In Conditioner. I am on my 2nd bottle.

I had a 4oz & now I'm using the 8oz. Not sure of the scent?

I forgot what I ordered?:blush: It kinda smells like Chocolate?

I hear the Rice Milk Hair Lotion is Excellent. It's on my list to buy/try next.:yep:

Thanks for telling me to go 'lightly' with it.
 
Using Jamila henna for the first time! Mixed it with warm coconut water to thick paste consistency with a plastic spoon in glass four cup measuring cup. Putting it to sit for 6-7 hrs, then I will add lavender essential oil and coconut milk right before applying it to my hair. Will sleep in it tonight and washout sometime tomorrow. It was extremely creamy to mix. My first time using coconut water as well. I normally use Godrej Nupur Mehendi 9 Herbs mixed with chamomile citrus or Red Zinger tea. Can't wait to see the difference between them color and washout!!!
 
Got fresh ginger and fresh burdock marinating for tomorrows under DC TOR treatment. lol. The oils will be ceramides. Then rooibos, oolong and acv for final leave in

Cowashed last night with ssi cowash blueberry. I used it once but didnt leave in for long and didnt like the results. This time I left it in for the 15 min and wow, my hair is nice! Didnt do another condish, just rinsed with the nettle, rosemary and burdock tea (thanks again DarkJoy), used ssi coco leave in, the carrot& pumpkin oil from ssi and a small amt of ssi buttercream frosting. Detangling was awesome amd instrad of two cotton balls of shed hair, I had only one ball. Lol. Will keep this tea in heavy rotation for the rest of the month to see if this shedding sorts itself out.
 
Does Brahmi make you shed excessively? I used to use the oil as a prepoo growth aide. I finished the jar but it had me shedding like a cat. I have a large bag of the herb and some powder. I mixed some powder with my fenugreek paste and I noticed the shedding again! Luckily, keratin conditioner, LI and moisturizer have helped this week.

OAN: Im mixing my henna right now. Sunday will be exactly two weeks since my last henna gloss. I texturized last week so I wanna get in another one on freshly texturized hair. I really like how ir turned out another time with coconut water, conditioner and oils so thats what I'll use today.

I LOVE this HHJ!!
 
I'm trying something new tonight. After I applied my leave-in which is a ph of 7, I spritzed my hair with Duafe ACV mist which is a ph of 4 to 4.5 to see if I need to adjust the ph of my hair after applying my leave-in. We will see. I applied hazelnut oil and then spritzed with marshmallow balm mist which is also a ph of 4.

I used brhami powder almost weekly and it does not make me shed excessively, it has actually help to reduce my shedding just slightly.
 
Tea rinsed with oolong, burdock, fenugreek, and rooibos.
DC'ed with raw honey, HV cocasta shikakai oil, EVCO, EVOO, and grapeseed oil.

Playing kitchen mixtress is messy messy :lol: but my hair feels really nice
 
Doing a CAT :
Coffee under SSI's Fortifying DC'er
ACV Rinse (Hairveda)
Tea (Green Tea)

Will use CoCosta Shikakai Oil too more than likely.
 
I find this thread very interesting. I don't know if I am going to be consistent enough to join, but is it okay to pop in whenever I try something ayurvedic or herb related? I would really like to see if I can stick to this and what the benefits might be if I do.

I have some steeped green tea waiting in the fridge for my next conditioner cleanse session.
