I have secured mason jars I will start preparing an oil infusion tonight! I am thinking of black cumin seed and fenugreek in either grapeseed or jojoba oil, and horsetail, nettle, yarrow and chammomile in another oil. What you guys think?
Took down 2 celie braids and sprayed hair with rosewater, conditioner, castor oil mix and smoothed through with fingers. Added garnier fructus curl construct mousse and used large pick to make a big fluffy fro ... of course it rained like he** after I left the house. I came home with an Ice Cube afro with tortoise shell combs at the temple.
Will apply mix of conditioner and ayurvedic oils before bed tonight, make 2 braids and co-wash tomorrow.

sounds like a nice mix of oils and herbs. please let us know how the infusions turn out and how you decide to use them (e.g. oil rinse, scalp massage, etc.) I have never done of these combinations. Looking forward to hearing your results. I love my mason jars
gonna water rinse, dc & oil rinse (castor/sunflower) in a little bit.
ive been testing out not sealing separately...ive found that my hair loves oil rinses and it can handle my mix of water & castor oil, but when i actually put oil directly on my hair after a wash or to style, it doesnt feel too good...i feel like my hair just feels dry. maybe my hair doesnt like traditional "sealing" i never even really moisturize after i do a dc because i'll DC and then i use my oil rinse to sort of seal the moisture (i dont rinse the dc before putting the oil on) and then i rinse with cool water and my hair is usually good for a couple or days (though i still spray moisture for good measure haha)...hmm.
besides all that mess, my hair hasnt been as oily lately. hahaha. that's a plus all by itself.
I went swimming this afternoon. I am going to pre-poo with infusion of henna, amla, neem, Brahmi, maka and shikakai powders in blend of castor, almond, tea tree, sunflower and sesame oils.
Found a new herb shop. So bought a bottle of castor oil and some cedarwood eo. They had a lot of different EOs compared to my other health store. So going to read up on some EOs and get some more. They were reasonably priced to starting at $6.
After wash & Dc,used Donna Marie detangle & conditioner as a leave-in,Camille Rose (Almond Jai Butter) & Sealed with Walnut oil...Applied Hairitage (Calming Down Cream) on scalp,Peppermint pomade on edges....
I washed out ayurvedic pre-poo, conditioned, applied neem infused olive oil to edges and ends. I added eco custard, sectioned hair for twists and applied neem oil to each section before twisting. I will trim ends after my swim tomorrow.
