The SM line was on a buy 2 get one so I took your word on the Yucca milk since I had never tried it and bought one. My hair will be braided up under a wig mist of the winter I guess unless I get a braided style. I plan to start learning styles for 2014 so I am going to have new things to try for 2014 all around. Thank you.

Maybe I can go to the Health Food Store and get some Fenugreek Tea.
I have a jar of seed mix in the freezer but I will convert to tea after I finish up all of my seeds. I have the dickens of a time removing the seeds after the treatment.........:lachen:

Mixed up some henna before work this morning...used 100g henna, 25g rose powder and a tea mix of rooibos, nettle, rose hips and fenugreek. 12hours later, i came home to a creamy henna mix and added honey before plopping into my hair. Will keep in for 3 hrs, rinse and use a moisturizing dc and a couple ozs of keravada greentea oil for an hour with heat.

This really sounds good!
 
Made a 'but the kitchen sink brew' on the weekend and rinsed Saturday and Sunday.
Also used my shikakai based rinse both times.

Columbia Coffee under Nature's Ego Avocado Deep Conditioner
ACV Hairveda's ACV Rinse
T Tea Burdock Root
 
Did a pre poo with coconut oil topped with bioinfusion critical care masque. Overnight. Rinsed and co cleansed with AS I AM cleansing conditioner. Coffee to scalp, tea to hair , blotted and hemp seed oil to hair shaft with AE hot oil treatment to the hair combined with sunflower, olive and rice bran oil. Under a cap and wig and went to run errands. Will steam after I finish cooking dinner.
 
Just cleaned out the indian market :look: . Literally bought every shikakai left on the shelf (6 boxes). Several amlas and neem. Even bought a huge container of coconut oil for $5!!!! This will be strictly for hair. Going to make shikakai and amla oils with it. Saw a how to on YT :look:

Going to remove ashwagandha powder from reggi. Not seeing benefits from it. Plus I wonder if it's not letting my coils elongate.

Replacing the shower head water filter tonight. Hard water is wreaking havoc on my body and hair too.

I sure will @mshoneyfly! GOing to try it doing it in the Ayurvedic tradition as shown by this Indian doctor here. Luckily all is cheap at the indian store so if I mess it up, I'll just try again. :) Tulsi is the bomb.com for cleansing scalp and removing dandruff, etc

Is it too late to join this challenge???:look:

I've been lurking forever and experimenting and finally developed spritz that's working for my hair.:yay:

So simple: AVJ, Distilled water and rose oil. All these months I've been mixing this tea with that powder in water infused with all them herbs. My hair always felt so coated. And I know I'm all axe backwards making spritz in the fall/winter time, but I cannot help myself!:nono:

Today I built on that simplicity by adding rooibos and oolong teas, and a few eo's. I also added AVG to the mix. I spray my bun about 3-4 times a day. My hair feels divine!

Has anyone noticed breakage when using AVJ or AVG as a final rinse?
Click to expand...
@Jobwright.

YES! I can not use aloe at all. At least not in a leave-in product. Or it's break off and shed city :nono:. It's OK (for my hair) as an ingredient (not the only ingredient) in shampoos and rinse out condish. Otherwise, for a final rinse or in styling products it's a no-go for aloe.
 
Hey y'all! Long time no hear from! I missed you guys! Anywho I used all my joj up and need to order more. I ordered a tea spritz from njoi creations to spray in my braids I will be rocking for the next month or so. Will check in once I get it.
