2017 Coffee Tea Clay Mud Acv Avj Ayurveda Challenge

@Sharpened
Which one do you think caused the greasy effect? Castor or Hemp?

That is a good question. I am not sure; totally forgot how straight aloe gel smoothes down my cuticle layer. Maybe I should try it with hempseed oil alone before the jojoba.

@Sharpened
This is what I was thinking.

 

[Aggie]

I used some AVJ today in my prepoo with evoo and evco.

@IDareT'sHair and @Sharpened I've always found hempseed oil to be the greasier of the two. Castor seems to sink into the hair almost.

@imaginary
Interesting. We'll see on the report back from @Sharpened

I used a bit of Macadamia Oil in my homemade "Moisture Drench Pre-Poo." It is so 'greasy' it threw my entire mixture off. I won't use it again.

 

[Sharpened]

Ugh, now I remember why I stopped using aloe gel - itchy scalp and shed skin cells under my nails. Come to find out aloe vera gel can be used for gentle exfoliation... and a reminder that I have not done a clay wash in yonkers. Oop...

Plotting a way to do an overnight aloe scalp treatment, followed by FRW and clay wash (oil rinse is optional).

 

[Sharpened]

Screw it, I used aloe gel mainly on the scalp, covered with plastic cap for an hour. At the sink, I rinsed it out with FRW, left it in for 3 minutes, rinsed, then used FRW again like a shampoo. My scalp got warm with this and the vigorous massaging I did. My hair almost squeaked. After oil rinsing, I used the Rooibos Tea with glycerin as a leave-in. Let's see how my hair and scalp fair over the next few days.

Fermented Rice Water Stank!

That's all I got.

[Sharpened]

I am still working on the batch I made back in December.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Guava Leaf Tea
Moisture Drenched Pre-Poo which has AVJ & AVG

 

[Sharpened]

Rooibos Tea Leave-in Rinse with glycerin today. After this batch is done, I will not put glycerin in it anymore; makes my hair shrink and frizz too much.

Bamboo Leaf Tea Rinse
Moisture Drench which has AVJ and AVGelly

Rooibos Tea Leave-in Rinse with glycerin today. After this batch is done, I will not put glycerin in it anymore; makes my hair shrink and frizz too much.

Glycerin has the same effect on my hair. I tend to steer clear of any leave-in products that have it as an ingredient.

 

[GGsKin]

Used clay on my hair today, after my DC. My mix was rhassoul, c.bentonite, water, steeped hibiscus and saa.

 

[Sharpened]

Glycerin has the same effect on my hair. I tend to steer clear of any leave-in products that have it as an ingredient.

Supposedly, adding propylene glycol helps to counteract that, but both together can give me pimples. My next batch may have marshmallow root and rosemary needles steeped with it.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Doing a Hendigo tomorrow. Also doing a Rice Water and a Bamboo Rinse too.

 

[Ltown]

used aphogee green tea spritiz

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Used:
Bamboo Leaf
Rice Water
AVJ, AVG, Oil Rinse

 

[imaginary]

Did an overnight henna treatment last night; mixed it with my trusty coconut milk. I forgot to make my rice water last week, so I just put some rice in some hot water with a green tea bag. Will strain it in a little bit and then use it after I rinse my DC.

 

[Sharpened]

I dumped the rest of my Rooibos Tea with glycerin, no likey. I will be doing a few Green Tea Soaks before returning to the rooibos.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Steeped a nice pot of Guava Leaf Tea for next wash day.

 

[Sharpened]

Two days after using AVG for an hour on my scalp and hair, several big, brown flakes came off during a scalp check. You best believe I was scritching and examining my head like I was checking for lice, LOL. It was only in a small section of the top-front area. Whew... I have no idea what had happened there, but I will be doing another straight AVG treatment sometime soon.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

After my DC session, today I clay masked with the same combo I used on Tuesday.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Ya'll Rice Water STANKS!

That's all I got. Ewww it smells bad. Who knew?

 

[ladybee1922]

Just made a batch of henna for tomorrow, still in mini braids from Jan. This will be the first time using henna in braids. Used my ayurvedic butter and oil mix on Friday so will not be adding any oils.

 

[ladybee1922]

After 18 hours I rinsed the henna and Love the copper red it is now and it feels soooo good! So soft, that is a big surprise as it usually feels strong and in need of moisture but the ayurvedic butter and oil mix has it feeling very soft and conditioned! So Happy!
Now that I know I can henna in braids I'll see if I can keep them in for the rest of the year...I will indigo too.
