Will Tea Rinse with: Slippery Elm & Marshmallow Root
Will use some ACV Rinse
Will use Annabelle's Ayurvedic Crème after my Hair Dries
Will finish up with KeraVada's Kenyan Coffee Oil
 
That last install had to go. Soaked my hair in fenugreek and amla oil blend then detangled. Doing an overnight henna on dirty hair cuz the silvers gotta bite it too. Didn't even wait for the dye release since I don't have gloves and didn't want to wait another day to get to the store. It will release on the hair as I sleep.

Wrapping it in plastic wrap, under a processing cap, under a satin bonnet. Using old pillowcases to be safe.

Will indigo in the morning.

I actually prefer for the dye to release directly on my hair. I get better color this way. I never wait. I mix and apply and keep it on for about three hours.
 
Going to hendigo this coming weekend. I need to remind myself to prepare Friday night.

Sent from my iPad using LHCF
 
Did the Hairveda Methi Set (Steps 1 & 2) which is an Ayurvedic Tea based Rx.
Did an Oatstraw Tea Rinse

Finished up my Steaming Session with Nexxus Acidifying Hair Rinse (Ensure)
 
It's been a while:look: There is a certain difference in using tea/coffee etc and not using them.....I made a brew of all my teas and plan to freeze portions out. Unless I have a fresh relaxer I MUST use my teas and such during a wash:yep:

And I promptly spilled all but about an ounce:wallbash:
 
Steeped my tea (Nettle, Burdock Root, Fenugreek, Peppermint, Marshmallow Root, Moringa) for this weeks cowash.
 
My hair seems to hold moisture for about 3 days. After that it is OK but I can feel it drying out and the SSKs start.

Optimally I would love to do a mid-week rinse or cowash. I've never had luck cowashing in twist. My twist unravel and my hair frizzes no matter what I use, how gentle I am or how I try to protect it.

I've also tried all the moisturizing suggestions to remoisturize my hair. It lasts for a few hours but my hair gets drier and it just won't make it 7 days. So this month and next is dedicated to keeping my twist moisturized.

I was going to put a t-shirt around my head, get in the shower and rinse with the t-shirt on. I know that sounds crazy. But I was hoping by reducing the pressure of the water, it would prevent my twist from unraveling. But I was too lazy when I got home.

Instead I put a nice layer of oil on my twists. I filled my kitchen sink with water and 2 tbsp of ACV and dunked my head. I couldn't get all of my twist in the water so I used a cup and poured the water over my head until my hair was saturated. I then wrapped my hair in a t-shirt. When my hair is damp I will seal with hazelnut oil.

I'm not sure how it will turn out but so far so good. My twists are intact and look better than they did earlier. I just need them to stay moisturized until Friday. If this doesn't work, I have another 6 options on my list to try :lol:
 
So with the fenugreek, how exactly do I make the rinse? I bought the tea bags from gnc. Do I actually empty the seeds from the tea bag into water or will it work by just soaking the tea bag?

Also, can you infuse the fenugreek seeds in oil by just letting it soak in the oil instead of actually warming the oil on the stove in a glass jar? Has anyone ever created their own mix of Fenugreek oil by just letting it soak in the oil for a long time? I believe I made a nettle oil mix this way years ago by letting the leaves soak in oil for 3 days before straining.
 
Steeped my Marshmallow Root Tea this a.m. before leaving for work.

I'll use it tomorrow.

Will also use ACV Rinse (Nexxus)

Will probably start back on Coffee Rinses June-ish
 
I am not in this challenge, but my hair recently starting begging me to use Cassia again. I am trying to listen and having been doing treatments weekly.

have you tried washing in a stocking cap? It may help let the water in without ruining your twist. Or you could just rollerset....forgive me, but I had to throw it in there
