Have been using nightly Oyin Hair Dew and whipped shea butter to seal. Hair feels Very soft. That hair dew is a holy grail.
 
Applied KeraVada Brahmi oil on my scalp,HH big city punch,CC rice pudding,KeraVada souffle on length & sealed with Natures Blessing hair dress on ends..Hair feels better.

*The temp dropping today,had to prepare my hair/scalp..It worked^^^

Happy Hair Growing!
 
Oiled my scalp with NG Honey Growth Balm, sunflower oil on the length of my twists, little HH Liquid Gold Cake Batter, and Hairveda Almond Glaze on the ends.
 
Anyone use Rosehip oil on their hair? I've been using it on my face and I absolutely love the results. I plan to try it on my ends to see if I can get them from bushy to defined and strong.
 
I have been playing around with a crisco, avg mix this week. I have added crisco, avg a little castor oil, olive oil, hazelnut oil and a small bit of a butter I have. On my washday on Sunday, I will try it out on one side as a moisturizer/sealer and see how that goes. It is fairly light so not sure how it will work. Not sure what I am going to compare it with just yet.
 
Detangled with Cocoa Tree Detangling Ghee. Another Holy Grail. Made detangling with my Magic Star a lot easier.:grin:

Won't be without it again. I am already over trying to replace Qhemet in my product line up. For my hair I just don't think its possible. Something about Qhemet Coco Tree just melts apart the tangles. I don't know what it is...

Rewhipped my crisco mix and put it in the fridge. I think using just a little bit less AVG will make the difference. It's solid but just barely.
 
Made an oil cleaner for my face tonight.... it stung my eyes a bit but it worked well (I guess my eyes were not closed fully):look:

Used coconut oil, dr. Bronners castile soap, honey and some agave syrup.

Plan to oil my hair overnight with my ayurvedic oil blend.

I have that oil on my want list for my face specifically.
 
Been experimenting with making Ayurvedic conditioner cream to use as a wash out and leave-in moisturizing conditioning treatment. I've been using one I made earlier this week, and my hair hasn't been this moisturized/conditioned in quite some time :-). Planning to make another batch using tea and oils both infused with Amla, fenugreek, bhringaraj, brahmi, hibiscus, horsetail, and nettle. Here's the formulation for anyone interested. Be sure to check your pH in your tea. The hibiscus is acidic, so it should bring your tea to a pH of between 4.5-5.5, which will be the final ph of your conditioner. Enjoy!

Instructions:

Weigh out the BTMS, oils, and cetyl alcohol in a heat proof container, then put into a double boiler. Weigh out the water and humectant in a heat proof container, and put that into the double boiler. Heat both to 70C. Remove both from heat, pour the contents of one container into the other, and mix well with a hand mixer or stick blender. When the temperature reaches below 45C, add the essential or fragrance oil, and preservative. Spoon into a jar and let cool with the lid off to avoid condensation.

@ Nix08

Awe, thanks! I haven't found a store bought product that gave me what I needed for my hair, so I decided to start making my own so I could get the good stuff without all the extra junk. Once you have the right equipment (kitchen scale, two Pyrex measuring cups, and a stick blender) and supplies (BTMS for your emulsifier/conditioner and Cetyl alcohol for your thickener/ moisturizer to start) everything else you add is straight from your kitchen or local grocer. I do want to get some panthenol, and then I'll be really set. No more buying store bought conditioners or lotions for me :-)

I have a Pinterest page dedicated to recipes and tutorials that I've collected.

Used Pomade Shop's Peppermint Pomade on my scalp, HH Liquid Gold Cake Batter on length of twists, sealed with sunflower oil, and Hairveda Almond Glaze on the ends.
