Thanks for the mention! I plan to continue to henndigo and use AVJ throughout 2014, I also want to incorporate tea rinses by using teas like burdock root, slippery elm and black. I'm going to order some more bamboo leaf tea but will consume that as oppose to rinsing with it.

Did a tea rinse with Rooibos, Fenugreek, Horsetail, Burdock Root, Nettle, and Peppermint. Hair feels soft, strong and moisturized.

Currently have a fenugreek mask on. First time using the powder version, I normally use the tea. I don't smell curry anything. Just a light hint of maple syrup

Fenugreek powder made into a paste is a hit. I let the mixture sit over night added a little bit of oil and applied it to dry hair this morning. I smelled a light maple smell and I barely lost any shed hairs.

I like fenugreek (powder or tea rinse) way better than black tea.

Black tea tore my hair up. Left it extra dry and seriously tangled.

Omg. Speaking of the smell. I had prepoo overnight with fenugreek and amla oils. Forgot it was on yesterday and ran out to target.

Girls working the floor asking each other, "do you smell maple syrup? Where is it coming from?" I try to scurry away to another section and the little trollops follow sniffing the air!! Looking very hungry

Then im in line and the cashier half my age looks at me and exclaims, "YOU SMELL LIKE MAPLE SYRUP!! I AM SO HUNGRY!" She leans over the check stand face aimed right for my head, and I pop backwards horrified this little girl is gonna start munching my fro!!! It was all too reminiscent of these zombie apocalypse movies.

I high tail it outta there terrified for my life

Thanks for the tag. I stopped posting in the 2013 thread cause i stopped using black tea rinse. It worked great at stopping my shedding. Since the reason of my shedding was/is oiling my scalp or using any type of growth aids (ie hair vitamins), i just stopped doing all of that. Therefore no more need to rinse.
I recently ordered some cassia and amla powder from hennasooq, but then my hair started acting up. So i'm waiting for things to settle again, before introducing anything new. So this year, i will be experimenting with the ayuverdic products.

Did you use the fenugreek on wet or dry hair?

Solila, I have been using this combination for several months now and it works well for my hair. I use it on wash day and only co-wash day and its heavenly. Leaves hair strong and moisturized.

You trying to soak overnight? Why not try making the paste and using it right away? I know the mucilage is sought after, but....*shrug* won't hurt to try it...

That's my plan. Seemed to work great straight up in henna anyway.

DarkJoy I wanted to soak it overnight for the mucilage. I'm going to experiment with doing it both ways. I just want to be able to rinse it out without having to cowash to get every bit of it out afterwards.
