I think I will try this out. I will do my a.c.v rinses, colloidal oatmeal rinses, beer rinses, along with my tea rinses. My hair loves protein so this will be a fun addition to my weekly hair spa day.

Thank you for mentioning me I really want to be consistent with my treatments this time around!

Okay, I'll admit that I fell off with this one. I have some fenugreek powders as well as some teas/coffees in my stash. Thanks for the mention, T!

Thanks for the mention as well. I still have the teas I bought last year. I need to use them or at least figure out that this isn't for me and give them away. Geesh.

I'll be back in a few days to list what I have.

I'll continue using the following:

  • ACV & AVJ
  • Kalpi Tone
  • Meera Hair Wash
  • Henna & Hibiscus powder
  • Keravada bhringraj & fenugreek oils
  • Vatika Oil & Frostng

I recently purchased bhringraj & indigo powders, and a Methi Sativa set from HV, but I have not used them yet.

I love being a new henna head! I think henna will take my retention to the next level, :yep:

I'm in,in,in!!! I am a tea girl and I have bags and bags of herbs to steep for this round. Right now I'm using a fenugreek tea to detangle, I also made a tea spritz to use as my final rinse with red rooibus as my base and sage, rosemary, lavender, burdock root and marshmallow root steeped in. I'm also using a coffee pomade which I'm loving right now. I was on vacay last week so I've been in the kitchen whipping up stuff like a mad scientist.. Lol

Yes I need to be in this challenge. And a bunch of others. I need to rededicate myself to all the potions that I have brewed and get to pouring them on my hair. Soon I will be snapping up a few new items....:flyingwit

QUESTION:

Should I do a Henna/Aveda Black Malva Conditioner Gloss or a Henna/Indigo/Aveda Black Malva Conditioner Henna Gloss?

I'm going for a glossy black color with the Henna Benefits. I plan to do them every month to every 2 months.

Thanks for the mention! @IDareT'sHair

Last night I brewed a tea spray that I use under all my DCs and after conditioning/before the leave in:

Green tea
Fenugreek
Nettle
Burdock Root
Oolong
Peppermin

I think I'm going to start brewing in rose water again... I liked it when I did it a couple of years ago.

Also will be doing ACV rinses once a week after shampooing.

I made my fenugreek paste by soaking fenugreek powder, rose and hibiscus powder overnight. It made a paste so I portioned it out and put it in the freezer. I don't normally do it like this do we shall see.

Bent. Not Broken.
Used fenugreek for the first time but not typically as I've been reading.

I added a whole bunch of fenugreek powder straight up to henna (there was also shikakai, amla and tulsi in it). It rinsed out EASY. Just EASY with the fenugreek. WOW! My hair was soft after the rinse as well and I debated not DCing but did anyway. Did a TOR (Tea and Oil Rinse) :lachen:,with DC on top of Dabur Garlic Growth Mask on scalp and AO Island Naturals on ends.

This flat twist out is gone be gooooood...

My plan for 2014 is to use henna monthly, bhrami powder weekly and possibly continuing with black tea if it helps to decrease my shedding.

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

I'm in for Irish Moss......and Fenugreek :look:.

Although the later did me real dirty with a week long curry scent, I still have hope we can make it work.

Plus, I got 3 packs of this stuff. I gotta use my stash. LOL
