Ronnieaj Okay, spill the beans. What is this mixture? And I have bentonite and rhassoul clay. I do a clay treatment once a week and my hair feels awesome afterwards! I would love to incorporate ayurvedic in with that.
Please, please come back and tell me.
LOLOL, okay okay okay
. I mix shikakai, aritha (I know they're super strong), 1tsp each, and at least 1T of cassia, maka, tulsi, hibiscus, fenugreek, and neem, and 3T each of amla and brahmi. My hair is a bit of a protein wh*re, so it can take the strength of these ingredients. In the winter I may do 2T of the maka, hisbiscus and fenugreek, since they're so moisturizing, and cut back a bit on the brahmi. I mix them all together and then I can just scoop out a mix to make my rinses.
All the ladies over at the mud wash thread made me try to figure out how to combine the clay treatments and ayurveda, and they mention thinning their washes with water. Well, why not thin it with a tea rinse mixture instead
? That's what I do, mix 2tsp of my clay mixture with 2tsp of the tea rinse. I lightly oil my hair, apply the mix, let it sit for 30 min, and then rinse. That's why the amount of shikaki and aritha I use is so small, since the bentonite and rhassoul are cleansing as well and I don't want it too strong. This allows me to do combine the two without taking up my whole day.
I hope that makes some sense
