I think I will let mine sit for a shorter amount of time next time, before I apply it. I haven't added anything to my henna besides the green tea and a little bit of lemon juice. I may add some honey next time as well.

Ok, ladies...been really busy haven't been on the forum lately, so I thought I will give you an update.
My siggy pic signifies how much Ayurveda conditions the hair and creates healthy hair. My hair is in its best condition in a long time, if not ever.
I had to get my hair straightened for a party with family. The girl that does my hair loved my hair curly and said that it was not dry...AT ALL! She asked me what I'm doing, and of course I didn't share the secret
But, I did tell her that I've been conditioning alot
and she told me that she could tell. Once she began to straighten my hair, it was a breeze to do and this is my result. All the ladies that were there getting their hair done, loved it...as did I! I did ask her to cut about 1/2 inch off and she told me that I didn't need it
She said that my ends were fantastic and whatever I was doing to keep doing it. I told her thanks, but cut the 1/2 inch anyway because I want thicker ends. She did and I'm happy.
Have a blessed evening, ladies!

I did another tea mix also a few days ago. I mixed 2 tsp: Brahmi, Amla, Fenugreek, Hibiscus and 1 tsp: Maka and Shikakai with hot water. I oiled my hair and scalp with Vatika and EVCO, rinsed my hair and then poured the mix on my hair and let it sit on my hair with a plastic cap for an hour to an hour and a half. I then rinsed, and cowashed. I didn't even DC my hair. It was so soft and silky afterwards. I just applied my leave ins, sealed, and PS. My hair loves Ayurveda.
EVCO is Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. I use Jamila Body Art Quality Henna. I do henna mostly for conditioning, but don't mind the color either. That's why I don't let the dye fully release ( only for 3 or so hours). I'm scared of looking like a fire cracker. When doing it this way I get the great conditioning properties and my color is beautiful afterwards.

You don't have to actually do that, just use moisturizing conds. with no protein. And only use Bhrami and Bhringraj, believe me your hair will feel like butter.
Ok. I tried this and yes. I definitely felt a difference, not quite butter, but maybe pudding
. Just shows my how much of a protein overload I experienced. So in the last week+, I have done a AOHSR Bhrami/maka paste and I have shampooed with my Njoi Ayurveda poo bar. I pre-pooed each time with Ayurvedic butter. I plan to do another Bhrami AOHSR mix later this week.

I purchased the 2oz sample size and have been using for about 2.5 weeks. So far, my hair absolutely LOVES this product. It is doing wonders for my new growth and keeping it incredibly moisturized. I use it as a moisturizer for NG and a sealer for relaxed strands. I am currently about 11.5 weeks post.

LOL!
I wish mine was more red. As you can see by my siggy, my hair just gets darker. You can only see the red in the sunlight/natural light. I do like the color on my grays, though. They are red.
