2018 Curlyproverbz-inspired Regimen Challenge

[Aggie]

I am not interested in everything she offers, but I am interested in the main ones like the Shea/Henna Butter, Clay mix, growth oils, detanglers, ayurvedic hair masks, black soap poo, and the henna tea. Anything else is just gravy for me.

Fusion Of Cultures have a couple videos I like as well like her DIY Clay Wash for example. Like @ThatJerseyGirl said, there are many other YTubers that have documented their results with these CP recipes.

 

[ThatJerseyGirl]

Okay pretty much what I'm understanding is that she made an ayurveda infused oil and whipped the shea butter and essential oils of her choice into the infused oil. That sounds easy enough. I can definitely go from there to infinity with this. It's like a light bulb came on right here.

Thanks @ThatJerseyGirl jerseygirl. I have some Vatika Frosting that I want to use and I wonder if I can use/add some of it for this purpose . I think I can actually. Ooooh I am getting deliriously excited now

Hey Aggie!!! Happy New Year to you. I don't see why you shouldn't be able to use your VF. In fact, aren't they almost similar in terms of ingredients (the amla, brahmi, coconut oil, etc?)

As far as the shea mix, you are exactly right! Very simple to do.

You are right. I will be using the VF for my SB mixtures. I will do a little doctoring still though with some herbs I ordered from Monteray Bay Spice online store. I like the herbs from this online store because they are not just cosmetic grade but food grade. I can use them for both.

 

[Aggie]

Exactly, and that's why I took notes. I don't chase indie products around. She might fall out with bellebar's next month, and then I wouldn't have the product I had come to depend on. The whole purpose of ayurveda hair care (to me) is self-sufficiency.

Interesting point @Honey Bee

 

[Honey Bee]

Oh, I meant to tell yall. Earlier, a million pages ago, I had asked if I could blend up fenugreek seeds in my Nutribullet. I watched a yt'er do it yesterday- yes, you can, you just have to use the flat, 'seed' attachment thing-y.

I wonder if it would work with oily fenugreek seeds?

If you try it, let us know how it worked out please @Honey Bee.

 

[ThatJerseyGirl]

@Aggie - are you able to get fenugreek powder where you live?

@ThatJerseyGirl

No hon. I have to buy it online. I get a good price for a 5lb bag on Amazon - under $20 I think with free shipping. So I don't mind getting it there since I order quite a bit from Amazon.

Would you mind sharing which vendor?

I have Indian grocers literally a 5-minute wall away, but not at that price.

@ThatJerseyGirl and @Honey Bee, I will be 100% unoffended if you say, "Hayle naw" , but can I invite you to be an administrator of the cpinspiredwordpress.com site I'm building for us?

What I want to do is have just ONE comprehensive format for presenting a product/recipe. Right now I have two. I want to keep the format here https://cpinspiredhaircare.wordpress.com/videos/recipe-videos/video-hair-tea/ BUT ADD A USAGE NOTE at the top, like I did here https://cpinspiredhaircare.wordpres...product-hair-detanglers/diy-hair-detangler-1/.

I also want to remove the CP products from the "VIDEOS" menu. (It's unnecessarily repetitive.)

Once I do that, then I'll create a whole bunch of blank pages for the products to be discussed in that format above. If you inbox me your email address, then I can make you an administrator and you can copy and paste onto the product pages. It's not hard to do. And don't worry about perfect typing or anything. I can proofread and stuff.

Like I said, please easily say no if not interested. I will get around to it eventually. I just thought it might be a good idea to give access to more than one LHCF member, and also thought it might get done faster.

It's this vendor @Saludable84

It looks like it went up $1.00 but still a great price

I just wanted to come back and comment. I would be happy to assist. Let me buckle down and get into this.

@Honey Bee -- what say you, sis?

So excited!

I did my henna gloss and it was great! My hair feels stronger with no adverse effects. I shouldn't really be surprised since, a, I used henna relaxed (but it was pre-mixed!), and b, my fine hair loves protein-y things, but you never know.

I mixed 2 tsps of henna with a dash of acv and water. The next day I added one tsp of hibiscus powder (no rose) and avg. That sat for about an hour. (It turned burgundy, so pretty!) Added enough conditioner to turn it from burgundy to a dark rose color, left it on 3 hrs. Rinsed with V05 Clarifying conditioner. LCO'd (w/ diluted KCKT, Oyin Hair Dew and my shea butter/ broc butter/ mahabringraj oil mix). My hair is drying now.

@Taleah2009, don't feel bad, I haven't oiled my scalp in a while either. I need to make another batch of oil. Oh! I bought an electric mug warmer to gently heat my oils!!! I meant to tell yall! (I'm obviously v excited.) Hopefully I get my stuff sometime this month.

In conclusion, lol, henna gloss- successful. I can't wait to do a real treatment. I used to do my henna twice a month. Of course, back then, I was dealing with relaxer damage. Fine haired ladies, how often do you henna?

I henna once a month, as far as glosses are concerned. I use my my henna tea rinse every day though. My hair loves it.

@YvetteWithJoy @ThatJerseyGirl I'm in! I have no idea what I'm doing, but I learn fast.

@Saludable84, Did you get this?

 

[YvetteWithJoy]

Yay! Thank you!

 

[Theresamonet]

There are too many things I want to do.

Henna
Various Ayurvedic treatments
Oil rinse
Acv rinse
Tea rinse
Clay mask
Deep condition
Steam
Rice water rinse
Protein treatment
LOC method
MHM method
Growth scalp oil
Scalp massages

I need to figure out what I'm doing. I guess I'll start by determining what things are accomplishing the same goals and what things can be combined.

 

[Theresamonet]

Is anyone seeing results from the growth oil mix without the MSM and vit C?

 

[Saludable84]

@Saludable84, Did you get this?

No. I figured I would try back when I got under WiFi.

 

[Honey Bee]

Is anyone seeing results from the growth oil mix without the MSM and vit C?

MSM made me break out (yes, even just topically), so my next batch will have to be made without it. I'm still gonna use MSM tho, just in dc's and not left on. I'll let yall know if I get results.

Fyi, I'm doing MHM and just inserting ayurveda into it. So, my dc will have some oil in it, or my clay mask will include some amla and rose powder, etc.

 

[Aggie]

No. I figured I would try back when I got under WiFi.

Okay gotcha

 

[kxlot79]

1/2 tsp of what kind of sulfur? Recommendations on using sulfur?
TIA!

Hell, add a 1/2 teaspoon of sulfur to your ayurvedic oil and you should be lookin like Cousin It by the end or at least by the summer of 2018 provided you are consistent in your hair care practices.

 

[kxlot79]

I full strength henna Rx 1x/month and will usually do a henna gloss 1-2/month

Fine haired ladies, how often do you henna?

 

[kxlot79]

So far the main noticeable difference for me is in the strength, shine, manageability, and darkness of my new growth. Idk that the oil has actually done anything to my growth rate. My initial answer is no. I have never used MSM or Vitamin C topically.

Is anyone seeing results from the growth oil mix without the MSM and vit C?

 

[Saludable84]

Okay gotcha

Sorry. Im not seeing it

 

[weavepat]

For everyone involved in the wordpress project. I just came to talk about keeping my scalp oiled and y'all are in here putting an archive together!

 

[YvetteWithJoy]

Well done! I actually smirked at the title! Well done dear and Thanks for always having all our backs!

I missed this post yesterday! You're more than welcome.

Lol. Should I change the title, ya think?

 

[Honey Bee]

@kxlot79, Are you also using the tea?

I think yall have the right idea- lots of henna- but I don't know if I should apply it in controlled doses (like a full treatment or a gloss several times a month) or one dose with touch ups (ie, the tea), I don't think I should do both.
