Infusing oil tips?
I don’t think I can keep up with the herb packs. Too much time and energy and esp all that rinsing. Plus when I was rinsing out my deep conditioner the water was brownish definite sign I didn’t rinse all the mud in my hair and sure enough my hair was pretty hard when styling.
Instead I’m thinking of incorporating oil rinses. I would love to use an Ayurvedic packed oil. I want to DIY one (using penetrating oils of course) but every time it was grainy I was never able to fully strain. Otherwise I will likely use simple growth mix: EVOO/EVCO + ylang ylang essential oil. Except I will still be doing henna packs because that gives my hair life lol
What are your fav herbs to infuse and how to do you infuse them?
What is your fav pre-made mix?
Tips for infusing oils:
Large mason jar, put your powders in, fill it up with oils, apply low heat and infuse for 8 to 12 hours. Shake it up and leave it for 4 to 6 weeks. (My favorite way). When its time to strain, the powders will have settled to the bottom and seperate from the oil. This is good because you can just pour the seperated oil without getting that much of the powders....just stop pouring before you hit the powders.
You can also place the powders in a coffee filter, tie the top with a rubber band to close it off and throw that in the mason jar instead.
My favorite herbs to infuse are:
Fenugreek
Amla
Bhringraj
(Together or just 3 seperate oil blends)
And I always use Rosemary or Geranium EO in my infused oil blends.
I've never used a premade oil blend, so I cant help you there.
HTH Sis!
