Used my regular henna oil. It’s turning my hair a red shade (in the light). Ask me if I care though.

I don't do henna treatments, but my favorite deep conditioners have been Shea Moisture Manuka Honey and the Sally Beauty Brand Conditioning Balm.
And my oil mix has coconut oil, olive oil and castor oil.

Yeah, she's got a lot of great recipes on her channel. I can't tell if she actually uses all of them on her hair regularly though, but she's a great resource. I like Maicurls and duchess gabrielle too.

lol, I just saw that. People may not post much anymore, but they're always lurking.
It sounds like she still does quite a few of the recipes she shared, not all though. I got the impression that she most loved the her egg wash and fenugreek seed hair mask. And aloe oil, amla oil, curly proverbs oil and henna come in close for second place.

Originally posted in the Shea Butter thread but posting her because incorporating tea into the mix
Wash Day:
Washed hair w black soap shampoo
Detangled Giovanni SAS conditioner
Deep condition w Mint Babbassu
I let my hair air dry after washing then went in each section
Tea spritz of (tea bags) green tea hibiscus + chamomile lavender — smelled sooo good
Kinky curly knot today leave in
Shea butter to twist
Giiiiiiiiirl. My twists were sooooo juicy
And the shine oh how could I forget the shine ?! SHEA SHINE COME THROUGH
I did feel that as my hair dried out I wondered if I was using too much tea to rewet because at first the tea seemed like it made my hair a little hard and took effort to work in which I didn’t want to do too much manipulation because there was noooo slip. But as soon as I put the KCKT on top it was super soft n slippery.
I wonder if it’d be better to do it as a final rinse in the shower than trying to spritz

I'm not sure what the difference is between the two threads either, lol.
But I'm loving these wash day details. That henna mask and your Ayurvedic oil sound wonderful. I'm planning on including hibiscus in my next Ayurvedic oil batch.
What oils did you end up putting in your Ayurvedic Oil? And does the henna in the oil change your hair color at all?

You may have shared this already, but what's in your henna mix? Is it the gloss/conditioner version or is it the paste/water version?

I forgot to mix my herbs yesterday for my gloss. So my deep conditioner is a little pared down. 
Today's wash day started with my ayurvedic oil (it's infused with amla, brahmi, fenugreek, and elderflower) for a hot oil treatment. Shampooed with Chagrin Valley Ayurvedic Shampoo Bar and deep conditioned with my regular DC but added about a teaspoon each of honey and my ayurvedic oil. I'm under the hooded dryer now with the deep conditioner mix.

Sometimes I straight henna. Sometimes I henna gloss. My mixtures change depending on my mood, but I ALWAYS have amla and brahmi in the mix.
I used a mix of henna, amla, brahmi, fennugreek powder and hibiscus (like 4 tablespoons of henna and ~ teaspoon each of the other 4) and added hot water until I got it to the consistency that I wanted. I ended up added about 2 tablespoons of DC because I needed to stretch the mixture a bit (I was originally planning to do it without conditioner). I left it on 3.5 hours.
My hair is strong, sheeny and ready for my twists.

There should be a Stark Difference between this Thread and the CP Thread.
This thread has been in existence in this Forum for many, many years and I think the CP Thread is about how to make CP Oil (if I'm not mistaken) or how to incorporate Ayurveda into your CP Blend?
Please forgive and correct me if I am wrong? @SunkissedLife @WaistLengthDreams
Admittedly, I haven't really been in the CP Thread too much or too often.

Used my Shea Butter with the Ayurveda herbs mixed in. I like the consistency. Found some pieces because of the kalpi, but it’s fine. It’s not gritty or powdery. I hope it adds some thickness 
but overall, strength.

Cool! Thank you for sharing this. I see a lot of the herbs I've been focusing on in there. It makes me feel like I'm on the right track.
Got it. I think I'm in the right place because I'm not using her oil recipe. She contributed to my interest in Ayurveda, but I don't use the vitamin c or msm at all in my regimen.
Hey @Sally. Minus the clay and henna treatment, we had pretty similar wash days. I forgot to mention it in my previous post, but I did an ACV rinse after shampoo and before deep conditioning.

@IDareT'sHair I’m still using Chebe- I think it’s amazing, but it does have limited uses, unfortunately. It keeps my hair moisturized for so long, but in certain lights, it looks grainy on my hair. Which is fine for me, but society (sigh) Sometimes I wish black women were more free to embrace hair/body/self-care practices that others might not understand, but are actually best for our us, rather than constantly having to consider how ‘palatable’ or ‘socially acceptable’ something will be. Even with things as simple as leaving JBCO or Vatika in my hair and going outside, in the back of my mind, I’m wondering if people can smell it and what they’re thinking, etc. Or when my hair is moisturized, but some of it is still sitting on top, waiting to be absorbed.

enjoyed reading your post.
I am still using Chebe as well.
I am under a Wig right now, so I guess I don't necessarily have to worry about that IRL, but I do use stuff on occasion like MTG, ED JBCO and this Virgin Hair Fertilizer and wonder if other people can smell it.
ETA: I just whipped up a batch of SB, Pure Argan and Chebe. I also mixed up SB, Pure Emu and Chebe.

hey girl! glad to see we are thinking along the same lines. those were my goals for wash day (i wanted to do a full on intense wash day finally), but as always, i got pressed for time and it didn't work out that way.
i ended up not making the amla/brahmi oil and instead did an aloe vera on scalp and avocado/evoo hot oil treatment.
i also didn't have time to do the henna treatment and i did a clay shampoo wash instead of a clay detox.
no acv rinse this time, but there was acv in my clay wash. i thought acv was good to use after DC because it helped seal the cuticles. why do you use it after shampoo?
