2015 Coffee,Tea,ACV,AVJ,Ayurvedic, Powders/Clay, Challenge

[imaginary]

Did my first Hendigo last night. I used the premixed Rainbow Henna in dark brown and mixed it with coffee only.

Applying and rinsing were ridiculous though. It was harder to spread on my hair than I'm used to and I shampooed and then cowashed and I'm pretty sure I still have some grains in there. Ah well, I'm gonna DC for a significant portion of the day, only because this wash day was spontaneous and I really dont have the time to rinse and do a set just yet.

 

[Ltown]

i infused rosemary leaves and a nettle tea bag for a week used today as a rinse.

 

[imaginary]

I liked how the rainbow henna performed in terms of toning down the red and I also made sure to leave my hair in the open air for a while since I read somewhere about the indigo needing to oxidize. My hair doesn't feel as strong as when I do my full strength henna treatments. I'm going to use up the rest of this, along with my mountain rose herbs henna in dark brown but I'll probably alternate it with regular henna treatments to see if the colour pay-off is more on my greys.

Cleansed with Muddle Puddle Clay Wash. DC'd with LACE Naturals Bhrami Root Hair Masque.

 

[Rozlewis]

Did a tea rinse with cold water.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Will Rinse with my Herb & Flower Tea Blend tomorrow.

 

[Rozlewis]

Steeped my tea blend (Horsetail, Nettle Leaf, Rooibos, Fenugreek, Marshmallow Root).

 

[Bajanmum]

Finally got round to doing my hair nearly a week later than I said I would, sad times!
I did a coffee rinse and baggied under my conditioner for an hour.
Now that I have five kiddies, I can kiss goodbye to dc'ing twice a week. I'd be lucky if I manage twice a month Lol

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Used: Loose Herbs & Flowers (also dropped a Pure Green Tea, teabag in the mix too). Delightful.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Tonight Will Steep:
Fenugreek
Slippery Elm
Marshmallow Root

Teas for Saturday's Wash Day

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Using: my Fenugreek, Slippery Elm, Marshmallow Root Tea today.

 

[imaginary]

Did another Hendigo treatment last night and oh boy did the colour take. It came out darker than I expected, but I'm fairly sure it'll fade to the image in my head. But jeez are my greys stubborn as all get out. I used the mountainroseherbs brand in medium brown and I much prefer this one. My hair felt softer than when I used the rainbow brand and it left less flakes as well and was just easier to apply and rinse on a whole.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Will use either: Herbs & Flowers OR....Slippery Elm, Fenugreek, Marshmallow Root blend next wash day (Wednesday)

 

[Ltown]

used claudie tea spritz

Hi ladies i haven't use or brought any Ayurvedic powders in 4 years, what is the place to order amla, and others not henna now?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Ltown

I don't buy Ayurvedic Powders. I think when I did (early in my HHJ) I got them from Amazon.

And then never used them. I ended up giving them away.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Tea Rinsing with:
Herbs, Flowers and Green Teas

 

[Ltown]

@IDareT'sHair , and ladies I found this youtuber Curly Proverbz in an older thread but thought you ladies that uses henna might want to try it. It's a tea strengthener she uses henna, amla, shikakai, brahmi. I might try this its simple.

@IDareT'sHair , thanks for info, why do the charge so much for shipping same price as the product, crazy?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Ltown

I know. That's what makes it so durn expensive.

However, I did buy a cheaper brand of Indigo but didn't get the total coverage I'm use to with theirs and I had to use more, I did it twice and was still not totally covered.

If I would have used theirs twice, my hair would have been Raven Black or Blue Black.

So with their products you can use less. So, that forced me right back to them.
