2018 Curlyproverbz-inspired Regimen Challenge

[Leo24Rule]

Wanting to know if I'm on the right track with moisture/protein balance.
1. What leave-in conditioners are ya'll using after following spritzing the strengthening hair teas?

As of right now I'm using Cantu Conditioning Crème (has alcohol, silk amino acids), Creme of Nature with Argan Oil Perfect
7 (has parabens, alcohol, silk amino acids), DevaCurl B'Leave-In Miracle Curl Plumper (has hydrolyzed corn, soy, and wheat proteins; wheat amino acids)

2. What deep conditioners are ya'll using?

I use Queen Helen Cholesterol Hair Conditioning Cream (has sulfates, alcohol, parabens, and mineral oil)

 

[tapioca_pudding]

Hello. What do you mean by moisture? Like using moisturizing ayurvedic herbs in a gloss, using the tea spritz/oil, or literally moisturizing your hair everyday for that week?

Hi there I deep condition my hair weekly, so during Weeks 2 & 4, I use a deep conditioner that has more moisturizing properties than strengthening (protein). HTH!

 

[tapioca_pudding]

Hi. So in your tea spray you have henna AND also henna 1x a month plus henna glosses? How often can you henna + use henna tea spray?

I do a henna gloss once a month and use my henna/ayurvedic tea spray (that also contains aloe vera powder which is hydrating for my hair) several times throughout the week. I don't do straight henna at this time. If I ever decide to do straight henna, it would only be quarterly if not bi-annually.

Here is her new growth oil recipe. It only includes curry leaves, onions and garlic. I would imagine this oil to smell pungent. Any takers?
I copied & pasted from her yt channel before it goes away....

Guys time for a 2018 hair growth oil update. You all loved my last two recipe videos. I thought I would hit you up with another one. It goes well with a castor oil base or you could do the 4 ingredient oil and just add the onion and garlic essential oils. You could also add msm and fenugreek to this to make it a boss hair growth oil....

READY MADE ORIGINAL OIL https://goo.gl/Xy5tFr

RECIPE

Ideally warm all ingredients in oil or warm oil before use then add essential oils.
Several sprigs of curried leaves. Dried leaves are better for oil preservation.
3/4 cup dried hibiscus https://amzn.to/2rbPUR3
1/2 cup castor oil https://amzn.to/2rbPUR3
1 cup olive oil
3 tbsp fenugreek seeds https://amzn.to/2jhx1rv
1 table spoon henna (Ashwaganda is a good addition as well)
15 drops of essential oils of garlic https://amzn.to/2HDuGWH,
onion https://amzn.to/2JFWJ47,
rosemary https://amzn.to/2HDuGWH and peppermint https://amzn.to/2JEWvu1
(Optional but a great growth booster 1/8th tsp msm - to be increased with tolerance https://amzn.to/2Fulu0S )

 

[Leo24Rule]

I did a hot oil treatment for 3 mins, right over that sprayed the tea, & then applied a natural deep conditioner by Eden. My hair is lovely!

 

[Leo24Rule]

I have continued to daily M & S. Going to make my growth oil now with grapeseed oil, cassia, amla, and brahmi.

Thanks for sharing but I don't know if I really want to chase this rainbow. I think I'll pass on this one. I don't want to add more products to my already huge stash either. So...yeah, no! All the best to all who wish to add this one to their routine though.

 

[Leo24Rule]

Doing my second henna gloss today.

I've been using the tea spray just fine. My hair likes it as its soft.
Tonight I'll use the oil for the first time to seal and tomorrow for scalp massage. I couldn't find my aloe vera powder so I opted for aloe vera juice instead. I hope that works just as good.

 

[Daina]

After having straight hair for 3 weeks I am going to cleanse tonight and do a cassia gloss. Can't wait to return to my curls. Because I'm starting late tonight I will probably just wet bun in the morning. Going to use my CP oil on the scalp and underneath my SB blend.

 

[Leo24Rule]

Omg! I love the ayurvedic oil I made! My hair looks wet but isn't = moisturized.

I did the LCO method last night & today. No frizz or flyaways. My hair likes that over LOC method.

[Leo24Rule]

I'm really liking the CP oil and tea spray. My hair feels transformed like doll or wig hair.

 

[Leo24Rule]

I wonder if during the summer months I could co-wash daily alternating with fenugreek, amla, hibiscus, & brahmi daily without any problems?

Hmmm, I think your hair would probably suffer from Hygral fatique. This is when the hair is kept wet too long/often resulting in weak hair susceptible to breakage and damage. Maybe try every other day first and see how your hair handles that before diving into every day.

 

[Saga]

Got back to using my oil after taking a little break It's much easier to access my scalp now that I have individual crochet faux locs in. I only do the oil in the morning as I do my skincare routine. I just want to be precautious and protect my skin from breakouts if need be. We'll see if I get any results one the summer months pass.

 

[Leo24Rule]

Are any of y'all using full length henna in addition to the glosses? I was thinking of doing henna every 6 weeks.

So right now:
Week 1 gloss
Week 2 deep condition
Week 3 gloss
Week 4 deep condition
Week 5 protein treatment/shampoo
Week 6 full henna
**Weekly hot oil treatment

Week 5, 6, or 7 shampoo (depends on build up)
Week 8 full henna

What is your current protein treatment?

 

[Leo24Rule]

Good hair routine.

My protein treatment is a light one using mayo. I think once I include the full henna treatment in conjunction with CP hair tea spray & oil I won't need a protein treatment since henna acts like a protein.
Why what protein treatment do you use?

Week 5, 6, or 7 shampoo (depends on build up)
Week 8 full henna

What is your protein treatment?

Why what protein treatment do you use?

I alternate between Aphogee 2 Min reconstructer (I use the 2 mins to cleanse another section) and the B.B. Green Tea Rinse. While the tea leaves my hair strong, I don’t use a deep protein treatment (though I do have one UBH). So far I’m maintaining a good balance. But i don’t know if a deep treatment will be beneficial or cause serious damage.

 

[Leo24Rule]

@TamaraShaniece I'd say don't use the deep protein treatment until you run out of the Aphogee 2 Min Reconstructer because that's too much protein and since you said you're maintaining a good balance then there's no need to add it now.

 

[Leo24Rule]

I've somewhat been slacking when I got sick 1.5 weeks ago. I was only using CP tea spray, my weekly hot oil treatments, and deep conditioner treatments. As of yesterday I did a deep conditioning treatment adding ayurvedic powders because I was so lazy. In addition, I made new batches of the CP tea and oils. I managed to include fenugreek in my henna deep conditioning treatment...IT STINKS!! At first I thought it smelled like maple syrup; that is a good scent, but as time went on I have a lingering sent of curry.

 

[sunflora]

I was up watching Curlyproverbz at a ridiculous time last night (I felt like crap and had nothing else to do). I realized I can fit a lot of her methods rather easily into my regimen. I have a lot of ingredients already, and only had to purchase fenugreek and rose powder (I'll often substitute henna for rose to avoid protein overload). I'll probably just use henna once a month since I plenty of LUSH henndigo bars at my disposal.

1. What do you hope to gain from trialing a CurlyProverbz-based regimen? LONG HAIR
2. What products or mixes do you intend to use? Modified CurlyProverbz gloss, hair tea and growth oil, as well as ayurvedic shampoo bars.
3. How frequently will you cleanse your hair? Once a week, as I currently do.
4. How frequently will you apply your various products, mixes, etc? I will use gloss once a week as a prepoo, growth oil every day / every other day depending on how my hair takes it, and the tea 3x a week.
5. How frequently will you trim or search and destroy? I will trim very 6 months. My next trim is set for September.
6. Anything else you'd like to share? I sure hope this works :3

 

[sunflora]

I tried out my first ayurvedic wash day today. My hair feels SUPER strong, but we'll see how it feels once it dries.

I used the gloss with 1 tbsp amla and 1 tbsp henna, grapeseed oil, herbal essences conditioner and honey (I'm just going to be using up old condishes for these since I'm doing the budget version). It didn't make as smooth as a paste as hers did until I added the melted raw honey.

I followed with Jakaela's Bea Vert shampoo bar, which I'd been waiting to use. It gave my scalp a nice tingle. I've cut one half up and diluted it in a liter of water, which I'll then pour into applicator bottles for my future wash days. It was very potent which is why I decided to dilute it. It should last me for a year, I think.

I have her matching DC but I decided to use a sample of Nightblooming's faerie dust, which has amla, burdock root, marshmallow root and some other good stuff. I mixed this with my Raw Sugar DC and it made a pretty purple paste, but rinsed out greenish. I think this may have been a bit too much protein/herbs, as my hair didn't feel as silky as it usually would after Raw Sugar. The faerie dust also rinsed out pretty gritty, so I don't think I'll repurchase. I'll use plain Raw Sugar or start using the aforementioned DC.

I finished with a sample of Meadow tea that I got from Belle Bar with another powder that I still haven't used. I LOVED the way it made my hair feel. I have enough left in the bottle to use it later on in the week, too.

I added my homemade leave in (any conditioner, water and vegetable glycerin, I still had QUA organics white tea ginger in but today I added a bit of the sample conditioner bar I received from Jakaela) and sealed with Rose oil from The Innate Life, then put my hair in four braids and put on my fleece towel/hat as usual.

One huge lesson: I'll have to wash my hair in the kitchen sink instead of the bathtub like I'm used to doing. Cleaning out all that green crud is a mess! Not sure how I forgot about that.

I get to make my oil Monday once my fenugreek seeds and vitamin c powder get here, so I'm super excited about that. Now that I have all the supplies (which were already inexpensive), this is an extremely cheap regimen. I may have to buy more henna and amla since I'm using my old boxes I had already tapped into, but that's less than 10 dollars for both. That should take me through the six months, and I'll probably only need to purchase DC in that time frame. The idea of not buying any new hair products for 6 months is almost scary to me, but my wallet will be happy!

 

[Sally.]

I did a hot oil treatment for 3 mins, right over that sprayed the tea, & then applied a natural deep conditioner by Eden. My hair is lovely!

what oil did you use for your hot oil treatment? and how long did you sit under the dryer? did you shampoo after?

i've never done a hot oil treatment before, but i prepooed overnight with evoo/coconut oil once and my hair felt amazing so now i'm interested in doing a hot oil treatment. but the one time i did it on my relaxed hair, i just remember my hair feeling gummy.

 

[sunflora]

Made the oil today, but used Rose instead of henna. Smells way better than my previous henna mix.

 

[sunflora]

Also as a note, rose powder makes an incredible anti-frizz treatment. I was at first trying to make a leave in as usual by mixing conditioner, water and veggie glycerin, but got curious and added rose powder. It turned out a runny pink mess and I instantly regretted it, but I had already gotten as far as putting it in my hair so I had to commit. I kept it under a baggie for about an hour and was very surprised when I rinsed it out. As a note, I did rinse out with cold water.

The results were shiny, defined curls. Should have taken a picture but I went ahead to trying out a stretched style again since I was so excited about how my hair felt. I think the veggie glycerin was definitely part of the results, though.

I'm still experimenting with DCs, but one I use up the stuff I've paid for I'll definitely be making something with rose powder.

 

[Leo24Rule]

Hi Sally!
I do my hot oil treatments the lazy way.
1. Boil water on the stovetop, insert oil applicator bottle with CP oil.
2. Let oil applicator bottle sit in the mug of hot water for 3 minutes. When I remove the oil applicator bottle I let it stand for 1 min. before use.
3. Allow the oil to penetrate my hair strands for 30 minutes under a shower cap.
4. Then I apply my deep conditioner right ontop of the hot oil treatment. Sometimes I use plain regular deep conditioner or I add ayurvedic herbs to my non-protein deep conditioner with either henna, amla, aloe vera, and fenugreek or just cassia and fenugreek. Depending if its henna I would have let my mixture sit hours prior to use and leave on my hair for only an hr. and I still get color deposit OR I let my cassia mixture sit 30 minutes and allow it to sit on my hair for 30 minutes.
5. Rinse with water only or if you have left behind granules then use a non-protein conditioner to co-wash.
6. Style as usual.
That's it! Hope that helps

[Leo24Rule]

Currently have CP oil on my hair as it's running down my face. Just 11 minutes more before I top it with a non-deep conditioner mixed with cassia and fenugreek powders.

 

[sunflora]

Still working on getting my hair gloss the right consistency. The oil causes the conditioner and powder to clump. I added honey like I did last time but I think I have to add it in a certain order too. Should I be adding water?

I use Rose/Hibiscus, olive oil, Herbal Essences conditioner and a little bit of melted raw honey. Today I heated up the oil and honey together before adding it to the rose powder, which blended nicely. When I added the conditioner it kept separating.
