I'm here for this. I just took down some crochets and I'm ready to baby my hair (read: wear wigs) until spring. I followed an ayurvedic regimen in my relaxed days, can't see why it wouldnt help now. I have a lot of the stuff, but I need to buy some ayurvedic- specific powders, like amla and shikakai. I also ordered msm powder.
I plan to use ayurveda to put my mhm on overdrive. The steps are as follows:
1. acv + water OR silk- based shampoo OR DIY ayurveda-based African black soap shampoo
2. dc, either moisture based OR a henna gloss OR dc + ayurvedic tea
3. clay masque, either plain (recipe includes: bentonite clay, acv, avg, glycerin, water) OR 'plain + ayurvedic tea
4. use up my remaining KCKT, diluted with water OR diluted with ayurvedic tea OR curly proverbz leave in for kinky hair (with marshmallow root, slippery elm bark, and avg, all of which I already have)
5. gel/ styling/ whatever
I'm not entirely sure what will be in this famed ayurvedic tea
, but whatever it is, I have the large size heat n seal tea bags and intend to freeze and thaw as needed. Same for the marshmallow root- slippery elm concoction, in ice cubes and thawed as needed. I also don't know where I'd like to insert an ayurvedic oil. Maybe as a HOT, mixed into my dc, or between steps 4 and 5.
