[DarkJoy]

I'm here! Excited for 2013! Adding Ayurvedic to my regimen!

Right now I'm using:

teas/herbs
rose petals
oolong
nettle
burdock

Ayuvedic (new for 2013)
shikakai (as shampoo)
amla
henna
neem oil and powders

 

[NaiyaAi]

I'm in! Definitely using coffee, deciding on which teas I want to use for this year, looking into AVJ.

 

[Lymegreen]

I was unofficially in the last challenge and learned so much

My staples are:
Bhrami
Bhringraj
Cassia
AVJ
Shikaikai (sp)

I've been thinking about using henna during the spring and summer but I don't know if I can deal with the mess. I've thought about adding the henna powder straight into my cheapy conditioners (gloss) to save time. Still figuring out how to make it quick and easy.

But for now I do rinses with the other powers above or pastes regularly and my hair loves it!

 

[Americka]

I am in...

Teas - Black
Coffee - vanilla nut, Colombian dark roast
Ayurvedic - amla, aritha, lemon, tulsi (still need to learn how to use effectively)

 

[Nix08]

I'm in. .. be back to list. ...

 

[WantNatural]

WOOHOO! I've been waiting for this!

I'll be using various herbs for teas (nettle's my favorite), prepackaged teas, AVJ, and henna. Planning to try brahmi, bringhraj, and kalpi tone, maybe start using my shikaikai shampoo bar again. Will go shopping at Patel Brothers tomorrow!

Oops! Almost forgot coffee! This is a must-have before I DC.

 

[Imoan]

Awesome, I already do a paste w/ Amla,brahmi powders treatments every two weeks, I also will be using the following :

Bhringaraj, amla, brahmi, mustard seed, vatika oils
Hibiscus, neem, burdock root, marshmallow root powders.

Thanks

 

[g.lo]

I am in;
tea rinse, henna, cocoveda oil and sukesh ayurvedic powder. Will post more details early january!

 

[hair4today]

IDareT'sHair you know I'm a tea head for life so count me in for this challenge. I have a ton of teas and herbs and do like to mix it up each wash but faves that I typically use are: burdock root, marshmallow root, slippery elm, horsetail, nettle, blue malva flowers, moringa, bamboo leaf, hibiscus/rose-hip and rooibos. My current reggie is to do a tea rinse layered under a light protein DC before cleansing. For the new year, I will be adding a final tea rinse of moisturizing herbs (blue malva, hibiscus, rooibos, etc) with a touch of ACV to close the cuticles and boost sheen and shine. Wishing everyone a successful, healthy hair journey for 2013!

 

[MaraWithLove]

OMG ayurveda is being added? I'll definitely be able to be active! All I buy now are herbs, teas, oils and cheapie conditioners! XD Count me in!

 

[CurlsBazillion]

I completely slacked off last challenge. I'm going to a health food store soon to explore more teas. I can't get up the courage to use ACV, I know its silly but I just can't wrap my mind around that. I want to rinse weekly then in the spring/summer three times a week after cowashing. I will be more consistent this year, I have to if I'm going to make BSL.

 

[TopShelf]

I want to join but I am not sure how the coffee is being applied. Is it a final rinse? A pre-poo?

 

[SimJam]

thanks MissT for starting back up the 2013 threads!!!! I must say that this thread and the oils thread introduced me to some products and got me using some old staples that really did my hair good in 2012

Teas
I draw my teas in water then add AVJ 50:50 ratio

hibiscus
marshmallow
rosehips
nettle
burdock root
lavender
horsetail
moringa
rosemary

Ayurveda
will start back doing scalp pastes using
amla
artitha
brahmi
will try to be consistent with monthly hennas

ACV
will continue cleansing my scalp with ACV before using cleansing cremes

Coffee
Ive never tried coffee rinses, but may add into my regimen this year, from what Ive read seems like I can incorporate into ayurvedic scalp pastes and henna to start with.

 

[Brownie518]

[chebaby]

[gennatay]

[IDareT'sHair]

Girl IDareT'sHair, you musta known I needed to find a reason to use up my ayurveda powders this year. I was just looking at all those powders thinking about how I was gonna use them up and now a challenge to help me along...

I still have brahmi, amla, bringhraj, hibiscus petal powder, tulsi, and kalpi tone to use up. I henna'ed my hair today so I will have to use up my powders when I do my cowashes and cowash with them as rinses. This should help keep my scalp nice and healthy.

I think I will have to steep them in hot water for a few minutes, pour over my hair in the shower and finish off with an actual conditioner to soften up my hair IF it feels a little stiff from the rinse.

Or I can add a little oil to the rinse before pouring it over my hair, cover with a plastic cap while I shower, then rinse it out.

Hmmm:scratchch, perhaps I will try both ways and see which one I really like and stick with that. , that's what I'll do.

I have some AVJ (I'll add this to my rinses and make my moisture drenched prepoo) and ACV to use up as well but I think I will be drinking my ACV in water to flush out my system and alkalize my body for the month of January.
