SUNDAY HAIR

I did a garlic treatment (see last post for details) but left it in for over an hour. I then washed with Suave Tropical Coconut shampoo and applied Silicon Mix for 5 minutes and wow, my hair felt incredible! It felt soft and strong. I think it is a protein conditioner with some moisturizers. I then washed with some VO5 strawberry champagne and that added a tad bit more moisture.

Then I added my new rosewater mix and KODL. I then sealed with coconut and applied BT. I made some bantu knots.

This morning, my hair felt incredibly soft. I loved it! It was still damp so I decided to moisturize again. I applied some Mango Butter and KeraCare. I then sealed with Castor Oil pomade. Now it seems that i should have done a lot less because my hair feels a little sticky. Anyway, I will hold off on doing a henna treatment until Wednesday. I will apply it in the afternoon and leave it on until the evening. At that point, I will wash it out and apply some conditioner over night.

MY NEXT HENNA TREATMENT

I plan on doing a henna treatment on Sunday. I will do a garlic treatment for my scalp and then apply henna to my hair.

GARLIC TREATMENT - Take some garlic powder, mix 2 teaspoons with 1 teaspoon of ghee, mahabhingraj oil and coconut oil. Warm in the microwave for 30 seconds and apply to scalp. Leave it on for 30 minutes, and wash.

HENNA TREATMENT - Follow the same mix you have use din the past. Instead of putting coconut oil, use amla oil in it. The amla should help me get a brown color instead of red. Anyway, once the henna is applied over night and washed out, i will deep condition with ORS Con.

AGGIE'S MEGA TEK CELL REBUILDER RECIPE

HERE'S MY MEGA TEK CELL REBUILDER RECIPE:
can also be found in her Fotki and on pg 126 of the new MT/OCT challenge thread in the LHCF

6 oz MT cell rebuilder
1 oz grapeseed oil
1oz Jamaican Black Castor Oil
1 oz aloe vera oil (aloe vera gel can also be used)
15 -18 drops of rosemary or peppermint or lavender essential oil (or 5-6 drops of each)
2 oz BB Oil Moisturizer hair lotion with castor oil and aloe
1 Tablespoon of flowers of sulfur powder (yellow) - NO LONGER USING THIS-TOO LUMPY
3 tubes of MN (Fougera brand miconazole Nitrate) bought from www.amazon.com.

-Mix the MN with the BB moisturizer in a bowl first so it can soften a little and blend easier.


MY MEGA TEK REGIMENT:-

-Mix all ingredients together in a color applicator bottle, shake and squeeze on scalp only daily and when I'm lazy I'll put it on my scalp every other day.

-Once a week I will put the MT cell rebuilder on both my scalp and the length of my hair for 5 minutes only.

-Then I wash it out with the Mega Tek Premier Natural Botanical Equine Shampoo and put the Mega Tek Creme Rinse conditioner right in with the shampoo and leave the two on my hair for 5 minutes then wash out in the shower.

-Once a week I follow the MT poo & con with some diluted Nutrine garlic poo and con, and deep condition/treat with Alter Ego garlic treatment for 30 - 45 minutes.

PLEASE NOTE: Other oils can also be used, such as almond oil, extra virgin olive oil, safflower oil, sesame oil, carrot oil, wheat germ oil, jojoba oil, ayurveda oils and any other oils you choose. I like this recipe because it smells delish!! Also the oil will separate by the next day, simply shake again and apply to your scalp.

Another very helpful hint is to take odorless kyolic garlic supplements to combat shedding from the inside out.

HOW'S MY HAIR DOING?

On Friday, I cowashed with VO5 Freesia and then applied ORS Con while I shaved and showered. The end result was super soft hair that felt strong. I applied my rosewater/glycerin mix and then put KODL in my hair. I then applied my Keracare wrapping mousse and then applied Keracare hair creme, mango butter (to my ends) and then applied Vatika.

I twisted my hair into Bantu knots but after over 4 hours, but it failed to dry. So, I loosened out the curls, applied some more KC hair creme and my Castor Oil pomade. I then combed my hair and wrapped it to straighten out my locks. By the end of the night, I just let my hair be because it just refused to dry. Probably too much product.

Anyway, my hair retained a lot of moisture all night (I went out to Minia's bday party) and when I got home, I simply put my scarf on. This morning, my hair felt perfect! The excess moisture was gone and the locks were soft and luxurious. I'm off to apply my BT.

Oh, BTW, I think I have just about a half inch of new growth (stretched) around my head. Yippee!

SUCCESFUL BANTU KNOTS!

Yippee!!!!

I washed my hair yesterday with DE anti-itch shampoo and then I applied a little VO5 Freesia and DE Stimulations (which I need more of) and rinsed. I then applied ORS Con and my ORS COn/cinnamon mix. I think I must add some more oRS con to he mix because it is thick and tends to build up on my scalp which is not good.

Anyway, I left the conditioner on overnight an washed it out today. After washing it out, I applied my rosewater mix spray, then applied KODL, then applied coconut oil and finished up with castor oil. I tied my hair into 4 bantu knots, making sure that I tristed the length first and then twisted the length around itself.

An hour later my hair was beginning to dry and then I loosened the knots and applied DE hair cream and mango butter on my ends. I then sealed with my castor oil/mink oil hair oil and tied my hair into 5 bantu knots. I left it on for over an hour and was anxious to see my hair so I let it down and my hair looks incredible!!!! I cant believe it. The hair is soft and shiny. It looks so healthy and I know that with practice, I can get the technique perfect. I think i will do this to my hair for Minia's party. I will simply add some wrap lotion to give the curls more definition and structure.

Yippee!! This is definitely a keeper!

POST AYURVEDIC RINSE

I returned to using my shikamlaritha rinse. After leaving coconut and mahab in my hair I rinsed with the mix. I then, put my cinnamon/ORS Con mix in my hair and left it on for about an hour. After rinsing out, I applied VO5.

My hair felt good, much harder than before. I applied my rosewater/glycerin, KODL, Castor and Mahab oils. I then allowed it to airdry and once it was practically dry, I applied mango butter and coconut oil.

Today, I applied my BT, rosewater/glycerin mix, mango butter and coconut oil. My hair felt much better and had more slip to it. I think I will hold off till Thursday to add a bit more coconut oil which helps with slip. My hair looks full, and dark and healthy. However, my next wash will feature a shampoo (to cleanse my scalp), Stimulations (DE Con) and ORS Con which will sit for a few hours or even overnight. I think this will happen on Sunday.
