Crowning Glory Coils and Kinks Ayurvedic Hair Growth Oil!

I am launching an Ayurvedic Hair Growth Oil line for those with natural and processed hair.

Some of us have fallen prey to thinning edges, limp coarse hair, and have tresses that lack lustre!  We may have the remedy for you!

We have infused some of our favorite oils like:  Olive, Grapeseed, Coconut, Jojoba, Neem, and Avocado oils with herbs like:  Alma, Brahmi, hibiscus, feeugreek, curry leaves, champaca seed, ranawara, and vembalam bark.

Our infusion starts of by using organic and as naturally processed oils as possible.  We then add our herbs and hibiscus into the mix and solar (sun) infused these healthy and rich herbs and oils for six to eight weeks.

Oil can be used in hot oil treatments, shampoos, conditioners and massaged into the scalp.  Due to the richness of the Ayurvedic Hair Growth Oil, a little goes a long way and can be used two to three times a week for shine and refreshing your scalp while daily styling your hair!

We offer our Crowning Glory Coils and Kinks Ayurvedic Hair oil in 4 ounce bottles at $9.25.

Natural Hair Pomade Recipe

Ingredients:

2 oz. Castor Oil

2 oz. Coconut Oil

1 oz. Beeswac

1 Clean/Sterilized Container

1 Double Boiler

Instructions:

First, sterilize your container and lid with rubbing alcohol and set it aside for later use. Prepare your double boiler. If you do not own a double boiler, make one by putting a small pot on the stove with about an inch of water, then place a heat-safe bowl in the pot. Use a bowl big enough to rest in the pot without touching the water at the bottom.

You will then melt an ounce of beeswax in the bowl. I use Frontier Natural White Beeswax Beads from iHerb.com. Once the beeswax has melted completely, add your castor and coconut oils. At this time, you may want to add an essential oil, of choice.

Heat thoroughly and stir to the bottom of the bowl. Before it starts to set, transfer the warm pomade to your sterilized container, that you set aside earlier, and place it in the freezer uncovered to cool.

Side Note If the pomade cools down gradually, you will end up with granules in your pomade and you will have to warm and emulsify longer before applying.

Freezing the pomade will cause it to set up quickly and which will result in a smooth pomade.

If you like Oyin Handmade Sugar Pomade, you will LOVE this recipe. The two are extremely comparable in appearance, texture, and performance.

Oyin Handmade Sugar Pomade Recipe

You can stretch your Oyin Handmade Sugar Pomade by just adding a tablespoon of Oyin's Burnt Sugar Pomade to a bowl and melt it down with the two oils. You will get the smell you love and the same basic product at a fraction of the cost.

Ingredients:

1/2 a Cup of Flaxseeds
6      Cups of  Water
1/2   Tablespoon of marshmallow root for a level 3 hold (or up to 2 tablespoons for a level 10 hold)

Optional:

1/8  Teaspoon of Lemon
1/4  Teaspoon of Honey 
1     Tablespoon of coconut oil (mix very, very well to avoid clumping when it is cold)
1/2   Tablespoon of Aloe Gel
1      Tea Bag of Green Tea



Directions:  (will take anywhere from 7 minutes to 12 minutes)

Information illustrated by:  http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Flaxseed-Hair-Gel

Steps

1. 
   1
   Assemble the "Things You'll Need". These are listed below.
   Ad

1. 
   1
   Soak the flaxseeds overnight. This increases gel yield, increases ease of straining, and reduces cooking time. (This step is optional.)
2. 
   2
   Combine the flaxseeds and water in a pan over high heat, stirring occasionally. Add Epsom salts, although this is also optional.
3. 
   3
   Stir gently and constantly when the mixture starts to boil. Reduce the heat to medium when the mixture's consistency turns into a thin, foamy jelly.
4. 
   4
   When the seeds remain suspended in the jelly instead of sinking to the bottom of the pan, turn off the heat and drain the mixture through the strainer into the bowl.
   • Note: Rinse the pot immediately, as cleaning it later will be difficult if you don't do this.
5. 
   5
   Add a preservative after the mixture has cooled slightly (optional). Add any desired ingredients, such as essential oils, aloe vera gel, oils, and butters.
6. 
   6
   Whisk the mixture to combine ingredients and break up any clumps. The gel should be about the consistency of egg whites.
7. 
   7
   Pour the mixture into the container. Your gel is ready to use. Store in the refrigerator for maximum shelf life.

This recipe will last approximately two weeks, if left in the refrigerator and a few more weeks if you add preservatives.

Rosemary and Rosewater Moisturizing Flaxseed Gel

I came across this wonder natural hair gel recipe by You Tuber Debborah Cooper and wanted to share it with my subscriber and readers.  Debborah Cooper's blog 

Flax Seed Gel has been used and is used by many women of different ethnic groups across the board.   Flaxseed gel is 100% natural, contains Omega-3, can be made extremely cheaply and is very moisturizing for your tresses.   I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Ingredients:

2 Cups of Distilled Water
3 Tablespoons of Whole Flaxseeds (Golden or Brown)
1 - 2 Teaspoons of Fresh Rosemary Leaves
1/3 Cups of Dried Rose Petals and Stems
3 Tablespoons of Aloe Vera Juice

Cook over medium heat for 10 - 12 minutes.  Stir frequently and until seeds are suspended in gel.

The Benefits of Rose Water:

• It has exceptional stimulating properties and therefore, it can be used as a home remedy for treating hair loss.
• It has natural moisturizing and nourishing qualities that helps to recover the quality of your hair.
• Pure rose water, purchased by you from any reputed shop, is made up of rose oil and distilled water. Alternately, it can be prepared by soaking fresh rose petals in purified water. Hence, there are no artificial components and this natural product does not have any side effects (except an individual sensitivity to roses that might be likely).
• On account of its innate healing properties, it is useful in treating mild scalp inflammations.
• It has been found to be effective in treating dandruff that is caused mainly by fungal infections.
• It is known to make the hair strands stronger and thus, it helps to minimize hair fall.
• It imparts a delicate and lingering fragrance to your hair, thus giving you’re a refreshing feeling.

Ingredients cooked for 6 minutes

The Benefits of Rosemary:

Rosemary is thought to prevent thinning hair and hair loss. It fights against premature graying and can gradually darken existing gray hair. The oil is beneficial for dry, flaky scalps, and as such is a great remedy for dandruff. The oil is most notably used for stimulating hair follicles and consequently improving hair growth.

This gel should be kept refrigerator and will keep up to 14 days.  Can be applied to hair while damp or dry.
Of course, this recipe can be tweeked to best meet your hair care needs!

Wake Up Your Hair With A Cup of Coffee!

Enhance Your Hair Color with Cafe

Have you ever thought about waking up your tresses with a cup of coffee?  Well, you might want to add that to your list of hair recipes.  

I was reading Naturally Curly's blog and they were examining alternative uses of coffee and I learned that brewed and ground coffee can both be used for hair and skin!  

So, before you throw out your grinds from your coffee maker, let's examine alternative uses for them!  

You can use strongly-brewed coffee grinds for a hair rinse or soak.  This will add shine, deepen and enhance your dark natural or colored tresses.

What You Will Need

1/2 Cup Triple Strength Black Coffee (Cold)

1/2 Cup Leave-In Conditioner

3 Tablespoon of Non-Alkanized Cocoa Powder

There are two options to obtain the benefits of your coffee grinds:

Rinse

1. After letting a cup of coffee sit and cool, pour the contents of the cup through your tresses while in the shower, or while standing over the sink.
2. Lightly absorb the excess with paper towers, or cloth of your choosing.
3. Put hair up and cover overnight with a plastic cap.
4. Finally, rinse your hair until the water runs clear and dry as usual and enjoy your enhanced color.

Cafe Conditioner

1. Take your cooled down coffee grinds and mix them with your favorite oil and conditioner.
2. Apply mixture to your hair.
3. Cover your tresses with a plastic cap for 25 - 30 minutes.

For a deeper toning effect, you can add cocoa to the mixture.  For those of you who Henna, this mixture can also be used in your Henna preparation for darkening the copper-tone of the Henna.

Next time your drink your next cup of Joe!  Remember, to wake up those tresses!
