Who knew?

I was finally able to wash my braids today and boy was it a runny mess.

Next time I'm going to do it in the shower instead of in front of my mirror.

Anyway, moving on...

Now to make the tea rinse, I just added a teaspoon of each powder to a glass jar, then I poured about 2 cups of boiling water over the powders and let that steep for about an hour.

Then I strained the mixture into a spray bottle and then proceeded to wash my braids in sections.

Now I don't know if it was because I had a lot of buildup or if the tea wasn't strained properly, but I had the hardest time getting my scalp squeaky clean. My scalp failed the fingernail test, a very first for me. So I had to use baking soda to get my scalp clean, THEN use my tea rinse afterwards.

I think the next time I'm going to use a cheesecloth to strain the tea instead of my metal strainer and I'm going to let the rinse sit in my hair while I'm in the shower.

So all in all, I will definitely use Auyverdic powders to wash my hair.

As long as my scalp is happy and clean, I'm good.
