Typing this from a sleepy Friday morning a bid you hello, a bonnet atop my sleepy head. Forgive any typos please, it’s been a long week 😂

Now I’m doing this thang to make Ayurveda feel accessible to people. You don’t have to be a vegan yogi master with a PhD in sending lightning to your ex to use+benefit from ayurveda. Ayurveda is definitely a holistic system- that means it incorporates all things in life, diet, emotions, your cat, your cat’s toe beans, etc .

Personally I hear dosa whenever someone says dosha 👀 so it’s not like I’m living completely Ayurvedically. I currently only incorporate ayurveda in my beauty self-care, yet I’m still reaping the benefits. Now come, dear reader, we must hustle anon to reap the benefits together 💁🏽😌 (read: continue to the next bit of the blog. For healthy hair goals n stuff)

1) Scalp Massages

This one is first because it’s my favourite. There are few things in this world that come close to a good ‘f*** my sh** up” scalp massage by someone who has ✨the hands✨. You’ve heard it once, twice, a bajillion times but babygal if you’re not scalp massaging regularly, I don’t want to hear ‘my hair isn’t growing nywe nywe’ 🙂🙅🏽‍♀️ It’s not even that deep. Get your favourite oil, make like Doja Cat and Go To Town 💁🏽 If you have hair that gets greasy easily use scalp massage as a pre-poo technique so you can wash it out after giving it at least an hour or two for the oil to work it’s magic.

You can definitely get fancier with the oil used! Personally I have a blend of sweet almond+fenugreek that I swear by for scalp massages- drop a comment here or on insta if you’d like the recipe 💁🏽 Another of my pre-poo regulars is the Vaadi Organics Amla Cooling Oil. It really soothes an itchy scalp with its menthol tingly goodness 😍

2) Rinses

This one goes out to the girls with the problematic scalps. The ones who shed like a Wish carpet on a bad day. The ones who have those itchy scalps and can’t wear black sometimes without looking like a snowy day in Africa 👀😂 I am all of the above so this is a safe space fren 😆 Now if your hair really is not a fan of oils, hair rinses are lighter and offer much of the same benefits.

I tend to use black tea, or a blend of apple cider vinegar and essential oils. I apply my hair rinse after cleansing to my scalp, letting it run along my strands. I then go in with my conditioner to give it time to sit on the follicles until I do a final rinse with water and go onto styling. This is a simple remedy for some of those scalp troubles, and helps reduce shedding, strengthen follicles and stimulate growth.

Technically rice water is also a rinse you could use- and if you haven’t heard of rice water yet, I’m revoking your natural card because the YouTube can’t stop making videos about it 🤣 Fair warning, go in at your own risk if you’re protein sensitive. I understand that sometimes we’re stubborn. And likers of things. And even tho we know we protein sensitive we still want #longhairdontcare #ricewatermiracles #clickbait things to happen 👀🤣 If you still dare then follow it up with deep moisture treatment to offset the brittleness 😌

I’m just gonna drop all the rinses here because I’m too lui to write a whole separate post 🤣 Oat water is full of yummy benefits for your hair. I copped the secret from Marley Grey and it’s been a wonderfully affordable way to treat my hair. Bonus points for being able to still eat the oats too, unlike those Pinterest avocado recipes that require true sacrifice 🤧

If you’re a more confident Ayurveda bae, then another trusted recipe is my fenugreek rinse. I’ve detailed the recipe here. It is my wonder herb that helps wake up dormant follicles, stimulate new growth and strengthen hair strands.

That’s it, that’s the post. Ayurveda is easy and cheap. Go get your healthy hair sis.

K bye
