Coffee and/or Tea Rinse Challenge 2012

[NJoy]

I did a coffee/nettle tea/peppermint oil rinse last night. I didn't rinse it out. Scalp feels tingly this morning.

I'm in.
I will tea rinse 1x/wkly. I use my premixed ayurvedic powders. I put a teaspoon into a heat sealable tea bag. Seal it and steep in hot water in an applicator bottle. Then I apply, cover with a plastic cap for about 5 minutes followed by a cowash.

I just picked up some black tea today. Think I might want to try this one.

@Ms_CoCo37

It really does work. Honestly, it's the best thing I've done in 2011 for my Hair.

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

IDareT'sHair, how do you use it? Do you just brew a couple of bags and pour it on your hair?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Ms_CoCo37

I Brew a Pot of Black Tea. Allow it to steep several hours or overnight, transfer into Gallon Jug(s) that I keep in the Fridge.

Each wash day, I pour some out and allow to become room temperature. After I rinse out my DC'er, I pour it on and massage it in.

Then I put away my 'stuff' from that wash day & rinse (about 20 minutes).

Or....I'll pour it on Slap my DC'er on top & Steam.

Then I do a final ACV Rinse and dry under dryer.

I've also used various Tea Spritzs that are meant to be used as a Leave-In.

I am about to tea rinse for the first time in 2012 tonight!
and DC. I think I will overnight DC

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

IDareT'sHair, Thank you for sharing your reggie! How long can the tea last in the fridge?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Ms_CoCo37

I do my hair twice a week using about 8-12 ounces of Black Tea per Session. I usually get about 6 wash days out of a Gallon (so about 3 weeks).

It stays/keeps fine in the Fridge.

I've also added:

Horsetail
Nettle
Dandelion Root
Cinnamon Bark

In this particular Tea Mixture.

It just so happens that I have horsetail and nettle stashed under the counter. I can't wait until wash day!

Girl, Yeah, Gone & Pull them thangs out and use them.

They really help make a nice blend.

 

[Chaosbutterfly]

I just rinsed with black tea...used two bags of lipton in one cup of boiling water. I let it dry mostly, and then put my DC (GVP Conditioning Balm with castor and safflower oil) on top.

 

[Aggie]

Hi IDareT'sHair, I made it over. I will have to go out and purchase some black tea for my rinses/conditioners. Since my weave is out, it will be easy to do them now.

Hmmm, you just gave me an idea IDareT'sHair. I can make my ayurvedic rinses with the tea - Oooooh yeah, two birds with one stone.

Mix it up! Mix it up! Mix it up!

No need to strain. Everything stays in the tea bag once sealed . This is perfect for someone like me who is hair lazy.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Shay72

When I went to the health food store to get my ACV, horsetail & empty cloth tea bags last weekend, the little guy in there tried to talk me into getting the heat sealed tea bags, but I didn't know how to use them (and neither did he).erplexed

He told me to take a Iron to seal it closed. I told him that was too much work and got the Drawstring ones I'm use to using.

Although the Seal-able ones had more tea bags in them, like 40 in a pack. The Drawstring ones are 3 in a pack & cloth.

 

[Shay72]

IDareT'sHair
Now you know I'm lazy and I use the heat sealable ones. I make a few at a time too.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Shay72 So how do you seal them? He told me you had to iron it shut. That just doesn't sound right.

The drawstring ones sound easiest. Stuff the Tea in and pull the string closed.

 

[Shay72]

IDareT'sHair
he's right. I use my iron. I make sure it is a good seal before using. Don't you have to strain with the drawstring though?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@IDareT'sHair

@Shay72

No.

They are very Tightly Woven. Nothing gets through. Works Great. And I can reuse them.

 

[InBloom]

I wanna join! I have a question though....

Will black tea fade my semi perm color prematurely??????

 

[Minty]

InBloom, no it won't fade your color.

 

[greenandchic]

Tonight I did an Earl Gray tea rinse. Glad to be getting back into that.
