today coffee rinsed with colombian dark roast (smelled so good, im not a coffee drinker) and threw some Toque Emergencia on top and sat under the dryer. I then rinsed with nettle....uh @IDareT'sHair, @Lita, @Ltown, Brownie518 I think I am addicted..and may need an intervention..
 
Brewed some coffee for tomorrow. Actually turned out to be Pecan Pie Coffee. Whatever that mess was weak. Imma go back and read but was someone mixing coffee and tea and doing it in one step? Look me go back and look. Anything that will cut down on the steps. I've gotten so hair lazy :yep:.
 
I made a paste out of cassia, hibiscus, amla, fenugreek, marshmallow root, and brahmi, and mixed it using a hot cup of hibiscus-earl grey tea.
The mix sat in the container overnight, and then I put it on my hair for four hours.
Rinsed it out with a couple of handfuls of HE Hello Hydration, and then shampooed my hair with Chagrin Valley's Ayurvedic Herb bar.
After that, I rinsed with a strong hibiscus-earl grey mix, to which I also added a splash of ACV.

Took a break to wash my whole shower (-__-) and then applied a DC of Joico Moisture Recovery, safflower oil, Vatika oil, and castor oil. I've been wearing it since last night, and am planning to rinse it out when the spirit of laziness leaves me, which may be tonight.
Or tomorrow.
Who knows. :look:
 
Ladies......

We are Really Coming up with some Great Combinations in this Tea/Coffee Rinse Challenge!

I'm Excited reading about ALL the Possibilities:love::love::love:
 
Well you will love this then IDareT'sHair. I am spritzing it on rather than pouring it over my head.

I will be making a coffee and green tea mix. I only drink green tea not black tea. I realized I prefer flavored green tea vs just green tea. So I have a lot of plain green tea I can use in my mix.
 
I have some tea in a jar with some hibiscus, nettle, horsetail, and amla.

soonergirl - I don't feel right if I don't get my rinse on. For real. It's been so good for my hair.

You are so right. I love the idea of Spritzing it on.:grin:

Right now, I'm using a Hairveda Phinising Rinse Bottle for my Coffee Rinses.

The Black Tea, I just pour it on.:lol:

:hiya3:

Sowwie didn't see this until now! I use it as my alternative for cayenne pepper (circulation and reduced shedding), and it also has antibacterial properties! I may be forgetting a couple things, but these are it for me primarily :yep:

I bought a bottle of "Espiritu De Canela" Cinnamon (to Fortify the Hair)when I was on my Dominican "Kick" a while back.

Remember @Shay72 It tore up my Scalp? :blush:.......:lol:

My Scalp was soooo sore for weeks. :burn:

You are suppose to apply it with a Q-Tip on areas you wish to Stimulate.

And of course, I didn't read the directions.:lol:

That Stuff Scared me. It's Uber Potent.:heated:

I poured a few drops in my Tea Mixture.
 
Started prepping for my coffee and tea rinses later this evening........so hoping that I get the same results that I did last week when I did it for the first time. This time I am recording the steps so that I can get the process down.

Sent from my iPad using LHCF
 
I did a black tea rinse this morning....I also sprayed the length of my hair with my conditioning tea (hibiscus, chamomile, burdock root etc)
 
So, I went from having one rinse to having 3, kinda really 4 :look::

Coffee and black&green tea rinse. Strong brew coffee, 2 lipton tea bags, 2 jasmine green tea bags, in approximately 20 oz of water. I do 4oz at a time on the scalp only.

Catnip/fenugreek/hibiscus tea rinse: for moisturizing. I pour this on the length of the hair and put my DC on top of it. I was pleasantly surprised how soft the hair war before even applying the DC. 8oz at a time.

Acv/herbal rinse: once I'm done with this CAT version (which I still love), I'll likely go back to my original acv rinse, which was acv, an ayurvedic infusion, SAA, and honeyquat in the spring/summer. My BF bought me coconut and rice vinegar, so I'll play around a bit with those as well. 8oz at a time.

Daily spritz: nettle, burdock, horsetail, rooibos, rosehip, fenugreek, rosemary teas in a vat of water, mixed with Fermodyl 619 and Aphogee leave-in, aloe vera juice, SAA, and ceramide oils, in a daily use spray.

I keep telling BF that we need a mini fridge to store these things; if I keep this up he might actually agree :grin:.
 
Just rubbed some HairTrigger on my entire scalp,Moisturized with kyras mango moisture cream on length,Sealed with Natures Blessing pomade,Hair back in braids & pined up.....


Happy Hair Growing!

I Totally agree about the Softness Factor. :grin:

It's amazing how soft your hair is after doing these Rinses even before applying additional products.:love:

It's truly amazing.:love:

Sure! I alternate between coffee/cinnamon and tea/cinnamon rinses but the process is the same. 1 tsp cinnamon (powder or ground bark) to about 32 oz. water.

First I brew the water and cinnamon together, making sure the cinnamon (powder) is stirred in well (make sure it isn't floating at the top in clumps.) For coffee I add it and bring it to a boil, then let it simmer for an hour, and either let it sit for awhile or use it immediately. For the tea, I use green tea, and add about 6 small bags or 3 big bags to the water when it is just about to boil, but not letting it boil. I let that sit and brew for at least an hour, and usually use it right away.

I use it right after I shampoo, pouring it over the hair right before adding my DC on top. I wrap up the hair and let it sit for at least 3 hours, and when I rinse everything out I follow up with my leave-in. Hope that helps!

:yep:
 
Update:

I have my sulfur/jbco mix on my scalp and over that is Chicoro's moisture-drenched prepoo which I will be keeping on my hair for about 1-2 hours. I will follow up with a mild shampoo - possibly KeraCare Hydrating and Detangling shampoo.

Then I will pour some Black tea/caffeine powder rinse over my hair and scalp, massage for a few minutes and on top of that I will add a deep protien treatment (KeraCare Restorative Mask) for 20 minutes. I will deep moisture condition with KeraCare Creme Humecto.

I want to also do the LOC (liquid, oil,cream) method for moisturizing and sealing. After that, I will GHE baggy overnight with this so my hair should be super happy in the morning
 
Ltown Girl I still drink my coffee lol-my DD and gevalia blends...The coffee rejects (usually something somebody tries and no one likes) are what I use to make my rinses. ;) :grin:
