[MaraWithLove]

I'm gonna make a green tea rinse for use tomorrow! I may also do a coffee rinse!

It's almost 3 o clock in the morning here and I can't sleep. The reason I think this is is because I did a tea rinse earlier. Has the caffeine seeped in to my hair follicles which is what is keeping me awake? Can this happen?

melissa-bee. Yes it can I remember doing a coffee rinse and all I know was I felt high

 

[melissa-bee]

Lawd, I only drink green tea so I'm probably sensitive to caffeine now. This is also my first tea rinse since like 3 years ago. I'm going to make some warm milk.

@melissa-bee

Caffeine contained in both Coffees & Teas act as a Stimulant. So, I am sure it had that affect on you.

 

[melissa-bee]

Wow, I had like 4 hours sleep out of a possible 7.
I don't know how I can do tea rinses if I mostly wash my hair in the evening. I'm going to have to go gym in the morning morning and do my tea rinses in the afternoon.

Doing my first black tea rinse today!

@melissa-bee, if you shower and wash your hair at the gym, you can bring your tea in a water bottle and use it there. Hell, I've been known to tea rinse AND put my DC on top and sit in the steam room a few. My goodness, it makes such a soft puff! And you wont have to worry about the caffeine so much.

Getting Ready to do a Tea Rinse (Leave-In) with Saw Palmetto

And getting ready to brew: Burdock Root & Nettle for Friday.

 

[lamaria211]

So I just rinsed our my DC with my black tea underneath my hair feels soooo soft (it also felt soft when I was pouring the tea on) I think ill add black tea rinsing to my weekly reggie from now on

 

[Nix08]

Made a tea overnight with amla and bhringaraj powder...used that as part of my steamed DC....talk about moisture overload My hair feels THICK. Also used my tea blends in my wash and my final rinse.

Nice Blend. I might to do a similar one next wash day. I have the bolded ones.

Maybe I'll add Catnip, Horsetail, Green or Black in my Blend.

spritz spritz spritz daily! think I will make a special blend for the next henna application

 

[Babygrowth]

If its okay I would like to officially join now. I only have Claudies Moisturizing Q&C cream at the moment but I love this stuff and I use it 3x a week. I definitely want a tea rinse but shipping is ridiculous for one item even with a discount. So maybe I need to make it myself but I SUCK at making tea. Maybe since its for my hair and not to drink it won't matter but any tips as to how to successfully brew my own tea rinses would be great. I would like to try it tomorrow.

ETA: I forgot about Njoi creations on etsy so I just ordered her herbal tea rinse and her green tea creme!

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Babygrowth

I boil my water. Put in 2-3 Tea Bags and turn off the stove and just let it sit.

I do steep it several days before I use it.

I remove the bags and pour.

*tis all*

Thank you for the tea brew for dummies version! LOL! That sounds easy enough. I will do that this weekend. Solmeone mentioned lipton black tea so I will find that.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Babygrowth

I bought Lipton's Black Pearl Tea. They have it in the Grocery Store.

 

[DarkJoy]

MmmMmmMmm

Made some marsh root and flax gel. I threw in way more marsh than I have before. Niiiice hold and definition. The marsh gave a lot of slip for finger styling my wash n go... woohoo!
