Other than Black Tea rinse

[gn1g]

what works to stop hair from shedding?

The more experienced ladies will respond but from what I know:
Aloe Vera Juice
Garlic
Coffee rinses

I used black tea rinses regularily for a couple months, I don't seem to need it anymore. However, I currently use Aloe vera juice in my scalp during my pre poo and daily as a moisturizer for my hair.

gn1g -- Be sure to dissolve the garlic if you use that method. I made the mistake of not dissolving it and oh boy, it was a pain to rinse out. My shedding did not stop completely, it slowed up some.

I use a mixture of saw palmetto tea mixed with garlic and a few drops of lemon grass oil, and this seems to be working really well for me.

I have taken odorless garlic pills, to help slow shedding.

I find it also is great as a moisturizer and along with some Silk Amino Acids, it helps with detangling.

Also do black tea rinses every so-often just to keep the shedding in check

@charmtreese: do you use this topically or do you ingest this?

Adding a 1/2 tsp cinnamon to your deep conditioner helps.

hot oil treatment with EVOO mixed with garlic extract.

Ayurvedic teas, Amla and Shikakai oils as prepoos also work like a charm.

^^ I was wondering if the Ayurvedic teas would work.

I use it topically. I also take garlic supplements.

Never heard of cinnamon in your hair before but I like the sound of it. I like cinnamon period. Would adding cinnamon to the black tea work also or is that to much?
