LHCF has been around for 10 years and the majority of the recipes I've used came from searching here. It would be nice to have a sticky so we don't have to reinvent the wheel but those seems to be hard to get started. I'll post what I have now and edit as I find them. I have them on 3 systems, don't judge me
The problem with this site they have character limited so more to come.

Thanks so much LTown, because I was coming in here to say I love making tea spritzes but I dont know what EXACTLY each thing does. I just know that I'll remember someone saying this was moisturizing or that was softening and being the PJ I am I went and got them lol
the first herbs I got though were marshmallow, burdock root and nettle because they were "exotical" sounding ingredients that were in my fave (at the time) products (AOHC and BRBC)

What's in it for YOU!
Blue Malva / Mallow contains a huge amount of mucilage, tannins& an antioxidant called anthocyanins (malvidin & delphinidin). It also has a complex carbohydrate, a polysaccharide called arabinogalactose (a natural emulsifying, binding and/or bulking agent), which is purported to have immune stimulant properties.
This herb is especially useful, on it's own, as a tonic conditioner for fragile, chemically damaged and hair that tends to break easily.
Why use infused tea with the Rhassoul Condish?
Hot infused tea is used to break down the conditions so you will smell the naturally chocolaty Unrefined Cocoa Butter scent as you pour the hot infused tea over the conditions.
Burdock Root is traditionally used to promote hair growth and reduce hair from falling out but it's variety of uses has made it very popular throughout the world!
The world of Organic Burdock:
The actual plant is a biennial thistle with a prickly head that would snag and catch onto any material that came near it - hair, clothes, dogs, cats you name it.
Burdock has been a favorite medicinal herb for centuries - used to alleviate many ailments. Not just that but in some parts of the world it's considered a delicacy.

Coltsfoot contains up to 10% mucilage (plant protein), plus numerous sugars, inulin, flavonoids, rutin, isoquercetin, tannin & pyrrolizidine alkaloids.
It has been used medicinally as a cough suppressant for centuries, hence the name "tussilago" or "cough suppressant."
Naturally Curly and Afro Hair Care Conditioning Combos:
Horsetail, Coltsfoot and Nettle are known as the hair care trio because all 3 are VERY rich in minerals, especially silica.
Horsetail, Coltsfoot and Nettle leaf - excellent for hair care as they contain a high percentage of natural plant Silica and Cystine.
How will it help my hair & scalp?:
These ingredients help build and coat the hair shaft while nourishing the scalp and promoting healthy naturally curly and Afro hair growth.
• Organic Coltsfoot is a medicated herb with an abundance of natural plant sulfur, silicic and amino acids.
•Organic Coltsfoot helps to heal dandruff, reduce scalp build up and is purported to strengthen the hair shaft adding sheen and elasticity.
•Organic Coltsfoot also helps to regulate over productive sebaceous (sebum) glands whilst increasing elasticity of the skin & scalp. Coltsfoot stimulates collagen production which makes it excellent for an herbal hair spritz or final hair rinse infusion.

Making an herbal hair infusion is just like making a cup of tea.
1. Take a heaped teaspoon of Organic Coltsfoot & put it in a big ol' mug or Pyrex jug.
2. Boil 500ml to 600ml of hot water
3. Pour the hot water over the Organic Coltsfoot
4. Let it brew for at least a few minutes
5. Strain the Organic Coltsfoot with a strainer so that you only have the nourishing infused Organic Coltsfoot tea and wait for it to cool
6. Pour the strained infused Organic Coltsfoot tea over your hair and use as a final rinse OR pour into a small spray bottle and use daily as a refreshing hair spritz
(note: store your spritz in a cool dry area like the fridge)

Wow, y'all are on it! I'm just getting started but I seem to be attracted to Hibiscus, nettle, horsetail, marshmallow root, and burdock root the most. I have tried cinnamon (prevent hair breakage and reduce the amount of hair that falls out), chamomile, green, and black tea. Probably won't use green or black anymore just because I like the herbals better. I also have oolong. Will prob do a cinnamon oolong mix on Tuesday to go under my DC with my Njoi rinse with avj as a leave in. I also am going to add coltsfoot because that conditioning trio is the main ingredient in my njois herbal hair rinse and my hair loves it! I'm trying to keep it simple but these postings with all of these different mixes are tempting me!

*LE SIGH.....I seriously feel like my teas are out to get me.
I just can't get it right. Or maybe I'm trying to many different things. Do you guys think I need to just try 2 first then work my way up? Because I'm just honestly throwing stuff in the pot and steeping. Also does the amount matter? If so how much? I'm sure you guys have already discussed this in the coffee/tea challenge thread, but it so much 
erplexed and me and that search button don't get along. I never find what I'm looking for

Nix08 just did a nice post on this. I think she suggested to another member to try may 1 or 2tsp of a tea and add as you go along. I use bags only so I use 8oz or 1 cup to 2 tea bags and will add a half cup for each tea bag or less if I'm mixing in avj. I think you should start with 1 or 2 teas and work your way up!

EnExitStageLeft what are you looking to achieve from tea ...that's a good starting place..moisture, silkiness, shed reduction..probably all of them hibiscus, marshmallow root, slippery elm rosemary, fenugreek and say green would. be a nice mix. Use a teaspoon or a bag to say 10 oz of water...leave it overnight and use it under your DC...I just use a spray bottle. So 10oz last a good week and I use mine daily.
I probably should have asked...what have you used so far and how?

Nix08....Just about every tea you mentioned, but in various mixtures. Your actually the reason I did it lol. I read a article on RelaxedHairHealth about tea rinses and your the one she featured. So I tried various blends similar to the DC blend you had in the article. SIGH! I should have just been patient and tried one by one. I was just so darn excited

Is this in a final rinse? I add avj ( equal parts) to my final rinse.
also if it's to leave in maybe brew for only a short while. .long enough for it to cool down.
