I'm in! I will be using various teas under deep conditioners. I also have Claudie's hair tea spritz that I will use from time to time.

I'll also be using ACV rinses or AV gel at the end of my wash day regimen.

Off to make something for this weekend's wash day.
 
I did a Burdock Root Tea Rinse yesterday and it was quite lovely.

Normally I've been mixing Burdock Root, Marshmallow Root, Slippery Elm, but this time I tried the Burdock Root by itself and was quite pleased.

Next time, I'll do the Marshmallow Root and/or Slippery Elm alone and test the results using each of them individually, instead of mixing them.
 
I cleansed with a cocoa & rhassoul clay bar from Bobeam. I also dc'd with the Bentonite & Rhassoul Detox Hair Mask from J. Monique's Naturals. Additionally I cowashed with Honey's Honeymade Knot In My Fro Joe.
 
OK...I'm sold on green tea rinses. Usually, hair is all over my body and hands as I cleanse and style. But I experienced very little shedding yesterday, and I've been using it for less than a month. Hopefully it's also stimulating growth, but less shedding is enough of a reason to keep using it.

Yesterday's sodium bentonite/coconut water mix was so creamy and my strands loved it.

I will update when I get home and can check. I know I use Celestial Seasonings and Bigelow (one bag each), but both brands have several green teas.

They are both caffeinated because I read somewhere that the caffeinated tea had something the decaf did not (or more of it).
 
I've been slacking, but in 2016 I plan to use bentonite clay, rhassoul clay, my DIY cassia oil, my DIY coffee oil, my DIY horsetail oil, AVJ, ACV (for my scalp), henna and the mountainroseherbs pre-mixed hendigo. I'll be doing this inbetween box braid installations, but I'm not sure how often I'll be doing these.
 
Has anyone ever used orange peel powder on their hair? I use it regularly for my skin (to clear up pimples) and I've heard that it can be used to soften hair. I might put a few spoons in my conditioner the next time I wash my hair.
 
I would like to join.....I just recently got back serious about my journey, after quite a few set backs I am back to doing what worked from me before and Tea rinses was on of them.

I'm not part of this challenge (yet) but I did read that green tea is better as black is quite strong? and too much can tip the balance, causing further shedding. Personally I now avoid black tea on the scalp. I will provide the source when I find it in my bookmarks.
