Coffee and/or Tea Rinse Challenge 2012

[faithVA]

Oiled edges and crown with coffee castor oil. Really try to hit my edges on a regular basis.

 

[bajandoc86]

Spritzed hair with my ayurvedic+herbal tea blend. Dabbed 'fro with some of my hempseed/avocado mix. Will baggy overnight. <-----THIS routine resulted in a soft fluffy fro for the last 3 days, that people apparently had problems keeping their hands out of.

Side Note: Dear random persons who I only know in passing, plz refrain from touching the 'fro all willy nilly.

Tomorrow is wash day. Looking forward to my tea rinses

Yes. Hairitage Hydrations is an Esty Shop.

Haven't you purchased from them before? (I thought you had)

It's not listed on etsy yet...

ETA: Nevermind, I see it's sold out lol

I've been reading about the benefits of tea rinses and decided to get on the bandwagon.

I have tried a black tea rinse for my last two washes, but I can't really say if there is significantly less shedding or not. I'm trying to get my shedding and breakage under control.

I am really hopping that tea rinses work... how many times did y'all tea rinse before seeing the benefits.

 

[Chaosbutterfly]

This weekend, I made a batch of black and hibiscus tea, and used it to mix my cassia treatment (which I left on for about six hours) and to rinse my hair after shampooing.
Let it dry and then did an overnight DC.

As a note, I skipped my tea rinse last weekend, and my hair was a grumpy shedding mess all of last week, so I won't be doing that again.

I know I posted those ingredients somewhere? I can't find them.

I've been looking.

It has a skrong coffee scent (which I don't mind). It's not on my Invoice, because I did a Reserve Listing.

Maybe Brownie518 has it on hers. Yeah....I busted you!

I was 'tempted' to buy some b.a.s.k. Java Bean. It's Closed.erplexed

ETA: I 'convo'ed' her & ask if she was having a Sale when she reopens 02/27

 

[faithVA]

Oiled scalp with coffee castor oil, rubbed it in and sat under my heat cap for 30 to 45 minutes.

 

[beautyaddict1913]

Tonight I spritzed my hair with Njoi tea spritz. My only complaint is the packaging. When the bottle gets to about half full it starts ackin up and not wantin to come out lol!

 

[beautyaddict1913]

Is everybody in here applying DC over their tea rinses? Maybe I will try it when I steam this weekend. I haven't steamed in lord knows how long!

 

[IDareT'sHair]

beautyaddict1913

I've always had that same problem with Njoi's Tea Bottle. I thought it was just *me*

I thought maybe the "spritzer" gets clogged up. (Herbs & All)erplexed

I've always had to either transfer it to another bottle or open it and pour it on which sucks.

@beautyaddict1913

I don't.

I do slap my DC'er over my Coffee (Rinse) tho'.

My Black Tea OR Growth Tea Rinse is my final rinse right before I apply my ACV or acidic rinse.

So I do a Tea Rinse followed by an ACV Rinse at the End.

 

[beautyaddict1913]

IDareT'sHair so u cleanse, use instant condish, DC w/ coffee, then tea rinse? Or what's ur regi? Do u let the tea sit for 30 minutes?

Naw it ain't just you lol. My first bottle did it to so I just transferred the leftover to the it's perfectly natural bottle. I love that bottle! Tonight I poured some in my hands because I didn't want to transfer and it was a hot mess lol!

I got some nice Spritz Bottles from Sally, that Spritz really nicely but most of the time, I have something in them.....

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Some Coworkers in another Department had gotten a Caraffe of Coffee for a meeting and had at least 1/2 left over.

I meant to bring that home tonight (and forgot) for my Coffee Rinses. I'll try to remember to grab that tomorrow.

It's a Light Roast (I prefer Dark) for my Rinses, but it's FREE so.........

 

[Brownie518]

beautyaddict1913

I've just recently started putting my DC on top of my Tea. I'm loving it so far.
I use an ACV rinse last.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I may not bring that Coffee home (the more I thought about it).

It's more convenient for me to make by the Cup at Home & call it a day.

Instead of thinking about how long it's gone take me to use up all that durn coffee.

 

[beautyaddict1913]

Thanks T and Brownie! So y'all "splashe" the acv over your heads and rinse it out at the end? I wonder if I should start doing that??

 

[Brownie518]

That's what I do, beauty. I just pour it over, work it in for a few and rinse.

beautyaddict1913 Brownie518

Yeah beauty Exactly what Brownie said.

See, since I DC w/Heat, I use the ACV as a Final Rinse, to close/seal that cuticle up & lock all that moisture in. Since DC'ing with Heat Opens up the Cuticle/Hair Shaft.

Now: When I say ACV I use it interchangeably for:

Hairveda's ACV Phinising Rinse
Bear Fruit Hair Shine Rinse
Nexxus Ensure Acidifying Conditioning Rinse
Roux Porosity Control

Or similar product.

 

[beautyaddict1913]

Yea I know you and brownie love those phinishing rinses! Does Hairveda's rinse smell good? I'm not tryna smell like a pot of "college greens" with that regular acv lol

 

[curlyhersheygirl]

Massaged my scalp with claudie's elixir, misted and M&S with quinoa and coffee cream and a bit of hemp oil.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

beautyaddict1913 Brownie518

Yep. Collard Greens with a Splash of Herbs. It doesn't last long.

By the time you rinse it out, you don't smell anything.

It smells like Pumpkin Spices to me. Cloves and Cinnamon and Spiced Apple-y.

What you think Ms. B?

It has an apple spice scent. Not bad at all. It doesn't stay in your hair at all. And it works really well!!
