Coffee and/or Tea Rinse Challenge 2012

I forested some pine needles, :yep: I am cold with it. Pine needle tea. Killed another fern, so he is going in the brew. Don't judge me. I will learn how to keep a fern alive in Southern California one day.

I stay away from drinking it.
I tired it, I got soo hot.... my pulse was racing...

while sitting in my car at a light I noticed my window was fogging up!! :spinning:
I was on my way for a physical, I was sweating..... I was ask did i drink coffee I said no oolong tea....

the Dr said some people drink it for weight lost... is that why you drank it?
I said no I heard it was good for you. he said don't drink that, your heart is racing...... :ohwell::drunk:

I kept it so.... maybe I can get my hair to race out of my scalp? :grin:

The lotus smelled amazing. I used it this am. Sprayed it in on over my cholesterol DC and let it sit for a minute. Then I rinsed it all and used it as my final rinse. My hair felt :lick: wonderful! Curls were popping and it felt soft and strong (perfect combination). I had maybe 10 shed hairs when I detangled. This was my first time using green tea and I loved it!
 
karenjoe WoW what a reaction!!! But the idea of my hair sprinting out of my scalp...that I can work with...think I'm going to go look for it today:yep:
 
DarkJoy has just frog marched me to the health food shop with my arm twisted up my back and demanded that I buy Oolong tea.


(At least she would have done if we were in the same country :lachen: :lol:)
 
LMAO!!!

Yes, ya'll...aint nothin like a good oolong rinse--AND a nice hot cup. It's REALLY making my hair grow with the drinking. I've been taking hair measurements... so while your rinse or DC with it, don't forget to sip! :lick:
 
I'm currently pre poo-ing with Hair trigga which has tea in. Later today I'll dc with oolong under my condish and use my HV tea mist as a leave-in. And of course oil my scalp with Trigga

ETA: I also added a Nettle and peppermint teabag to my oolong.

oolong tea will soon be in short supply...lol! I'm trying decide which blend to add it to. I'm thinking the dc blend.

Uses tea in a simple dc today and rinses.

How'd the oolong work for you @Bajanmum?

@Nix08, it really seems to enhance the DCs, so that's a great choice! :yep:

As an update, loving my oolong/nettle braid spray which I use morning and night. I modified the formula using less honey and oil and stronger tea. This kanekalon doesnt seem to like too much on it. I got crochet braids, in case you were wondering...

Gurlfriend, DarkJoy

You so right about the Oolong. My hair is so soft and strong. I was worried that like all other black tea, it would make my hair hard. And even as I poured the oolong over my head, I could feel my hair curling up on itself and turning a little hard. But I powered on through. Put on my DC and slathered some trigga oil on top of that. And left it for an hour under a plastic cap.

When I rinsed it all out, boy oh boy, lovely soft tresses. So thank-you for sharing your tip with us. It's definitely a keeper for me.

Jan 1, I plan to switch to Coffee *I keep pushing this date back*:blush:

@IDareT'sHair

What about doing both. I sometimes put my herbs in some hot black coffee and then allow to cool. It then becomes my herbal coffee tea :lol:

You are very welcome! :drunk: Me lurrrvs some oolong. Glad to make another addict...er convert. :lol:
 
Haven't been posting but I consistently spritz my hair 1-2x day with a tea spritz. Been mostly using Sheanatural Beauty's Spiced Apple Tea Rinse :yep:. Others in the rotation are Claudie's, Hairveda's, and IPN's tea rinses.
 
Will use Black, Saw Palmetto & Bamboo tonight.

And will Steep: Black, Saw Palmetto and Bamboo Root again for Friday.

My Oolong is on the way!:woot:
 
Still using black tea under my dc with great success. Maybe when i get brave enough I will try the other teas. You all make it sound so good.
