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.
 
Ok I'm so tempted to go look for oolong tea....I'm trying to resist...don't really know why though:look:

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:

I had a wash day on Monday and didn't tea :( about to cowash tonight and I must tea Rinse! Now steeping with tazo lotus (green tea with lotus blossoms)
 
jprayze

I have a Tazo Zen (Green Tea) Bag, I might pop that in this evening to Steep.

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.

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.

@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:

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.
