Coffee and/or Tea Rinse Challenge 2012

Ive started spritzing my hair lightly with my rosehips/marshmallow/burdock root tea and aloevera mix before I retwist for my twistouts ... my hair is loving it !!!!
 
*gives the side eye to Lita for not giving up the good earlier on rose petal tea!!* Ohhh Lita--how does it work as a rinse? My hair's in crochet braids so wont really know until I take them down next month. What's your review?

AtlantaJJ I make spritzes too. If you dont add EOs or fragrances, you should keep it in the fridge. It lasts a little less than a week. With EOs? Longer. I put so much oils in mine I dont bother with the fridge anymore. I burn through a spray bottle in a week and it's still good.
 
What brand of Rose Petal Tea are you guys using, I use one by Taylors of Harrogate China Rose Petal Leaf Tea pretty good lil expensive to me, comes in tin can about 5oz, also I tried one by Numi.. I use them to make floral water and spray on my face, really good to help keep your skin clear with a glow..

Thanks DarkJoy what kind of EO are you using in yours? I've been tempted to by Rose EO, now with all this rose tea talk, I'm really tempted! :grin:

I guess it would be okay for me to become a tea PJ ! :lol:

Imoan, I got mine in bulk at the health food store, no packaging no bags which is why my teas are so cheap. They get pricey with the packaging, but sometimes you cant avoid.

Also some are rose petal blends (more expensive?)Some packaging says Rose Petal Jasmine, or Rose petal green or Rose petal black. No probs with using those, just be aware.

AtlantaJJ depends on my mood! I rotated through cedar, rosemary, lavendar, thyme, lemon, tangerine, lime. I use fragrances too, like gardenia, rose, fruity scents.

perhaps this is where my inner PJ hides...! oh nooooooooooo!

Tea during my simple DC. Tea/coffee (and oil) mid wash rinse and final leave in rinse with tea/avj.
Brewed a new batch of my leave in rinse and added Irish Moss to it..hopefully I'll get to try it tomorrow.
Currently brewing a batch of my mid wash rinse (overnight) and all day I'll brew a batch of my DC blend with Borage added.
 
Using up the last of my oolong braid spray. Gonna steep some pure rose petal for my next spray. No need for EO or fragrances. :lick:

Well add some grapeseed and sunflower oils, though.
 
Did my Tea Rinse tonight.:lick:

Steeping:
Rosemary Leaf
Horsetail
Oolong
Saw Palmetto

For Tuesday. btw: I did order some Rose Petal Tea.:look:
 
Can you ladies believe I got fancy and used multiple teas yesterday? Oonlong, red tea, burdock rock, marshmallow root, slippery elm and moringa. :grin: I'm officially one of you now!!! :yep:

Rose Tea Review

I just finished using an entire bottle of rose tea spritz (straight, no other teas). I added like a half tsp of grapeseed and sunflower oils. I boosted the scent with a rose EO.

Use: On both my scalp, cornrows, leave-out (edges and bangs) and human hair install (type 3-like jheri curl)

It is a GREAT detangler. Worked like no other has on loosing up the naps on my edges and made the morning tangles from my hair install fall right out. On my leave-out I just "pet" the area and the kinks just fell out. The braid hair LOVES it! Made it bouncy and light feeling.

Do NOT use this expecting to get moisture/hydration. Matter of fact I found it to be a touch drying. But not enough to worry and freak out.

Gonna mix this next batch with oolong and see if that boosts the hydration. It will be around 60 (oolong) to 40 (rose).
 
Nix08 and DarkJoy, I liked it very nice. My hair felt nice and soft. A few of the teas (oolong, red tea, burdock root) were used without trying them individually first so that was risky but it turned out good, thank goodness. :grin:
 
Moringa is sold out at my local shop and they are denied any more until the new year:nono: They sold a years supply in just a couple months...I wonder who bought it all:look: :lachen:

That makes sense @DarkJoy as it is high in vitamin C....when I get mine, I think I will maybe make a amla/rose petal tea mix for cleansing:lick:

Interesting Nix08. I am gonna start Ayurvedic and try to ditch commercial cleansers and conditioners for the month of January as my next experiment.

I got shikakai as my 'shampoo' and will mix rose with that as well!

Great idea, Nix! :yep:
