@Nix08 I wish I had a can to do a comparison

ETA: I looked it up. Roland's Brand = Coconut Milk, Water, Guar Gum (thickener)

Maybe you can switch brands

Nix08, know we've chatted offline and my coconut milk contains the same fillers. However, I got to thinking, if the coconut is working then maybe those extra ingredients isn't all that bad. I will search for one without so many fillers. Maybe GNC or Vitamin Shoppe?
 
Getting ready to Steam w/Cofee under my DC'er (Marie Dean). Will also do a Tea Rinse!

My N'joi Ayurvedic Hair Butter came today!

I use Goya brand coconut milk. It has coco milk, water, and sulfites (preserver). Nix08 and divachyk

Babygrowth, I used Goya the first few times and was in a rush the other night and picked up some other brand with additional fillers that Goya didn't have. There was a Thai Coconut Milk but I didn't give it much consideration. I'll check the ingredients on the back of that milk when I return to Publix.
 
Did a nice mid wash rinse with coconut milk, coffee and tea.... it's so good!
Final leave in rinse with tea and avj.
 
divachyk said:
@IDareT'sHair @Aggie, did you ever buy beer? I totally forget to pick some up every time I'm in the store. I need to remind myself this weekend.

Yes I have divachyk. I have already beer rinsed my hair twice since this challenge began. I need some oil to add to it though. I used to use jojoba oil but I don't have anymore on hand so will see what other oil will give me awesome shine results.
 
Update-

HH-Black Coffee Cream,gives multiple day moisture..Especially during 5-10 degree weather..This was/is perfect...The texture is very,very whipped med-thick brown Fluffly cream..

HH-Jar Of Joe,during 5-10 degree weather,I had to reapply almost daily..Anything above 35 degrees it held up...Med-thick brown creamy texture...

Happy Hair Growing!

So I usually walk fast regardless of where I am, so I go into MOM’s Market to get some tea for my weekly tea rinses and see if they have glycerin. So I am on a mission to not buy anything else but what I came for so I just walk to the back of the store where the tea is. So i set my basket down and start putting the tea in little baggies and this older black woman comes up to me and goes “i just wanted to see what you were rushin, into here to get. What you gettin tea?” and I am like “yeah!” and shes like “oh whats that for you drink it?” and I am like “no”….in a low voice “its for my hair” and she goes “for your hair? you put tea in your hair? what does that do?” so I go into explaining doing tea rinses and what I use and that it helps with breakage and shedding and so shes like “ohh cause my hair is fallin out/breakin off and i just dont know what to do” so I told her to try black tea and chamomile and see if that helps and told her the process I go through. (I wasnt about to tell her the reasons why it could be falling out, nope) So she walks away then asks me if I have ever tried Machi tea…anyway, then this white lady walks next to me and says “so! black tea in your hair?” so then I have to explain the whole process to her and then she asks what I am getting the marshmallow and burdock for and I explain to her what the tea’s do and that marshmallow and burdock or moisturizing and she is like “oh yeahhh they are restorative teas” then we get into a small discussion about how great it is to know where your getting your food/products etcetc and she was like oh cool im gonna try that tea thing.

bizzare. funny and bizzare. i was not prepared to give a tea rinse lecture in the middle of a grocery store. haha

In other news: Black, chamomile, green, marshmallow, burdock, and nettle leaf rinse this week. I just bought some rosewater & glycerin mix so I am going to eliminate the rose hips until I can figure out of that is going to do the same thing.
 
Mixing my tea blend of nettle, oatstraw, peppermint, black tea with my Amla/henna/indigo mixture.

I'm using my Honeycomb Hair Rejuvenator as a pre-poo treatment.
 
Update for the past couple of weeks :lol: I've been using my aloe vera, cinnamon tea, green tea combo and so far so good. My shedding has slowed a tiny bit and my flaky scalped has improved a bit. Now because of sheer lack of time I've been just rinsing with water andusing my teas, thats it. I wet bun every other day and keep it moving. If i have an extra 5 seconds i butter my ends before bunning. My hair has been unusually moisturized and soft. Maybe the aloe vera is helping? Who knows but I'll try and update again before March lol.
 
whatever I have left including old faithful black tea..... organic apricot, white, vanilla cinnamon green tea, etc

I'm going to try strong black coffee w a light protein on top
 
I ACV'ed last night after my DC.

And I'm gonna have to make a black tea moisturising spray to use every or every other day. I'm on hormonal meds to reduce the amount of periods I have a month...I'm losing my hair, people and my edges are now non-existent. #sadface #hormonalmaniac #cheesedoff
 
Hi ladies. I will be brewing some tea this weekend been so busy. Black, nettle, horsetail, marshmallow.
 
hnntrr

Last year I did Coffee in the Fall/Winter and Tea(s) in the Spring/Summer. So in January, I was suppose to switch over to Coffee.

But I had so many delicious Tea combinations going on, I didn't want to let them go, and tried to figure out how to do the Coffee and keep the Tea.

Normally, I would do a Coffee Rinse as a DHT Blocker and to stimulate growth.

So I started adding Coffee under my DC'ers and Steaming with it and still doing my Tea as my final rinse.

It was just a way for me personally to keep both in my Regimen throughout the Winter. More than likely in the Spring, I'll probably just do the Tea Rinses.
 
I just want to say a random thank you for this thread IDareT'sHair and all posters...the rinses (coffee, tea, coconut milk, ayurvedics) have really impacted my hair. My 2013 hair is the best hair I've ever had:yep:
 
When I wash my hair on Sunday I'm only going to do coffee under my DC this time because I want to see what it does for my hair alone. I will still do a final rinse of tea and avj. The leave in mix will be hibiscus, marshmallow root, and horsetail. I'm sad that I won't do the coconut milk but I know my hair loves it. It kinda took over the whole rinse last time!
 
Nix08 And to You Ms. Nix08 and ALL the Original Tea Heads from Last Cycle and many of our New Converts, thank you for your on-going participation. :grouphug2:

And especially thanks for all the wonderful Blends/Combos/ideas you all come up with on a regular basis.

From Coconut Milk to Beer and from Aloe Vera Juice to Bramhi to Black Tea to Blue Malva flowers and everything in between, Rinsing has had some wonderful results.

Keep up the good work Ladies!:flowers:
 
It's been a while since I posted but I'm taking my Senegalese twists out today and I'm brewing chamomile right now. :-)
