so far I have dc'd w/sukesh and rinsed w/acv, fenugreek tea and green tea. my hair hated the green tea. the fenugreek i have to try again and the acv is a winner; instant detangle super shine moisture retained well.

today I am doing henna mixed w/eden bodyworks jojoba monoi dc. also figured out how to add a pic so i will be officially joining later tonight

i will also be using amla powder, prepooing w/amla oil and rinsing w/marshmallow root

Today I did a coconut milk based prepoo (makes my hair/new growth feel good but man is it messy). I forgot to pick up coffee filters so no coffee rinse tonight but I did do tea under my DC and a tea/avj final leave in rinse.
 
Decided to lay off trigger for a couple of weeks so will massage jar of joe in every other day. Used some today as my C in LCO...
 
Will do my Tea Rinse. Didn't brew any Coffee for this Wash-Day. :ohwell:

Sitting under the dryer with Alter Ego's Garlic Rx. Will Steam in a bit.

Once my Hair Dries, I'll use Liquid Gold's Ginger Hair Creme:lick:
 
For my Next Rinse I am steeping: Black, Hibiscus & RoseHips with Saw Palmetto.

I will also brew some Columbian Coffee to Steam under my DC'er
 
Tea under my dc now. ..coconut milk, coffee and tea mid wash rinse and leave in rinse of tea and avj.
I have not skipped using coconut milk since the first try. I will continue to use it with each wash until I relax at 16-18 weeks post. Then I'll reintroduce it when I'm about 4 weeks post.
 
Doing a Coffee Rinse under Enso Natural's Sea Buckthorn

Will do an ACV Rinse to lock everything in and finish up with a Tea Rinse with my Leave-In
 
Peeking in. Waiting for my takeout at a Thai restaurant with nettle, Burdock and oolong up under my AO DC. :lachen:

It's a cute hat tho...:)
 
I got a pretty japanese tea container! Now I can mix all of my tea's in there and then just scoop whatever I need out instead of open individual baggies. YAy!

That Oolong & Burock Root Combo sounds good. I brewed Oolong tonight for next wash day.

Next time I will drop some Burdock Root in there.:lick:

Ooo. Did i mention i found FRESH burdock root in the produce section of whole foods? I slice off pieces and infuse in distilled water.

Yes it is really strengthening and softens too. I also added oil to this rinse. Olive and grape seed.
 
Ladies how long would a peppermint and Chamomile tea mix last in the fridge? I made it a few days ago and haven't had a chance to use it. Also getting my hair flat ironed today so it will be a while.

When I was Refrigerating mine, I would keep it at least a week or about as long as I would keep Iced Tea. If you have it in a Sealed Container, you should be good.
 
Thanks!

A friend gave me a chamomile/lavender blend this weekend. She said she didn't like the taste...I was thinking I don't care about the taste! I will probably use it next wash day.
 
I oiled my scalp and hair with amla and brahmi oil this morning and put it in a bun.

I plan to cowash and do a tea rinse tonight. I want to get a few tea rinses in before putting my hair in a protective style this weekend.
 
Is anyone doing these rinses on a regular basis with a sewin ?


I was doing really l good about using tea rinses in place of shampoo up until getting an install. I would like to start back, but it just seems iffy.
 
I washed my hair and by accident I forgot to tea rinse. So after I re-wet my conditioner, I used my rinse (green tea, chamomile, horsetail, moringa and nettle) and my hair was so soft. I was in love a lot lol.

I don't want to use moringa again because that tea isn't cheap, so I will probably omit it or find another alternative (thinking of oolong or jasmine, something more herbal versus caffeinated) and repeat this.

Didn't ever wash the amla/brahmi oil out on Monday, was too busy so last night I put more amla/brahmi oil on my hair and scalp. This morning I shampooed it out did tea rinse with (fenugreek, nettle leaf, slippery elm, marshmallow root, and AVJ) let that sit for a few minutes then put MD Coconut Apricot Creme Conditioner on top now I'm under the dryer for 15 mins.
 
Going to shampoo, condition, and rinse with green tea and coffee. Will apply a regular conditioner after my tea/coffee rinse as my main leave-in (I always use regular conditioner as a leave-in). Cant wait to stock up on lots of herbs, teas, coffee, and Ayurvedic powders. This Spring I promise to be more consistent with using those items and tea rinsing my daughter's hair as well as mine. :yum:
