I sprayed my hair with some marshmallow root, avj and oil before my regular m/s. I woke up with super smooth, super soft hair. :cries:

I didn't know. I didn't know. SMH I didn't know.

Now I see why y'all have so much tea. I am in for the remaining months.

Somebody should have snatched me and threw some tea on my head.

:)

I can't see any mentions on my IPhone. PM me if it is a must see. Allons y

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

When you know better You Do Better!

Welcome. :welcome2:

Glad To Have You. Now get to Rinsing...... :lol:
 
Vitacost B1 G1 Free is still going on, on the Alvita Tea(s), so today I got:

Rosemary
Saw Palmetto
Burdock Root

My:
Peppermint
Sage
Horsetail

Came earlier this week.
 
Hold up. I have a bunch of Alvita teas. I have all sorts of looseleaf teas. I need to take inventory.

I just pulled out horsetail, hibiscus, linden leaf and marshmallow root.

I am thinking that I simply steep these and cool them. I should use them as a final rinse? And do not rinse out. Right?

I will go back and read the thread.

So far are these okay? Can I steep them together? How long should steep?

@HanaKuroi

Those blends sound good.:grin: Not familiar with Linden Leaf.

But yeah, you can try different Combos to see what works good on your Hair.

I always use them as a Final.

Some folks use them under their DC'ers or with a Pre-Poos or as a Spritz or Refresher.

Some are mixing Steeped Tea(s) with Coconut Milk, Coffee, Honey etc......Some are mixing them with Ayurvedic Powders.

You'll have to see what works best for you.

I'm sure some of the other Tea-Heads will chime in.:yep:

Whew!! I got in on the BOGO sale too!! I got:
Sage
Fennel
Saw palmetto
Rooibos

ETA: HanaKuroi
I use my tea rinses under my moisturizing dc. Im afraid to use as a final rinse cus I can be protein sensitive. I catch the tea in one bowl and pour it on again; catching it in another bowl. I do this about 3-4 times.

I like to let the tea bags simmer in water with a top for an hour or so when I have time then let the bags sit in water overnight. But this is not necessary. You can just boil the water, pour over the tea bags and let steep until cooled

Vitaminshoppe in stores are also having the same Alvita teas b1g1 free, but the store in my area don't have much varieties compared to vitacost.
 
I used:
Black
Green
Chamomile
Horsetail
Burdock
Rose Hips

Then slapped DC over it. I like this method with coffee better. Might go back to coffee next week, but Im gonna miss such few hairs.
 
I rinsed with a tea blend today. I normally pour the tea over my head and keep it moving. Here lately, I've started doing a rinse & catch method. I pour the tea over my head and catch the runoff in a bowl. I repeat this method about 4 times then massage my scalp. Many of you might already do your rinses like this but this is new to me. (I'm always late to the party). This allows for more tea to soak into my hair.

I started doing this several months ago as well with a bowl and a Pyrex glass measuring cup. I repeat about 5-6 times.

Idk about linden leaf either HanaKuroi.

I caution you to try one at a time. This tea challenge is how I've found some of my allergens! I can't do lavender, rose, aloe and marshmallow makes my hair hard.
So at first, one at a time to check for reactions. Then blend once you know your hair and scalp is cool with it.

I only steep for 10 mins. Longer and I can get weird reactions, like straw hair or itchy scalp. So, experiment to see what your hair likes.

Btw, I use mine to boost DC so it gets rinsed. But then I keep a blend in a sprayer as my leave in condish since my hair can't tolerate the creamy commercial stuff.

So many ways to use the blessed teas and herbs!

I will be cautious. You know me and my allergies. I just got off a week of prednisone after a reaction to msg.

Linden flower is an ingredient in terressentials mudwash so I bought it. :) I was going to dupe the lemon one.

I read it was good for growth.

Linden Flower Rinse

1 cup boiling water
1 tsp. linden flowers

Pour the water over the linden flowers; steep until it cools a bit. Strain out the flowers.
Effect: This rinse is helpful for over-stressed, dried out hair. It is ideal, for example, if permanent or repeated dyeing has made your hair brittle. It also promotes circulation in the scalp and makes the hair grow in healthier. You can use the rinse after shampooing for up to 6 weeks.
