Coffee,Tea,ACV,AVJ & Ayurvedic Challenge 2013

I just tried a tea ei se for the first time ever and I LOVED IT! I used what I had...Lipton tea in the yellow box. Not sure the type if tea because throw the box away and keep tea bags in a sealed jar. I was a little worried at first because my hair felt hard. But as soon as I put in As I Am Hydration Elation my hair felt soft again. Bagged it and sat under the dryer for about 20 mins. Rinse combed... Maybe 5 strands of hair in my comb! This will be a part of my reggie from now on! May even buy some "special tea" to try in the next one. What tea do you suggest?

APL 2013, BSL 2013

IDareT'sHair thanks mama! I'm happy to join, although my boyfriend thinks this mix has me smelling like an indian grocery store :lol: I told him he's gonna have to deal with it until I get back to wsl :look:
 
So the new bottle I have to put my tea in is much bigger than previous SOOO I'm trying using the same amount that I would normally do then adding water (which would dilute it by 100%) and I'll see how that goes. Maybe that will be ok for my freshly relaxed hair and then I may have to go back to the richer brew for when I get several weeks post.

I"ve noticed that when I rinse with both the coffee and the tea it seems to bring up an oil or richness of sorts...I like it:yep: I then add oil and conditioner over top but it's great. I use even less conditioner now:yep:
 
My local health store and I are developing a very nice relationship. .... she just brought in some rose petals for me:yay:... good thing too. ..I've given away more than half of the 100g I initially bought online:ohwell:

I'm going shopping this weekend in china town hoping to stock up on my herbs. I did a basic blk tea rinse yesterday.
 
I ordered some - errrr, a lot - stuff for this challenge.

Today I got my order from Butters-N-Bars. It was:
  • Kalpi Tone (I know what I'll be doing this weekend...:drunk::yep:), and
  • Organic Amla 'N Aloe Hair Spritzer (stumbled across this one...looked interesting...hit paynah)
More stuff to come...can't wait. I've tried looking for stuff on the ground but haven't been very successful (found Neem, but that was it...:ohwell:). I'm not giving up yet, though.
 
Early today,used Luv Naturals trip con as a moisturizer,rubbed a Lil Ambrosia Honey Bush on top,went out-doors..(power walked) and my hair held up..still moist/soft..

*Honey Bush Hair Milk-Contains Tea


Happy Hair Growing!

spritzed my braids with my ayurvedic growth tea, sealed with mixture of mahabhringraj, linseed, and castor oil. followed by scalp massage. quite soothing
 
Broiught a tea mix and farmer market (rosemary,peppermint,eucalyptu,lavender,calendula,chamomile,rosebud,lemon verbena) i also mix in horsetail. will be brewing and mixing with aloevera for a spritz to use.
 
I think I will start with some burdock root tea and go from there. I'm relaxed and not sure how much or how to incorporate the rinses on a regular basis.
 
Will be using a Breakfast Blend (Coffee) under my DC'er to Steam with.

Will use: Horsetail, Saw Palmetto, Oolong and Rosemary as my Final Rinse.
 
I will be using shescentit Tahitian vanilla leave in as my braid spray while I have my Senegalese twists in. The first ingredient is chamomile :-)

I will also be doing tea rinses on my wash days.

Have a good weekend ladies!
 
Brewed up a new batch of tea - horsetail, rose hips, nettle, burdock root, marshmallow and lavender. Yummy
As usual I brewed a strong tea, then mixed 50:50 with avj and use as a final spritz before using my leave in.
 
ArrrBeee

another relaxed head here, using tea and/or coffee every wash day, so twice a week. I also use products with teas between washes.

I spritzed on some TeaLightful Quench, let it soak in, then piled on Curly Kinks DC on top. Have Castor Infusion oil on top (amla, brahmi, bhringraj, hibiscus) under a cap.
