I thought you migtha' thought you were in the Oils, Grease, Pomades Thread, so I wanted to make sure you were in the Right Thread.....

I had to help you get that Shopping List right.

 

[felic1]

We are in an oil slide? Slide to the left, slide to the right, criss cross......Yall are so funny!

 

[Luprisi]

Does anyone use CCs naturals tea bags? I got a few today but I don't know how many cups of water should I use for a tea bag. Also, do you deep condition on top of the tea?

Thanks in advance!

felic1 - I was trying to be - but IDareT'sHair stopped my slide (oops I mean roll) I thought I could slip a new Ayurvedic oil up in here but IDareT'sHair ain't havin' it.

***ilong tiptoes over to the oil, grease pomade thread***

I haven't used CCs Naturals Tea Bags but I've used other brands and I typically steep 1 cup per tea bag unless otherwise directed or the bag looks larger than a regular tea bag. (I like my brews very strong so I'll usually steep them overnight. And I'd guess you could control the potency by duration of steeping.)
HTH!

These are a little larger than average so I'm assuming 2 cups would be enough.

Girl...Hush. That Twist-Out turned out thebomb.com!

Especially for your 1st Time. You did a Great Job.

Really Nice. 2nd Day Hair will probably look equally as pretty.

I have an 'all but the kitchen sink" brewing for my DC/Rinse blend:
Ashwagandha
Bhringaraj
Nettle
Bamboo
Slippery Elm
Fenugreek
Marshmallow root
Lemongrass
Lavendar
Thyme
Hibiscus
Rosemary
Burdock
Rooibos
Green
Oolong
Borage
Saw Palmetto
Horsetail
Peppermint
Moringa
Writing out this list makes me chuckle Can you say 'indecisive' much

 

[felic1]

This was a HAM hair do. It would have looked better if I had found the twisting product. I spritzed this mess, applied the leave in and the LOC and braided it to the head. It is so moist now and still under the bag and bonnet. Back to the drawing board!

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Did a CTAT today:

Coffee under my Moringa & Green Tea DC'er (Ynobe Shop's)
ACV Rinse (Hairveda)
Tea - Saw Palmetto with my L-I & Oil

 

[Nix08]

Used The Pomade Shops Coffee Conditioner.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Rozlewis

What do you think? I have x3 16oz of these.

Haven't tried them yet tho'. I decided to replace this with MD's Coffee & Kokum.

Saving them for Winter. They get really good reviews in U1 B1.

I also just bought x2 of the Herbal Blend Conditioners.

 

[Rozlewis]

IDareT'sHair

This is my first time using the coffee conditioner so I have to give it a little time. I have not use the Herbal Blend Conditioner yet. I am preparing for my winter routine so I recently purchased a lot of items from the Pomade Shop. Love, love, love her products. I am also placing a large order with MD and will purchase the Coffee & Kokum.

How do you compare the PS Coffee conditioner to the MD Coffee & Kokum?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Rozlewis

I have not used TPS Coffee yet. I'm just working on my Fall/Winter Stash.

I really liked MD's Coffee & Kokum. Can't wait to compare these two.

U1B1 gave TPS Coffee Conditioner Stellar Reviews.

So, I know it will be good. It looks good too.

Excited to try both TPS Coffee & the Herbal Blends. And the LinoMoist.

I also have x2 Rosemary's (and I haven't tried that before either).

Love the Peppermint. And I actually liked the Coffee Pomade minus the Grounds.

We will have to compare notes because I just purchased a lot of the pomades and I cant wait to use them. I am storing them in the refrigerator for now. I am using the Coffee and the LinoMoist. I like both so far. The coffee grounds don't bother me. When massaging they feel like I am exfoliating my scalp.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Rozlewis

I also bought 'several' especially when they had the Sale when they were changing Jars/Labels.

A combo of Peppermint/Rosemary. All in Vanilla. Haven't tried the Plumeria.

(I didn't get any of the Coffee Pomades) during that Sale.

You are right, it does feel very exfoliating.

Today will be ... My usual mix of fenugreek, marshmallow root, slippery elm, Kapur, AOHSR, sunflower oil, added some wheat germ oil this time, AVG, honey.

Yesterday, I went to Olive Garden for lunch and ordered hot tea (I was cramping and didn't want to drink anything cold). I picked the orange peach tea. It was absolutely delicious, no sugar was needed at all, but I did add some lemon. So as I am drinking the tea, I noticed how beautifully deep red it turned as it steeped. Bingo! That's the red color I wanted in my hair, so I asked the server to bring me about 5 bags. I drank one more cup and kept the other 4 for my tea rinse today. It's caffeine free so I added a couple of black tea bags to a cup of boiling water. I can't wait to see how that deep red shows up once I am done with this hair day!!!!! Once I am done with this prepoo and DC, i think I will pour the tea on, put some VO5 Passion fruit smoothie, baggy for a little while so the tea will stain my hair and do its thing.

This will be a long hair day but I don't plan on going anywhere and I have plenty of computer work to do today. Home Office/hair day for me!

Will you share more of how you made your mix. The ingredients sound like something that may work for me. tia

 

[faithVA]

I am using the tea mix I made up 2 weeks ago. I don't remember what is in it But I added a bit of glycerin, vitamin E and peppermint EO. I have been spritzing my hair with it 2x a day to see if I can boost the moisture.

I bought some moisture boosting ingredients from Ingredients to Die for. I am going to try them in water first and then if they work add them to my tea blends when I figure out which teas I am going to work with.

 

[divachyk]

I love the hint of coffee smell that lingers after using Jar of Joe.

I mix 1 tsp each of marshmallow root, fenugreek and slippery elm powders in 2-3 cups boiling water. I usually put a couple of Rooibos and black tea bags in there as well. Cover, let it sit overnight so the powders can absorb the water well and make the mucilage that provides the slip we love so much. On wash day, I mix about 3-4 tbs of AOHSR with about 2tbs each of honey, AVG, sunflower oil. After that is mixed really well, I add 1 tsp Kapur powder, mix it well. Then add about a cup of the fenugreek, marshmallow, slippery elm mucilage. Mix it well and apply relaxer style to EVCO prepoo'ed hair. I save the remaining mucilage in a covered container in the fridge for the next wash day.

Massaged in some KeraVada Hair Oil. (Green Tea, I think?)
