You should try Claudie's. It's nice & it's 16 ozs. I forgot about HV's Hydrasilica Tea Spitz. :lick:

It's small but it packs a punch and when she has a Sale, it's very affordable.

Her next sale I will order that and her growth serum... I will also buy hairvedas but can I use that under my DC or only as a leave in spray?
 
Tonight I added brahmi powder, wheat germ oil, olive oil, JBCO, Nexxus PhytoOrganics Babbassu Mud treatment, macadamia oil, and Nupur 9 herbs henna to my SM Anti-thinning/anti-breakage mask, which has baobab, yucca, and biotin in it. I sprayed my freshly shampooed hair with black tea/coffee mix and applied the mask.

Rinsed and sprayed on more black tea/coffee and applied VO5 Moisture Milks Strawberries and Cream conditioner plus Matrix Total Results Repair conditioner on the ends under my dc cap and let it steam as my leave-in conditioner (I always use a regular conditioner or even a dc as my leave-in). Hair is soft and strong with no broken hairs on comb-out, and less than 15 shed hairs despite being over 16 wks post.
 
Using trigger all week. May alternate my sprout with jar of joe...

I like N'joi's Herbal Tea Rinse. Her's was the very 1st Tea Rinse/Spritz I tried. :yep:

It's only 4 ounces tho'. How long is that lasting you?

Have you tried Claudie's Tea? I really like her's too.

Qhemet had a really nice one. Karkady Hair Tea, But it was discontinued.:perplexed

Ltown Who's Tea Rinse LT? N'joi's or Claudie's? Brown Butter Beauty sells the Tea Bags right?

I see a lot of Sellers have Tea Bags available: Darcy's, BBB, CCNaturals, N'joi, BoBeam.....
 
applied my ayurvedic leave in spritz, sealed with oil, and did a scalp massage. At the moment, I am looking into steeping my own take on the hair trigger oil. Hopefully, the with adding the oil to my regimen my seborrheic dermaitis will not flare up and continue to impede my hair growth/retention.
 
Hi all. I haven't posted in ages but I have been black tea rinsing faithfully every wash. I recently purchased jar of Joe by hh. The coffee scent is a bit much but I have been rubbing it on my edges and nape on the night right before wash days. I got 2 jars, will try to finish one and give away the other one cause of the smell.
Reading all of these fancy blends make my plain black tea rinse so boring, lol. Sooooooo I ordered oolong, chamomile, nettle. I wanted some burdock and marshmallow, but I wasn't sure what's best: the powder, the actual plant itself or just some tea bag. I'm also interested in rose hips and coffee. But I want to take it slow. Black tea has been good to me so far but I want to expand.
One more question: I tried the hairveda red tea conditioner, and it is thee best conditioner for my course hair. I now use it every wash day. Wish it was a dc like the others. So I went back to check on the red tea satin moisturizer. I have 2 of them in my cart right now, but I am a bit confused with all the wax in that moisturizer. What do you all know about it? Yay or nay? Wouldn't all this wax create build up.
Ingredients: Water Aqua, African Red Bush (Rooibos Tea), Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Argania Spinosa (Argan) Nut Oil, Orbignya Oleifera (Babassu) Seed Oil, Vegetable Glycerin, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Oil, Lauryl Laurate, Olive Fruit Oil, Hydrogenated Castor oil, Beeswax, Emulsifying wax (Ceteareth 20), Carnauba Wax, Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Pomegranate Extract, Capsicum annum (Paprika) powder, Candelilla Wax, Paraben-free Preservative, Phthalate-free Fragrance.
Thanks for your input ladies.
 
Hello Ladies,Sorry to barge in. I'm not part of the challenge yet but really intrigued by tea rinsing. I just had my first sukesh dc and it left my fine, relaxed 4b hair in awesome shape. Now I want start tea rinsing but where do you all buy your teas? (besides the local health food store) I'm down for bags, leaves or powder bu I want to get it from a trusted source. I think I prefer to order online for the best price.



Look forward to your advice
 
naturalagain2 I see you use the brami and Amla oil. Can you tell me about it. I got a bottle from amazon because of the great reviews but I have been scared to use it. I have been trying a lot of new products lately and don't want to overwhelm my hair so I'm holding on for now. If anyone has used it can you please share your experience. It says to use a shampoo after use, but have anyone used it before co washing with success? TIA.
Here s a picture of it

I just started using both of those oils. I mix both together in an applicator bottle and apply it to my scalp and hair as a prepoo. I don't use it after I wash because of the strong smell plus the Indian lady (where I bought the oils) recommended using it overnight before shampooing the next day. So far so good. It made my hair feel so smooth! The brami WILL induce sleep. I put that in my scalp and hair massaged it in and slept harder then I usually do. I slept like a baby :sleep8:!
 
ooooo you make your own. Yall mixtress always get me lol. Mines is premixed as seen in the picture. It also contains sesame seed, neem, bringraj, and some other indian oils. And it does not stink:perplexed. I guess it is not as potent:ohwell:. Amla and brahmi are second and third though.Thanks for your reply, and let me know how it works out.

Welcome, mshoneyfly! I dont know about the other ladies, but I buy my Ayurvedic products, teas, and powders from Ebay and Amazon. There are MANY sellers on both sites with excellent reputations and feedback, so if you choose to buy from either site, just make sure the seller is highly rated. I find shipping and cost of most items to be a lot cheaper on Ebay than Amazon (lots of sellers on Ebay offer free shipping), but some items are only found on Amazon. Even drugstore.com has an Ebay store. HTH!

I've bought and sold on Ebay since 2003, and have only had one issue with a seller from China who didnt send my item, but I got my $ back from Ebay, which has buyer protection, unlike Amazon. 95% of my online buying is done on Ebay.

Misted hair with olive oil detangling leave-in spray, the applied aloe vera gel to hair (allover)..Added VO5 MM Strawberries & Cream conditioner, and sealed with brahmi oil. Put hair back into a bun for the rest of the day and night (back on a wet/damp bunning regimen for moisture and length retention).

I do have an Amazon Prime account (free 2 day shipping). I feel pretty confident with them especially when it says "fulfilled by Amazon". I never learned to use Ebay so it seems pretty foreign to me. I will def see what Amazon has to offer. Cant wait to start tea rinsing!!
 
So I used some stale coconut milk the other day:look: it still worked but didn't smell too good. I will freeze half the can in the future. Will coconut, coffee and tea rinse shortly.
 
Didn't get to do my tea rinse last week or this week. I've had too much to do. I haven't had much time. I needed my ends trimmed so I got my hair straightened and trimmed today. Lordy, my hair is growing so well. If I keep up with protective styling and this ayurvedic challenge I see no reason why I shouldn't be BSL in December. I pulled the back of my hair down and I'm not that far from BSL!!! BSL will actually be MBL for me because of my long torso.

Anyway let me stop babbling. I prepoo'd last night with amla and brahmi oil I massaged it well into my scalp and put it on the length of my hair. My hair was so soft. Then I put AOHSR on top and prepoo'd overnight with it.
 
Been doing my daily spritz of aloe under my wig. I'm switching up my PS this weekend and will be making green tea and honey spritz I've been craving to make.
 
Steaming Coffee under my DC'er.

Will also use: Peppermint, Saw Palmetto & Nettle Teas with my Leave-In.:grin:
 
Need to do a tea rinse tomorrow during my deep cw. Might also add an acv and a coconut water/coconut milk/pure coconut oil rinse.
 
Hi ladies. Does the tea have to have caffein to be effective? I've been using a tea that doesn't contain caffein but I could swear its working, maybe it's all in my head.

Sent from my iPhone using LHCF
 
Out from my month long PS and I needed to henna bbbaaadd! I pre-pood prior with vatika oil. After I washed the henna out slapped on my DC that I added some amla powder to. Will do a final acv rinse and spritz with avj homemade spritz.
 
Tea in my DC. Coffee/tea/coconut milk mid cowash and tea/avj final leave in rinse.
