question: did all of you start to do this method because of shedding? I do not have much shedding but would try this process if it helps give me a longer growth cycle

I tried it because of the coffee thread

but was totally shocked and blown away by the affect it had on shedding:yep:

OK ladies, thanks for the updates. I'm on my way to Food Lion to get 100 tea bags for $1.99.

I just washed 2 days in a row, so it'll be next week before I report back!

You can also get 100 for $1.00 at walmart, I just got some this morning so I can try it tonight.
 
I tried this and i loved it! i used black & orange pekoe plus a tsp of msm and the shedding definitely is less. I've been shedding so much that my hair is feeling thin. You can't tell by looking at it but I can definitely tell when I put my hand through. Hopefully this helps me keep the rest of what I go on my head.

Thanks irresistable for starting the thread...i prob wouldn't have even thought about it if you didn't post it.:o
 
I did the treatment on Sunday. I pre pooed with a mixture of Ahpogee 2 min and SE Hair Mayo. I applied SE MegaCholesterol and left it on for 5 min. Then I used an applicator bottle to get the black tea to my roots (last relaxer 9/2/08)

After rinsing I applied liquid hair mayo and again some tea. I could COMB thru all that new growth:grin: My hair looked richer, and felt more lush. It still feels good. Tomorrow I'm going to use more tea and seal with castor oil. I'm going to do this e/o week.

I hope other users will keep reporting in.
 
Ummm ladies...is itching a good thing?? I have a tea spray mixed with some vatika and coconut oil and aloe vera and when I spray and massage my scalp as this itch. Is this a growing itch? And how do I tell a growing itch from an allergy itch? I don't know what I would be allergic to though seeing that I have used everything before..only new thing is the tea on my scalp. Hmm :ohwell:

erm , girl if you used everything before then that probably is it

I would suggest rinsing it out and only using it that way, and if you still have an itch then ditch it

allergies arent anything to play with at all

just do it as a rinse first

what tea did you use?
 
grapeseed oil and evening primose oil both made me itchy and burny

where it seems everybody else can use them :ohwell:

I never touched them thangs again
 
Keep doing it and monitor my scalp for any issues that may arise. I'm leaning towards this being a "good" itch..lol. And I will also take out the aloe vera and see... Maybe it doesn't mix well with others on my head.
 
Iris you got me in trouble!! :lachen:

I was reading about the tea rinsing yesterday, and I had to go to the store anyways so I went by the tea isle and remembered this thread. Was looking at all the nice looking teas, so I picked up Black Pearl and some Green Tea.

Got home all excited, layed it out on the counter. SO came home and looked at it, and I was excited to tell him what I was about to do (he gets excited too...but I think thats wearing thin now...lol). So I go and ask him what does he think about the teas and he smiled and said, "Yum what made you go get that?"...I said it was for my hair. Girl that smile dropped from his face so quick. And then I told him we can drink it and then he did that "noooo its for your hair" type attitude thingy. LOL. So I just plan on buying another box and hide it specifically for my hair.

I think he's had it with me and this site and buying stuff. I have to hide stuff I buy. But in the end I know he'll appreciate it. He already cant keep his hands out of my hair now.

So I'm going to try this tea thing and NOTHIN ELSE!!!! :nono::look:
 
Have any of you used parsley? I was looking over some old hair "notes" :look: from back in 2002 and I had something about parsley tea rinse written down.

I read this online: "...The powdered seeds, sprinkled on the hair and massaged into the scalp for three days, are a folk remedy said to stimulate hair growth. Parsley has also been used as a hair rinse in efforts to eradicate head lice."
 
RecipeBABY - I haven't heard Vons and Food 4 less since I was in Cali - Ahh memories, but I'm glad that I saw this post because I'm trying to read up on here and put together a simple reg. and TEA I can do... but how often do you all think someone should "tea"? If I start co-washing everyday or every other day... how often would I tea rinse?

I dont see why once or twice a week would be a problem

some I do believe are doing it daily

maybe they can chime in
 
ok This is it :grin:

I have not been shopping I have to use my regular Lipton.
So this is the plan:
Brewing Lipton (Iced Tea Specialy Blended Brew)
Set aside to cool.
Shampoo
Deep Condition
Rinse
Pour Tea Rinse over hair and work into scalp. (trying to extend my growth cycle)
Final Cool Rinse
Roller Set.

I do not have much Sheeding but would like to extend my growth cycle
attempting to get 1 inch a month for next 4 months.

Wish me Good Hair Growth :lachen:


I am fairly new here so I will take any suggestion if I dont have
my plan correct. :drunk:
 
So is this ok to use with Boudless tresses. I am a regular BT user but I am also suffering with really bad shedding. Is it safe for me to use this on my wash days????????????
 
Oh lawd.....why do I keep coming up in these threads? I've recently started taking garlic pills. I've never been good at taking pills--no matter how small I feel as if they are stuck in my throat--so as soon as I finish this bottle I have I will try tea rinses. I do have a garlic poo & condish on the way that I got from the product exchange forum so maybe if I use the tea, garlic poo & condish all on the same day? Good thing, I've got tea for days. I'm a pj in all facets of my life,lol!

ETA: Why wait? I can continue to take the garlic pills, do the tea rinses, garlic poo & condish. I may play around with stuff to see what works best so I can really identify what helps the most. I will look in to other teas too.

Well that's when we all use it(I'm assuming), atleast I do as a final rinse but I'm changing from a final rinse cuz I think it's drying my hair out. I'll use it as a pre poo instead.
 
Tea rinse is the truth y'all.I had terrible shedding which I could not tackle.I did my DC on wednesday and rinsed with green tea rinse no hair came out and I thought its only for one day.2 days later no hair on the floor in the bathroom.Thank you Iris:yep:.I will have a tea rinse every week now.I am so happy:grin:

is it just the caffeine that makes tea rinses beneficial? I want to try it and all is have is caffeine free chamomile tea right now.
 
I did my tea rinse tonight with this asian black tea. I mix a little shikakai powder in it. I got 5 or less hairs in my drain catcher tonight. Thats for 2 days since my last detangle. I am sure other shed hair came out throughtout the days. However, when I usually wash my hair, even after a couple days, I get alot of shed hair. I am like you Irresistible...I always get ALOT of hair coming out come wash day no matter what. This is what I did:

Shampoo with Dr. Bronner's Shikakai Soap - Baby Unscented (Not the rinse) - Super soft after, reminds me of the shampoo bar, I've found my staple shower :D

Tea Rinse with black tea and a lot shikakai powder, left on with plastic cap for 10mins - Still very soft but strong. I did feel like it was gonna tangle on me though.

Pour about 1.5 oz to 2 oz (I have a measured jar) of coconut in my hair.

Apply V05 Vita Burst and wash out immediately.

Looked in the shower drain catcher and almost nothing in there.

Happy Happy girl...I see this is the key to Indian women's super thick hair.
