Well 2 days ago I was going to post my Love/hate relationship with the Black Tea Rinse. I really love what Black tea does for shedding. I have consistently reduced my shedding by 50% but my hair is scary dry afterwards. On top of this, the spring/summer heat is literally frying my hair despite all attempts to keep it covered and moisturized. I have increased my Cowashing, GHE, and bagging to help but this was only a temporary fix. Within minutes after I take my hair out of the bags it's dry again....

For the next 8 weeks I will
1. Mudwash 1x a month.

2. DC with AO Rose Mosqueta, Blue...
