Thats a good Idea, I really liked the sensation of warm tea pouring through my head, but the spray bottle would work just the same I am sure, your choice if you want to rinse with cool water, i know it seals the cuticle (cool water) so it would probably make your hair feel smoothif I brew the tea and put it in a bottle and just spray my head till its drenched and put on a cap for about and hour and rinse with cool water will that work???? also is red tea good
I've been going through this thread and this sounds like something I may want to try.
Now obviously no one said sweet tea is good for this... But a glass sure sounds good right now!!...
Can tea rinses darken your hair?
Irres- can you report back in a few days or the next time you wash and let us know if it works over the long term too? Were you planning on doing the tea rinse regularly (sounds like you were, but asking anyway)?
I'm VERY intrigued by this...
Ok so I was browsing this indian site yesterday and came across an old thread were the Indian ladies were talking about this. They said that they use black tea to combat shedding and to add shine. http://www.indusladies.com/hair-care-and-hair-styles/30898-indian-herbal-hair-tips-2.html
I am sooo gonna get on this.
Thanks for posting Iris.
I've been doing regular tea rinses as part of my routine for well over 2 years now (make my own- nettle, chamomile, hibiscus, and sage). . . but when I get lazy, I have been known to use a regular green tea bag. It has great conditioning properties.
Can tea rinses darken your hair?
Wow, I knew green tea worked for a dry scalp. I had humongous flakes my entire life no matter how often I moisturized. Two tea rinses and and I've never seen another flake again. Now I have to revisit this because I'm shedding a little more than I'd like to see. Thanks Iris!
My own blend doesn't have caffeine, but the green tea I use does. For me caffeine is the least important component, because shedding isn't a major concern of mine.
Nettle promotes growth
Sage promotes shine, growth, and strength
Hibiscus promotes conditioning
Chamomile promotes shine and conditions
girl I need to look into all these teas then
I was just wondering since so far your the only long term tea rinser, if any of them had caffeine, so that I could answer some of these questions I have
but you use the green tea only occasionally
but then maybe all this goes hand and hand and all your doing is making the shedding a non issue for you.........
I dunno, but I love ur hair
I love your hair too, Iris!
My hair used to shed quite a bit, but you're right, my decreased shedding is a result of my routine.
The easiest way to experiment is to just buy a box of each type of tea and brew them together- anything your hair doesn't like, you can drink. I think I would use green tea more often, but I love it too much to let it go to waste on my hair.
Since I buy all my ingredients in bulk I just measure out my teas into a coffee filter, tie with a rubber band and brew in a pot of hot water. I like to be difficult like that.

ur too funny!
Thank you girl....
I'm really thinking about what you said about shedding because its been an issue for me for so long, I lose way too much hair and thought it was just normal
Ive read the whole thread and the coffee thread. I want to try this because I dont like taking garlic pills. I was thinking of trying peppermint tea because I know peppermint stimulates the scalp and also because i love drinking it I wonder if it will do the same because its not a dark tea.
