Shi-Naturals Tea Rinse
"It's Perfectly Natural" Black Tea Rinse

I'm in!! I'll be using Shi Naturals Tea Rinse for Growth. I'll eventually get the one with ACV also and put it into rotation.

I'll be using Marie Dean Coffee & Kokum to DC with.

I think HV Methi contains tea so I'll be using that, as a prepoo. I can't wait for this thread to get poppin' so I can get some good tea products recs.

I'm also going to be using:

A Loose Tea Blend I got from @curlyhersheygirl Curly, what all is in that Blend?

And Njoi CreationS Green Matcha Tea Pomade and Njoi's Herbal Tea Spritz (need to re-up on that one).

[IDareT'sHair]

@Brownie518 You are Right Hairveda's Methi-Set has Black Tea.

I will be using that as well. Along with her Green Tea Hair Butter.

Also Claudie's Quinoa & Coffee Butter.

I'm in!!
I love tea rinses!

I'll be using a strongly brewed earl grey and hibiscus tea. I have to figure out what proportions to do, so I can get the benefits of both the hibiscus and the earl grey in one rinse. Too lazy to do two separate ones.

I also plan to use the tea blend as a base for a moisturizing spritz, which will be used as necessary.

[BlkOnyx488]

I am in
WholeFoods 365 brand black tea
weekly Rinses with my DC

[NJoy]

I'm in! I'll be using the following in rotation:

Nettle Tea
Roobios Tea
Chamomille Tea
Coffee

[IDareT'sHair]

I still wouldn't mind trying to infuse some Coffee Oil or @Ltown can make some & send me a bottle.....

I did look at those Ethiopian Green Coffee Beans, but they are Whole Beans and I don't have a Coffee Grinder.

I may just buy some Espresso to brew when I run out of this Coffee Rinse I made.

This "Challenge" will definitely get us through the Winter Months.

I've been having such Great Results with the Black Tea Rinses, I'll definitely continue this Challenge into the Spring.

@IDareT'sHair count me. I'm new to tea rinses but I love the results so far and will be going full tilt by incorporating in my hair regimen in 2012. Will be rotating among the following:
Black tea rinses - apply as Pre-poo, followed by protein DC, then steam or heat cap the mix
Shi-naturals growth and black tea rinse
Homemade tea mix -- duplicates Enso Naturals Moisture Blend (wonderful blend, I wish Enso's was still avail so had to create my own)
Brown Butter Beauty Herbal Hair Tea Rinse
Coffee essential oil - will add a few drops in Moisture DCs

@IDareT'sHair, you don't have to grind the beans for coffee oil, you infuse the beans in the oil. Here is a link for coffee oil
