Ladies, I am so excited and I just can't hide it. 
I am here to confirm that black tea rinse is the bomb...it really works to control shedding 
I experienced mega shedding after using Wen Fig Condition Cleanser a few weeks ago. The shed hairs were tangling really badly and causing a lot of breakage so I decided to incorporate black tea rinse for the first time last week and it instantly reduced the shedding. This week I needed to henna and I was nervous that I would have a set-back. Didn't happen. Today I used 4 Orange Pekoe tea bags, 1 horsetail teabag and 1 nettle teabag brewed in 4 cups of water. The tea sat overnight and next day I added 1 oz of Shi-naturals black tea rinse plus 3 to 4 drops each of peppermint, lemongrass and rosemary EO. After shampoo, henna and co-washing, I applied the tea rinse and left on for 30 minutes under a plastic cap. I then layered my Crece Pelo DC on top and steamed both the rinse and DC for another 30 minutes. My hair came out soooo soft and moist but most important of all I could literally count the number of sheds I had post wash after all that manipulation -- about 4 to 5 only rather than the palmful I was getting before 
I'm sold, tea rinses, especially black rinse will become a permanent part of my haircare regimen.

Do you spray it on your hair or concentrate it on your scalp?

I'm in. Not going to do anything special. I have some Nice tea that is lousy for drinking so going to use it for my hair. I also have some black tea in a box which I have had for years. So not going to drink it. It will be great for my hair.
I just need to figure out how I want to use it when I DC on dry hair. I definitely want to do this weekly. And this challenge will help me remember to include this in my regimen.

I may try to make a Coffee Oil in my Small Crockpot (for Potorurri) sp.
I'll buy some whole beans and put them in there with some EVOO for several hours and put into pointy tipped bottles.
Maybe this weekend.

Yum Ltown. Where do u get these fabulous teas?
I'm excited about this challenge! I will do a black tea rinse with Lipton black pearl or earl grey once per month. I will spritz a few times a week with Njoi's tea spritz. I will also use Anita Grant creamy caffe latte, Hairveda green tea butter, and Njoi green tea cream.

Not Ltown, but I get my Hibiscus, burdock, nettle, horse tail, peppermint and other western herbs from my local co-op in bulk. The Ayurvedic herbs comes from a local Indian shop or online at Hennasooq and AyurNatural Beauty.

greenandchic, I spray it on my hair mixed as a spritz just to wet it down for a bun but I used it mostly as a rinse.

I did a rinse with Shi Naturals Tea Rinse.
I'm going to include my ACV rinses in this, too.

You don't grind your beans? I've been doing that the whole time then straining when its done. Hope I'm not doing it wrong.

greenandchic I've never made it before. I was going on by what Ltown posted via ehow. I was going to put the Whole Beans in the Crock with Oil and let it Simmer then scoop the whole beans out of the Oil & Put it in bottles.
Ltown, does this sound right?

I was going by that recipe too. I think I took it a step forward by grinding because I didn't see how the coffee properties could come out while the bean is still whole. My coffee oil is a medium/dark brown grinding the beans.
