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. :lick:

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.

IDareT'sHair · Jan 6, 2012

I'm also going to be using:

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

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

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

Also Claudie's Quinoa & Coffee Butter.

Chaosbutterfly · Jan 6, 2012

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. :lol:

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

IDareT'sHair · Jan 6, 2012

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

....

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

erplexed

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. :yep:

hair4today · Jan 6, 2012

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

NaturalPath · Jan 7, 2012

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

leiah · Jan 7, 2012

I'll be watching you all for info and join in later on in the year. I'm having a baby in may. had very bad post partum shedding wwith my last so i'm hoping to curb some of that this time

babayred_86 · Jan 7, 2012

OK I'm in

I'll be using :
Nettle
Horsetail
Calendula
Peppermint
Assam
Green Tea
and I'll also be rotating some ayurvedic tea

Ronnieaj · Jan 7, 2012

It's so interesting, I never considered myself to do tea rinses. I always just say that I do an acv rinse after my DC. However, that rinse contains the following herbs and teas:

amla
cassia
maka
fenugreek
hibiscus
rooibos (new)
nettle
chamomile
burdock root
horsetail
catnip (new)
marshmallow
slippery elm

So I guess I do do tea rinses :grin:

. In that case, count me in! I do my rinses weekly after DCing.

I'm also thinking of purchasing the MD Coffee & Kokum DC and one of the Green Tea DCs, so those would be added to my rotation as well :yep:

Here's the Thread that made me want to incorporate Coffee Rinses into my Regimen. I have been doing Tea Rinses for at least 6-9 months and wanted to give Coffee a Try as well.

Hyssop
Unicorn root
Green Tea

Want to add saw palmetto, and pygeum later.
