Whats so great about Tea Rinses?
A tea rinse can be easily put together with a cup of water and loose leaf tea. We can take it a step further by adding specific herbs and oils into your tea rinses to boost hair growth, soothe scalp itch, balance PH or simply strengthen hair between washes. A tea rinse is a universal care technique for natural hair divas that helps boost shine, provide moisture and boost blood flow to promote hair growth. Some healing herbs that can be combined are:
Green tea: Antioxidant rich / Boosts Hair Growth
Lavender: Balances natural oil production on the scalp.
Black Tea: Increases thickness
Calendula: Moisturizes and restores strands
Chamomile: Natural moisturizer
Comfrey: Stimulates Hair growth
Sage: Provides Shine
Hops : Reduces hair fall
Some Naturals prefer to use the tea rinse as a in- between wash and go spritz, a full hair rinse or an overnight soak combined with a oil sealant for deep conditioning. Please be aware that sometimes tea rinses can be drying to curly hair. Always pair your rinse with a preferred oil like olive oil, Sweet almond or Jojoba to prevent over drying.Everyone’s hair is different so the same process won’t be for every natural , you must find the best way suitable for your type of hair.
I prefer using my tea rinses as a light strengthening and PH balancing treatment to help with my excessive Sebum build up. I combine 1 cup of Green tea, Black tea and Calendula hot tea with 1/2 cup of Apple cider vinegar with 2 tblspoons of olive oil . with my hair in sections and twist i dip my ends first after priming with Jamaican black castor oil and proceed to pour the remaining liquid over my stands and scalp. Massage scalp for 15 minutes and place a Plastic cap and sit for additional 20-30 minutes. Then rinse. Seal in the antioxidant rich moisture with your favorite hair sealant. We prefer our Scrubtious Inc Fenugreek Hibiscus growth oil.
