Brewed a pitcher of loose leaf vanilla mint chai tea. Going to use it twice a week under my deep conditioner. It contains: organic and fair trade certified pu-erh tea, organic peppermint, organic cinnamon, organic vanilla bean, organic licorice root.

CodeRed,
I've thought about using up some my chai tea in the past, but I always chicken out. Maybe I'll give it a shot in he future.

Bought some loose Rooibos tea from the farmer's market yesterday. Will be using it next week.

Anyone have any experience with it?

Forgot to add:

My son has been complaining about itchy scalp. I'm about to make a mask of neem powder, acv and tea tree oil and let him sit under my hair steamer. I might do something else too but I have to see how much he will let me do. He's 11 and thinks my natural hair addiction is stupid. Lol

Added mustard powder to my deep protein mix today. Forgot my vanilla mint chai rinse but will do it before my moisturizing deep conditioning in a minute... The mustard powder heated up my scalp so the mint should have a nice cooling down effect.

Edit: One thing I will say about this mustard powder is that you don't want to leave it on you head for an hour or more unless you are using it on your scalp ONLY. It is really drying as the recipe cynd posted in the steaming thread, and it started to "dred" my hair just a little like a protein treatment does. Also, unless you completely dissolve the powder in some kind of liquid, you will have to wash out the little particles (I co-washed them out). I had this experience with fenugreek seeds and slippery elm powder and I just blow dried them out when they were in my hair so that works too.

The mint did have a cooling effect so it countered the mustard.

Vanilla mint chai tea rinse under deep protein conditioner today.

I didn't add mustard powder to this deep condition. I'm going to try to mix it with a butter in the future so I can only apply it to my scalp... I want the benefit of growth but I don't want to dry my hair to a crisp trying to get there... it seems counterproductive :lol:

Bent. Not Broken.
Time for my bi-weekly hendigo. Think I'll do it Sunday and make it 80% henna this time. Will lighten it up a little bit for summer.

It smells slightly Maple-y mixed with a tad drop of Coffee.

Not as heavy as Oyin BSP, but it is definitely a mixture of Maple with a just a mild hint of Coffee.

How does that rosemary tea work for you? What does it do? I know people have said that rosemary is good for regrowing hair.. one site said something about it making the hair soft... what does it do for your hair/scalp?

Did a tea rinse with nettle, rooibos and dandelion tea. Left in. Next I applied aloe vera gel and rosemary oil on scalp. Then applied Vatika Naturals Black seed on top. Currently steaming.
