POTIONS & CONCOCTIONS

If you have been natural long enough or even if u are just starting you may start to notice that some parts of your hair regimen seem like you are participating in the science fair.... Its gotten so bad that my kids are never sure if the avocados mean "TACO NIGHT" or "WASH DAY".....  I am sharing my potions with you!


BLACK TEA RINSE:


  • 2-3 TEA BAGS 
  • 4 CUPS OF WATER
  • 2 TABLESPOONS OF ACV (apple cider vinegar)

Steep the tea bags for a few hours or overnight if you prefer and pour into your hair after the shampoo process... Leave on for 15-20mins... RINSE!


WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BLACK TEA??? 


OK! OK! OK! Natural hair has a tendency to be a little drier, prone to breakage and shedding.. NO ONE wants a cracked up fro.. Black tea blocks the hormone DHT which is responsible for hair loss. It reduces shedding SIGNIFICANTLY. It adds shine, softens hair and for us all ready browned haired girls it darkens our tresses.


AND WHAT ABOUT THE VINEGAR???


Our hair is naturally mildly acidic -- after using shampoos, dyes, products -- we can throw off our own PH balance. Apple cider vinegar restores our PH. It closes the cuticle surrounding the hair shaft for shinier, smoother looking hair.. Don't worry about the smell -- It doesn't linger!!!

I make this rinse at least once a month.. I tend to shed more during the winter so I switch it up to twice a month. Pay attention to what your hair likes and needs.


WHO KNEW WE REALLY WERE GONNA NEED SCIENCE WHEN WE GREW UP??
