It is known that a cup of tea can relax and soothe the mind, body, and soul. Tea rinses are an ancient old beauty remedy used for treating scalp issues, enhancing hair color, and fixing a long list of other hair issues. Read on for three must-try tea rinses recipes.
Green Tea: Anti-Dandruff + Hair Growth
Green tea is an excellent rinse for fighting dandruff and stimulating growth. Black tea can be a good alternative, but green tea offers more antioxidants and nutrients. Studies have proven green tea’s success at treating hair loss, too. The caffeine penetrates the hair follicles and encourages growth. Green tea also nourishes your scalp and protects it from dandruff, bacteria, fungus, and sun damage.
Recipe
Brew a strong cup of caffeinated green tea using 2 tea bags and 2 cups of boiling water. Allow it to cool down to lukewarm before using. Store in a spray bottle. *1 tablespoon of honey for added benefits (softness and shine) is optional.
How to use
Cleanse your hair with shampoo or a cleansing conditioner. Leave hair damp. Spray the tea onto your scalp and massage throughout hair. Cover your hair with a plastic cap, leave tea in your hair for up to 30 minutes. Rinse with cold water.
Chamomile, Roobios, Black Tea: Enhances Hair Color
Chamomile tea can be used on any hair color, but is perfect for brightening blonde hair–it will even enhance your highlights!
This flowery tea is also known for being a scalp-soothing, hair-softening conditioner, in addition to making a great sleep tonic. Redheads should go for red teas like rooibos or hibiscus. Black tea and rosemary tea are great for deepening dark colored hair. Sage tea is believed to darken grays.
Recipe
Steep ½ cup of herbs in 2 cups of boiling water for 45 minutes to an hour. Strain and allow it to cool down to lukewarm before use. Store in a spray bottle. *Add ½ a lemon and honey to your tea for blonde hair.
