Quick Q&A on Black Tea Rinses

Just a few quick response to ACG’s comments posted on my original post on black tea rinses – I thought posting a response here would be helpful:

[blockquote align=”none” author=””]What order do you apply it in; pre-poo, poo, tea, roux, deep condish, PM Skinny treatment, etc? Or do you skip some of those steps? Also, how long do you leave it in? [/blockquote]

1. Pre-poo with oil as usual.
2. Shampoo
3. Pour the black tea over my hair and leave it in for 5 minutes.
4. Rinse my hair with water.
5. Apply PM Skinny Treatment
6. Roux Porosity Control for 30 seconds
7. Deep condition for an hour.

I keep my regimen the same. I definitely do not what to skip deep conditioning because my hair reacts to black tea as though it were a protein treatment (hardens a bit).
[blockquote align=”none” author=””]Q: Has the black tea rinse darkened your hair?[/blockquote]

I try not to use it back to back too often so as not to have it darken my hair, so far, I haven’t noticed any darkening.

HTH!
