What is it?
Tea rinsing, in its simplest form, is the brewing of a large cup of your tea of choice… Green, Bamboo or a powerful Ayurvedic blend of herbs, to be used as a beautifying tonic to rinse over your strands.
Why do it?
Herbal teas are chock-full of healthy anti-oxidants, vitamins and minerals that have a powerful effect on your hair and scalp in the same way they do for your body. Incorporating this step into a healthy hair regime can greatly benefit your hair’s health.
Tea choices?
