Hair teas are a simple and easy way to use herbs to promote massively long hair growth and length retention. We highly recommend hair teas for those with delicate hair, those experiencing shedding, people with locs, scalp issues, those transitioning into more natural ways of caring for their hair, and those wanting to use henna but want to avoid coloring their hair a reddish tint.
With your Moroccan Hair Tea or Ayurvedic Hair Tea (or maybe you bundled up and got both!) you can follow the following steps to infuse your hair tea into:
- a hair rinse using water
- for liquid for your hair masks using water
- a hair serum using water and oil
- a hair growth oil
In liquid form such as water: Steep 1 tea bag in 2-3 cups of hot water for several hours or overnight at room temperature. Remove tea bag from liquid. Use hair tea liquid as a hair rinse (ideal for locs and protective styles) directly in the shower. As you slowly pour the tea over your hair, massage the infusion into your scalp and hair to the ends, gently. Gently rinse with cool water or for extra conditioning benefits, leave herbal tea rinse in your hair and towel dry hair.
As an infusion with water you can also create a hair tea spritz or hair serum. Place hair tea liquid in a spray bottle (optionally add one of our hair oils to this mix) and use as an instant hydration spritz. You can also use the hair tea liquid directly in all of your henna and Ayurvedic hair care masks and treatments.
As a hair growth oil you can infuse a hair tea bag in your favorite Henna Sooq oil. Please watch our videos for detailed steps and hair recipes at the end of this article.
Should you have leftovers or made a big batch of hair tea rinse, you can refrigerate leftover hair tea for 7-10 days in a clean airtight container. Do not refrigerate tea in aluminum containers. For longer storage you can also freeze hair tea batches for up to 6 months.
This will not color your hair if used as directed. Avoid contact with eyes. For external use only. Do not pour hot liquid on hair nor skin. Store in a cool dark place. Patch test for allergies. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
