I don’t believe many you tubers when it comes to hair care, growth, stop shedding etc. but I have tried this and it REALLY WORKS. I have tried many things you do in your videos and have gotten much success. Thanks for your integrity and honesty. I am subscribed for life! ❤️🙌🏽🙋🏾♀️
Natural85's recommendations work better for me than any other youtuber's. I definitely appreciate the fact that she uses natural stuff that you can find in your kitchen.
I tweaked your method, I boiled black tea, oat and lentil. Strained it and only used the slimy water as deep conditioning....OMG talk about a screeching halt to my many years of excessive shedding. Thank you so much for the tea idea.
Herbal tea definitely works! I have been using herbal tea as liquid in my spray bottle for at least 7-8 years. My herbs of choice are horsetail, marshmallow root, nettle, chamomile, burdock root. I steep about 1-2 hours. Shedding is minimal!
I just wanted to let you know that you are a "HouseHold Name" in my castle and I thank you so much for taking the time out to do the work you do. My wife, who is natural. Convinced me to grow my hair out and be natural, have been learning from your videos and no one else for about 3 years now. Your info and research is so on point that I have alerts of your postings on UA-cam to my phone, and when I get one. We stop what we are doing and watch you together. Thank you for helping us keep our hair health to a percentage no other can reach and another motivational tool of being love with a wonderful Natural Queen. So from our family to yours. God bless you all and please keep up the wonderful work.
This has really brought life back to me, its hard when you feel your going backwards with your natural hair journey. Loosing hair & shedding is painful. But again you remind me it will turn around with great patience. Thanks for this video.
Hey girl! This is exactly how I do my black tea rinse. Yeah, I did a video 2 years ago. You can also try coffee rinses. (also have a video on that too). For those who try this and still struggle with excessive shedding, check your iron level. If you have iron deficiency, then you might also make sure to use an iron supplement. Please contact your Dr first. Happy Healthy hair.
What you said about Iron is so good. Supplements are there for a purpose ;) they can help! I've seen some good results. I need to give Coffee rinses a try!
Well I am giving this a try for the first time. I watched both Naptural85 and DiscoveringNatural method however I coated by scalp and my strands as I have a lot of shedding. Will see if it works!
Doing a black tea rinse for 1 month, once a week, really helped my shedding after a horrible relaxer job 2 years ago ( my own fail) and massive hair loss. I mix it with my deep conditioner as well as rinse with the leftovers after rinsing the deep conditioner. I only did it that month and sparringly after that when my hair stopped freaking out and got back on my natural hair regimen. Shedding is next to nothing, actually way less than prior to my 1 time relaxer interruption and setback. oh, great shine as well. It 100% works. I use 3 black tea bags per rinse (black so it doesn't lighten my hair color).
For a great period of time my hair has been falling out tremendously! Its thinned out so bad I reverted to wigs and weave. Every wash or detangleing no matter how gentle or minor produced extreme shedding for me. Even basic combing daily. Ive never had a length problem. Always have had long relaxed but naturally curly hair. I had finally concluded at this point to cut my hair into a short cut and start all over. I tried the blk tea rinse this Saturday and babyyyyyy when I tell you the results are dramatic! My shedding hhas stopped at least 90% less.......no lie! This really does work and I'll advice this to many is desperate need for help.
Really?? My hair does exactly what you just described! I had nice full hair, now its thin and see through, from all the shedding! I can't wait to try this black tea rinse! Plus I just looked, and I have a whole box of it!! I will definitely come back and report my results! I'm so desp6at this point!🙁
So there’s hope for me!??? Yaahhhhhhhh!!! So happy to try this method! Should I also do an onion rinse and rice water rinse while doing this? I haven’t started it yet just wondering if I’m over doing it? Thank you
THIS WORKS LIKE MAGIC! I heard about tea rinses a few years ago but never tried it. I decided to give it a go after your YT video about them & I AM SOLD! After only two rinses, my shedding has been reduced by about 75%. No joke. Thank you for the informative videos. Keep 'em coming!
I didn't really like the blue background.. your regular bathroom background and the one of your room are very relaxing versus the harsh solid blue color. But I do like your style of talking beforehand.. like an introduction, the wash demo in between, and returning at the end. It feels complete and gives a detailed explanation of what you're presenting, how it works, and your opinion of it & recommendations. Love your videos and creativity!
I really needed this my shedding is sooooo bad , I am surprised I am not bald it's like 15 of those balls of hair you had , I was about to give up , but I'll try the tea , anything at this point I am just loosing so much hair idk
Darlene Brown Girl don't give up! Tea rinses may work for some, but Garlic stops allllll shedding! Get you some garlic oil & mix it with olive, onion, cinnamon cassia, peppermint, stinging nettle, basil, & clary sage oils. This oil blend made my hair the thickest its ever been & it also made it possible for me to leave my protective styles up for 4-6 months with absolutely no breakage no matting no tangling. You can also try deep conditioning with Alter ego garlic mask or even adding garlic powder to your deep conditioner
Like trxstmpapi said, you should go see a doctor. If losing SO much hair is abnormal for you, try the tea rinse, sure. But in the meantime, you should definitely try to make an appointment with a dermatologist or a trichologist.
I'm gonna have to try it. I personally get a lot of shedding but I think that's from detangling less than I should. If I did it more often there probably wouldn't be build up.
OMG!!!! This really works!! I'm sooooo happy right now that I could bust some tears! After I applied the decaff green tea I added conditioner to detangle, while the tea still on my scalp. During the detangling process, I only lost a pinky tip size of hair, when my usual hair loss is about the size of an egg! This is incredible!! Ladies and men you have to try this! You have nothing to lose just more hair to gain! Thank you so much Naptural85 for this video!❤ I'm looking forward to thicker and healthier hair.
love DIY...honestly, if I see that a video is going to be a commercial I refuse to even view it...much less press like. Love videos returning to roots of natural hair movement.
Rocio Castillo Savelesky I feel you. I like creative original content too but, these youtubers have to eat too. You can't blame them for doing sponsored videos.
Nicolle yes I agree. I don't like commercial videos but I came to understand that after all what my favourite youtubers have given me it's time for me to give back too. so if by watching they commercial videos and given it the thumb up can help why not. I'm just happy that they took the decision too make natural hair videos to help us.
I understand and respect your comments. truly. Nevertheless, I miss videos such as this one. where honest, thoughts, and ideas allow us to understand and love our tressed. I admit, however, much of the content has moved away from this (collective collaboration) and often seems to be taken over by commercial interests. A healthy mix is refreshing. ..
I think you also have to remember for example Whitney works with shea moisture now so any time she uses the products on her channel she has to put ads. I'm not sure if that makes sense, so not every product is literally given a week before
Green tea and black tea rinse is a part of my monthly wash routine. Tea rinses saved my hair and I owe it all to the wonderful DiscoveryNatural here on youtube. So happy it has helped you.
Black tea rinses are the truth! I've been doing them for a while now, and the results are incredible! The other bonus with using black tea, at least for me, is that it gradually darkens your hair over time, which I absolutely love! I actually use the tea as a final rinse. I just make sure to use a very hydrating leave-in conditioner afterwards, and I'm good to go.
Tried the tea rinse for the first time today. You wanted to know if it worked for others; yes, I think it worked for me (I'll have to try it more than once)! I used decaffeinated peppermint tea (made with black tea) because it was what I had on hand and I thought peppermint couldn't hurt. I followed your process, shampooed, massaged the tea rinse into my scalp and detangled with Trader Joe's Nourish Spa to give the tea time to sit. Now I didn't notice much difference in the amount of hair I shed as I detangled (don't usually shed much then anyway); however, after rinsing, dc'ing, and styling (flat twists) I had almost no shedding at all. During styling is when I notice most of my shedding. There were literally just a few hairs in the sink...very promising! I'll skip rinsing on my next wash day but try it again in two weeks. Btw, didn't like the new background much; the color was pretty dark and took away from your hair (not enough contrast) and it felt 'busy.'
I tried this and it worked. I was so excited. I've had years of excessive hair breakage. Anytime I touch my hair, strands always come out. But after one tea rinse, this drastically reduced. there was no hair all over my bathroom floor. Thank you for this.
Hey Gorgeous! Thank you so much for this video. I recently came across it earlier last week and decided to give it a go for my daughter's hair that's been shedding more than normal. Boy oh boy this is truly a golden gem to keep on the shelf as an "in case of emergency" go to regimen!! Since my daughter is 6, I am only doing this treatment one time this month then will co-wash, condition, and LCO like normal with simple styles for her and monitor through next month to see if we need to do it again. I Pre-pooed her hair with aloe vera, shampooed and lightly finger detangled her curls, rinsed out her hair and followed with the Green Tea rinse then applied conditioner followed by a deep conditioner just like in the video. I left her deep conditioner on all day namely because we didn't have to go anywhere though I planned to leave it for an hour initially. After all that I did her LCO using products you recommended in other videos (The mane choice detangler, a DIY fluffy butter, and a nutrient rich DIY hair oil until my melanin products get here :0) ) and realized after completing her style that I went through her entire head with ZERO shedding!!! Like nothing came out!! I'm so grateful and again thank you so much!!
Omgosh I totally forgot i was doing this after the baby! So need to do this because the plumber has been coming out wayyyy too much! TEA RINSES TOTALLY WORKS! my hair was stronger and thicker in addition to a decrease I. Shedding! Thanks for reminding me!
OMG! Tried it when I washed my hair 3 weeks ago. Just getting ready to get in the shower now to wash it again, and after detangling, the breakage is SOOOOO much less than last time. Wow. Thats really cool. It really works. I needed this. thank you! :-)
Lubio Yumulé I am curious about the 7 haters too! People kill me trolling pages with jealousy and putting thumbs down. Misery loves company for sure!🙄 and I agree...Whit is the girl!❤❤
No, I woldn't say they're haters..You tube has the thumbs down icon if you simply didn't like the video :/ I doubt it's anything against Whit....I liked it
Ppl thumbs down videos for various reasons,too long, not info, bad music, too loud, too low, not the info they were looking for, etc.. just cause you like it, doesn't mean others agree, it's nothing personal against the person making to video.
I truly, truly appreciate you sharing this video! I noticed that my hair suddenly started shedding excessively over the past few months, and I remembered this video. I followed it step-by-step last week. I began my second pre-poo regimen this morning (with the aloe vera leaf gel, per another one of your most super amazing videos!!!) since the first tea rinse, and there was considerably LESS shedding during the pre-poo process today!!! I will wash it tomorrow, but I can already tell the difference because it was so much more shedding during the whole pre-poo process before I tried this tea rinse. YOU ARE AMAZING!!! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing!
it's so many steps when it comes to being natural and what works for your hair all I wanna do is co-wash, detangle and protective style IDC if in the process I'm going bald #overit
Lol! I feel you! For me, I think it was really a matter of getting older, simultaneously I went vegan, eliminating certain proteins while under a ton of stress, causing my body chemistry to change, and then I went ahead and colored my hair, so I think it was a lethal cocktail on my end. But it can def be as simple as you want it to be! That's where I'm headed back to now, simplicity. As a hair vlogger though, I'm definitely attracted to trying a ton of different things, just gotta be careful!! Xo!! ❤️❤️
Naptural85 I would agree with the stress and aging. I have been on and off natural for years because of how thin my hair got after my first big chop (was done because of beat damage) in 2000. Since then my hair never got bk its thickness or length and stress played a huge factor as well as eating habits. I hardly eat much meat and other health issues has caused pattern baldness. So seeing your doctor for a full work up is so important. Vegan lifestyle will not work for me because i need protein in certain quantities and meat is the best option for me. But again..knowing your body from the inside out is the first step. Also PCOS could be a culprit for hair loss and shedding.
Yes!!! This tip works so well! More people definitely need to know about this. For those who want to skip a step, you can mix your favorite deep conditioner with the tea. That's what I do and it works just as fine. 🤗 I think a brighter background would suit you better. The darkness was sort of distracting. ☺️
OMG THIS WORKS!!! I have been experience excessive shedding for the past year. Whenever I touch my hair something always came out on my fingers. I tried this last week and haven't seen a single hair shed out until today. I'll definitely do this once a week along with a deep conditioner and steam treatment. Maybe now my hair will actually grow out. Thank you so much for this video.
I've been watching you for years. You and your suggestions/ideas are amazing! Please, please write a book, because it would be a best seller in the Black community.
Kadree Cox I thought I was just losing it, but each time I paused the video it stopped almost immediately. I looked it up, and there really is a thing called cybersickness, similar to motion sickness. Thanks for the tip.
Just tried this in 2020 and I’m shook. I tried this before buying olaplex and I can’t believe that my detangling routing went from wiping clumps of hair from the walls of my shower to digging into my denman brush for just one or two strands of hair to throw away from shedding. 😳 I’m stunned at how simple, affordable (free for me since I had all the supplies on hand) and instantaneous this was! (My Hair didn’t need to soak in the tea, I began detangling right away. Shook!!! ☕️
I had a hair appointment this past Tuesday. My stylist asked if she was cutting or trimming my hair. I responded only if it’s necessary because I want to retain as much length as possible. She replied that she would assess after the wash. After the wash, she oiled my scalp and combed through my hair. She showed me the hair comb. ZERO strands in the comb. No trim needed. I smiled because I had noticed greatly reduced shedding after I started using Melanin’s multi-purpose leave-in conditioner in September of this year. I feel so hopeful and excited about retaining length. Will see how my hair does in a month. 👍🏾
Just started doing tea rinses couple of months ago and it actually does work! After 6 days I saw less shedding an breakage even in the shower! Thank you so much for sharing! 🙌
Thank you so much for this video! I tried the green tea rinse a few hours ago and followed all of the steps you used and I immediately noticed a difference. My hair feels absolutely wonderful and my hair sheds were definitely less than before! I was skeptical at first but I'm happy I tried it. It will definitely be apart of my hair wash routine from now on. Thanks Whitney!! :-)
This video couldn't have come at a better time! I've been experiencing ridiculous shedding for about 4 months now and I couldn't figure out why. I'm definitely trying this and will let you know my results. thank you so much!!!
OMG IT WORKED!! Ever since I got a keratin treatment last month my hair has been shedding nonstop like crazy! Two nights ago I washed my hair and used the green tea in a measuring cup and poured it over my head over the kitchen sink (catching some of the run down with a bowl underneath to pour again and again on my head) and massaged it into my scalp. It wasn't until today that I actually noticed how much less I am shedding! To compare, before if I had gathered my hair up like I was going to do a ponytail and ran my hand around and down it, I would pull out a hand full of strands! I just did it 10 minutes ago and only pulled out like 3 strands! I wouldn't say it has completely stopped my excessive shedding, but it has by at least 70%, and that was just one use! I will do it again this weekend. THANK YOU!
Hi Whit!! I didn't care for the new background either...took away from your hair demo. As for the tea rinse, I am so going to try this!!! Thanks for making this video! 😄
I just wanted to let you know it really works. My hair was shedding because of medicine I have to take. This stopped the shedding significantly. Thank you for sharing this with us!
ive noticed it worked immediately for me as well but I have 2 wash days a week (1 deep condition & 1 regular shampoo/condition) and the wash day I don't use the green tea, its like nothing changed. how often did you apply? 🤔
Thank you so much for including the steps. A lot of these hair tutorials just jump right in and get to talking without actually labeling and putting up the steps thank you again. And as for a background I think a brighter color would look great for your skin tone
My hair has been shedding for months now. Nothing worked for me but........the green tea stopped my hair from shedding instantly. Thank u so much for the video!💞
I've managed to get my hair in the right protein balance, so my hair hardly sheds at all to none, but I'm always eager to learn new things. Thank you for this! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😊 Edit: I tried it with black tea for my mom and I and it 100% works! 🌹🌹🌹😉
IT WORKS!!!!!!!! I did this with green tea last week, (left it in). Now a week later this washday I lost a FIFTH of the size I did before! It looks like only 50 strands for a WHOLE WEEK! Definitely recommend!
My hair sheds like crazy. Will try the green tea and then try to remember to come back with an update. Thanks... I just asked another natural blogger about shedding and never got a response. I was so happy to see your post. Thanks again...
Naptural 85 caffeine is better for your hair. I've been doing tea rinses since I was 15 and I am 40 right now. Im happy to see women like yourself trying this method. Add pure sage tea and watch what it does to your hair as well.
That's what I thought. There are actual caffeine shampoos marketed to people who are losing their hair or have thin hair. Isn't it the caffeine that helps your scalp retain hair? xx
@@karengiles5971 omg i am so sorry that it took me 4 yrs to ans. I had not idea there were questions. But yes you and mix any together anf put it on your hair. Its such a game changer.
My postpartum shedding was so bad after having my son. Now he’s a year old, and I’m still shedding! 😫 I will definitely be trying this, thank you so much!! ❤️❤️
Thank you for this suggestion. I have been experiencing a huge amount of shedding over the last year or so. I researched the DIH and found that it is also associated with the transition into menopause. This explains so much for me. I will definitely be trying the tea rinse, I hope it works. Thanks Naptural85!
It worked! I've been shedding so much for so long I thought it was normal. I'm excited to see what my hair will look like six months from now. Thank you!!
Where have you been since I started my natural hair journey ? Hahaha I just did this and voila less shedding. As a matter of fact as soon as I started washing it out I could feel how soft my hair was and when I started detangling there was much much much less hair in my brush. I couldn't believe it. I said to myself as soon as I'm done with my hair I just had to come back on here and thank you very much for sharing this information. So here I am. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. I will be doing this from now on, on my wash days. Now I will be able to see more results in my length of my hair because I really felt My hair was growing but I was just losing most of my growth with all this shedding. THANK YOU.
I know tea rinses work. The only reason I don't use them (even though I bought them for hair shedding) is because I believe they can mask any possible health issues. If I start loosing hair excessively, i'd like to see it and know if and when to make an appointment. I feel the tea might prevent any obvious signs of health issues. idk
I've been doing this since I was kid, we asian don't have conditioners so we used Green tea as our conditioner with shampoo and rinse. Koreana and Japanese use this old since old times lol. Americans are finally catching up to how we asians live and keep our beauty for a long time.
I was skeptical but I was willing to try anything to stop my excessive shedding. After only one tea rinse my wash day shedding reduced by more than 75%. Luckily I kept my shed hair from the last 4 washes so I had more than a month of wash day shedding to compare. I used a regular Lipton teabag with your process. I can't wait to see more results. SO FAR IT WORKS!!!!
I tried it, but expected results after the first shower or 2 & didn't see a difference. How long do you leave it on your hair & how often do you try it before really seeing results?
Christina Watson I use it as a pre poo leaving it on 20-30 minutes. I use one tea bag, 8oz of water & 5 drops of rosemary essential oil. I saw results immediately. I fried my hair with color & it was breaking & shedding really bad. This helped big time. 🙂 HTH
Christina Watson what I do is put about 4 regular black tea bags in say about 200-250ml water, hard boil on the hob for 10 minutes, covered; then I leave that to steep overnight. I spray it on my scalp the next day, after shampooing and then applying conditioner after. I leave it on for say fifteen minutes or as long as you wish and this has really worked for me; it really works. I use it every two weeks or you can use it when you feel like you need it really.
First, that new background is great- though it does kind of make your hair blend in. Maybe a design/color that makes your hair pop (something beige or tan possibly?). I no longer struggle with breakage. Every since I've been following your example for hair washing, my hair has been growing exceptionally. So much so that I stopped taking biotin tablets for at least 3 months now. I do, however, experience some shedding. I will definitely give this a try and return to comment- after all, your hair-chalk shimmer suggestion was so great that I even left your UA-cam name me in my Amazon review. Great to see another video! I would also like your permission to add screenshots of your videos to Pinterest.
Haha! Aww thank you so much Shawn! Haha! I'm so happy you liked the hair chalks!! Yes of course, please go for it on Pinterest!! 😆😆 And so stoked the tips have been helpful and are helping you grow your hair out, that's amazing!!! I hope you love the tea rinse as well! XoXo ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I don't have problems with shedding anymore but I have a problem with SUPER tangly hair. I can only go like 3 days of a braid out without knots starting from the top of my hair. And lots of fuzzy hair balls at the end of each strand. (Strand meaning the braid out) . I can't run my hand through my hair it's awful.
Hey Leah! I feel you, I can't run my hands through my hands period! Ever! Lol!! I've realized that sometimes we just have to listen to our hair. I've decided to wash my hair as soon as it shows signs of drying (ie. day 3, day 4) in order to avoid split ends and knots. Of course, with a protective style, it can last a bit longer, but as far as wearing my hair out, if I want to keep if healthy, I just have to follow my hair's lead. For you it may be the same. Maybe instead of trying to prolong a style that your hair refuses to prolong, wash it right before your hair starts to act out, OR, try braiding it back up on day 2, right before it starts to knot up again. That way, you'll reset your moisture and avoid the dreaded day 3 knots! I HTH!! ❤️❤️❤️
OMGOSH! I can't believe just how fast I'm seeing results with this tea rinse!!! I took a picture of the amount of hair that I shedded last Sunday right before trying the rinse for the first time so that I could kind of gauge if this would really work for me. I am soooo excited to say that when I took down my braids in preparation to do this rinse again this Sunday, the hair that I shed was less than half the amount last week!!! Thank you so much for posting this video!!! I am a new fan and subscriber and I will definitely be trying a lot of your other diy hair solutions! BTW, congrats on your pregnancy! Abundant blessings!
Omg after watching this video i tried the full caf and it almost like miracle, the amout of shedding i use to get from 1/4 of my hair is what i get from my whole head of hair. It works, i am so glad i came across your video because i tried almost everything to reduce shedding and nothing work until i tried the green tea. Best remedy ever, thank you so much for this video xxx
Omg!! Omg!!! I just tried it once and my god!!!! After washing my hair, I let it dried then I try to brush my hair, and it just shed 2 single piece of hair 🙀🙀🙀. You guy seriously need to try this!! 👍👍👍 (And sorry for hurting your brain with my bad English lolol)
I have noticed increased shedding. I figured I'd been lazy with my normal routine and "that's what I get" for being lazy. I'm gonna make sure I get back on track with the deep condition routine but I'm so gonna try this for the next 3 weeks! Thanks for sharing you're so sweet!
oh my gosh this saved my hair. I was having hair loss after using suave naturals almond and shea butter products (dont know whats in their products) and this green tea/ coffee rinses stopped all the hair fall. Surprised at how well something so simple could work. Thanks a lot
Do really you think it's the tea or could it be the pregnancy? When I was pregnant the amount of hair I shed decreased substantially but after giving birth returned to normal.
Naptural851 second ago Hey Precious Lewis! No, I'm pretty certain it's the tea rinse. For one, my hair tends to get more dry and weak when I'm pregnant, at least that's what happened on my first pregnancy, so I'm being extra cautious this time around. But more importantly, I've been pregnant for four and a half, almost 5 months now, but I ONLY saw a difference a little over a month ago, when I started these tea rinses, and it was an immediate, drastic difference. Up until then, my hair continued to shed, and I'm half way through my pregnancy at this point. I would've seen these results sooner, I would think, if it were the hormones. So I'm 99% sure that it's the tea rinse. Not to mention, I'm not the only one who has had drastic and quick results using this method, so it's been proven to work on other women who weren't pregnant as well. Xo! ❤️
Precious Lewis ...just to confirm what I saw in my hair when I tried this technique over this past weekend. IT WORKS!..... instantly! I'm natural for my seventh year now. I washed my hair after a greek yogurt, honey and olive oil pre-poo ( rinsed with decaf green tea ) as Naptural advised, I let it sit in my hair until partial air dry then I continued process until all 8oz mixture was used. I then deep conditioned my hair and let that sit in my hair overnight. The next morning I rinsed my hair with water and saw a huge difference in the amount of hair that remained in my comb. HUGE DIFFERENCE! I will def monitor my hair fall until my next cowash. Thanks Naptural for posting.
@sis really?! Exactly my feeling yesterday after washing my hair, I was even afraid to touch it with my hands! Am like what if the whole shaft decides to fall off lol!!!🙆♀️🙆♀️🙆♀️. Am seriously going to try this.
It worked for me!!!!! I was shedding clumps for the past month, I was thinking that maybe it could be due to the amount of stress I am dealing with. My hair is waist length 3b-c. I never had hair that long. I shampoo, used black tea left it in for 45 minutes then used cowash, then I slathered my hair with coconut oil left it on with my hot head for an hour, shampoo again them followed by a Creme rinse. The same amount of hair she showed in the video was the exact amount I shedded. I used a wide tooth comb to de tangle. My hair felt like when you get a fresh hair cut...strong. I will try this method again next week and add it as a monthly routine.
Thank you so much. This tea rinse saved me. I almost cried when I looked after rinsing out and the excessive shedding had reduced tremendously. Thank you for posting this
I did it for 2 washes before braiding my hair. When I took out the braids there was definitely a noticeable reduction in the hair loss and breakage, so thanks!
I never reply to UA-cam videos but yes oh my God yes this works! something was wrong with my hair cuz it was just sliding out in chunks but after one treatment sheddingwas cut down to about a fourth of the amount.thank you so much for telling us about this you're not trying to sell a product you're really trying to help us thank you girl!
Update I've been doing the tea rinse for roughly three weeks I use regular caffeinated tea and it works my shedding has significantly reduced and my hair seems slightly thicker I'm so relieved. I've had so many set backs with my hair and the tea rinse has differently helped.
I don't too much care for that background, you probably should try lighter or brighter backgrounds. Do you wash your hair before you put the tea on the scalp?
Hi thanks for the video and congratulations on your new baby! Do you attribute the reduced shedding solely on the tea rinse or do you believe that your pregnancy may have played a role?
Thank you so much! I’m gonna start trying this. I have BSL hair but I’ve realized no matter how well I take care of my hair, I have excessive shedding and my hair isn’t really getting much longer. I really pray this works. 🙏🏽
This works. I love using green tea. My hair is so much thicker. Tfs. To everyone reading this, Jesus loves you.
Thank you. God bless you 😘🦋
Amen, Jesus Loves you as well.
I don’t believe many you tubers when it comes to hair care, growth, stop shedding etc. but I have tried this and it REALLY WORKS. I have tried many things you do in your videos and have gotten much success. Thanks for your integrity and honesty. I am subscribed for life! ❤️🙌🏽🙋🏾♀️
Natural85's recommendations work better for me than any other youtuber's. I definitely appreciate the fact that she uses natural stuff that you can find in your kitchen.
Howwww, 😫😭 it didn't work for me
How many times do you do iy
Tara R thank you so much for your update
You can share if you followed the SAME steps she did?
I tweaked your method, I boiled black tea, oat and lentil. Strained it and only used the slimy water as deep conditioning....OMG talk about a screeching halt to my many years of excessive shedding. Thank you so much for the tea idea.
Sunny WS
Why the oat and lentil?
Sunny WS good morning are you talking about oat that you would use for oatmeal??
Woah. How did u know to use oat and lentil? Did u try it before?
I use oats in my hair too. The slip is amazing for deep conditioning😁😁😁
I came back to tell you that this 100% works
Thank you😘
Your an angel
Wazakauye Zulu do you have to rinse it out ?
Miss Paradise yes
What brand tea did you use?
Herbal tea definitely works! I have been using herbal tea as liquid in my spray bottle for at least 7-8 years. My herbs of choice are horsetail, marshmallow root, nettle, chamomile, burdock root. I steep about 1-2 hours. Shedding is minimal!
being anemic can cause your hair to shed as well. So I start taking iron pills and my excessive shedding stopped immediately
dawnye C oh my never even thought of that. I'm anemic and my hair sheds a lot!
Oh shoot! I'm anemic and didn't know that either and I shed a ton! Good tip dawnye C !
never knew this! thanks for the tip!
Oh wow!!! I'm anemic and i never knew that. Thanks for the heads up!
Did you try the green tea. and did it work for you?
I just wanted to let you know that you are a "HouseHold Name" in my castle and I thank you so much for taking the time out to do the work you do. My wife, who is natural. Convinced me to grow my hair out and be natural, have been learning from your videos and no one else for about 3 years now.
Your info and research is so on point that I have alerts of your postings on UA-cam to my phone, and when I get one. We stop what we are doing and watch you together. Thank you for helping us keep our hair health to a percentage no other can reach and another motivational tool of being love with a wonderful Natural Queen. So from our family to yours. God bless you all and please keep up the wonderful work.
This works you guys! My hair was shredding like crazy and after 3 tea rinses the shedding was MINIMAL and my hair felt stronger
Hey can I use the conditioner after rinsing off the tea ? Hoping you could answer
This has really brought life back to me, its hard when you feel your going backwards with your natural hair journey. Loosing hair & shedding is painful. But again you remind me it will turn around with great patience. Thanks for this video.
I did this last year with black tea and OMG...same results after the first use! my bathroom drain loved me
how often do u use this techinque? before every wash?
Opp
Hey girl! This is exactly how I do my black tea rinse. Yeah, I did a video 2 years ago. You can also try coffee rinses. (also have a video on that too). For those who try this and still struggle with excessive shedding, check your iron level. If you have iron deficiency, then you might also make sure to use an iron supplement. Please contact your Dr first. Happy Healthy hair.
Haha! Nice!! ❤️❤️
DiscoveringNatural
What you said about Iron is so good. Supplements are there for a purpose ;) they can help! I've seen some good results. I need to give Coffee rinses a try!
DiscoveringNatural i
Well I am giving this a try for the first time. I watched both Naptural85 and DiscoveringNatural method however I coated by scalp and my strands as I have a lot of shedding. Will see if it works!
This is week 2 of using the green tea rinse. My shedding has decreased tremendously! I am so glad i came across this video!❤❤❤❤
Doing a black tea rinse for 1 month, once a week, really helped my shedding after a horrible relaxer job 2 years ago ( my own fail) and massive hair loss. I mix it with my deep conditioner as well as rinse with the leftovers after rinsing the deep conditioner. I only did it that month and sparringly after that when my hair stopped freaking out and got back on my natural hair regimen. Shedding is next to nothing, actually way less than prior to my 1 time relaxer interruption and setback. oh, great shine as well. It 100% works. I use 3 black tea bags per rinse (black so it doesn't lighten my hair color).
For a great period of time my hair has been falling out tremendously! Its thinned out so bad I reverted to wigs and weave. Every wash or detangleing no matter how gentle or minor produced extreme shedding for me. Even basic combing daily. Ive never had a length problem. Always have had long relaxed but naturally curly hair. I had finally concluded at this point to cut my hair into a short cut and start all over. I tried the blk tea rinse this Saturday and babyyyyyy when I tell you the results are dramatic! My shedding hhas stopped at least 90% less.......no lie! This really does work and I'll advice this to many is desperate need for help.
Really?? My hair does exactly what you just described! I had nice full hair, now its thin and see through, from all the shedding! I can't wait to try this black tea rinse! Plus I just looked, and I have a whole box of it!! I will definitely come back and report my results! I'm so desp6at this point!🙁
Brneyz619 Woods I don’t even want to like your comment again, as this is a joke now, same issue 😅
Is black tea green tea??please reply
So there’s hope for me!??? Yaahhhhhhhh!!!
So happy to try this method! Should I also do an onion rinse and rice water rinse while doing this? I haven’t started it yet just wondering if I’m over doing it? Thank you
@@studyvibes3034
Yes, white, green, red and black tea all come from the same plant but go through different oxidizing process.
THIS WORKS LIKE MAGIC! I heard about tea rinses a few years ago but never tried it. I decided to give it a go after your YT video about them & I AM SOLD! After only two rinses, my shedding has been reduced by about 75%. No joke. Thank you for the informative videos. Keep 'em coming!
I didn't really like the blue background.. your regular bathroom background and the one of your room are very relaxing versus the harsh solid blue color. But I do like your style of talking beforehand.. like an introduction, the wash demo in between, and returning at the end. It feels complete and gives a detailed explanation of what you're presenting, how it works, and your opinion of it & recommendations. Love your videos and creativity!
I really needed this my shedding is sooooo bad , I am surprised I am not bald it's like 15 of those balls of hair you had , I was about to give up , but I'll try the tea , anything at this point I am just loosing so much hair idk
Darlene Brown Girl don't give up! Tea rinses may work for some, but Garlic stops allllll shedding! Get you some garlic oil & mix it with olive, onion, cinnamon cassia, peppermint, stinging nettle, basil, & clary sage oils. This oil blend made my hair the thickest its ever been & it also made it possible for me to leave my protective styles up for 4-6 months with absolutely no breakage no matting no tangling. You can also try deep conditioning with Alter ego garlic mask or even adding garlic powder to your deep conditioner
nicole hunter onion oil? Where do you get most of the items you're speaking of?
Darlene Brown
You should go see your doctor and they could probably help you more. It may be a medical condition
naturalbeautyisgood The rest of the oils can be purchased from swansonvitamins.com
Like trxstmpapi said, you should go see a doctor. If losing SO much hair is abnormal for you, try the tea rinse, sure. But in the meantime, you should definitely try to make an appointment with a dermatologist or a trichologist.
Only alert on YT that I will click on to watch immediately. It's always worth it because I always learn so much from your videos.
Aw thank you LaToya!! I'm happy you like the videos!! ❤️❤️
I'm gonna have to try it. I personally get a lot of shedding but I think that's from detangling less than I should. If I did it more often there probably wouldn't be build up.
Kyla Fuller same
UPDATE PLEASE

OMG!!!! This really works!! I'm sooooo happy right now that I could bust some tears! After I applied the decaff green tea I added conditioner to detangle, while the tea still on my scalp. During the detangling process, I only lost a pinky tip size of hair, when my usual hair loss is about the size of an egg! This is incredible!! Ladies and men you have to try this! You have nothing to lose just more hair to gain! Thank you so much Naptural85 for this video!❤ I'm looking forward to thicker and healthier hair.
love DIY...honestly, if I see that a video is going to be a commercial I refuse to even view it...much less press like. Love videos returning to roots of natural hair movement.
Rocio Castillo Savelesky I feel you. I like creative original content too but, these youtubers have to eat too. You can't blame them for doing sponsored videos.
Nicolle yes I agree. I don't like commercial videos but I came to understand that after all what my favourite youtubers have given me it's time for me to give back too. so if by watching they commercial videos and given it the thumb up can help why not. I'm just happy that they took the decision too make natural hair videos to help us.
I understand and respect your comments. truly. Nevertheless, I miss videos such as this one. where honest, thoughts, and ideas allow us to understand and love our tressed. I admit, however, much of the content has moved away from this (collective collaboration) and often seems to be taken over by commercial interests. A healthy mix is refreshing. ..
I think you also have to remember for example Whitney works with shea moisture now so any time she uses the products on her channel she has to put ads. I'm not sure if that makes sense, so not every product is literally given a week before
I miss those days too
Hey! Great video! Not feeling that background but definitely as a fan appreciate the switch up! -Govna
XoXo!! Thank you so much Govna!! I appreciate your feedback! ❤️❤️
Naptural85 how often should I apply this?
Giselle Nikki she said apply it every other week for a month or month in a half.
Green tea and black tea rinse is a part of my monthly wash routine. Tea rinses saved my hair and I owe it all to the wonderful DiscoveryNatural here on youtube. So happy it has helped you.
heyy was just wondering does it really work well? my hair is horrendous rn haha idk what to do...
Mynaturalmychoice+ Do you actually rinse the tea out? After how long?
" I'm going to use my 15 mins to detangle my hair". GIRL WHAT. 😩😩😩
Tea Rinses are the truth!
Did this work for you? I'm ready to try anything
I use fermented rice water to rinse my hair and experience very little shedding.
slim hi I haven't tried the rice water yet. How long do you let your rice sit?
slim
How much hair did you lose before and after using rice water?
Fermented rice water is the truth!!
Black tea rinses are the truth! I've been doing them for a while now, and the results are incredible! The other bonus with using black tea, at least for me, is that it gradually darkens your hair over time, which I absolutely love! I actually use the tea as a final rinse. I just make sure to use a very hydrating leave-in conditioner afterwards, and I'm good to go.
Me too. I leave it in and have a moisturizing leave in.
Tried the tea rinse for the first time today. You wanted to know if it worked for others; yes, I think it worked for me (I'll have to try it more than once)! I used decaffeinated peppermint tea (made with black tea) because it was what I had on hand and I thought peppermint couldn't hurt. I followed your process, shampooed, massaged the tea rinse into my scalp and detangled with Trader Joe's Nourish Spa to give the tea time to sit. Now I didn't notice much difference in the amount of hair I shed as I detangled (don't usually shed much then anyway); however, after rinsing, dc'ing, and styling (flat twists) I had almost no shedding at all. During styling is when I notice most of my shedding. There were literally just a few hairs in the sink...very promising! I'll skip rinsing on my next wash day but try it again in two weeks. Btw, didn't like the new background much; the color was pretty dark and took away from your hair (not enough contrast) and it felt 'busy.'
Imagine you bi No nmm
2nd mmm m Good
Can we take a moment to appreciate how FLAWLESS her hurrr looks in this video? 😩😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍👑
Intersectionality I know. Right it looks so amazing!
Love the hair as well! looks great!!
*hair
I tried this and it worked. I was so excited. I've had years of excessive hair breakage. Anytime I touch my hair, strands always come out. But after one tea rinse, this drastically reduced. there was no hair all over my bathroom floor.
Thank you for this.
Hi do u mind telling how u used it? Like was it daily or rinse out?
@@Kct47 Hi, I followed her method of applying it. I applied it once every 2 months.
My current situation. I hope it works for me!
Hey Gorgeous! Thank you so much for this video. I recently came across it earlier last week and decided to give it a go for my daughter's hair that's been shedding more than normal. Boy oh boy this is truly a golden gem to keep on the shelf as an "in case of emergency" go to regimen!! Since my daughter is 6, I am only doing this treatment one time this month then will co-wash, condition, and LCO like normal with simple styles for her and monitor through next month to see if we need to do it again. I Pre-pooed her hair with aloe vera, shampooed and lightly finger detangled her curls, rinsed out her hair and followed with the Green Tea rinse then applied conditioner followed by a deep conditioner just like in the video. I left her deep conditioner on all day namely because we didn't have to go anywhere though I planned to leave it for an hour initially. After all that I did her LCO using products you recommended in other videos (The mane choice detangler, a DIY fluffy butter, and a nutrient rich DIY hair oil until my melanin products get here :0) ) and realized after completing her style that I went through her entire head with ZERO shedding!!! Like nothing came out!! I'm so grateful and again thank you so much!!
Omgosh I totally forgot i was doing this after the baby! So need to do this because the plumber has been coming out wayyyy too much! TEA RINSES TOTALLY WORKS! my hair was stronger and thicker in addition to a decrease I. Shedding! Thanks for reminding me!
MelissaQ how often?
Hey girl did this help getting your hair back to being thick
OMG! Tried it when I washed my hair 3 weeks ago. Just getting ready to get in the shower now to wash it again, and after detangling, the breakage is SOOOOO much less than last time. Wow. Thats really cool. It really works. I needed this. thank you! :-)
Where does these 7 thumbs down comes FROM?
Withney,you're just perfect.
Prob safe to assume, 7...well now 11 people thought putting tea on your head was absurd...ijs...idk
Southern Comfort
they don't understand that tea is natural and better than other chemical produits....
Lubio Yumulé I am curious about the 7 haters too! People kill me trolling pages with jealousy and putting thumbs down. Misery loves company for sure!🙄 and I agree...Whit is the girl!❤❤
No, I woldn't say they're haters..You tube has the thumbs down icon if you simply didn't like the video :/ I doubt it's anything against Whit....I liked it
Ppl thumbs down videos for various reasons,too long, not info, bad music, too loud, too low, not the info they were looking for, etc.. just cause you like it, doesn't mean others agree, it's nothing personal against the person making to video.
WHITNEY!!!!! I use to lose chunks of hair. I tried this once! ONE TIME!!! My Hair didn't shed all that much! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
I truly, truly appreciate you sharing this video! I noticed that my hair suddenly started shedding excessively over the past few months, and I remembered this video. I followed it step-by-step last week. I began my second pre-poo regimen this morning (with the aloe vera leaf gel, per another one of your most super amazing videos!!!) since the first tea rinse, and there was considerably LESS shedding during the pre-poo process today!!! I will wash it tomorrow, but I can already tell the difference because it was so much more shedding during the whole pre-poo process before I tried this tea rinse. YOU ARE AMAZING!!! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing!
it's so many steps when it comes to being natural and what works for your hair all I wanna do is co-wash, detangle and protective style IDC if in the process I'm going bald #overit
Lol! I feel you! For me, I think it was really a matter of getting older, simultaneously I went vegan, eliminating certain proteins while under a ton of stress, causing my body chemistry to change, and then I went ahead and colored my hair, so I think it was a lethal cocktail on my end. But it can def be as simple as you want it to be! That's where I'm headed back to now, simplicity. As a hair vlogger though, I'm definitely attracted to trying a ton of different things, just gotta be careful!! Xo!! ❤️❤️
Naptural85 I would agree with the stress and aging. I have been on and off natural for years because of how thin my hair got after my first big chop (was done because of beat damage) in 2000. Since then my hair never got bk its thickness or length and stress played a huge factor as well as eating habits. I hardly eat much meat and other health issues has caused pattern baldness. So seeing your doctor for a full work up is so important. Vegan lifestyle will not work for me because i need protein in certain quantities and meat is the best option for me. But again..knowing your body from the inside out is the first step. Also PCOS could be a culprit for hair loss and shedding.
Naptural85
Your hair looks like it is back to the beautiful curls and coils I fell in love with about two years ago. It looks healthy and thick.
XoXO!! Thank you imgrownforreal!!! I've been really focused on getting it back so thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️
Yes!!! This tip works so well! More people definitely need to know about this. For those who want to skip a step, you can mix your favorite deep conditioner with the tea. That's what I do and it works just as fine. 🤗
I think a brighter background would suit you better. The darkness was sort of distracting. ☺️
Bri thanks for tip. 💚
Do you sit under the dryer too ?
heyyyyy girl , I'm here to say thank you ! yes it does work , I have used it for 1 month , 4 times and my shedding has reduce greatly !
OMG THIS WORKS!!! I have been experience excessive shedding for the past year. Whenever I touch my hair something always came out on my fingers. I tried this last week and haven't seen a single hair shed out until today. I'll definitely do this once a week along with a deep conditioner and steam treatment. Maybe now my hair will actually grow out. Thank you so much for this video.
I've been watching you for years. You and your suggestions/ideas are amazing! Please, please write a book, because it would be a best seller in the Black community.
It totally works for me. This has been in my regimen off and on for years with nothing but great results!
This may sound weird but that background made me feel nauseous. Is it moving? Or is it my eyes playing tricks on me
KurlyMommy G The background also made me feel woozy/nauseous as well. However once I focused more on her hair & the info she was sharing, I balanced.
Kadree Cox I thought I was just losing it, but each time I paused the video it stopped almost immediately. I looked it up, and there really is a thing called cybersickness, similar to motion sickness. Thanks for the tip.
I didn't notice that at first, but once I looked again, I felt it too. 😳😳😳🤢
Just tried this in 2020 and I’m shook. I tried this before buying olaplex and I can’t believe that my detangling routing went from wiping clumps of hair from the walls of my shower to digging into my denman brush for just one or two strands of hair to throw away from shedding. 😳 I’m stunned at how simple, affordable (free for me since I had all the supplies on hand) and instantaneous this was! (My Hair didn’t need to soak in the tea, I began detangling right away. Shook!!! ☕️
I had a hair appointment this past Tuesday. My stylist asked if she was cutting or trimming my hair. I responded only if it’s necessary because I want to retain as much length as possible. She replied that she would assess after the wash. After the wash, she oiled my scalp and combed through my hair. She showed me the hair comb. ZERO strands in the comb. No trim needed. I smiled because I had noticed greatly reduced shedding after I started using Melanin’s multi-purpose leave-in conditioner in September of this year. I feel so hopeful and excited about retaining length. Will see how my hair does in a month. 👍🏾
Just started doing tea rinses couple of months ago and it actually does work! After 6 days I saw less shedding an breakage even in the shower! Thank you so much for sharing! 🙌
Thank you so much for this video! I tried the green tea rinse a few hours ago and followed all of the steps you used and I immediately noticed a difference. My hair feels absolutely wonderful and my hair sheds were definitely less than before! I was skeptical at first but I'm happy I tried it. It will definitely be apart of my hair wash routine from now on. Thanks Whitney!! :-)
This video couldn't have come at a better time! I've been experiencing ridiculous shedding for about 4 months now and I couldn't figure out why. I'm definitely trying this and will let you know my results. thank you so much!!!
Did it work?
@@longlegs6398 haha! Omg, I believe it did. I remember my hair being super thick.
@frenchy988 ok fingers 🤞🏼 it works for me too.
Yes, this definitely works. I immediately noticed less shedding after only doing 1 tea rinse, which is amazing! Thank you soo much for sharing!
OMG IT WORKED!! Ever since I got a keratin treatment last month my hair has been shedding nonstop like crazy! Two nights ago I washed my hair and used the green tea in a measuring cup and poured it over my head over the kitchen sink (catching some of the run down with a bowl underneath to pour again and again on my head) and massaged it into my scalp. It wasn't until today that I actually noticed how much less I am shedding! To compare, before if I had gathered my hair up like I was going to do a ponytail and ran my hand around and down it, I would pull out a hand full of strands! I just did it 10 minutes ago and only pulled out like 3 strands! I wouldn't say it has completely stopped my excessive shedding, but it has by at least 70%, and that was just one use! I will do it again this weekend. THANK YOU!
Hi Whit!! I didn't care for the new background either...took away from your hair demo. As for the tea rinse, I am so going to try this!!! Thanks for making this video! 😄
I just wanted to let you know it really works. My hair was shedding because of medicine I have to take. This stopped the shedding significantly. Thank you for sharing this with us!
ive noticed it worked immediately for me as well but I have 2 wash days a week (1 deep condition & 1 regular shampoo/condition) and the wash day I don't use the green tea, its like nothing changed. how often did you apply? 🤔
I think my hair is falling nad shedding so much due to accutane
White dude with really long curly hair really needed this thank you.
Thank you so much for including the steps. A lot of these hair tutorials just jump right in and get to talking without actually labeling and putting up the steps thank you again. And as for a background I think a brighter color would look great for your skin tone
My hair has been shedding for months now. Nothing worked for me but........the green tea stopped my hair from shedding instantly. Thank u so much for the video!💞
She's giving advice about hair shedding and all yall worried about is her background. Yall sound like kids that can't have their way.
Stacey @2:55 Thoughts/feedback concerning backdrop is encouraged by Whit. Perhaps that's why your repeatedly seeing such in the comments.
Stacey but she asked the viewers opinion
She asked us to tell her that

Wash and go please 😇 your hair is so gorgeous 💕
Yes please! 🙋🏽
Yes please
I've managed to get my hair in the right protein balance, so my hair hardly sheds at all to none, but I'm always eager to learn new things. Thank you for this! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😊
Edit: I tried it with black tea for my mom and I and it 100% works! 🌹🌹🌹😉
IT WORKS!!!!!!!! I did this with green tea last week, (left it in). Now a week later this washday I lost a FIFTH of the size I did before! It looks like only 50 strands for a WHOLE WEEK! Definitely recommend!
My hair sheds like crazy. Will try the green tea and then try to remember to come back with an update. Thanks... I just asked another natural blogger about shedding and never got a response. I was so happy to see your post. Thanks again...
Naptural 85 caffeine is better for your hair. I've been doing tea rinses since I was 15 and I am 40 right now. Im happy to see women like yourself trying this method. Add pure sage tea and watch what it does to your hair as well.
Jerusalem do you use the pure sage tea along with the green or black tea or do you alternate them.
How do your tea rinses? And do you ever leave the tea in like a leave in?
That's what I thought. There are actual caffeine shampoos marketed to people who are losing their hair or have thin hair. Isn't it the caffeine that helps your scalp retain hair? xx
My dermatologist prescribed caffeine shampoos. I've 2 brands which I alternate between each day. This is the second week. Waiting to see results
@@karengiles5971 omg i am so sorry that it took me 4 yrs to ans. I had not idea there were questions. But yes you and mix any together anf put it on your hair. Its such a game changer.
My postpartum shedding was so bad after having my son. Now he’s a year old, and I’m still shedding! 😫 I will definitely be trying this, thank you so much!! ❤️❤️
Thank you for this suggestion. I have been experiencing a huge amount of shedding over the last year or so. I researched the DIH and found that it is also associated with the transition into menopause. This explains so much for me. I will definitely be trying the tea rinse, I hope it works. Thanks Naptural85!
It worked! I've been shedding so much for so long I thought it was normal. I'm excited to see what my hair will look like six months from now. Thank you!!
Where have you been since I started my natural hair journey ? Hahaha I just did this and voila less shedding. As a matter of fact as soon as I started washing it out I could feel how soft my hair was and when I started detangling there was much much much less hair in my brush. I couldn't believe it. I said to myself as soon as I'm done with my hair I just had to come back on here and thank you very much for sharing this information. So here I am. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.
I will be doing this from now on, on my wash days. Now I will be able to see more results in my length of my hair because I really felt My hair was growing but I was just losing most of my growth with all this shedding.
THANK YOU.
Curls are beautiful as usual. So define and bouncy
*rummages through all the tea bags in house....finds the green tea one... takes them all and puts them in hair* defo trying this!!! great video b
I know tea rinses work. The only reason I don't use them (even though I bought them for hair shedding) is because I believe they can mask any possible health issues. If I start loosing hair excessively, i'd like to see it and know if and when to make an appointment. I feel the tea might prevent any obvious signs of health issues. idk
i know this was a while ago when you left this ahaha but i went to my doctor and they told me to take biotin and vitamin b
I've been doing this since I was kid, we asian don't have conditioners so we used Green tea as our conditioner with shampoo and rinse. Koreana and Japanese use this old since old times lol. Americans are finally catching up to how we asians live and keep our beauty for a long time.
I was skeptical but I was willing to try anything to stop my excessive shedding. After only one tea rinse my wash day shedding reduced by more than 75%. Luckily I kept my shed hair from the last 4 washes so I had more than a month of wash day shedding to compare. I used a regular Lipton teabag with your process. I can't wait to see more results. SO FAR IT WORKS!!!!
I use black tea & it has totally stopped my excessive shedding 😆
I tried it, but expected results after the first shower or 2 & didn't see a difference. How long do you leave it on your hair & how often do you try it before really seeing results?
Christina Watson I use it as a pre poo leaving it on 20-30 minutes. I use one tea bag, 8oz of water & 5 drops of rosemary essential oil. I saw results immediately. I fried my hair with color & it was breaking & shedding really bad. This helped big time. 🙂 HTH
Christina Watson what I do is put about 4 regular black tea bags in say about 200-250ml water, hard boil on the hob for 10 minutes, covered; then I leave that to steep overnight. I spray it on my scalp the next day, after shampooing and then applying conditioner after. I leave it on for say fifteen minutes or as long as you wish and this has really worked for me; it really works. I use it every two weeks or you can use it when you feel like you need it really.
adding rosemary is a good one! wow.. fried hair is not cute you're right... Thank God you did something about it!!
kinksncurls yes my hair is shedding bad😩😩....how many time to do tea rinse before u see results?
First, that new background is great- though it does kind of make your hair blend in. Maybe a design/color that makes your hair pop (something beige or tan possibly?).
I no longer struggle with breakage. Every since I've been following your example for hair washing, my hair has been growing exceptionally. So much so that I stopped taking biotin tablets for at least 3 months now. I do, however, experience some shedding. I will definitely give this a try and return to comment- after all, your hair-chalk shimmer suggestion was so great that I even left your UA-cam name me in my Amazon review.
Great to see another video! I would also like your permission to add screenshots of your videos to Pinterest.
Haha! Aww thank you so much Shawn! Haha! I'm so happy you liked the hair chalks!! Yes of course, please go for it on Pinterest!! 😆😆 And so stoked the tips have been helpful and are helping you grow your hair out, that's amazing!!! I hope you love the tea rinse as well! XoXo ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I don't have problems with shedding anymore but I have a problem with SUPER tangly hair. I can only go like 3 days of a braid out without knots starting from the top of my hair. And lots of fuzzy hair balls at the end of each strand. (Strand meaning the braid out) . I can't run my hand through my hair it's awful.
Hey Leah! I feel you, I can't run my hands through my hands period! Ever! Lol!! I've realized that sometimes we just have to listen to our hair. I've decided to wash my hair as soon as it shows signs of drying (ie. day 3, day 4) in order to avoid split ends and knots. Of course, with a protective style, it can last a bit longer, but as far as wearing my hair out, if I want to keep if healthy, I just have to follow my hair's lead. For you it may be the same. Maybe instead of trying to prolong a style that your hair refuses to prolong, wash it right before your hair starts to act out, OR, try braiding it back up on day 2, right before it starts to knot up again. That way, you'll reset your moisture and avoid the dreaded day 3 knots! I HTH!! ❤️❤️❤️
Naptural85 oh thank you so much!!
OMGOSH! I can't believe just how fast I'm seeing results with this tea rinse!!! I took a picture of the amount of hair that I shedded last Sunday right before trying the rinse for the first time so that I could kind of gauge if this would really work for me. I am soooo excited to say that when I took down my braids in preparation to do this rinse again this Sunday, the hair that I shed was less than half the amount last week!!! Thank you so much for posting this video!!! I am a new fan and subscriber and I will definitely be trying a lot of your other diy hair solutions! BTW, congrats on your pregnancy! Abundant blessings!
Omg after watching this video i tried the full caf and it almost like miracle, the amout of shedding i use to get from 1/4 of my hair is what i get from my whole head of hair. It works, i am so glad i came across your video because i tried almost everything to reduce shedding and nothing work until i tried the green tea. Best remedy ever, thank you so much for this video xxx
Sis I need a personal coach to grow my hair, is that something you can do?
Omg!! Omg!!! I just tried it once and my god!!!! After washing my hair, I let it dried then I try to brush my hair, and it just shed 2 single piece of hair 🙀🙀🙀.
You guy seriously need to try this!! 👍👍👍
(And sorry for hurting your brain with my bad English lolol)
Which brand tea u used?
I'm definitely going to try it this week. I'm losing so much hair! Its scary.🙁
Brneyz619 Woods Same!! I’m literally soo concerned, my hair used to be soo much healthier, thicker ,and soft
You don't know how bad I needed this 😭😭
I have noticed increased shedding. I figured I'd been lazy with my normal routine and "that's what I get" for being lazy. I'm gonna make sure I get back on track with the deep condition routine but I'm so gonna try this for the next 3 weeks! Thanks for sharing you're so sweet!
oh my gosh this saved my hair. I was having hair loss after using suave naturals almond and shea butter products (dont know whats in their products) and this green tea/ coffee rinses stopped all the hair fall. Surprised at how well something so simple could work. Thanks a lot
Do really you think it's the tea or could it be the pregnancy? When I was pregnant the amount of hair I shed decreased substantially but after giving birth returned to normal.

Hey Precious Lewis! No, I'm pretty certain it's the tea rinse. For one, my hair tends to get more dry and weak when I'm pregnant, at least that's what happened on my first pregnancy, so I'm being extra cautious this time around. But more importantly, I've been pregnant for four and a half, almost 5 months now, but I ONLY saw a difference a little over a month ago, when I started these tea rinses, and it was an immediate, drastic difference. Up until then, my hair continued to shed, and I'm half way through my pregnancy at this point. I would've seen these results sooner, I would think, if it were the hormones. So I'm 99% sure that it's the tea rinse. Not to mention, I'm not the only one who has had drastic and quick results using this method, so it's been proven to work on other women who weren't pregnant as well. Xo! ❤️
Precious Lewis ...just to confirm what I saw in my hair when I tried this technique over this past weekend. IT WORKS!..... instantly! I'm natural for my seventh year now. I washed my hair after a greek yogurt, honey and olive oil pre-poo ( rinsed with decaf green tea ) as Naptural advised, I let it sit in my hair until partial air dry then I continued process until all 8oz mixture was used. I then deep conditioned my hair and let that sit in my hair overnight. The next morning I rinsed my hair with water and saw a huge difference in the amount of hair that remained in my comb. HUGE DIFFERENCE! I will def monitor my hair fall until my next cowash. Thanks Naptural for posting.
Precious Lewis I didn't know Whitney was pregnant and I watch her videos but I think my mom has tried it and it worked for her.
Yes she is...I certainly hope I didn't mess up her YT reveal:( I think she posted it on IG last week.
She posted on IG last week, i think. Thanks, I plan to give it a try
Whitney your hair looks amazing! How do you get it looking shiny? 👸🏾
XoXo!! Thank you smooch honeybdream! It's my new wash routine!! Also, my hair is naturally shiny, but my new routine helps SOOOO much! ❤️ #thankful
Naptural85 can you share your new wash routine when you get a chance?
I just took my braids down and my hair just started shedding, excessively, now I’m scared and I think my hair is going to fall out 😭😭
@sis really?! Exactly my feeling yesterday after washing my hair, I was even afraid to touch it with my hands! Am like what if the whole shaft decides to fall off lol!!!🙆♀️🙆♀️🙆♀️. Am seriously going to try this.
@@boldblackbeautynaturals3bn126 this is exactly how im feeling right now . can't wait to get home to do a tea rinse..My hair is just falling off
It worked for me!!!!! I was shedding clumps for the past month, I was thinking that maybe it could be due to the amount of stress I am dealing with. My hair is waist length 3b-c. I never had hair that long. I shampoo, used black tea left it in for 45 minutes then used cowash, then I slathered my hair with coconut oil left it on with my hot head for an hour, shampoo again them followed by a Creme rinse. The same amount of hair she showed in the video was the exact amount I shedded. I used a wide tooth comb to de tangle. My hair felt like when you get a fresh hair cut...strong. I will try this method again next week and add it as a monthly routine.
Thanks for showing the process. I use black, green or purple tea for my hair during wash days. Tea rinses have reduced my shedding tremendously.
You look AMAZING in this video. Hair colour is beautiful, curls are poppin!!! Love the lipstick colour.
A lighter background maybe better. The dark color blends with your hair. Great video.
Thanks Whitney for the great advice and DIY, we all love your DIY's!
XoXo!! Thank you MercuryTV!! SO happy to help! ❤️❤️
Thank you so much. This tea rinse saved me. I almost cried when I looked after rinsing out and the excessive shedding had reduced tremendously. Thank you for posting this
I did it for 2 washes before braiding my hair. When I took out the braids there was definitely a noticeable reduction in the hair loss and breakage, so thanks!
I'm definitely gonna give this a try. I noticed today during my wash day I was shedding ALOT! 💗 the tutorial 👍🏾
My hair recently started falling off like crazy I don’t know why or haw it started but I’ll try this remedy and I hope it works.
Hey, did it work?
Not feeling the blue background-a lighter one maybe because of your hair colour, so we can see it better 😄
I never reply to UA-cam videos but yes oh my God yes this works! something was wrong with my hair cuz it was just sliding out in chunks but after one treatment sheddingwas cut down to about a fourth of the amount.thank you so much for telling us about this you're not trying to sell a product you're really trying to help us thank you girl!
Update I've been doing the tea rinse for roughly three weeks I use regular caffeinated tea and it works my shedding has significantly reduced and my hair seems slightly thicker I'm so relieved. I've had so many set backs with my hair and the tea rinse has differently helped.
The tea acts as a natural DHT blocker. The shedding is a symptom of something else, please take time to discover the cause.
Hair naturally sheds idiot..... sime less... some more.....
I don't too much care for that background, you probably should try lighter or brighter backgrounds. Do you wash your hair before you put the tea on the scalp?
Hi thanks for the video and congratulations on your new baby! Do you attribute the reduced shedding solely on the tea rinse or do you believe that your pregnancy may have played a role?
Thank you so much! I’m gonna start trying this. I have BSL hair but I’ve realized no matter how well I take care of my hair, I have excessive shedding and my hair isn’t really getting much longer. I really pray this works. 🙏🏽
