I probably would have had to co-wash my hair to fix it. I have found black tea to be more drying than green tea as well. But I would still use it because I think it does a better job on my shedding than green tea does. Do you put your deep conditioner in your hair at the same time as your tea rinse?Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136932449881592408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1988265413236135801.post-69456098803681708152014-10-15T11:50:35.387-04:002014-10-15T11:50:35.387-04:00I haven't tried black tea, do you prefer it ov...I haven't tried black tea, do you prefer it over green tea?Harlemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00815806283167536456noreply@blogger.com
