(Yes, we're putting something else on our heads this month! Check jojo's thread for indepth discussion about the experiment )
Rooibos tea! (Red bush)
It has many unstudied health benefits, but I read somewhere (whether or not this is a good source or not is entirely different) that rooibos produces around an 80% increase in hair growth and decrease in shedding, so lets see if it works! Good for digestion and a good mood too! Add milk or leave it red! High in antioxidants, low in tannins and no caffeine! Why not give it a shot? (its my favourite tasting tea i've ever tried, and so good for you...some hate it. I really really love it so much! To me it tastes smooth and warm which are really textures but it tastes like nothing i've tried.)
Application:
Some people are spraying it on their scalp or drinking or both, I'm doing both, Making a cup and then just dabbing the tea bag after i've drank it (less waste, easy!).
Please post your results!
Tick all boxes that apply to you. This is a public vote! Apply Rooibos in a method you're comfortable with and in a month, or 2, or 3, come back and poll your results! (Don't forget to measure!)
I ran out of room for questions to ask in the poll, so here are a few extra:
Measurement before and after Rooibos Tea Experiment:
Percentage of growth increase:
What brand of tea are you using?
How and how often did you apply/(drink) it?
Why did you choose this method of application?
What percentage of decrease of shedding did you find, if any?
How did topical application effect your hair greasies?
Did you find any other positive side effects? If so, what? And from what method of application?
Did you find any negative side effects? If so, what? And from what method of application?
If you drank it, how did you find the taste? What was it like?
Will you do this for another month +? Why/Why not?
This space is left to be updated with the questions asked here so it is found in the first post. I'm busy but I'll try to keep it updated! Pardon my bad spelling of "expirement" in the poll, i have no excuse! EXPERIMENT! EXPERIMENT! Now I got it!
Notes for newbies- Rooibos tea does have effects on peoples hormone levels and can interfere with their monthly cycles, to be safe one probably shouldn't use it if one is pregnant but it's your choice. Also don't forget to spot test, you might be allergic!
