I have been experimenting with different scalp toners on my scalp as the ONLY variable of treatment to my hair the last 3 months, and have tried not using it as well to compare results. Overall, I have found that using a toner on my scalp has made an incredible difference to the health of my scalp, the speed of the growth in some cases, and the elasticity I have in my length when it goes through my hair.
After I protect the length and have shampooed my scalp, I rinse my head, and then will use either cooled Green Tea or Alcohol-Free witch hazel, preferably Thayers for myself, to rinse my entire scalp. I usually drizzle it with one hand, and use the other to distribute and massage the scalp a little with it. Then, if I have any left, I run it through my length. I use about 8oz per wash.
I notice that when I use green tea my scalp tingles a little, I have concluded this may be the caffeine in it, and I may be getting those benefits to my scalp as well through this rinse. I would be interested in trying black coffee in the future for similar effects.
Anyway, after my rinse is in, I wait about 2 minutes, and then rinse it out in COOL water, and then condition twice, and gently detangle.
I also wash my head inverted. I do not know if this makes a difference, but it certainly has helped me to do a more thorough job during washes.
Anyone else who has experimented with this? I have not seen a thread for it yet. :)
