The best way to dissolve Green Tea

[riptiduh]

The wealth of info on this site has helped so much, thanks to all of you!

I just wanted to know the best way to dissolve green tea (the powder from beyondcentury) to make a good topical between the minoxidil 5%?

 

[CCS]

don't use minoxidil. Use everclear and water. Even 50% water 50% vodka would be good.

Minoxidil mixing is for the laziest. Don't mix experimentals with proven treatments, or you risk ruining the proven treatment. Do them in separate containers.

um... vodka? :freaked2:

Just drink real green tea.....why make it so complicated?

 

[Chemical J]

I wasn't planning on putting this sh*t on my head...

But yeah what cassin said chrz to that!

 

[blueshard]

they want to make a topical hence, that is why they just don't drink it

drinking it will not help your hair.

Cetaphil cream works just fine as well...

I know drinking green tea is extremely good for your health, but as far as hair loss, at least from everything I have read here, it almost does nothing. The post from Old Baldy here: http://www.hairlosstalk.com/discussions ... light=egcg explains that green tea might just be an effective treatment. I know this is a little ridiculous, but anything I can do to keep what I have right now or at least grow a little back would be wonderful. It sounds this might be the easiest, most cost effective way to add a a strong (but small) defense to your hair.

will the alcohol and water mixture get sufficantly absorbed into the skin and can spironolactone be added to. thanks

Any thoughts on what percentage to make it? I just bought some green tea extract and planning on adding it to a light shampoo I'll be using occasionally.

Has anyone tried just putting straight-up green tea in their hair (as well as drinking it)? Green tea is very cheap in bags and you can buy it at any grocery store.

CCS how does this sound as a transport matrix http://www.1fast400.com/?products_id=820

the only thing i wondering is if the molecular weight of green tea is low enough for this carrier

 

[parrotsmuggler]

I believe the molecular weight of green tea is under 400, therefore it would be suitable for most carriers (Phlogel, Transport Matrix, Avant Lab's carriers). The question is whether the Dermabolics carrier is best suited to lipophilic, hydrophilic, or ampiphilic (sp) actives and I don't know the answer to that one.

That's what I do. Since I use a teaspoon to do it, it's quite effective.

But that's only because I don't want to bother around with mixing it with anything; that's just more stuff for me to buy, plus I don't want to do it wrong either. I do suggest mixing it with something, if you can.

But again, it's effective even when plain.

the extract is cheaper than the bags.

 

[Sir Guy of Frizzbourne]

Has anyone tried those green tea extract pills that are meant for weight loss? I was looking at those in the store today, but I didn't know if they'd be worth a shot.

 

[riptiduh]

ok ok ok wait a sec.

Am I hearing this right CCS?

A nice cup of Green tea, maybe a teaspoon worth is just as effective as mixing it from the BeyondACentury powder? Only it costs more of course.

Oh, I know; I was referring to the stuff that you were talking about mixing the green tea with.

Orally, I take green tea in capsule form. Cheap, quick, powerful, and convenient.

So do you guys genuinely feel green tea is regrowing/maintaining hair?
