I bought some green tea body oil and it smells really freakin good, but it says on it green tea BODY oil and I was kind of wondering if it would still be ok to use my dreadies and add to my baking soda water. Its in a vile and I bought it from the store, a taste of africa or something like that.

The body splash that is recommended for wax removal is marketed as a body oil, I suppose if the oil you have has natural ingredients, like just oils, it should be perfectly fine.

I surpose it could b worth a try, the liquid itself is really watery and not syrupy so that kind makes me think that a drop or two wouldn't hurt

Well the vile of green tea, doesn't list the ingredients, I did a test on my arm and it smells really freakin good, but little strong. But I imagine one drop in a gallon of water and baking soda would dillute it enough. I havent tried it yet but in a few days I might.I hate myself for saying this, but sometimes I miss the artificial smell of commercial shampoos.So thats why I'm kind interested in trying this green tea oil. And for the last 27 months, I've been using Baking soda, ACV and Dr bronners,Baking soda= no smellDr bronners= kind of has a weird smell, but the smells not so greatACV= smells pretty good and wears off after your dreads dry- also when I first tried ACV I got it in my mouth and didnt like the taste of it, now I like the taste of ACV which is kind of odd.I could also just dab a drop after I wash.I also havent tried herb teas, I do have access to alot of rosemary and thyme but dont really know what to do.Do you just boiling them in a pot of water and pour thru a sieve or filter and use the water right?
