[QUEENJAMES231]

Detox day one:
I used the left coast lemon

I avc rinse first.

Then I did the first application the way naptural85 did in her easy wash vid.

I did the second two in the shower with my hair in 5 sections like I would any other shampoo.

My hair was more defined then ever, and I had some pretty good hang time.
It felt clean, but not stripped and I had amazing shine.

The only down fall is my hair was tangled.

I will update with day 2 tmrw.

I think my order arrived! I got a notice I have a package to pick up @ the post office. I want to try it out today. Which wash should I start with - Lemon or Lavender?

 

[ProductJunkie]

Someone commented on one of my videos that they called and spoke with a rep and that the daily washing was what was recommended for Caucasians. She said for African Americans we should wash every 3 days until we complete the full 7 washes not necessarily 7 days consecutively. Which makes sense because Caucasians are known for washing hair daily (not to say we don't I know a ton of girls that co wash daily). Just wanted to share than info for anyone who was concerned about washing so frequently.

If you are going to detox I would say the Lemon just because it left my hair more moisturized than the lavender. My lemon bottle is gone too.. I have been using the lavender for the past 3 weeks. I like both though.

hmm, so I was all set to give this a whirl until I read her faq about using this on relaxed hair, which I have. Basically it sounds that if you continue to relax and wash with the mud, your hair will just not look right, for lack of better words. And I quote "If you intend to continue using chemical treatments for your hair, you will probably not be happy with the look of your hair when it is cleaned with the clay cleanser and finally free from the synthetic plastic coating agents. "
have any relaxed heads used the wash with success?

i bought the Lavender & Left Coast Lemon yesterday. I also bought two Morrocco Method mud shampoos, Pine Shale & Apple Cider Vinegar, & his Zen detox clay. I have been dealing with a scalp infection & hair loss in my crown for 3 years now. I've been using meds from the doctor & home remedies using tea tree oil, lavender oil, manuka oil, neem, coconut oil, castor oil, & emu oil. I'm praying something works to rid my scalp of this infection for good.

Please let me know how you like the Morrocco Method shampoos. I like the Morrocco Method products. I have used the Detox clay and I use the henna. But I had not ventured into the shampoos.

I like the Detox clay but I think the Terressentials Mudwash is better long term. But I do have 3 packs of the detox clay in my closet which I plan on using up in 2012. It's great for the face too.

I bought sample sizes of all the shampoos except the Chi last year when they had a BOGO sale for them. I also got samples of the Chi Mist & the Sapphire Mist conditioners. I really like the Apple Cider Vinegar & the Sea Essence shampoos & the Chi Mist. My hair was clean & not stripped & my curls were VERY defined. The Chi Mist left my hair very soft. I haven't tried my Earth Essence or Sapphire Mist samples yet.

The Pine Shale is supposed to be antibacterial & detoxing so I bought the full size one. The Zen detox & Apple Cider Vinegar were on sale together so I got those too.

I will have to slowly build up my collection as things come on sale every week.

Thank You. I had looked at the Apple Cider Vinegar shampoo was unsure. I like being able to buy multiple products from one company. Maybe I will purchase some samples when I buy my next jar of henna.

 

[growinghealthyhair]

Omg!!! I truly think I'm in love!!!!!

I tried the LCL tonight, and my hair feels and smells sooo good!!!! My curls are also more defined. I wonder why so? At any rate. I was able to detangle my hair with only fingers and I put it in twists which are usually never nice looking!! But today they look so lengthy and full.

 

[VinDieselsWifey]

my package came today. i guess i will detox with the Left Coast Lemon & save the Lavender for later.

 

[jayjaycurlz]

QUEENJAMES231 - So did you complete your detox?

[jayjaycurlz]

I'm going to start my detox using LCL tomorrow. I'll leave it in for an hour and then rinse and put in twists.

 

[nakialovesshoes]

I decided to try my own mud wash. I didn't get complicated with it. I only used bentonite clay & food grade AV. Much to my surprise my curls are popping like crazy. It looks like a different head of hair.

If the wash out results are comparable, I think I may be mixing my own from here on out. It's definitely cheaper this way & I don't have to go across town or pay for shipping to get it.

Isn't it amazing how much your curls will pop after a clay wash lol. I've never seen my hair look that way at all!! Please let me know your ratio. DIY would def save money!!
Do you get your bentonite clay locally??

growinghealthyhair
Sorry, no ratio. I have a TWA so I probably only put about an ounce of AV in the bowl. Then I poured enough powder to cover the AV in the bottom of the bowl. I lucked up because the ratio was perfect & I didn't have to add more of either to get the right consistency. I'll report back after I rinse. I'm curious to see will I get the same good feeling hair like with the Terresentials.

I get my clay from Whole Foods.

 

[growinghealthyhair]

nakialovesshoes

Wow. Totally didn't know that Whole Foods sold the clay!! I've never seen it there before!!

I hope yours comes out well!! I'm going to pick up some clay tomorrow i think .

 

[jayjaycurlz]

Okay I'm ready to apply the LCL to my hair but I'm not sure how. I've looked on YouTube and the application differs. LHCF ladies, how do you apply your mud wash? Do you do it on damp or dry hair? Do you use plain water, ACV or AVJ? TIA

I don't think asking us is going to help narrow it down for you We all do it different ways because our hair is different.

My hair is 4B, medium density, natural, SL. So I take 2 TBSP and mix with 2 TBSP of distilled water put it in a glass bowl. I wet my hair in the shower and separate my hair into 6 sections and then while applying split those sections and apply like a relaxer.

I have never done it on dry hair because its too hard for me. But I have applied it without mixing it with water. I just preferred it mixed because it was easier to get on my strands. And I didn't see a difference in the result.

But I know some put it in an applicator bottle. Some use it straight out of the bottle.

If you have never used it before I would recommend not mixing it initially with anything other than water, so you can see how it works on your hair. I also recommend diluting because people tend to be very heavy-handed and go through a whole bottle in less than 3 days.

growinghealthyhair
You should be able to find it in the beauty section. The 1 I frequent has the Aztec brand & one called Redmond Clay. You would probably overlook the Redmond brand because there is no mention of it being bentonite clay on the front of the label.

Also, I got the same conditioned/moisturized feeling that I get from the Terressentials. At a later date I will add some EOs for smell & added health benefits but for now I'll probably continue just using my own mix.

jayjaycurlz
I think the manufacturer's instruction is to use it on wet hair. I always wet my hair first with plain water. I know some do the ACV rinse 1st. I've only tried it that way once.

 

[ebsalita]

This is all very interesting. Gotta read whole thread

 

[KittyMeowMeow]

Thanks to this thread, I've been using the mud wash for a few months. It has transformed my hair! It's so soft, full, stretched, smooth, and easy to care for!

As others noted, using it throughout my hair & leaving it on for a 1/2 hour or so every week was too drying. I started just massaging it into my scalp for a few minutes then letting it rinse a bit through my hair, massaging briefly, then rinsing out. I only put it throughout my hair every few weeks to clairify.

My regimine is soooo simple now! I stopped using conditioners since they were causing build up, and now I just prepoo, oil rinse it out, mud wash, then my shealoe mix. Moisturize with water & oil as needed. And that's it!

Also, did anyone see faster growth with this? I had really slow growth, then started taking nioxin & it improved, then this, and it really took off. It was shedding at an extremely low rate (like, 1-2 hairs per day), and these increased the shedding to a more normal rate. I wonder if my hair cycle was moving slowly and this sped it up? Just wondering if there could be a connection...

 

[jayjaycurlz]

I did my 1st detox day with LCL! OMG my hair feels so clean and not stripped. I left it on for an hour and then rinsed. I can't go without added moisture so I'm twisting it up with my shea amla butter right now. It feels so soft!

 

[dlove]

LCL is a good product and I am enjoying this detox. Im on day 3 and cant wait to use an oil and butter on my hair after day 7!
Question: Is this something I should use for every wash day which is once a week or go back to washing with black soap and conditioning with AOWC then detoxing once a month?

 

[MA2010]

Decided to join you ladies in the mud wash club.

Today is Day 1 of my detox. I rinsed with ACV, applied the Left Coast Lemon, and will let it sit for 30 minutes before I rinse.

I plan to do another 30 min session then do my final wash in the shower.

 

[zoromo]

Did you see the post on using Borax for scalp infections? I have never used this, but the op said it worked for her.

i bought the Lavender & Left Coast Lemon yesterday. I also bought two Morrocco Method mud shampoos, Pine Shale & Apple Cider Vinegar, & his Zen detox clay. I have been dealing with a scalp infection & hair loss in my crown for 3 years now.

[jayjaycurlz]

Okay so I just completed my 2nd mud wash today with LCL on my strands and Mint on my scalp - I loved the tingle of the mint and the clean softness of LCL. I then did a hard Aphogee protein treatment and man did my hair feel strong AND soft! I didn't really think I needed to follow-up the Aphogee with a moisturizing treatment but I DC'd with KBB Luscious Locks anyways just in case.

Terressentials is amazing! I never thought that my hair would feel as soft as it did after rinsing out the Aphogee treatment, it normally feels hard and straw-like after such a hard protein but LCL balanced everything out.

I will be using this combo again when I take down my twists in a few weeks.

ok so i just started using bentonite clay due to this thread and im in love. im a fellow transitioner...1.3 yrs post with most of my hair being natural. i made the leap bcuz my hair has been sooo dry, and my hair is usually never dry. the bentonite clay has made my moisturizers way more effective. truely an amazing find. and when mountainroseherbs.com has rhoussal clay again i'll mix the two to get close to the te effects. but thank u to whoever started this post its saving my hair. oh and if u ladies have ne advice on ways to make my hair more moisturized that would be great!
