How many washes do you do now? I only did one today since being off the detox and its working just fine so far..

I only do 1 and I let it sit on my hair while I exercise for however long that is. But to be honest since the detox I've only shampooed my hair once. Then I rinsed one day midweek. And then I did a cowash with an oil conditioner. My hair cleanses so easily now I think I've lost my mind a bit.

I couldn't do this before, my hair would just be nasty and my scalp would be burning after 4 days.

I do plan on shampooing this Sunday. I'm supposed to shampoo weekly and then cowash mid week but um, I haven't stuck to that schedule yet.

Has anyone tried the unscented?
Je Ne Sais Quoi, two stores not too far away carry the lavendar and unscented.

ooh, I see what you are saying. If I was shampooing I would to it twice. I never thought of that. I agree with you I think once is enough. It cleans well enough to get your hair clean. I do think if you keep your products (styling) as natural as possible or use light products that 1 wash would be enough.

I have not. If you try it please let us know. There was someone who was allergic to orange so they might be interested in the unscented as well.

Seriously yodie?

Can you pm the stores? How did you find this out?

I'm sure this list is not up to date but here is a link to the stores they say have Terressentials. It also shares about contacting a store to sell the product or letting them know of a good store to sell the product in.

So I did not wash my hair yesterday. So today is my day 2 of the detox.

I did a 1 oz wash with 1 oz of water (50/50). I did two very light washes using the first oz and then the last wash using the last ounce.


Styled with 2 pumps of Qhemet Moringa Tree and a couple of drops of grape seed oil.

I think I am going to space out my detox period and just wash again on the weekend. My hair feels pretty good. I almost didn't do the wash today.

It wasn't that easy to find. I've been on that site at least 8 times and never saw it. Not until you said something about stores did I think to look at it. And it was at the bottom. That site is not easy to navigate.

I think I will talk to my local health food store about carrying it.

My left coast lemon is supposed to be delivered on Wednesday....

The store locations on the website. (Sherman Oaks and Canoga Park). Neither store carries the lemon, but one store offered to special order it. Spec ordering would take a month. Ugh!

A month? wow! Did you not want to try the Lavender?

I went to for the lemon because I know my hair needed the extra moisture and I don't really like floral But people like the lavender.

I really hate to buy yet another product, so do you ladies really think this is an all time keeper or just a product of the month? My hair tends to be fine and dry, so I don't know if I should try.

I'd say bite the bullet and purchase just one and see how it goes. No one can say if it will be a keeper for you, you know? I like it because I rarely ever use shampoo anymore (maybe 2 or 3 times a year i'd guess??) and this helps to get my hair clean and prepped to really take in my conditioner. This in itself doesn't make my hair smooth but once i throw on my conditioner in the shower my hair is just buttery and heavenly. I'm natchal by the way if that makes a difference i don't know.

I'm not a product of the month type of girl. And I don't recommend a lot of products. In the 1 year I've been on here I think I've only said I really liked 3 products. Taliah Waajids conditioner, Morrocco Method mud detox and now this one.

My hair is also fine, dry, 4b but dense. For some of us we had been struggling with finding products for a while so we weren't looking for the next big thing we were just looking for something that worked. And this worked for most of us.

Ok -I'm ranting now. I think if you are tired of trying product after product, I would recommend it.

I'm not going to front. Recommending things is a little scary. But I do recommend this product.


It's good enough where I won't share it with my momma.

 

[hair4today]

yodie what faithVA said.^^^^ I'm not one to recommend hair products to others, too much responsibility I guess, especially when hair care is such an individual and deeply personal thing. I rarely post but was inspired by the great results I was getting with the TE mud wash to come out of lurkdom to share my experience with others (first time ever). I think its a superb product that works. IMHO $10.75 for a 8 oz shampoo that doubles as a detangler/conditioner/DC is a good buy so why not give it a try. I really don't think it will disappoint. That's my

hair4today, thanks for stepping out to post. I really do appreciate it!
Thanks faithVa and Je Ne Sais Quoi

I did my fourth wash last night. I still lost a lot of hair, so that's a little scary. I slathered on some moisturizing conditioner, so I'd be able to detangle by hair. Then, I used the wash, and I felt the same stripped feeling. After I rinsed, I applied a little of my conditioner as a leave in with some argan oil. My hair feels different today. It's less straw-like, actually feels nice and soft. I guess you do need to doctor it based on your hair needs. Thanks ladies! I heard from the company, and they said what I was experiencing was normal. I just couldn't continue with my hair being that dry. That has to be very damaging.It's a good thing I'm getting a trim this week so I can get rid of these knots.

today is my 5th day of detox and i will begin washing my hair 1x until friday...when i was washing my hair yesterday with the 2 washes back to back, i noticed my hair felt very clean and strong. i can tell my hair is changing for the better. i used aloe vera gel to set my hair and used shea butter to seal my ends for my braid out. this morning while taking them down i noticed how shiny my hair is. i have some patches in the back that are 4b so it was a bit dry and frizzy. i rubbed some aloe vera gel through my hair once i was finished and i must say my hair looks great. i was a skeptic before but now i am believer that the mud is working for my hair.

Any way ladies in the uk can get their hands on this (dammit i neva shoulda left the US ) ?
When i am at the terressentials website, in the address section, it won't let me enter a uk address.

 

[Tamster]

Damn yall. Ok so the shipping from Sage Natureceuticals is 6.25, but they are selling each bottle for 15 bucks!

And the place in IL is not carrying it. Apparently they try out all the products before selling and they didnt like it. It made his hair soft, but he said it left a residue on his scalp and his wife's scalp. *shrug* dah well.

Looks like for me the best deal is to order it from the Terressentials site itself. I hope the 8oz will last me.

Has anyone notices a straightened effect? My kitchen is no longer a kitchen... my coils are gone almost like a relaxer in some areas... My hair was and is very easy to detangle, I didn't lose alot of hair and the hair is softer.

I haven't noticed straightening, just more definition in my texture. However, I'm not losing much hair at all when I detangle

Bumping for more responses.......please

My mom uses it as well and her hair appears straighter. I think the hair just softens up more so the curl pattern is a little softer which may be the reason it isn't so hard to detangle.

My hair overall hung more and just feels lighter. Before it was just packed to my head now it just feels more airy if that makes sense.

I did two days of detox with the lemon scent. I parted my hair in 4 sections wetting each section & applying the mud. It took 2 tablespoons for each section. I let it sit for an hour each day.
Day one I noticed my wack patches were curling at the ends. I never wash my hair loose this was the first time and I never use a comb to detangle so this fits my regimen perfectly. after washing my hair was detangled and I put kckt with avocado oil to seal.
Day two same thing just styled my hair in twist using KCKT and AO to seal then aloe vera gel & QBBRC to twist.
Since my curls are apparent my hair shrinks a bit more so my twist are a little shorter but the ends look great!
CON: I HATE THE LEMON SCENT!! uggh I feel like I am washing my hair with lemons
ALL IN ALL THIS IS A KEEPER!!!

What I have noticed since my two day detox:
1) I moisturized the day after my second day wash and its 4 days after my wash and my hair is still moist. I usually have to moist & seal daily.
2) I have my hair in two strand twist and the ends are more defined in the areas that didn't curl at all.
3) I have a problem scalp and it feels moist and tingly when I massage my scalp. My scalp just feels fresh and clean although I use oil to massage.

I have been looking for a natural product for my hair since I have scalp issues and this works perfectly for me. I had no need to DC. DC will be more of an option rather than a need. This product is a staple for me. I will just deal with the smell. LOL

My back kitchen has always been my weak spot, the most delicate section on my head. When I was relaxed, I had a permanent bald spot back there. As a natural, it grew but was still a trouble spot so that area needed mega TLC to limit breakage. Since starting with the mud wash, my kitchen has gone from dry, parched, tight curls to looser springy, defined curls -- so much so --that I swear I've got a 4a patch back there when I thought I had a full head of 4b curls. Perhaps faithVA is right, maybe the mud wash is gently loosening our curl patterns and in your case maybe you had loose-ish curls to begin with so its making the curls in your kitchen area straigher. As a possible fix, perhaps you could try applying the mud wash to your kitchen area last so that you're limiting the length of time you have the mud wash on that section of hair. Just a thought...

Thanks I will try that. I was getting a bit concerned!!!

Ediese When I was doing my detox, my hair felt pretty dry but as soon as I applied a hair butter or oil, it was pure softness. I only did the the detox for 2 days.. my hair was shedding a lot so I decided to stop it.. I plan to wash every other week.. so my hair will detox over a couple months.

This is definitely a keeper for me... I say put some butter or oil on your hair after the wash and see how it feels... I feel like conditioner defeats the purpose... Anyway.. no one knows your hair like you do... If you feel it's shedding too much, then manipulate less.

Good luck.

If you are leaving the mud wash on for extended periods try going back to just 20 minutes. And when you go back to you using the mud wash for your shampoo your hair will adjust to wait your true curl pattern is.

The mud wash doesn't make any permanent changes to your hair, it just removes unseen things that have been there for a while.
