Mud Hair Wash=NO DC?

[faithVA]

hair4today[/USER];14319109]
Now that you mention it, I too am wondering what the heck they have in these AO conditioners, they're all so darn thick. I guess with me having low porosity hair, its hard for such a thick product to penetrate lo-po strands which may explain why the AO GPB and HSR doesn't work for me. Hmmm got me thinking maybe they'll work better with steaming and on wet hair like hair4romheaven suggested. I hold on tossing...for now

Let me know if you find something. I tried it with the steamer and have tried it on wet hair. And I can never get it off my scalp. My hair is fine but it sticks to my scalp just like it sticks to the container. That is why I was going to try diluting it

I think my scalp just likes to suck things in. It always has. Is there such a thing as a porous scalp

 

[hair4romheaven]

faithVA & hair4today I dont put any conditioners near my scalp. I work it in from bottom up and stop at about 2' from roots. Try this as well as see if it works.

Can someone explain to me why use the mud wash everyday? That seems like an excess to me.

Chameleonchick its just the first few days in order to detox the hair. After that you use as a regular shampoo. Read the Terressentials website for further insight. It helped me a great deal.

Thanks hair4romheaven. I did try that the last time I used it. It didn't make a difference for me. It still left a white residue on my scalp that wouldn't come off.

It may help hair4today though.

This was my last day of mud washing and I am very happy with my results. I used Aubry Organics GPB to deep condition. I left it in for about 3 hours and rinsed it out without any problems. I am transitiong and have about 4 inches of natural hair and about 5 to 6 inches of relaxed hair. So far this look like my new shampoo.

Any pictures coming?

Yes I will have DH to take some pictures for me. Excuse the straight ends.

I start my detox on Friday. I have a ton of gel in my hair thanks to shingling my hair over the weekend. I'm thinking I'll have to wash my hair before the mud wash just to get the "gunk" out? Maybe cowash the night before? IDK.

 

[faithVA]

Ok I looked up the ingredients for AOHSR and the first ingredient is Coconut Fatty Acid Cream Base. Cream is a nono for my hair. I don't know how I missed that when I bought it.

So far I haven't found an ingredient list of what makes up Coconut Fatty Acid Cream Base. But I know my hair doesn't like anything that is white and creamy. I had to get rid of the Shea Moisture product for the same reason.

Not that this impacts anyone on this thread. I just needed to get that out of my system. Now I have figured out the great mystery of what is going on with my hair and AOHSR. So it will have to be tossed. Won't even be able to dilute that white stuff away.

These are a few shots after my DC. I need to update my sigi had to cut 10 inches so I could handle my hair better.





Sorry for the wallpaper pictures I don't know how to make them normal size.

Looks soft and like you have some nice curls.

Your pictures are fine. When you click on them they get bigger.

Hey Beany, haven't seen you in a while.

Try rinsing very well and then cowashing the night before. Cowashing would be less stripping than washing.

I would again suggest throwing in an acv wash. have you ever tried it? Try cw'ing first just to help loosen up and rinse away some of that gel. Rinse very very VERY well before you start your cowash.

Thank you faithVA I will try to put some more pics in after I take my twist down. I can't really enjoy it until it gets longer and I do my final BC. If you had not kept this thread going I would not have even tried this shampoo. I finally know what my real texture is like and I love the feel. I will admit this was the last thing I was going to try if it had not worked I was really thinking about texlaxing. But now I want to continue with my transition.

I would have never started this thread even though I loved the product. It's amazing it has made it 17 pages. I am glad that most people had good results. I am looking forward to hearing how its going with people 6 months from now.

 

[song_of_serenity]

Love the product but my scalp doesn't. :/ I do have a dry scalp and I usually oil it but didn't this time. :S no bueno.

 

[faithVA]

Switched it up this week, I only applied the mudwash to my scalp and massaged it in. I then cowashed with Zuresh Conditioner. For now I am going to use the mudwash every other week to see how it goes. I think alternating mud wash with cowashing will work for me.

Cowashed last night did my first day of detox. My hair feels soft but there is a residue. I'm not bothered by it though. Im in bantu knots right now

Sent from my EVO

Just bought both the Lemon Scent and the Lavender mud washes. Can't wait for them to get here!

I sometimes use a mixture of JBCO and sublimed sulfur on my scalp. Would this be ok to use after the detox? I'm trying to use all natural/organic products and hopefully I won't have to get rid of this mix.

I'm not sure about the sulfur. You may have to try it out. There was someone else on here that tried it after they detoxed but I don't think we got a full update on how it worked out longterm.

It may work fine or you may have to dilute the percentage of sulfur. If you do use it after the detox please let us know your results. tia

Did the second day of the detox last night. My hair looks so dry. It's soft, but looks dry. I used Naptural85's silky whipped shea butter mix on my damp hair and did a few twists last night. I can feel the shea butter mix on my hair, but it looks dry yall. I have low porosity hair, maybe I should go back to baggying my hair. I'm using the lemon mud wash which I thought was the most moisturizing one. Ahh well day 3 tonight (only 2 washes tonight).

Well you saide it feels soft but looks dry. I wouldn't worry about that so much. That just sounds like the detox doing its job. If you can just try to keep doing what you are doing with the detox (keep it simple) and using whatever moisture you need afterwards. You will have a better feel for what you hair is truly like on day 5.

Mine felt a little dry too I added some giovanni leave in condish and cocanut oil to my wet hair after each day to detoxing. These are a few pics of my first braidout after my mud detox.

I only had that 1 incident where my crown area felt really tender. Other than that I didn't have any issues with the sulfur during the detox. I'm still using the mud once a week & the sulfur nightly. No problems.

I finally got my steamer last week Thursday! So I washed my hair on Sunday doing the following.


I got a sample size Sultry Spice. I used the Left Coast Lemon for my detox and wanted to try another scent.

Water rinse
Applied undiluted mud in sectioned hair
Sat under steamer for 30 minutes
Lightly dried my hair
Applied Qhemet Olive and Honey
4 bantu knots

I've been wearing my hear out in a knot out and then re-twisting at night

I had a little bit of dry scalp yesterday, but put a few drops of grapeseed oil and all is well.

Will try to update my lhcf album with new pics.

My hair is thin (low, no density). I just use small amounts of the mud.

 

[hair4romheaven]

makemild how did sultry spice compare to lemon? I want to try the other flavors but get hesitant when I find something that works.

Keep an eye out on using the mud with any type of heat. Just monitor your hair and see how it reacts. By itself the mud is good. Using it with heat can be too much for some causing it to be overly drying.

Not sure if you rinsed before you steamed or not.

- I looked at the ingredients for all the washes. I figured that the essential oils would still work for me. I also am not totally loving the underlying scent. I was hoping it was just the Left Coast Lemon, but I can still smell it in the Sultry spice.

The Sultry Spice worked just as well as the LCL.

@faithVA I steamed with mud-in. I only used a little bit. I basically section my hair in 4. For each section I split it once more and then added mud to those sections. When I re-twisted my hair to get to the next section, I could see that there was mud in my hair.

Loosed it all out before going under the steamer. My hair just felt nice. Not dry or anything. Just had a little bit of scalp issue, but a little grapeseed oil and I was good.
