I see that sage naturalceuticals now sells Terressentials, I may place a phone order when I need more but the price is $15 for the small bottle, but they have other stuff and once you get pass $60 the shipping is free.

I have been looking at a few videos on YT and a lady made a video about a Coconut Mud Wash, Lemon Mud Wash and one more. There was also a video about how you can add more bentonite clay and alove vera juice to extend the Terressentials. Well you know I tried it. I took my Lavender (which doesn't work for me and leaves a coating a film on my hair) and put about 1/3 of it in a glass bowl, added Aztec Bentonite Clay, some Aloe Vera Gel I had left over and needed to use, some linden flower, sweet orange, and lemon essentials and turned about 4oz of Terressesntials Lavender into 32oz of pure blended Heaven.

It worked so much better for me. I still diluted one teaspoon with about 2oz of water, attacked my scalp and I got the same softness, the same curls poppin and NO FILM and coating left on my hair.

I then did the same thing to my Shea Moisture Purificaiton mask, not as good at the Terressentials blended results but still good and less banana smell.

At this rate I wouldn't have to order anything from Terressentials for over a year. I am still kinda not so happy with the customer service I have been getting from them so this works out great.

makeupvixen, I'd love to give your recipe a try as it sounds heavenly. Not a mistress by any stretch of the imagination so even if you don't have exact measurements the aloe and clay used, a guesstimate would really help. TIA.
 
i had to give the mud wash a break.......my scalp was getting really sensitive to any thing metallic. I wasn't able to use hair pins or any hair accessories that had a metal base.

I dont have an exact receipe, I mixed it to have the same consistency of Terressentials with aloevera and bentonite clay, then added about 1-2 squirts of the essential liquids, mixed in 1/3 bottle of terressentials lavender and that's it.
 
I am on day 4 of the detox. My hair is softer and the curls are much more defined. I am still frizzy but I will see if the frizz lessens at the end of detox. I need to develop a new moisturizing method.
 
I don't plan to detox until Thanksgiving week but I can't stay out of this thread reading all the do's and dont's.:lol:

I'm feeling the same! :yep: And my hair feels stronger too. My hair felt too weak for bantu knots, but now it feels sooo much stronger, and I was able to knot it up with no problems! Terrific!

Downside is, only natural products work in my hair since I've detoxed...and I have a whole lot of Not-natural products sitting in my closet, waiting to be used... Nice! :ohwell:

Well see if you can find the most natural products out of your collection and try those. But if those don't work the good news is, is that you need very few products in your regimen now to do what you need. A conditioner, leave-in/moisturizer, an oil and a butter.

You can always sell/exchange or give away what no longer works.

Hope that helps.

I've also noticed an irritation to metal products, though only a nagging irritation, nothing major and with some products more than others.
Something to think about.

It is something to think about. What is on the metal that is seeping onto the scalp and causing irritation. I don't have many hair accessories with metal. And there is a trend where many of the new hair accessories don't have metal parts. So I also wonder what is going on with the metal.
 
I did 5 days of the detox. I love my hair! I have only used JBCO and shea butter mix afterwards and everything is looking pretty good. I will stick with this and maybe mud once a week and just use my shea butter and oils.

As for deep conditioning I will stick with AOHSR and add honey and either grapeseed oil or safflower oil. I will also continue to henna 1 or 2 times per month.
 
I received my order today! I'm so excited. Started the detox immediately, and will document this in pictures from start to finish.

:lol: I feel the same way. I was using it every other week but I will probably switch to once a month and then cowash the other weeks. We will see.
 
I have read this whole thread and I am starting the detox today!

I went back and forth on this, but decided to follow directions for once :grin: My products are 98% or more natural and I'll still be using the same products after, but I'll detox anyway.

I'll use just coconut oil and hemp seed butter after washing today, but if my hair needs more I'll use Oyin Hair Dew for the rest of the week.

I agree! Before the mud, co-washing didn't work for me because I got build up and an itchy scalp.
Now it does! I never get build up and I only rinse my hair and add moisture every now and then, as needed. My hair seems to like the mud once every 2-3 weeks (maybe even once a month) and my scalp feels wonderfully balanced :yep: this is life changing lol. I mean, I am now confident that I can grow my hair as much as I like without going crazy.
 
I am on the second day of the detox and my hair, when wet, feels mushy, almost like I need a protein treatment.

Yesterday, I used the sample size of the fragrance free option for the three washes and it seemed clean and a little stripped, but not too bad. I used a bit of coconut oil and plain hemp seed butter to seal in some water/moisture. This morning it had dried really soft. Today, I used about an 1 oz or so of the Sultry Spice for the three washes. My hair felt over-moisturized; very, very mushy. I used a bit of coconut oil and cupuacu butter to seal in the water. It has been 6 hours and while my hair is not all dry (low porosity), it is drying really soft. Since I have been natural, I have never not used a leave-in so I don't know if to attribute the softness without products to Terressentials or not.

Did anyone experience this mushiness, for lack of a better word? I know people have written about dryness, but how about feeling over-moisturized. I am not using a rinse-out conditioner, only the Terressentials, coconut oil, and butter.

Thanks for your help.
 
I've gotten lazy with my hair.

I am now just wetting my hair in the shower, finger parting my hair into 1/2's. Squirting a quarter size of mud in my hands and distributing it into one 1/2 then repeating with the other 1/2.

Pin up my hair. Shower, then rinse mud and add leave in and moisturizer.

I didn't even bother twist up my hair.

Now what am I gonna do with it when I go to work tomorrow?

Ogoma I think because you use natural products you don't need to do the detox. I did not do the seven day detox on my hair. I only washed twice on the first day. My hair was springing ringlets. RINGLETS! Ringlets I tell you on my type 4.

I used it on DD and left in for an hour or two. I had flat ironed her hair two weeks ago with silk elements and another shine spray. She had lots of cones in her hair from that. So I decided to leave in the mud wash for a while with a plastic cap. I rinsed and realized I didn't need to detox. I use natural products almost exclusively on her hair.

I think if you use mostly natural products you don't need to do all that washing. I thought it was 3xs the first day and 1x for the next 6? I think you were washing too much Ogoma.
I always used a conditioner after. Sometimes I DC then rinse out with conditioner after. Then oyin hair dew/myc styling creme and seal with grapseed oil/evco/walnut oil. I used repair me, 613, then dc with AOHSR on DD. I then followed with oyin and oil combo. Maybe you need gpb or just a creamy moisturizer then oil Ogoma. To answer your question no we have no mushiness. We are just soft,super shiny and bouncy. The products I use just work better now and I don't have to remoisturize as often. Maybe you need light protein.

faithVA helped me out and she knows all about the wash I am sure she has some sage advice.

I have not seen anyone report mushiness. I would recommend at least doing your 3rd wash day and see how it goes. It typically takes 4 days of wash before your hair stabilizes to how it will be after the detox. The first 3 to 4 days many people's hair shifts between many states.

faithVA Today, day 3, it was stripped; dry and frizzy. I used Hair Dew today because it was too dry to go to work with just a little oil and butter. My hair feels much better, but it scared me. I used the remaining Sultry Spice and a bit of the Lavender Garden for the the second wash. It only felt stripped after the second wash.

I am not getting breakage or above normal shedding so I'll keep going because I want to experience what everyone has been raving about. So far, it seems the first day was the best.

Thank for you the advice.
