I'm sitting with my rhassoul, black tea, garlic powder and grapeseed oil mix. I used the last of my rhassoul. 
I have other clays: pink clay, black clay, and sodium bentonite. I never used any of those before, so I'm already anxious for next week.

Currently sitting in a mask made of cammile oil, Marula oil, distilled water, shikkakai, aritha, brahmi, bhringraj, fenugreek, cloves, cinnamon, plantain powder, hibiscus powder, nettle, ginger, neem, aloevera, lemon peel, oats, green gram, and a few more.
This stuff stinks and felt like I was rubbing chalk on my hair. How long do you ladies leave this in? I'm going to wash with the terresteintals and DC for sure just to be safe.

Won't the clay wash be overkill (drying)? I have not used those herbs before, but I would skip to the DC to be on the safe side.

Finished treatment with DIY oil mix and ayurvedic butter mix on scalp and mini braids, air dried and in a bun.

Too late.
When I first applied the herbal mix to my hair, it did feel like chalk, but I noticed that my curls sprang into a medium curl pattern. Never seen that before when applying any product although I have never used a gel or styling product in my hair. While rinsing, my hair felt strong, silky and soft. I don't know if it was because I left in a hot oil treatment overnight or what it was but my hair felt great. If the herbs didn't stink I would have likely not used the mud but I did.
I used the terresteintals lavender something mud and followed the instructions washing each section 3 times. At first I thought my hair was tangling but it was like thousands of little well formed springy pin curls. I honesty didn't even know my hair could do that. I showed my mom and she says she has never seen my hair do that even as a child. I don't know if this was the mud or the herbs but I definitely love it. It was like my hair was awakened from a life long coma. It wasn't just the easy sections of my hair it was my whole head that developed these awesome curls. No DC or any product has ever done that.
Not sure what will happen now as my hair is still drying. I'll DC on dry hair as usual so I'll come back and report if it made my hair extra parched, but as of now it doesn't feel that way.

@sparkle25 I've never had an issue with dryness from using clays after ayurvedic mixes, but then again I've never used that combo you used. I think you should be fine. Do you dilute your terresentials? Do you think three washes are really necessary?

I didn't dilute it at all. I did the 3 washes mainly to get rid of the smell of the herbs, but I also wanted to use the product as the maker suggested for the first time. It says you're suppose to do this for the next 5-7 days so I'm going to just to see what happeneds. I'll definitely let you guys know, and I'm going to go lurk in the teressentials thread for further advice lol.

My hair is completely dry now and I haven't DCed yet. It's not parched. It feels softer than after any shampooing session. I wish I could just leave my hair naked all the time, I hate the feeling of oils and product but unfortunately its breakage city for me if I don't DC and put something in my hair. I'm still on a mission to find a moisturizer that doesn't sit on my hair or feel greasy. Sigh. I will definitely do this mask and mud cleanse again next week.

Hmm. I don't think my garlic powder dissolved completely. I'm noticing small hard white granules falling to my shoulders whenever I manipulate my hair. I'll use garlic oil from those pills next time.I'm sitting with my rhassoul, black tea, garlic powder and grapeseed oil mix. I used the last of my rhassoul.

Sunday I made a rinse with brewed coffee, Tulsi and Neem leaf powders; then let it soak under my DC with heat for 45 minutes.

My garlic powder didn't dissolve either, next time I use it I'm going to strain it for sure.

Will do a Guava Leaf Rinse tomorrow. And probably a heavily diluted ACV Rinse.

Did a different mud wash today. It was from an etsy store. It had Organic Aloe Vera, White Kaolin Clay, Rhassoul Clay, Dead Sea Clay, Hibiscus Flower Infusion, Pressed Hemp Seed Oil, Cold Pressed Avocado Oil, Wild Crafted Pracaxi Oil, Irish Moss and Bamboo Extract, Peppermint Essential Oil, Eucalyptus Essential Oil, Lemon Essential Oil, Lavender Essential Oil.
I thought it was gonna be drying because of the three different types of clay but it was beyond moisturizing ! It was way better than a teressentials and way better any deep conditioner I have ever used. my hair was clean , detangled and deep condition .

That mud wash sounds really nice. I am going to buy some kaolin clay next month. It is much more moisturising as it doesn't draw oils like the other clays.

I have this too but haven't tried it yet. Is it moisturizing as well as cleansing?
