Yes but you probably want to dilute it quite a bit and you wouldn't use it as often. However, because the mudwash is meant to detox the hair I'm not sure how effective it is when continuing to use products with more chemicals.
There are probably other products that are better suited for relaxed hair since it has gone through the chemical process.

I still use mud, but I make my own now.

I am. However I shampoo with the body wash instead of the mud wash. Got tired of my bathroom looking like a ****ty mess!

I use rhassoul or pink clay, add some of my fave oils and mix with coconut milk instead of water. Works out well.

itsallaboutattitude: How does it compare to the mudwash? What made you decide to try the body wash?

Hi. I got the idea from the detox instructions from their site. They said the body wash was an alternative. When I still want to mud I have sample sizes around. Bit 99.99% I now use the body wash in lemon or lavender.
I think I get away with it due to the texture of my hair. I find that my products absorb just as well using the body wash. Plus I get suds!
If my hair didn't respond as it did when I was using the mud, I probably would not continue using the body wash.
My wash routine is typically shampoo with body wash. Apply deep conditioner - Komaza Olive hair mask. Rinse. Apply Zuresh get it wet as a leave in and Qhemet Aethiopika butter to seal.
Twist or wear it out.

Hey ladies! 
Anyone else still "mudding"???
I've been using TE Lavendar Mud Wash since early 2015, but I have NEVER been consistent with it, nor have I ever done the FULL detox (I quit after day 2 ).... But I LOVE the way this mud makes my hair feel.
I want to try to do an actual detox after I take my extension braids out towards the end of this month. I want to stick to natural products only.
I've perused this ENTIRE board/thread and have read EVERYONE's responses.
My only questions are:
Is this true??
I was prepared to do the detox for 7 consecutive days, but now you're saying that we should only be doing the detox once every 3 days with the instructions provided? Has anyone tried this and received good results? This would make 21 days of detoxing (essentially).
Okay I'm confused... Should we be putting this mud on our scalp or nah?? When I shampoo/wash my hair with regular shampoo, I put the shampoo on my scalp and scrub my scalp with the balls of my fingers. Is that a no-no when it comes to the mud? If so, how do you get your scalp clean??

My only questions are:
- What types of all-NATURAL deep conditioning products (or ktichen ingredients) do you recommend for use with this mud? What will NOT undo the effects of the detox, or add cones back to the hair again? (I understand not needing to condition or even use a leave-in every time you wash your hair when you use this mud--it's quite moisturizing--but I just CANNOT wrap my head around NEVER needing to ever use a conditioner ever again.
I need something to condition my hair even while using the mud. I don't want anything unnatural though. Any good suggestions?)
- I intend to also use African Black Soap shampoo (Naptural85's homemade recipe) on my hair when I feel like I have too much buildup or my hair just needs a sudsing maybe once a month (if that), or once every couple of months depending on how my hair or scalp looks/feels. Do you think this is a good idea?

I still use TE Left Coast Lemon Clay Wash every other month when I do a major detangling session to help revive my coils. I never detoxed because I don't use products that cause build-up. I use it on the scalp, but some have problems rinsing it off, so they avoid the scalp. Water quality may be a factor on that.

This thread is helpful but it is only a guideline. Most people use conditioner and other products when using mud. There were only a few people who said they didn't need to. Not matter what other's said in this thread, you will have to find the pieces that fit you and work with those.
If you want to stick with more natural products that's fine. There are lots of natural lines you can use and get from Sally's, Target, online etc. You may already have some in your stash that will work. Kinky Curly is a very light line. There is also Shea Moisture, TGIN, Alikay, As I Am. Just read the labels and stay away from the ingredients you want to avoid. Over time you may find you don't need to be too much of a stickler because you can just mud and detox when you want.
As far as every 3 days, I think that is OK as long as you are using light and/or natural products on your hair. It is what we do for MHM and it works just fine. If you can do it 7 days in a row, great. But every 3 days gives you some options and probably would have helped more people complete the process.
Using black soap in between is fine.
I put the mud on my scalp and rub it in. I don't have any issue. There are people who have had issues with it and can't get it off. I don't product a lot of sebum. That may be what the mud is sticking to. I'm not really sure. You are going to have to try it. You will know if you have a problem rinsing it off. Nothing sticks to my hair or scalp so it isn't a problem for me.

I still use mud (NurCreations has a great clay wash btw). After "mudding" I usually use Shea Moisture's 10 in 1 superfruit masque as my DC. I rub the mud into my scalp and rinse well. I haven't had any problems of mud sticking to my scalp. I did the 7 day detox a few years ago with Terressentials and while I did have some dryness, my hair felt better and took to products better after the detox.

Does anyone know of some really good mud (clay) wash recipes? I have bentonite clay I am trying to use up.
Also, I heard Carol's Daughter is try to get on this trend with the Rhassoul Clay line.

Very basic, I used to mix my rhassoul with coconut milk. Sometimes, I'd add some of my favourite oils as well.

I also use a basic mix. 4 to 6 Tbs rhassoul, 1/2 to 1 tbs acv and water to a consistency I like. I stopped using extra items since I want my hair to be as clean as possible. Honey was nice but it works better when I don't want to wear my hair out. Oil is also nice but it has a tendency to weigh down my curls even if it is a little bit.
