My Weekly "Regimen"

Hello all! I have a new regimen that I've recent started in order to rebuild my scalp strength after my allergic reaction to the Terresentials Mud Wash. I've used Shea Moisture before but I used their African Black Soap Deep Cleansing shampoo for my dandruff. Now that my dandruff problem is fixed, I've began to use their Organic Raw Shea Butter Moisture Retention shampoo for my dryness and let me tell you, my hair is soft even before I apply the conditioner! I usually co-wash one or twice a week and use the shampoo whenever I feel like my hair have heavy buildup. I then apply their Organic Raw Shea Butter Restorative Conditioner, I apply in the shower on soaking wet hair, comb through and pin up while I actually shower lol. I like to get my hair and body done at the same time! After I'm clean, I flip my hair over and rinse the conditioner out with cool water (I actually rinse my body with cool water too). Once I'm out the shower, I apply my Giovanni Direct Leave-In, shea butter or coconut oil to seal in the moisture and place about 6-8 twists in my hair and let air dry. I like to do my styles on damp hair so once my hair is as damp as I want it, I apply a fingertip sized amount of Shea Moisture's Curl Enhancing Smoothie to each section and twist or braid, do whatever style I'm doing. On my hair, it doesn't take a lot of the smoothie, if I apply to much my hair will never dry and it'll feel waxy, so be weary of how much you use. In combination, these products keep my hair soft, moisturized and manageable!

Back Again! A Terressentials review


Hello you guys! I've been pretty busy working and doing school work and I haven't had time to post and I apologize for that, but I'm back!
So as you all probably know, I started using Terressentials Mud Wash after wonderful reviews and a recommendation from my absolute FAV vlogger Whitney, aka Naptural85 on YouTube. I LOVED this mud wash from the first use! I detoxed for about 4 days and used the mud wash every week and a half as I would a regular shampoo. I applied the mud wash exactly how Naptural85 and Terressentials said and it worked beautifully! By using this, I didn't have to use any conditioners! My hair always retained moisture and was soft as soon and I rinsed out the wash, but then I discovered I was allergic to one of the ingredients *insert sad face here*. I really wish I could have continued using Terresentials, I could actually see myself becoming reliant on my natural oils and all natural products! After about 6 weeks, my scalp started to become more and more tender and red and started to scab up. I thought this was just a side effect from switching from one shampoo to a mud wash so I continued using it thinking the itching would go away. I finally realized that it was indeed the mud wash. Not speaking ill of Terresentials, I HIGHLY recommend their products (I used the Lavender scent) and really really wish I could continue using them. I may give them another try actually but use the fragrance free kind. I will def let you all know!
