I’m All In

I’ve officially joined the Terressentials cult. I’ve sold my soul and signed on the dotted line (dramatization). I am now committed to washing my hair for 7 days straight. I don’t think that’s ever been done.

I received my Terressentials Hair Wash today. I am extremely pleased with how quick it was shipped and delivered. +1 for them.

I just washed my hair. I did two regular washes and the third wash I’m letting marinate in my hair mainly because I have extra time.

My first pick would have been the Lavender Garden, but I decided to go with the Cool Mint because it is the only scented one that doesn’t contain any citrus ingredients. I’m glad I chose Cool Mint because I’m enjoying the tingly, fresh feeling on my scalp right now.

I followed the directions. I may or may not have used enough because it was hard to gauge. I am accustomed to at least a little bit of lather. It’s hard to tell if the product is distributed throughout my hair without lather or color. I’ll get used to it.

My concern now is… will this 8oz bottle last me through the whole detox process? I almost bought two bottles, but if I didn’t like it, I’d hate to have two bottles of a product I hate.

My hair is already in a pretty healthy state, so we’ll see where this leads. My biggest challenge will likely be not using any other products.

Grape Seed Oil

Posted in Product Review by

So as you all know, I pre-poo my hair weekly. When I first started pre-pooing, I was using olive oil and I loved it. I was also adding a little olive oil to my deep conditioner.

I started to read what other people used for their pre-poo and a lot of people used coconut oil. My hair generally doesn’t like coconut oil, but loves olive oil. That’s why I stuck with olive oil.

I decided to try coconut oil for a pre poo one day and it turned out great! I discovered that my hair loves a coconut oil pre-poo. In addition, I love the way coconut oil smells.

Recently I found grape seed oil in Trader Joe’s. I bought it, but didn’t have any plans for how I would use it. I decided to try it as a pre-poo and it was a major FAIL! It had a slightly heavier consistency than olive oil, so I thought it might work well. I actually didn’t consider the fact that you cant use any oil for a pre-poo. I thought any one would work well. It literally just sat on the surface of my hair. When I washed my hair it was just blah! It didn’t feel like it did anything.

Needless to say, I won’t be using grape see oil for a pre-poo again, but I will be putting it in my olive oil mix.

XOXO,
