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.

Hair Slump

I’m kind of in a hair slump. I guess that’s why I haven’t posted much lately. The things that usually get me out of a slump are new products or inspiration for new hairstyles. I haven’t had either one recently.

I straightened my hair this weekend. It looked really nice when I just finished doing it, but not as nice the next day… in my opinion. Don’t get me wrong, it still looked nice, I’m just overly critical.

I wanted to straighten it to examine my ends. Surprisingly I didn’t trim my hair this time. I can even see some growth between now and the last time I straightened and trimmed it (Dec. 2011). Has it really been that long? I’ll have to check the archives. I can’t lie, I may trim a smidge off before I wash it.

I’m not really sure what products to use in my hair to keep it straight (which seems impossible) and to moisturize it. I am trying to avoid putting too much stuff in my hair because I’m curious to see if I can go more than a week without washing it. So far, I’ve used a little bit of EVOO and the same straightening serum I’ve used in the past.
