A few weeks ago, I ordered a bottle of Terressentials' Pure Earth hair wash (cool-mint scented). Overall, I'm pleased with the results.
Terressentials is an organic, all-natural hair wash made from mud. Yes, mud. The results of this mud can be rather strange. The website and bottle warn you that there is usually a seven-to-ten-day detox period for most hair types (although it can take longer, depending on your hair texture, sebum production rate, etc.). During said detox period, your hair is going to feel stiff, sticky, dry, and all-around nasty. Apparently, the hair wash strips plastic polymers and other junk that accumulates on your hair when you use regular shampoos.
I don't wash my hair too often--perhaps once every two to three days. When using Terressentials, you're supposed to wash your hair three times in a row on the first day, then twice a day for the next six to nine days, depending on the length of the detox period.
My hair looked and felt terrible for those first seven days; I had to comb and brush it constantly to keep it from becoming disastrously tangled. After the first week, though, my hair became VERY easy to comb/brush, smelled great, had zero frizz, and was qute shiny. It also seems to have a little more volume or thickness now.
Pros: Gets hair perfectly clean; smells great; organic and 100% natural; washes out easily
Cons: $29.50 after shipping costs; not much in a 16 oz. bottle if you have long hair
Long story short: I am going to switch to using Burt's Bees shampoo bars instead of buying another bottle of this hair wash. Although it works very, very well for me, I can't afford to keep using it at the rate I have been. I wouldn't recommend this product to a longhair for long-term use, but it's useful for the detox period, if not anything else.

Wow, I might try that. I've been thinking for a long time, that the tongue-twisters on the back of the shampoo and conditioner bottles can't be good.
It's a bit disappointing that it has to be some exotic substance from overseas though. Isn't there some local mud that can do the same job? Followed by, "natural" doesn't necessarily mean healthy. Arsenic is natural. The real test is, how long have people been using this mud, and do the people who use it have any health problems.

I'm sure that certain muds, if you will, contain certain nutrients or chemicals etc. that mud from, say, backwoods Alabama or upstate Rhode Island doesn't. I can't think of another explanation. :-P
Wow
