Play in the Mud: Pure Earth Hair Wash product review

One of my friends likes to try different hair products.  She often gives me the products that don't work out for her.  A few weeks ago I opened a bag from her and found a bottle of mud.  No.  But really.

As I am about trying new things, I was fairly skeptical, but decided to try and keep an open mind.  I mean, I didn't believe in co-washing a couple of years ago, but here I am a faithful co-washer.

So anyway, I tried the Terressentials Organic Pure Earth Hair Wash in the Cool Mint "flavor." (Yes, they are called flavors, not scents.)  This particular flavor REALLY defined my curls and helped me to rock a nice 'fro this week!  The only thing I did not like was that mud got over EVERYTHING!  Mud was dried up on my bathroom mirror, sink, and MY SHIRT!  Hopefully it will wash out easily from my shirt.  I plan to use it again...this time wearing an old shirt ;-)

Cuts Grease...AND Oil!

I don't know about the rest of you naturalistas, but I can sometimes get a little carried away when applying castor oil or EVOO.  And when I say carried away, I mean to the point where I have oil spots on my clothes.

A couple of weeks ago, I was styling my hair right after work...I shoulda changed out of my work clothes...smh.  When I finished with my hair, I looked down at my clothes and saw this:

Notice the castor oil stains on the bottom of my sweater & near the crotch area of the shorts.

Thankfully, a while back I learned (from a source I honestly can't remember) that dish soap gets out oil stains in clothes.  Remember, dish soap is used to cut grease, so it makes sense for it to work with oil stains.  I applied some Palmolive to the spots on my clothes & let it sit for some time, then put them in the wash.  Here's the result:

The stains are GONE!  YAY!
