Love the Mud? This is for you! Three 8 oz bottles of Lavender Mud Hair & Scalp
Cleanser: and get a discount! (Note that shipping within the US will likely be
cheaper than stated, as little as $7, depending on your location. Don't worry -
I refund excess shipping costs!)
A radically natural solution for a happy scalp and healthy, glossy hair with
incredible volume. No lab-created chemical surfactants that foam - the full
ingredients list is clay, a handmade organic mixed herbal extract, organic aloe
vera, and organic essential oils - that's it!
Clays have been used to wash the skin and hair for centuries. Nettle and
horsetail are traditional nourishing tonic herbs for strong, healthy hair. Aloe
vera, cedarwood, and lavender cool and tone the scalp.
This is 'no poo' done right, gentle, delightful to use, and kind to an
irritated scalp. Because it doesn't strip your hair of oils, which leads to
subsequent oil overproduction, you may find you need to wash your hair less
often! Leaves nothing on your hair, so hair has more body, bounce, and volume,
and brings out curl for those with curly and wavy hair.
Ingredients: red clay, water, extract of organic nettle leaf, extract of
organic cornflower blossoms, extract of organic horsetail leaf, organic aloe
vera gel, and organic essential oils.
Directions: Shake bottle until the contents sound milkshake-thick. Wet hair
and scalp, and pour a small amount of this slippery-textured Mud into your
hand, massage into scalp in sections, and rinse (no need to apply to the hair
itself). Rinses out easily and leaves hair slippery and easy to comb, as though
it's been shampooed and then conditioned! The cleanser will not foam or leave
hair “squeaky clean” and overstripped like conventional detergents – but it
will leave your scalp clean, exfoliated, and refreshed and your hair
voluminous! Follow with an optional diluted vinegar rinse (1 tablespoon apple
cider vinegar to 1 cup water - I like to add a few drops of essential oil to my
bottle of acv first) for extra shine and slip, and rinse out. You truly do not
need conditioner when using the Mud! The Cedar Shea Hair Texturizer makes a
terrific complement to the Mud if you need smoothing and moisturizing,
particularly on the ends of your hair (where everyone needs conditioning most):
three 8 oz lined aluminum bottles with handmade label and info sheet with full
ingredients list. (also available in a single 8 oz bottle: and in a 4 oz
bottle, for the curious: )
Scent: clean, well-rounded lavender and cedarwood, unisex
Texture: milkshake-thick mud, rinses slippery
HERE'S A SMATTERING OF FEEDBACK:
"I'm very glad I took a chance on this. I wasn't too sure how it would clean
my hair since you don't use it on your hair, but just your scalp, but it
actually works! My hair is about three feet long, so it's pretty amazing that
massaging some red clay into my scalp would actually leave my hair soft, clean
and voluminous like advertised. I'm sold!"
"This stuff is miraculous. It cleans my scalp, leaves my hair smelling fresh
for days and allows me to totally eliminate ordinary shampoo. I only need to
use it once a week, follow with an ACV rinse and voila, awesome hair. Plus it
arrived lightning quick with clear instructions and a kind note. You have no
idea how thrilled I am, after literally years of trying to go no 'poo while
still smelling great, to find this product. <3"
"Smells great. Feels great. Doesn't strip my hair. I don't use this everyday,
but I totally love this!"

WANT TO KNOW HOW THE MUD CAME TO BE?
My hair is what got me into making my own products. After I fell ill with
fibromyalgia, the synthetic fragrances and other chemicals in the conventional
shampoo, conditioner, and glossing serum I'd been using made me feel awful.
Over and over again I tried to make the switch to "natural" brands (whose
ingredients didn't seem all that natural to me...) but they left my hair
looking and feeling worse. Frustrated, I'd go back to my conventional haircare
and would suffer through the cloud of chemicals around my head all day.
I decided I wanted to figure out how to make the conventional haircare
products I'd been using, but without the "crap" that was giving me trouble --
and just like that my curiosity and passion were ignited, and before long Priya
Means Love was born. Right away I realized that the synthetic fragrances in my
conventional haircare were just the tip of the iceberg, that there were lots of
ingredients I didn't want anything to do with. Why not try to make haircare and
bodycare like I'd make food, relying on real, wholesome beautiful ingredients
instead of chemically manipulated ones, even if they're supposedly "better"
than the worst of the worst ingredients? The search for a clean, effective,
all-natural way to care for my hair led me down the "no poo" path. I tried so
many ingredients and methods (and had weird hair to prove it!) before I landed
on the Mud. I've used only the Mud over the past few years, and I haven't
looked back, and my hair is glossier, more voluminous, with better curl and
bounce -- and, frankly, my hair is much less of a pain than when I was using my
old conventional stuff! And in the process of solving my own personal haircare
problem, I learned so much about ingredients and formulating that before long
I'd developed the beginnings of a line of all sorts of truly all-natural
bodycare, from cream to deodorant to hair product.
