Bentonite Clay!!!

Hello Loves!
Recently I've been hearing a lot about bentonite clay and it's amazing effects on hair and skin, I researched (via Youtube and various blog sites) about the product and finally went to Whole Foods and purchased Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay. I FELL IN LOVE!!!

So my hair is heat damaged and the curls fall however they feel that day so after hearing about how POPPING my curls would be, I purchased the clay along with some apple cider vinegar and pure aloe vera gel.

First I began with about 1/2 cup of the clay. The clay is very powdery so beware of the dust that flies in the air, don't inhale! Now I have Shoulder length hair but it's VERY thick so I need to use a little more clay to coat my hair, adjust the amount to whatever is right for you. So in a bowl (do not use metal utensils!!!) I add the clay and mix in enough apple cider to make a thick paste. Once your clay has reached the right consistency (like a facial clay, just a little thinner), add in about 1-2 tbsp of aloe vera.

To prep my hair I spritz it with water until damp. I apply the clay on dirty hair, as if I'm doing a regular shampoo. In sections, I apply the clay, thoroughly coating the hair. Once your hair is completely coated, cover with a shower cap and let it sit for 20-30 mins, just DON'T LET THE CLAY DRY!!! If the clay dries, it will be extremely hard to remove from your hair.

Rinse your hair with warm water and co-wash to make sure all the clay is removed. I made the mistake of not co-washing and I ended up with clumps of clay on my scalp. After co-washing, DEEP CONDITION!!! This clay treatment is like a mini detox for your hair and scalp and you need to add moisture back to your hair.

Enjoy your popping curls!!!
