  • Hey Loves x
    So after almost a year, I finally decided to try out the bentonite clay mask. I wanted to use the Aztec Indian clay mask but I can't seem to find it in the UK (online anyway), so I used this clay from amazon:
    www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...
    Mist Sprayer
    IGEMY 300ML Hairdressing Spray... www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B071Z7YLF...
    It came out pretty good and i'll definitely be doing it again. I have a feeling i'll get more definition with the Aztec clay so when I find it i'll let you know if there's a difference in the results

    To anyone trying this for the first time: do NOT try to detangle with this in your hair. It's clay, you will never get slip with it due to the natural properties of clay. 2. If you have trouble with single strand knots this is for you! I use the clay twice a month a never get them anymore.

      i also use clay 2x a month and have noticed little to no single strand knots and i just did a trim a week or few days ago. So I'm definitely going to continue using clay 2x a month and might use it more often!

    I was JUST thinking of doing a rhassoul clay wash for the first time. I wanted to make it really watery to make it easier to apply and wash out. Kind of like Fusion of Cultures’ recipe.
    If you did this again, would you make it pasty or would you liquify it more? Do you think you could get the same results with watery clay? Gorgeous turn out 😍

    I was wondering if I could do it with just water instead of Apple cider vinegar ? Or would that not work

      Emmey J It wouldn’t work , the ph level would mess with the clay, it’s best to use the Apple cider vinegar

    The clay is great for your skin, so skip the gloves next time! Help the planet and your cuticles lol ❤️ I'm trying the clay mask for my hair right now and I'm so excited for the turnout!

      I did it it on dirty hair, the clay replaces your shampoo step
