Thank you for another great video. Would you recommend this for someone with seborrheic dermatitis who is really sensitive to oils?

[@AfopeAtoyebi]

Hiya! I sure would! Cade oil is one of the more common ingredients I use in my ointments for treating scaly conditions, so it's definitely worth trying. If you are unsure how your scalp would react to using oils, then I would suggest you add the cade essential oil directly to the clay mask and use it that way, instead of applying the oil mixture first? If you are mixing it with the mask, add a couple more drops though so its effectiveness isn't drowned out by the concentration of the clay. I'd say about 10-12 drops instead of just 7. Will you please let me know how it goes? 💛

[@olubukola44]

Afope Atoyebi Thank you 🙂

The moment... When you live in a remote hippie village in egypt, really need a detox, find this video and think you have to probably wait until you’re back in europe to get all this ingredients for really expensive somewhere online... and then you try the nature shop up the street literally 50m away and find EVERYTHING you need there for about 20€ total... then you know you are in the right place! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!!

[@299meena]

I know this is probably veryyyyy late but in Egypt and Morocco you can find ghasoul or Rassoul clay which is an amazing detox for the scalp + skin

Thank you so much. My hair has been breaking for months...I detoxed using this recipe and the breaking stopped immediately...thank God..I thought I was gonna go bald.

It’s very interesting that bentonite clay is beneficial. Where I grew up, lots of the ground was bentonite. As a kid we would go outside after it rained and make sculptures.

I came across ur video because I knew I needed to detox my scalp just didnt want to use the acv, baking soda method. I use the bentonite and kaolin clay. And boom! My scalp feels so much better. Thanks again

I used to have so long, thick, silky smooth, shiny and soft hair before, I really loved my hair and everybody would compliment me until one day my hair turned into my worst nightmare due to excessive hairloss,it's been 4 months since my hairloss started and my hair are ruined, I even lost hopes and was soo insecure about my hair but now I am trying to revive my hair and I would definitely succeed!! I thought of starting with my scalp first that's why I searched for such kind of video and I immediately subscribed you!! Would share my journey with you all once I get all of these products and try this out as my first step

Any luck? Please share what didn’t or did help? Crying as I lose more hair every day

Thank you! I had a really itchy scalp for a couple of weeks and had no idea what to do so I just stopped doing my hair. I'm so glad I know how to solve the problem next time.

Yaaaaay 🥰🥰🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@dearinsomniadontletthebedb9237]

My scalp has been itching for the past 2 weeks and im confused as well. I dont have money for clay but im hoping simplifying my routine will help😩

[@ClioMako]

You can make a mix of cucumber and tomato juice, and use it on your scalp from 30 mins to 1 hour before you wash your hair. You can also use a gentle sugar or salt scrub to get rid of any gunk on the scalp.

[@MK-hh1vo]

This was great! I've always heard you just need to add acv to the clay, no water. I'm going to try your mix and note the diffrence. Thanks for the tip about *distilled* water! BTW I assume it's 5 drops of cade oil but you didn't say for sure.

[@brykela]

You are the best! I miss you! When are you going to start uploading new videos?

[@Gloria_Chav]

Thank you so much! I’m type 2c hair started getting supper itchy scalp after straightening and dry shampoo 2Xs in one week. I had ordered the ingredients a while back and just got the urgency to do it last night after being SO uncomfortable. LET ME TELL YOU: That cold clay feeling on my scalp was soooooooo soothing! I finished it late at night and followed it woth a strengthening treatment mask that I left on overnight. Finishing styling now 💞 sooo happy and relieved! Thank you so much!

[@wildeliseortiz4734]

Thank you so much! You are so beautiful btw 💜

[@ileanasantamaria2364]

Again, brilliant work! I am wondering whether extra clay wash I made can be frozen, and also whether aloe vera can be substituted for water in the clay wash recipe. I found an aloe vera juice infused with 10 percent honey at an Indian market. Thanks again!!!

[@ECRT1]

I use naissance oils and essential oils too! Glad to know that they’re decent, especially if you’re using them! I’m going to book a face to face with you soon, are you doing F2F anytime soon? 💚

[@invadazim7364]

Thank you!

[@reane7365]

Your videos are awesome and helped me find some products for my low porosity hair. I just wanted to ask, do we have to use all those clays to detox the scalp? or are we able to use just the water and ACV?

[@gracepotts]

My personal fave is rhassoul clay💕

[@n.k.4481]

Love this content!! I just did an ACV rinse a couple days ago. I’ve never done one before 😳. I feel my hair is dry but I’m working on moisturizing it well. But I do feel such a difference in my scalp, and considering I should be doing this about once a month, I can’t wait to see how this affects the health of my hair/scalp!

[@AfopeAtoyebi]

Yeah ACV is anti inflammatory so it can be really great for the scalp especially. Also, fun fact, your scalp's pH is slightly acidic (as is ACV when mixed with some water), so it's a great way to "restore factory settings".

[@dadisig.3445]

Well, she has my vote and subscription From the beginning Due to her professionalism. Now I’m actually watching the rest of the video. If I could only give her more subscriptions 🤔👍

[@dammyoduko4131]

Just watched your video, very informative!! I had a question though... you mentioned to maintain a detoxified scalp, we shouldn't add anything but shampoos to our scalps, not even oils. How do we keep our hair and scalps moisturized?

Can you do a video on how to manage psoriasis pls?

Hey Afope! I have always been dealing with itchy scalp even after a detox. I always put my hair in a protective style so I was wondering, can I apply sulfur 8 to my scalp? And also what do you think about sulfur 8 Nd please do a video in grease!

[@julimuna8049]

Afope please any idea where I buy the clay in Lagos?

[@AfopeAtoyebi]

I haven’t personally bought some in Lagos before, but I did find this website: organic.ng/product/bentinote-clay/ They sell it by weight from 200g for N2k - 10kg for N30k. You shouldn’t need more than 500g-1kg though. And apparently they do free shipping to anywhere in Lagos! Of course, Thai might be tricky during lockdown but contact them anyways. Can you please let me know if your experience with them is good, so I can know whether to recommend them to other people who ask?

[@julimuna8049]

Afope oh thanks again. Once I get mine will give you a feedback then.

Hi Afope! When should this detox be done (before shampooing, after shampooing, etc)?

Hello ! So gratfull for all your videos, learnt so much about hair and the best way to take care of it. You 've got a new fan from Morocco.☺️ I have two questions I have psoriasis can i use the oil and clay treatement? I wear hijab as a Muslim how can i take more care of my hair?

[@tayshunbledsoesmother191]

Can these ingredients be premixed and stored for later? If so, how long can you package and store it for and how do you store it?

Do you want the long or short answer 🙌👌👌 nice video 👌💜 I'll try this out💟

[@keyamoore8031]

Thank You for that. I work in healthcare❤❤

[@peepla7]

If it helps put the water in the bowl first and then use a fine mesh strainer and sift the clay in little bit by little bit that gets rid of lumps because there won't be any when you're stirring it in a little bit by little bit and then he loves us actually in the strainer can be smushed out before it hits the water.

[@vanessasmallridge3895]

[@dorisw2507]

Okay, I like how my hair reacted afterwards.... but it didn't work as well for me during. My clay mixture was so tough, I even added double the amount of water in the end. Are some brands of both theses clay different? Maybe my clay was old?

[@user-fy4us4jm8v]

Tysm for these great informative videos. I've just subbed. I'm trying to catch up. Question: why don't the two clays bind to each other? Also on another note: I'm not sure what my porosity is. Do you have a professional recommendation for a method to determine porosity at home? xo New sub

[@adi9296]

This is my HG scalp detox remedy now. My scalp has never felt cleaner. I have a question though. How long can I store the excess? Should I refrigerate it? My hair is bleached from mid-length to the ends, so I only apply it to the scalp. I didn't think it through and ended up making too much, and there's way too much left to just throw away.

[@shaniamalek1054]

Can I do the first recipe without the kaolin clay? I have everything else to do this recipe except for that and I can’t seem to find any that I don’t have to order online. Thank you!!!

I think I’ll try this again. My hair used to respond really well to clay washes. I don’t know what happened but all of a sudden my hair would be wrecked after using clay. It would take a few washes to fix it. I’m not sure what changed.

[@ew2604]

So when using the hair mask... do you apply it directly on a dry scalp or wet ? I never done a hair mask before so I’m practically new to it lol.
