I Used Clay to LOOSEN my CURL PATTERN NATURALLY

[@ltrotter636]

You are providing an incredibly valuable service to the natural hair community. Naturals are inundated with one new product after the next. However, as these natural hair companies get larger, THEY should be leading the way in helping naturals understand these various at-home treatments (clay wash, apple cider vinegar rinse, Cherry Lola treatment, etc.) and the science behind the treatments instead of just pushing new products. If they can pay scientists to create new products they can pay the same scientists to help educate us more on our hair. It's called good public relations. Thank you for doing what you are doing!

[@shauniebnaturalista6672]

I'm using Bentonite clay, mixed with Shikaikai powder to wash my hair for 6 months. This allows my hair to accept moisture so it curls beautifully. Then I mix Amla, oils and conditioner. It makes my hair amazingly thick and healthy. I follow this up with a THICK leave-in for extra moisture (sometimes Aussie Moist) before adding my gel.

[@цветок-ш7п]

I used your clay mixture, but instead of just adding coconut oil, I added shikakai infused oil so that it seriously cleanses

[@tatimusiclover5561]

with all the information and PROOF of research and experiment.. I had to SUBSCRIBE.. As a biochemist student I like to see substantial experiments and research within the hair community. I love you

[@NM-od3cr]

Could you do a video about what happens when you mix clay with apple cider vinegar? :)

[@imanitsunami3693]

Yes, a video on this please!

[@Raja-bz4yw]

Nico Marquardt agreed!!

[@mamasitadalmolin3408]

Rhassoul clay is a bomb !! I used if for my 2 years old daughter and for me and it just magic , hairs softs ,detangled, curl wonderfully defined !

[@ngreen522]

Loving this series! I was literally about to buy some Bentonite clay, but now I think I’ll wait until I see your next video. Thanx for keeping us so well informed!

[@nyaallain9635]

Me too!

[@queendiane2249]

i ditched shampoo , clay is so soft on my hair .

[@LinzeyLiNO]

Eniad K same here i also use shampoo bars now they are the bomb.com🔥🔥🔥

[@chalseywilder937]

I'm about to ditch shampoo soon too. And make my own shampoo bars

[@LUX_8]

What kind of clay?

[@MikeyandKae]

LEE i use aztec Indian clay & Apple cider vinegar to activate

[@Brwniee95]

How often do you use the clay?

[@christiank6840]

The most professional beauty video I've seen!!

[@itsjade4586]

Great Video! I know your video calendar is full a the moment but I just wanted to ask if it's possible to clean your hair with activated charcoal as well.

[@ErickaJ954]

It's Jade Same

[@drahaman]

Looking forward to part 3 of this series!

[@monicalduvall]

Can't wait for the comparison. Thanks for this video and the series! Very interesting.

[@naturallytls7468]

Hi green beauty great video as always, but I have a question for you. I heard other KZbinrs saying that if your hair is low porosity and you use clay too often it can change your hair to high porosity, is that true? Maybe you can shed some light on this. I trust your research because they are always so in-depth. And maybe you can do a video on CHEBE next time. Thanks again

[@Theresaboatengg]

Suzie Jaye really? Wow! I have low porosity hair and i will not use the clay that much anymore😭😂

[@theantoniosisters5296]

Suzie Jaye hi, I have low porosity hair and it's the only thing that works for my hair. I have no problmes using it but I'm protein sensitive so most Indian herbs and coconut oil makes my hair dry and break off. I'm goin to try Chebe as I want to see how it'll help me with having low porosity hair.

[@JessicaJacob]

Suzie Jaye I’ve been using FusionofCultures ghassoul clay regimen twice a month for two months now and haven’t seen any change in my porosity. I’m low porosity but I have some small sections of hair that are normal porosity. The girl I got this regimen from had been using her regimen for 7 years and so far I haven’t seen her say anything about changing porosity.

[@naturallytls7468]

Jessica M. Jacob thank you very much for answering the question. Much appreciated

[@naturallytls7468]

AntonioSisters Since81 sorry to hear that. The Indian herbs works very well for me. And I too want to know more about chebe, that is why I was asking for a video on it from greanbeauty. But I am willing to wait patiently on that video , because she only offer the best information so it's worth waiting on😊

[@Ossouko]

Shikakai powder is also a great alternative to shampoo and is gentle on your hair. Love Rhassoul clay works best for my low porosity hair.

[@pranayvlogs5726]

Ossouko 3 where do you clay from

[@yostralienne3123]

Thank you for this clay series! I was sooooo looking forward to it!!!! ♡♡♡♡

[@user-it8kw3wy2y]

Imagine the future. I'd love to create a natural supplement that can loosen one's natural hair texture. Instead of harsh chemicals applied externally, hair would grow differently. Man what a dream 🤣😹

[@CatWoman2000]

And what about Indian powder like Shikakai, Amla, Brahmi etc.?

[@hellow4130]

And henna!! That would make for a good video.

[@nyaallain9635]

Thank you! I look forward to the next video in which you compare the different types of clay.

[@wannabe41]

You packed so much helpful information into this brief video! Thank you!

[@i3abikay]

Thank you for the info. It's the next one I'm looking forward to. And I want to know if you'd do a video on Shampoo bars? Thanks for all you do!

[@deboradipama8211]

i wanted to know if green clay can be also use on hair and what are the pros and cons. I really love ur videos 😊😊

[@Martina_E]

Great video I can't wait to see the next video. I haven't used clay in such a long time. I'm curious to see your recipe!

[@LGJiG]

Great video! I'm also interested in knowing about henna and if it elongates hair.

[@longislandny696]

Me too👍🏾

[@starcherry6814]

How much protein treatment would you recommend using after a clay wash?

[@kimberlyskrobol9167]

I love your series on clay and am wearing your mask right now! ;) I wonder your thoughts on how well clay (particularly rhassoul) dissolves in water and therefore how safe it is to use on locs. I prefer rhassoul over any conventional shampoo, but need to make sure that everything is rinsed thoroughly and that I use exclusively water soluble ingredients. thank you!!!

[@GreenBeauty]

Hey Kimberly Good question. For locs I suggest you make the clay mix more watery so double or even triple the water in the recipe.

[@kimberlyskrobol9167]

perfect! thanks again!

[@bebechocolateinbarcelona-a5034]

Thx again for another wonderful video! I look forward to the following comparative video on the different clays. QUESTION: is there any oil/product that works as a moisturizer/hydrater for our hair that leaves your hair touchable? What final sealant/product can be used and later I can touch my hair without leaving my hand oily/greasy?

[@empressnelle9619]

lemme go'on try this.. not that i'm going to wear my hair curly , but i like that after i wash out the clay there's no needed next step , i can go straight into blowing it out

[@Theresaboatengg]

What is the difference between benonite clay and (French) green clay? Great video!

[@gemelo330]

Love your videos! Can you do a comparison between sodium bentonite and calcium bentonite clays?

[@GreenBeauty]

I cover that in that next video. It will be posted on Thursday 21st

[@ThEEnlightenFemme]

[@ajeasmon0715]

Could you do a video on using rose water or Apple cider vinegar with clay instead of water?

[@dcbeth8949]

I have ringlet curls 3C, I don’t want to elongate my curls, but do want the added benefits of the clay.

[@ms.inelus]

Hey will you be having a sale on your products anytime soon? I love all you videos

[@caribbeanvibes846]

I watched a video of yours saying that it’s our small hair follicles that make our hair coily and kinky. Is there a way to widen our hair follicles to make our hair straight? Sorry if it’s a dumb question, I’m a new subscriber.

[@The.Whoever]

Idk if it was the clay combined with other things I was using but I remember the times I did use clay, I'd shampoo my scalp then do a clay mask never felt like it cleaned my scalp so I always poo'ed lightly first (1/2 bent. Clay, 6tbsp acv, 3tbsp water, 1tbsp coconut oil, 1tbsp castor, 1tbsp swt almond oil) I followed up with dc though. My hair felt weird. It's hard to explain but It was this weird combination of the feeling of a film & stripped. Dry I guess. Idk but it wasnt soft or smooth that's for sure. I got that affect whether I poo'ed first or not. I adjust the ph to a 5 or 6. I actually can't remember which because it's been a while since I've used it. I'd like to try it again but I'm gonna wait until the clay series is done to see if it's worth my time & if I should do it a different way. Looking forward to the info.

[@cfoster6804]

OMG, you were using way too much acv and oil. Too much vinegar will make your hair dry out and with all of those oils it's no wonder your scalp wasn't getting clean.

[@hamletoduahofficial7647]

My coil pattern is tight and high porosity. I noticed my single strands like to cling to each other at whatever length and knot tightly. What are your thoughts on how to manage or prevent this pls?

[@rashadheyward]

Great video!! I been using carols daughter clay mask for about 2 weeks. N I kept saying to myself. Geez?? My hair been growing like crazy. Lol this makes more sense

[@litebright1720]

Love your videos!!!

[@llesabeilles]

Thanks for sharing!

[@starbaby2671]

What are the cons of clay?

[@LiveLaughLearn45]

Star Baby if applied to the scalp, could be a bit drying. Needs to be mixed with ACV for better activation and smoother application. Mainly an allergic reaction can form.

[@valeriehall7378]

It thinned my hair out and I noticed a change in texure

[@PackofDiscos]

Long-term damage if used too often because of its high pH and also because, while it might collect and fill in the rough patchy parts of hair as described in the video, it *isn't* protein/keratin/amino acids, so after a while, you will have simply weighed down your hair and covered up the cracks with something that cannot permanently 'heal' it.

[@JF-ru3jg]

It all depends on the clay you use and what you mix it with. I've read reviews that Bentonite with ACV is very drying, and requires a moisturizing conditioner afterwards or oils added to mix to cut down on dryness. Rhassoul Clay RC is gentle and moisturizing The articles I've read and the RC distributor I buy mine from instruct you to mix with water or rose water or aloe vera juice or all of the above but no ACV. ACV changes the pH of whatever you mix it with. I'm interested to see what she says the chemical reaction of ACV is to sodium bentonite.

[@ev6564]

Would u say African black soap or clay is better for hair? Or is it just experimental to our own hair types?

[@LiveLaughLearn45]

Ediane Voltaire I think both are amazing. Clay is like a deep cleanse like a clarify, meanwhile, black soap could be used more often.

[@Theresaboatengg]

I combine them together and use it as a shampoo!

[@цветок-ш7п]

I combine them or use clay with shikakai powder :))))

[@nikkij_2383]

As always, your videos are amazing and so informative. Can’t wait for the next one!!!👍🏾

[@stacymartinez3871]

What are some activated clay recipes that have a balanced pH?

[@TriniGirlNatural]

Hi, So are you saying that the clay particles are smaller than the protein particles from the treatment?

[@boadiwaaama644]

Thanks for this video

[@Khabirah90]

Thank you for the video! I have been watching the Green beauty videos learning how to take better care of my hair. I have a few questions. Post clay application, a real protein treatment was mentioned. If I do not have a real protein treatment but I have henna, which can act like a protein treatment, would this be okay to use instead? Also, if I do a body cleanse using African Bitters, would it be okay to detox my hair with the clay at the same time, or would this be too much on my body?

[@pranayvlogs5726]

Hi where do you buy clay from

[@tammymoore8804]

I have some real protein treatment that I ordered from you in December 2015 that has not been opened is it still good? What is the shelf life of this product

[@цветок-ш7п]

Can I substitute rice water for a protein treatment or are they too dissimilar?

[@GreenBeauty]

Rice water can definitely be used as your protein treatment in your regimen.

[@JessicaJacob]

I’ve been using FusionofCultures ghassoul clay regimen for two months now and have seen a major difference in the moisture of my hair and manageability. I will not be using shampoo ever again. I use clay once or twice a month currently.

[@LJMccoy920]

This is a little off topic but I have the real protein treatment 80z...how long can I keep it in the fridge before discarding it?

[@carlyn2stars]

Thank you!

[@NettieBahtYah]

Yah bless you🙌🏾

[@truthbetold4639]

How often do you do clay mask on you hair?

[@delongonsalves1416]

This may sound stupid but can I just use the clay found in my village or is it better to purchase?

[@PeaceStJames]

Delon Gonsalves why not try it out on a small part of your hair and see? I mean the village clay.

[@chalseywilder937]

Did it work out?

[@lisaessien2408]

Nice information...I don’t know y but when I was my hair with a clay I don’t feel my scalp is completely clean

[@meghabhatti6819]

Lisa Essien me too

[@22rajiboo]

I agree. My hair liked it but my scalp was like 'Eh, its ok'

[@dmgaither]

What are you mixing it with?

[@Carina982]

Same. And it would itch like crazy. There’s no way my hair OR scalp were clean.

[@lisaessien2408]

Just mix it with apple cider vinegar ( the mother one)

[@awilliams7607]

Where do you buy clay from?

[@niceeejoy5047]

Great video as always!

[@abmgangkaedan5008]

do you know if clay will strip the hair of henna/indigo coloring? thanks in advance

[@powerofmindset23]

I use henna and my hair did not like it.. so on my next wash day, I used clay wash and it detox all of the henna from my strand

[@preciouslafleur5390]

This is why I stopped using clay. I felt that it changed my hair pattern and made it feel hard as if I used protein on my protein sensitive hair.

[@shantelstewart3941]

Hi, can someone with Seborrheic Dermatitis use clay in their hair?

[@truthbetold4639]

Yes, and I have also found that ACV rinse are good for seborrheic dermatitis.

[@kenishawhite4874]

Is there a difference between usinh clays and muds (like Dead Sea Mud) for hair cleanse/conditioning?

[@InvisibleRen]

What about the ph? Clay is more alkaline than baking soda and we've seen your videos warning about baking soda. I'm so confused.

[@Secret413]

Have you done a video about Steamers?

[@williamsj4852]

I would like to know too.

[@adjoaaj7593]

Will henna loosen my curl pattern because I love my curls !!!!!i don’t want it to

[@GreenBeauty]

if you use henna consistently over time it will weaken the texture of your hair

[@GreenBeauty]

If that’s something you want to do. Try it out, but it won’t happen over night and make sure to keep in mind that the ‘weakening” of you texture will make your hair a lot more fragile and dry

[@jaeshasway]

Can you also please do a series on this rice water craze? Is it fact or fiction?

[@plantainchips]

🤔🤔🤔 Is it okay to mix liquid African black soap with Clay powder I want to try it

[@anakitasmiles3261]

They're both pretty alkaline(7.1-14) and your hair is healthiest when it stays between 5.5 (acidic) and 7(water/neutral). The mixture would be okay occasionally (maybe once a month or something) as a CLARIFIER/DETOX but you would need to add apple cider vinegar to it so that the PH is at a safe range for your hair.

[@plantainchips]

Anakita Smiles Thanks girl for the info!! I prefer Aloe Vera juice instead of Apple cider vinger but yeah I'll defo do this once a month

[@hairtherecare598]

I wash my hair with African black soap each week. Should I add a little apple cider vinegar to it to make it safe? I have heard it's too alkaline. Where can I buy the ph strips?

[@chalseywilder937]

HairThere Care amazon has strips

[@anakitasmiles3261]

Yeah you can order them online or Google some natural hair stores

[@8ThatUp2]

[@eliseburton921]

What about using aloe juice instead of water??? Is there anything negative in going this??

[@trinityasabea]

[@oluchiosakwe]

Nice

[@valeriehall7378]

I had to stop using the clay because it started to thin my hair

[@GreenBeauty]

Did you ever test the pH of your mixture? I ask b/c clays like bentonite has an alkaline pH outside the safe zone. So the pH needs to be decreased

[@jraissahouessouyt1]

I long for the next video

[@theantoniosisters5296]

Hi, we love your channel it has been a true blessing for us and our family. My sister and I have dramatically different hair types from low and high porosity. We love using bentonite clay with acv, I, love using it and it's the only thing that truly helps my low porosity 4A/B, thick hair. My sister loves it also she uses it to cleanses her locs. We wanted to know if you can do a video on the science behind Chebe powder. As it is not recommended to put the powder or oil on the scalp. We'd love to know more about the science on how it mositurizes the hair etc. Not sure if you've heard about Chebe that the Chad women use for their hair regime. Here's the link to the video You have received a KZbin video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqjclZWYaJx1f6s&sns=sms

[@Trinii1]

🆒🎈🎄🎀🎁👍

[@jeanettemarrionette]

Very informative, I think I might try clay in my hair can't wait for the next video on the comparison. Also recently I watched a video that suggested adding coarse Himalayan pink salt to shampoo for dry scalp/build up and it really worked for me I had tried apple cider vinegar but no luck but this really worked for me so I was ecstatic. I was wondering if you could do a video on the benefits of salt for hair if you haven't already though I hadn't seen it .

[@chalseywilder937]

Clays have traces of salt in them.

[@chalseywilder937]

But it's nutrient dense salts. Purifying too. It can clear up skin problems too. It has the same benefits as clay

[@jeanettemarrionette]

Angie Wilder That's good to know 😊 although I think the salt by itself would be a good alternative for people who the clay doesn't really work for or don't have the time to fully remove the clay from the hair.

[@jeanettemarrionette]

Jo Jones I looked up fixes for dry scalp on KZbin and got the recommendation , I don't have eczema but I do have very dry skin which apparently applies to my scalp as well but this was pretty much the first time I cleaned my scalp and it felt clean with no buildup etc. It's worth looking into at least to see if it will work for you too, I don't believe it can hurt at least as long as you don't use it to often.

[@chalseywilder937]

Jeanette Gupton I was just giving some explanation on why it worked. And it could. If sea water works I'm sure it will

[@MotherGJ_]

Amazing 👏 thanks
