GETTING BUILD-UP OUT MY LOCS | DEEP CLEANING DETOX

BENTONITE CLAY
Incredibly powerful, possessing a negative charge (anionic). This makes it an ideal clay for cleansing and detoxifying, as it has the ability to remove positively charged (cationic) conditioners and products that can build up on the hair and scalp. It is also said to have the ability to draw out toxins, heavy metals, chemicals, and impurities. It helps cleanse and lift impurities from the hair, aiding in conditioning, shine, softness, and definition.
APPLE CIDER VINEGAR
Serves as an antimicrobial agent (warding off infection), and helps ease the itching and flakiness associated with scalp conditions such as dandruff, psoriasis, and seborrheic dermatitis. ACV is also able to improve the shininess of hair and increase moisture retention by causing cuticles to lay flat via pH balancing the hair. Through this same mechanism, it is also believe that Apple Cider Vinegar can correct hair porosity issues.

[@JahleeyahKalonji]

Everyone with locs needs a hairdresser sink and chair in their house, I swear, lol, our lives would be sooo much easier, lol. Great video, I make my mix runny enough to put in a squeeze bottle, I use warm water to wet my locs and then I wet and apply it in sections. I even warm my ACV first before mixing it with the clay, dissolves/mixes much easier.

[@mrsdiehardninja]

You brave girl. I am afraid to put anything in my hair like that.

[@Teenytinymia]

I used bentonite clay on my locs a few years ago. It was kind of messy but after I rinsed it out and everything my hair felt so light. All that buildup I couldn't see was adding so much weight.

[@Avocado.locs.]

Black never cracks babyyy 🙌🏾🥰❤️👏🏾👏🏾

[@BittahHunnie]

I recently tried this for the first time.. definitely took out some of my rinse which was fine. Wasn’t feeling myself with red hair anyway. It’s a process but so worth it. Yours look good!

[@SimsStoriesByJoslin]

Great and informative. Can I do this on my baby one year locs?

[@wendydrayton746]

You are so informative, thank you. I am just starting out with my lock journey and you are helping me a lot.

[@suziq6104]

Wow your locs are lovely!

[@lclaney6240]

Sis get out of my head! *XD* I just discovered a sample of that same product - that my cousin told me to try - as a facial. *XD* I, also discovered some build-up in my locs, and was about to do the "ACV Rinse". I'm so glad I saw your video. Going to try this out, BEFORE, I dye it. Thanks again, sis! *:)*

[@leahmoten3231]

Yasssssss Erykah Badu Bag lady playing at the beginning I love Erykah 😂

[@MyraMaheli]

You have beautiful locs. Hope one day i'll get the courage to do a deep cleanse clay mask. Currently only using the clay mask on my face.

[@lynnc5252]

I saw an inflatable sink in another video. You have to lay on the floor but it has an lower area to rest your neck and you can submerge all of your hair.

[@NaturallyTeeCee]

When you get the time can you do an update on your mom’s locs?

[@KEKEK.]

Your hair is *really* pretty! 💟

[@czarinaczar]

I would have liked to see exactly what buildup you had. Like a before and after.😉

[@mazznaturals]

Great video! I’ve actually done a video on This Bentonite Clay deep clean I absolutely recommend it!!!! 👌🏾 it made my Locs and scalp feel squeaky clean! It removed all buildup and left my Locs feeling light and soft as you mentioned. I had no problems washing the clay out. I will most definitely use it again without a doubt! 😊💆🏽‍♀️ I don’t think what you saw was build up left in your Locs I think it was just your old dye colour poking through. The Bentonite does lift all dirt and buildup out so I guess it will strip colour from your hair. I have some bronze colour left over colour in my Locs which the treatment left my hair looking more vibrant and rich. I think your hair came out great! 👌🏾 Would you consider using the Treatment again? I definitely will be using it again I would say every 6 months or whenever I feel I want a deep clean. I’ve not tried that nutregena Shampoo I would like to though. Congratulations on your product line 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. I would like to try it one day I just hope the shipping is not too expensive to London England! 😉 thanks for sharing your experience stay blessed. 😘🙏🏾

[@KeishaCharmaine]

MAZZ 777 Naturals thanks! Honestly as I mentioned in the video I can tell that it’s a combination of both buildup on the surface and my old color peeking through and I’ll do the treatment again for sure

[@mazznaturals]

Keisha Charmaine oh ok yes I think I do remember you saying that sorry lol...will be interesting to know you thought when you do decide to use it again.

[@Fashionably_Absent]

I think I would just submerge myself completely in my bathtub, then shower because that rinsing process looked super uncomfortable.

[@KeishaCharmaine]

Lemon Squeezy I considered that. But I couldn’t film myself like that lol

[@romonagray1413]

OMG! Look at that water.😀😀😀

[@candiblue9280]

Bigggg difference i can tell it made your hair look darker and healthy looking.

[@suekemmerling5875]

Wow your hair is beautiful!!

[@luvlocs06]

For a while it was all about the acv/baking soda rinse all over youtube. How does this compare?

[@jodecijammillinghaus3743]

The bentonite clay is like charcoal, it draws out impurities and I think in combination with the apple cider vinegar it’ll be the ultimate deep clean. Baking soda dries out your hair/ skin and I think it’s a bit harsh.

[@shinezshinez591]

How long did you leave the clay in your lock and on your face? Love the vid.

[@KeishaCharmaine]

Shinez Shinez 15 Mins on face. About 30 mins in hair

[@cindy5391]

Gorgeous locs

[@rijohnson5929]

I always wash my hair in the shower. I have a lot of hair also but my locs are a little thinner than yours. It's so heavy when it's wet lol. I've had bentonite clay in my hair closet for a good while now and never had time to do it. I'm a busy, busy, BUSY mommy...and pregnant now with little boy #4 lol. One of these days I'll get to it. Love your hair sooooo much!

[@KeishaCharmaine]

Kandie Johnson-Boykin congratulations God bless your family

[@yvline.eve-lyn]

Please send help! I used the clay mask to detox my locs and I now have pieces of clay stuck in my locs. 😩😖 I believe that the clay is now stuck to the buildup that I was trying to get rid of. Instead of removing the building up, it has now changed the buildup from a dull color to a much more noticeable white color. Do you have any tips for fixing this problem? Thank you!

[@naturallyniah601]

try leaving it in for only 15-20 minutes i’d do 10-15 minutes just to avoid that problem

[@crackingmeuhp]

I love all your videos!!!!! So helpful!

[@cooksous]

I remember you using that shampoo on your mom. I’m gonna try that!

[@carlisealexandra8777]

“ It’s easily spotable 😂😂 “ but good video

[@siacharlz]

you washed your hair but your parts are still intact, how do you do it?

[@KeishaCharmaine]

Sia Charles I never had the issue of losing my parts after a wash. My guess is because I retwist biweekly, my parts are trained to stay.

[@greenleaf9307]

You're locs are so beautiful. They look strong and healthy so retwisting bi weekly doesn't seem to harsh. Im only month 2 on my starter locs so I think that would be too often for me. You remind me of tekashi 69

[@diablo1of112]

GREEN LEAF please tell me where you see tekashi 69 in her

[@izzetwotwo]

Royc Williams same😂

[@CC-cj9wq]

I tried bentonite on my locs and it was sooooo hard to get it out. 😩

[@krystingrant6292]

J C. That's my fear omg

[@mazznaturals]

J C. Sorry to hear this I find this very surprising did you use this same brand? 🤔

[@CC-cj9wq]

MAZZ 777 Naturals yes, but my locs are smaller. That could be the reason, I won't do it again lol

[@mazznaturals]

J C. Oh ok when you say smaller do you mean like sisterlocs size? I guess it works different on everyone.

[@mazznaturals]

J C. Oh ok when you say smaller do you mean like sister locs size? I guess it works different on everyone.

[@dawwnnyy2657]

I don't understand. Everyone is saying that it works wonders. I just tried it. I only pit it on my scalp and had to wash my hair 4 times. My locs are white! I don't know what to do!?

[@KeishaCharmaine]

Hmm maybe you let it sit too long?

[@hotredsly]

Did u

[@jokikem1]

when you washed your hair prior was it just a brief wash and then do the clay rinse and washed again..

[@KeishaCharmaine]

yes

[@Loclioness]

I think if thwt was it fading then it would also do that when u do the acv

[@101101Mike101101101]

Hey there, I did a betonite clay/ACV hair cleanse twice this week but I still see a fair amount of build up on my locs. I'm gonna do an ACV rinse today but would you say I'm probably best just using a natural hair dye to cover the build up/lint if it's still not coming out?

[@YummyChoco1]

Minus editing....How long did you leave it in? About how long did the process take?

[@KeishaCharmaine]

TheFirstLadyHisMrs. I left it in for about 30mins. Washing it out took longer

[@YummyChoco1]

Keisha Charmaine ❤❤❤

[@yuraraina]

Is they clay better then baking soda and AVC? Alot of people i seen squeeze their locs to get the build up out. Someone told me put the baking soda on my head then pour the ACV in it and rinse let it sit for 20 min, then rinse out with warm/hot water...to get it out also. Not sure if it's true or not.

[@starr6465]

Remember the clay is hard to get out.

[@starr6465]

Will your products be sold on line and will you tell us more about them ?

[@KeishaCharmaine]

Starr 64 yes they are on my website and I will make a KZbin video for them in the next week or so

[@aubriemckoy793]

Do you know why we should avoid using metal utensils?

[@KeishaCharmaine]

Au'Brie McKoy-Marshall it contaminates the clay making it virtually ineffective

[@SkyToddler]

how often should you do this?

[@KeishaCharmaine]

SkyToddler a couple times a year at most

[@corasmith7262]

How do you make the clay??

[@kemiodusanya273]

Did you shampoo after? How often will you recommend this form of deep cleaning?

[@mrswallace2u704]

Kemi Odusanya... yes she did. Listen starting @ 11:37 🤗

[@KeishaCharmaine]

I answer both questions in the video 😊

[@feseha100]

I love black women so much y’all so beautiful I love my queens

[@skarletbrown8912]

What about head and shoulders? I have 3 month old braidlocs and I have been really going through it with the dandruff and itchy scalp? I was going to try the clay mask but im nervous about it. I just need some type of solution for this. Its really unbearable like I will literally wash my hair do a hot oil treatment and the next day my scalp will be flaky.

[@KeishaCharmaine]

DIA PIA Head and shoulders is good for itchiness and dandruff but not for buildup removal

[@skarletbrown8912]

Ok so the ACV rinses work good for that right? I try to do them everytime I wash my hair too

[@beautifulrose06]

I would be so scared to try this in my locs. This one not for my, I will use the Apple cider and baking soda mix.

[@beautifulrose06]

I just feel like with my luck, it wouldn't wash out of my locs.

[@stacya2724]

What’s the name of the shampoo you said was a great alternative?

[@KeishaCharmaine]

neutrogena anti residue shampoo

[@ms.woodard8714]

Your hair is pretty✨

[@KeishaCharmaine]

Ms Woodard thanks love

[@Ronldbx6]

Would be too scared to put this in my locs, in fear of it being hard to wash out.

[@no2cheese]

I love your big micro towel, where did you purchase it?

[@KeishaCharmaine]

Karasi Adjoa it was a gift so I’m not sure

[@no2cheese]

Keisha Charmaine ok, thanks

[@mslanette1972ify]

Where did you get the clay from? Can you link the clay and shampoo

[@KeishaCharmaine]

Rhonda Jones Amazon for the clay, Walgreens for the shampoo

[@YummyChoco1]

Whole Foods has the clay....it also. It was very inexpensive as well. I've seen the shampoo at Target and Wal-Mart too.

[@beverleyhunter7788]

I normally put a plastic bag over my hair and don't let it dry out like you would if you were doing a facial.

[@KeishaCharmaine]

Beverley Hunter oh ok cool

[@AKIYIAKELLY]

Great info

[@latasiaporterfield416]

I have a question, my spouse want to dye her hair but she need a deep cleaning of her locs so should she deep clean her hair first then dye? Thank you in advance!

[@paulettaspassions]

Have you ever tried the Apple Cider Vinegar rinse?

[@KeishaCharmaine]

Paulette Fairfax yes

[@kinglocz7943]

good vid and info

[@no2cheese]

I didn't see you place the clay in your parts, you just did the exterior...So my question is, does the clay soak through or is there another reason why you didn't place the clay in the roots?

[@KeishaCharmaine]

Karasi Adjoa it doesn’t soak through. I did it on my roots in a previous video, definitely check it out, so it wasn’t a priority. Plus I ran out of clay and didn’t want to mix more.

[@no2cheese]

Keisha Charmaine ok... Yes, I saw that video. Thank you for your response

[@youtube.comybvv]

Where can i purchase the shampoo?

[@KeishaCharmaine]

Theressa C drugstores

[@freezyakafreezywhoelse6341]

Still waiting on my queen to play in these dreads .. i need help lol

[@lindadavis1920]

Why not use metal utensils.

[@KeishaCharmaine]

Linda Davis bentonite Clay will absorb the toxins from the metal

[@lindadavis1920]

Oh. I didn’t know that. I will stop using a metal utensil. Thanks for the info.

[@naturallyneek2461]

How do you prevent buildup in your Locs ? What causes buildup in Locs ?

[@KeishaCharmaine]

using heavy products causes buildup. also not washing your locs properly causes buildup.

[@mslanette1972ify]

How are mom’s locs doing?

[@KeishaCharmaine]

Rhonda Jones will make an update with her soon

[@Cynnas]

Bentonite Clay has a high lead content. It's not so safe to use on the skin due to lead absorption. Don't ingest it (as many do), limit skin exposure and don't apply to any type of skin lesion.

[@hotredsly]

Could not get it out of my locs

[@KeishaCharmaine]

oh no, what did you do?

[@samarakendal8120]

Thanks you I got it

[@lswren25]

My hair is so frizzy.... Like really I am 4 months in my journey... It's driving me crazy

[@KeishaCharmaine]

LaReshia Wren that’s expected. Check out my video on things to expect when starting locs

[@lswren25]

I also have dryness in my scalp and hair.... Bad

[@closedears5429]

Thats the BEST stage!!!!❤❤❤

[@promiselocked4707]

[@Loclioness]
