Come through Curls! Finally trying bentonite clay mask on natural hair

[@cholefreed]

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.

[@angelayessire7715]

I just did a victory dance when I read the last sentence of your comment 🎉🎈🎊

[@chameelatorrence6935]

Wow good to hear that 👍 thanks 😊 for your help.

[@LinzeyLiNO]

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!

[@msgirly6827]

@@angelayessire7715 me too sis. I suffer from knots big time

[@xxsnowninja2896]

Do shampoo before or after using this mask? Or both?

[@90snebula]

I swear by this. It fixed my spit ends and helped a lot with the elasticity of my hair and single strand knots.

[@freeeepalestine__]

I completely agree I thought it was just me. Made my hair stronger/ elastic, so it stopped snapping unnecessarily, made it easier to detangle, less split ends etc.

Bentonite clay makes my hair hard & rhassoul clay seems to leave a film so I mix the two & get the perfect hair 😁 moisturized, detangled, clean, & defines curls.

Aloe vera juice was a nice enhancement for me. The oils puffed my curls up too much. Finish with a wash n go technique. Deep conditioning. Leave in. Cream. Gel. Bomb!

[@RachealAkua]

I’ll try adding aloe Vera juice next time!

[@Briavelli]

I added aloe Vera juice as well ! Lol I actually did it for no reason at all but it made the mix stay smooth and didn’t make it feel like concrete while I applied

And after a conditioning session (I didn’t deep condition just regular conditioner and tea tree oil) my hair was sooo soft and soo manageable then after I moistured OMG Y’all this mask is the TRUTH// Reply if you want to know all the things I used in my mask because I didn’t do what she did I HIGHLY RECOMMEND

[@primadiva420]

Thank you for getting right into the details of the process. Great job!

[@denyshadials5702]

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 😍

[@RachealAkua]

Thank you! When you try it out let me know how it goes. I think I could definitely get the same results with a more watery clay, it might dry faster though. Next time I do it I'll probably keep the same consistency, somewhere in the middle x

[@jasminesoulshine]

I stopped using store bought shampoo 2 years ago and use a bentonite clay mix twice a month. My hair has grown like crazy! I make my own deep conditioner and leave in

[@ayannahhicks3337]

@Maryam Abbani Hi, I just mix the bentonite clay with apply cider vinegar and water until it becomes a yogurt like consistency. Then I add about 10 drops of tee tree oil, 15 drops of rosemary oil and 5 drops or peppermint oil. I leave it in my hair until the clay dries (about 45 mins sometimes longer depending on the thickness of your hair) then rinse out and my hair is soft af. I use a deep conditioner once a month. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmG4fXZthbWClbM that's the link to the deep conditioner recipe I use. I add different aryvedic herbs depending on what my hair needs at the time. I also make a Ayurvedic shampoo using African Black Soap, Fenugreek and Shikahai which I use once a week and it has my hair so soft and manageable. My hair type is 4B/4C and it's bra strap length.

I just did mine on 3 week old dirty hair, kept clay in for 30mins then wash out. (didn't feel my scalp was clean so used shampoo) Then used conditioner for about 15 mins and rinsed out. Hair feels good but would not recommend clay first if you have heavy build up.

so do we shampoo the hair afterwards or do we just rinse out the clay? And our we supposed to put on a shower cap and let it sit before rinsing it out?

CHAS No shampoo. The clay mask is clarifying and acts as the “shampoo”, however, feel free to deep condition immediately after and then style as usual.

[@CHASA]

@@shonab36 thank you so much for responding. Oh yea one more thing, after putting the clay in are you supposed to put a plastic bag over your head to seal in the moisture or let the clay mask air dry before rinsing it out?

@@shonab36 Because I saw some videos where people put on a plastic bag while the clay mask is on.

Put a cap on, atleast that’s what I do for about 30 minutes then rinse and do a deep conditioner either moisturizing or protein/moisturizing since your hair will be dry, and if your high porosity like me do the LOC method at after you DC leave in,oil then cream and style and your good to go
