Time to Play with Clay!



I have heard all the rave about Bentonite Clay (Indian Healing Clay) and how it is suppose to rid the hair of impurites (clarify), increase curl definition, and increase hair shine. So after thinking and debating, I decided to make a Bentonite Mask for my hair using these ingredients ........







I mixed the clay and vinegar at about a 1:1 ratio with a few drops of vitamin e oil which resulted in a paste (Sorry, I didn't accurately measure the ingredients.) I applied it to my hair in sections and allowed it to sit for about an hour. I rinsed it out in warm water and my curls did appear shiny, springy, and more defined; however it felt like straw.








So, I followed up with Aubrey's Honeysuckle Rose Conditioner as a Deep Conditioner which I allowed to sit for also about an hour. My hair felt very moisturized and I loved it. I probably will implement this step in my regimen at least once a month to rid my hair or impurities.
