Hey if you’re looking to reset your curls naturally, Bentonite Clay might just be your new best friend. This age-old clay is known for its detoxifying properties and is packed with minerals like calcium, magnesium, and silica, making it a perfect choice for a natural hair reset. See more details on my original post here.
Why Choose Bentonite Clay?
Unlike traditional shampoos, Bentonite Clay cleanses your hair without stripping away its natural oils. This means your curls stay hydrated and healthy, free from the harsh chemicals found in many commercial hair products. For those embracing a natural hair care routine, Bentonite Clay is a fantastic alternative.
DIY Bentonite Clay Mask Recipe
Here’s a simple recipe to create your own Bentonite Clay mask at home:
- Bentonite Clay: 1/2 cup
- Apple Cider Vinegar: 1/4 cup (activates the clay and balances pH)
- Water: Enough to form a smooth paste (approximately 1/4 cup)
- Essential Oils: A few drops for scent and added benefits (optional)
Mix the clay with apple cider vinegar until it bubbles, then add water until smooth. Optionally, add essential oils for a pleasant scent.
Applying the Clay Mask
Ensure your hair is wet, then section it for even coverage. Apply the mask generously from roots to ends, focusing on areas with product buildup. Leave it on for 5 minutes to let the clay work its magic by drawing out impurities and defining your curls.
Rinsing and Aftercare
Rinse thoroughly under the shower, making sure all clay residue is removed. Follow up with a hair mask or hydrating conditioner to keep your curls soft and defined. Finish with your favorite leave-in product to lock in moisture. Watch this video to learn more!
