Bentonite Clay Wash Day.

I'm a Rhassoul clay kinda girl but today I decided that I was going to use Bentonite Clay instead - just because! (Plus I have this pound of clay that's been sitting in my bathroom for ages) I wanted to keep it simple so my liquids of choice were Aloe Vera Juice and Apple Cider Vinegar. Didn't add any oils as that would come later in my regimen.

I don't really measure stuff - just eyeball them as I go along so I added some clay to my mixing bowl then poured in a little Apple Cider Vinegar. When you add ACV to bentonite clay, it creates a sort of frothing action before settling. When it was settled, I added a little Aloe Vera Juice at a time till I got the consistency I wanted (not too thick and not too thin either)

The night before, I'd pre poo'd with my Bringraj hair oil but I didn't want to put clay on dry hair so I first misted my hair with water to get it a little damp - that way it would be easier to get the clay through my strands without struggling and even damaging my hair.

After I'd gotten it all over, I covered my hair with some saran wrap and went about a few house chores for about 30 - 40 minutes. I then rinsed it out with warm water and I was pleasantly surprised!!! Now I hadn't even deep conditioned my hair and I know bentonite is meant to cleanse, clarify and detoxify your hair so I had prepared myself for the possibility of dry strands but nope! My hair was soft, it was easy to separate and most of all, curls were very defined!
