I Tried Rhassoul Clay on My Natural Hair | Coils and Glory

(Last Updated On: November 3, 2019)

Although I've been meaning to try the top two (bentonite & rhassoul) hair clays which have been recommended past many Naturalistas in the past few years, the difficulty in accessing these clays, as well every bit many other great products have kept me from trying them. I was finally able to attempt rhassoul dirt in my natural hair and hither is my result.

What is Rhassoul Clay?

Rhassoul clay is a natural mineral dirt mined in the Atlas Mountains of Kingdom of morocco since the 8th century. It is combined with h2o to clean the body and has been used past Moroccan women for centuries to intendance for their skin and pilus. Rhassoul contains silicon, iron, magnesium, potassium, sodium, lithium, and trace elements (wikipedia).

Hair Benefits

Cleanse, softens, smoothes, detangles, conditions and deep conditions the hair.

five central ingredients.

Dissimilar the reddish/brownish refined powder you might have seen online or elsewhere, this soap-similar clay comes out chunky when first mined. Information technology is then farther refined and grounded into a powder. I suppose the benefits I got from this mud was due to the quality and richness of the production as information technology was packaged and sold in it's purest course.

Clay Recipe

This is my personal recipe, so feel gratis to experiment and create yours. Your base should exist Aloevera juice (AVJ) and oil for their anti-dandruff, conditioning and pilus growth properties.

• 2tbsp rhassoul clay (it swells when y'all add h2o to it, so a little goes a long mode)
• 2tbsp Aloe Vera gel
• i tbsp olive oil
• 2tbsp castor oil
• 1/4 cup aloevera juice

I kept adding more aloe vera juice to keep the pudding similar consistency of the mixture because I found that information technology started to get more paste like the more than I mixed and crushed the rocks. This makes sense considering the clay had to absorb a lot of liquid in guild to fully dissolve. The corporeality of aloe vera juice you add is upwards to yous as some like it paste-like, others pudding-similar and others more liquidy.

I too applied it to my face up to reap its skin benefits

Awarding

1. Employ clay directly to pocket-size sections of hydrated (non clammy) hair, starting with your ends and working it downward your roots. You could also spritz your pilus with h2o during application to preclude it from drying out.

2. Cover your hair with a plastic bag or cap and permit it sit for about 30 minutes. I left mine in longer because I had to finish up what I was doing.

iii. Rinse hair past letting the shower launder out the mud and so massage your scalp to exfoliate and cleanse. Practise a final rinse in sections to ensure that you go the clay off your hair every bit much as you can. After rinsing in sections, I immediately twisted my hair into 8 mesomorphic twists to forbid it from tangling when it dries and to also brand moisturizing easier.

4. Moisturize and style equally usual.
This is a one pace, time saving procedure which doesn't crave the multi-pace and multi-product processes we are all used to. No need to prepoo, shampoo, deep condition and condition. Merely apply i "product" and it does all the jobs of those iv products and more!

NOTE:
In that location's no need to detangle, prepoo or wash the hair prior as this dirt does everything in one go. I applied it on dry, dirty twist out and my hair detangled during wash.

DO Non twist up your hair like you would when you wash in sections because you lot want to brand sure the dirt washes off completely from your hair. Also, the detangling properties of this clay prevents the hair from matting up during wash.

Results

Dirt felt like melted chocolate on the hair and fifty-fifty smelt like it. My hair felt melted, light, smooth and soft information technology was very surprising!  My twist out was more defined, fluffy and softer than usual. I've never experienced such results with a product and I was wowed for days, even upwardly until now! I hateful, you gotta try this product to actually empathise what I mean.

I heard some people experienced a drying effect with this clay, and I recall it must have been due to the fact that they simply used h2o or may be they used a refined clay. So for best consequence, I suggest using my recipe and ordering this unrefined dirt.

Hair looks visibly smooth and shiny. plus twists stayed put

Verdict

I had such a not bad feel with this product that I will certainly brand it a staple production. I'g thinking of using it almost every 2 weeks. Fifty-fifty though the product is a bit expensive, I remember it'southward worth it as I saved so much time not having to detangle prior and deep workout afterwards. I also saved using the products I normally would on wash days and after.

Shiny hair!
