Most of my "experiences" with Clays have all been in Pre-Mixes. i.e. Naturelle Grow's Pink Clay, J.Monique's Rhassoul & Bentonite Detox, ST'icals "Coil-Soil" (that I thought was very good and it was only offered once) and plenty of others.

I had purchased a jar of Bentonite early in my HHJ and swapped it with someone, cause I knew I wasn't gone do anything with it.

Thank you. I think Imma stick to mixing it in SB Blends.:look:

I'm "really" not a Mixtress:spinning:

I was wondering *cough* if KB or APB will dibble-dabble in Chebe?:drunk:

That’s a good question. Hopefully someone will, but based on you ladies reviews, idk.

It’s funny because I was just speaking to a friend about chebe. She just told me she was going to fall down a rabbit hole, but it’s just so much. She said she wished she knew because someone in her office just came back from there. I was looking at the prices on these sites and those that I have bookmarked.

How much exactly do you need for an 8oz batch. It just seems so costly.

I keep forgetting what SM's Purification Hair Masque used? What type of Clay? I do have a couple "Charcoal" products as well.

Recently been seeing several "Activated Charcoal" products.

@alex114
JMonique has a good Dead Sea Mud Cleansing Conditioner (it's messy tho') very stimulating.

I liked Sarenzo's Clay Wash too, but tryna' curb a bunch of spending & shipping costs.

I think it’s either bentonite or kaolin. Not 100%. The old mask was really good. I still have some around. Idk what’s in that white jar :rolleyes: it was very purifying and conditioning though.

I know how you're friend feels. Not only is there an unknown factor but the relative limited options for purchase means if you get hooked, it could cost an arm and leg.
 
@IDareT'sHair I have both Bentonite and Rhassoul Clay as well. Rhassoul is not bad except that I found it hard to clean off my scalp. Bentonite works well when I mix it with Koalin Clay, it helps offset the clarifying/stripping feel from it.

Chebe is just expensive in general. I was even looking at the wholesale price and it was high as all get out.

What Ya'll doin' with Clays: Rhassoul, Kaolin, Bentonite? Anything?

I like bentonite clay and rhassoul clay, but for different reasons. I used bentonite clay around 3 times last year for a deep cleansing detox. I mixed 5 heaping spoonfuls with enough ACV to make a mask.

Rhassoul clay is more conditioning then cleansing, so I wouldn' t use it alone.

I have a clay shampoo bar that I made with a 4 to 1 ratio of bentonite clay to rhassoul clay. Bentonite will do the heavy duty cleansing while rhassoul would give you more conditioning properties with a smaller element of cleansing. The bar is still curing but I plan to put it in rotation and eliminate the bentonite clay mask that I was using last year.

I was gone reup on JMonique's Rhassoul & Bentonite to use as a "base" for my Ayurvedic DC'er Blends during her 50% @mzteaze but didn't.:ohwell:

I do have her Charcoal (unopened). And a couple Dead Sea Mud Masks.

You know. I'm a mixtress because ALL of these products are relatively cheap to reproduce once you get a reasonable copy. The only other mix I've tried I liked but at $25 a tube wasn't going to be a regular thing.

I liked the Rhassoul originally until I started getting the build up. When I used the CD Rhassoul Clay Mask, it was really good, but i got the same affect as using the clay alone. Sucks, because of all three, it gives me the best definition. The bentonite and kaolin have give them me nice results.

I also saw the chebe on wholesale. I cried.

As conditioning as Rhassoul is, I don’t like the build up. Still have a bag of it sitting in my closet. I love Kaolin Clay though.

Yeah, that wholesale price for Chebe is crazy :eek:Even if I decide to venture into using it, I know it would cost so much to keep up. Meh, I guess I’ll still do my Henna glosses for the time being :look:
 
Clay/Mud Cleanser:

-1/4c Rhassoul Clay
-1/4c Aloe Vera Gel (next time Juice)
-1/4c warm water
-10 drops Ylang Ylang
-10 drops Rosemary

First Impression - my hair and scalp felt extremely clean and moisturized. I did do a mini chop today so my ends felt really good. I LOVE THIS CLAY WASH. My strands felt so incredibly smooth. It made twisting my hair very easily. Definitely won’t be skipping my next clay wash. I’ll be sure to you use a shampoo scalp massager w/ it next week.

ETA: my rotating cleansers

Me too I noticed that rhassoul clay tends to react with some components of conditioners, and DCs (maybe the conditioning alcohols or the BTMS?) and form a sticky layer that behaves like clay build-up and is not possible to wash out with water unlike rhassoul itself with is very water-soluble. So I definitely wouldn't use it on top of a DC or if my hair has a lot of leave-in conditioner or dirt in it. In fact I generally cowash my hair first then use the clay to define my curls.

Interestingly, my hair naturally tends to be dry and in contrast to most of you, I actually find rhassoul clay to be slightly stripping on its own. I need to mix it with generous amounts of oil first before I apply.

For those that noticed build up from rhassoul, does that mean you did not use shampoo afterwards?

If you use shampoo that build up thing washes out easily but shampoo in itself can disrupt the curls (though some shampoos can be defining) so the best thing to do I guess would be shampoo and/or conditioner then clay to define.

If you cowash or wash before clay you make sure that there is nothing on your hair that the rhassoul clay can react with.

Do you think you'll ever do anything with Chebe Powder?:doingdishes:

*inquiring minds wanna know?*:scratchchin:

Usually when I think about plants or just anything that comes from the Earth, there is a level of excitement that comes...a small fire that ignites for me. I don't get that for chebe. It doesn't make my spidey senses tingle...for that reason, I have 0 interest in it. I always trust my instincts. It is my greatest super power. LOL

I've been working on my first love....aromatherapy. With all these fragrances I ordered from Bulk Apothecary...especially these Bath & Body Works dupes. Doing a little something with wax melts. @IDareT'sHair
