4A Detangled with NO LOSS of HAIR!!!!

[lilsparkle825]

I really miss my tub of clay right now...I need to get that back. This sounds great.

 

[Truth]

this is good stuff.... I will be doing this when I'm ready to take my braids out and detangle.. good stuff!

When I mix it with acv for my facials it doesn't clump...it just kind of puffs up and looks like frosting. Try it with acv for your face, it's amazing.

I only mix it with water for my hair and I always have lots of clumps...I just put those on my hair too. They rinse out with no problems.

I will try it. I put the lumps in there too but I don't want too lol. I want it to be smooth and pretty.

Interesting...I think I'll try this soon.

I will try it with out the ACV next time. I didn't know Bentonite would work on my hair. I initially bought it for body wraps and facials. So I was just using the same mix I used for my facials.

It's great you found something that works for you. I've talked about bentonite a little bit on here (and so have some other naturals) and I think we all agree that it's a great addition to a regimen. I don't need to mix it with anything else but water and I leave it on for about two hours max (usually just one hour though but I tend to do 2 treatments a month).

It makes my hair easier to comb through and as a result I get much less breakage. It doesn't eradicate the breakage situation completely though; I still need to use protein when necessary.

I tried it with the ACV and msa you are right. It is smooth and frothy. I think I will use a lil ACV in it next time i use it with my hair too. And I will try ACV in my henna too. I like a smooth texture. It just looks and applies better.

I also noticed that it doesn't sting and pinch as much. I can't wait to see what my face looks like when I rinse it off.

BlkO, I wanted to let you know that I tried this same formulation you suggested (with the addition of conditioner) and I left it in my hair for about 2 to 3 hours. It was truly the truth!

 

[Geminigirl]

I want to know the benefits of using it as a body wrap? and how do you do this?

I rinsed my face and it felt raw and dry and looked dull. It didn't have that glow. Next time I will use ACV and Water and see what happens. If that doesn't work It's back to the clumpy water.

I don't know why my face feels so raw right now. It's soft to the touch but it's kinda stinging.

Thanks for the tip

I was interested in doing body wraps because they make you lose an inch or two where ever you apply the wrap.

You make a paste with ACV, Water and Bentonite Clay. Wrap it in suran wrap and leave it on. I did it one night and left it on all night
I did lose 2 inches off my waist! It'a not perminant I think you have to do it weekly for long term results, But if you have an item of clothing You want to wear that's a little snugg this could help.

I just did a Google "body wraps" and got all kinds of info

When you rinse it out, can it irritate the eyes or skin?

 

[BlkOnyx488]

I did it again last night after my Aphogee 2 min reconstructor Protein treament, and balance moisterizer. My hair was wet
this time
My mix was
Bentonite Clay
Shea Butter Cream Conditioner
MTG
and
Cayenne Pepper ( the heat from the cayenne was nice)!

Anyway this morning, after I rinsed it out, I was able to detangle with my fingers and put my hair in box braids.

i did add a lot of Aphogee Leave in Condition to each section. but I have never been able to finger detangle without getting frustrated and reaching for a wide tooth comb or brush

Do you have to shampoo your hair after rinsing this out?

When you rinse it out, can it irritate the eyes or skin?

It shouldn't. Well, I don't get it in my eyes though. But it's just clay and if you mix it with water I don't see why it would irritate your skin.

Do you have to shampoo your hair after rinsing this out?

No bentonite is considered a clarifier. As long as you rinse it thoroughly and get it all off your scalp there's no need for shampoo.

I'm definately going to try this as soon as I take this weave out... subscribing

 

[Jenn22588]

Do you have to shampoo your hair after rinsing this out?

I mixed mine with water, shikiaki sp? powder, and alma oil last weekend and I needed to shampoo after. It may be because of the oil or the fact that my hair is always oily. I don't shampoo often but use oil after my co-washes everyday.

 

[Netta1]

and I was able to run a comb through my hair like it was Type 1a!!

Say Whaaaaaat??????

 

[sharifeh]

interesting, I'll have this in the back of my head!
any relaxed ladies use bentonite clay?

 

[Joyful1]

This sounds great! I'm gonna try it on my next wash day. Thanks!

 

[MissRissa]

Y'all just make sure you're not letting the clay dry on your hair...put on a plastic cap. Otherwise, you will be in breakage city trying to get the clay out once it has hardened.

MSA aint never lied. when i first started doing any type of mask on my hair (bentonite, rhassoul, cassia) i was letting it dry. just getting the mask out, let alone detangling is almost unfathomable.

I need to retry Bentonite Clay. Also most very cheap kitty litter is 100% Bentonite clay. You can google it if you don't believe me. It is like $4.00 or less for 3 lbs or something ridiculously cheap.

But you will need to have a strong blender or grinder to make the pellets into a powder. Also make sure that you don't inhale the dust whether you grind it yourself or buy it. HTH

 

[blackbarbie986]

I have a huge tub of aztec secret, about to go try this now.

 

[Fhrizzball]

I wonder if Rhassoul clay has the same effect? I hear that it's more moisturizing.
