Using Qhemet Biologics Cocoa Tree Detangling Ghee as a deep conditioner with heat. I got moisturized smooth hair.
Wetline Xtreme Professional gel for twistouts.
I got the same results as my expensive botanical gels; medium hold with lots of movement. Absolutely no curdling, crunch or flaking. It works on wet hair over the following:
(Alone) AfroVeda Cocoalatte & Shea Amla buttercreams, Oyin Handmade Whipped Pudding, Bekura Palm Tapioca,
Shea Moisture detanglers, Shea Moisture Kids Coconut Hibiscus Curling buttercream

Clay washing. I'm still playing with it, but so far it's very promising. It's really helping with lessening the frequent washing and keep my hair moisturized. Bentonite needs protein afterwards. Rhassoul does not and I mixed some Maca and Brahmi in and that was good. I'll keep shampoo around but for now will stick with just clay and see how it goes.
I tried clay washing a while ago but I didn't like it. It was a vendor-bought one though (Mozeke). When I used it, I applied it and let it sit for about 30 minutes. I rinsed and my hair felt odd. Like it was coated with something and my products never penetrated whatever that coating was. If your hair likes it, then maybe I need to revisit it. Maybe I'll have better luck if I mix my own. The closest to 'clay washing' that I had success with was the SM Purification Mask.
How well does the clay cleanse on a scale from 1 to 5? What about your scalp? Do you find that your products absorb better? No buildup issues?
I'm going to be honest: I didn't buy a product with clay mixed in because I knew I already had clay and at this point, I really only care to spend money on HG products and lines. I just mixed some bentonite with honey until I got a smooth mixture (though I've noticed no difference with a runny one) and applied to wet hair. Let it sit for 10 minutes and rinsed. My hair did not feel coated at all, just clean. Your review is exactly why I didn't go for a product with clay. You know our number one concern is buildup.
The SM PM was good too, as its cleaning and moisturizing and that's how your hair will feel overall after clay washing and deep conditioning.
My scalp felt pretty good. Some people complained that bentonite caused an itchy scalp but I didn't have that problem. I also didn't scrub too much. On a scale, I would say 4. 5 would have caused me to itch. I felt products absorbed faster and better. I have not had build up issues yet. Considering how well it cleanses I doubt I will but I will keep you posted.

SM souffle is a hidden gem. To me it's likened to what curl activator gel does. Oobwr moisturiding and you only need a tad bit or the hair becomes sticky.
Does it elongate or shrink the hair or neither really? Does it provide hold? TIA!

To me, anything moisturizing , shrinks the hair. I never see hold myself but depending on how the gel/souffle works for others, it might. I would never use it solely. It goes under something with hold for me. Its the moisture factor. very pea amount per section.

As I Am Cleansing Pudding - This has to be in my arsenal at all times!. It is my scalp RX in a bottle. When ever my scalp gets super itchy or worse, I get dry patches that can't be attributed to buildup, this is the shampoo that gets it done. I know it doesn't get a lot of love but it's always worked for me. One HUGE tip: you must follow the directions and let this sit in your scalp for 3-5 minutes. I highly suggest that you wash your hair outside of the shower with this product. I don't find this product drying at all, but I would follow with a good deep conditioner.
