I would guess a few months. When you thaw it out you will know. It will be thin if its too old. I would say add 1 to 2 tsps to reactivate. But next time split your batch in half and just add baking soda to the half you are using.

Thanks for your help faithVA. Its thin but it was very thin to begin with because I blended in the vitamix...that thing has no mercy, Lol.

ETA: It didn't work, Lol. I'll just do a regular clarify.

fluffyforever[/USER];21158957]Has anyone tried clay other than bentonite and rhassoul?

I'm talking pink clay, French green clay, Australian black clay, etc. how does it compare to bentonite and is it easy to rinse out?
Click to expand...

I've triend rhassoul (butters n bars), pink clay, red clay, white clay and kaolin.
I like them all better than bentonite. And I like the rhassoul better than all of them. The pink, red, white and kaolin are too fine and thin for my hair. I have to use too much clay per session and because they are so thin they are messy.

Bentonite is the cheapest and 1/2 cup provides more than any of the others. Bentonite dries my hair out. I have to add a lot of oil to offset the dryness.

Rhassoul is more expensive and 1/2 cup provides less than bentonite but more than the others. Rhassoul is gentler on my hair. I can use just rhassoul and water on my hair and my hair still feels conditioned.

For the pink, red, white and kaolin, I was never able to find a good ratio of water to clay to get a thick consistency. They were more moisturizing than bentonite. They were so light though they didn't weigh my hair down enough. And just messy :nono:

I don't want to see pink or red clay ever again even if its free :nono:
 
So I love it. I knew I would. My shrinkage is on fleek (my 11 yr old says I shouldn't say that hahaha) but i've always considered extreme shrinkage as a natural protective measure that my hair just does cause that's what it do! Other factors contributing to my shrinkage include the extreme weather (don't we all just wanna curl up into a nice warm ball??) and the fact that I haven't had a true clay wash/rinse in about 2 weeks!

I'm going to continue to use flaxseed gel for my MHM. My hair dried with soft touchable hold and less frizzy curls.
 
Believe it or not...one of my "pink" friends at work complimented my hair and before I could stop her she reached out and touched the back of my head...Do I have MHM to blame for someone wanting to touch my hair? LOL! The funniest part is that this person is the "I can't stand to have anyone in my personal space" person. What the heck makes people think this is OK?

Very pretty. If my hair looked like this I would definitely wear it out. Your hair is coming along nicely.

Your hair on my head, I would definitely wear it out too x

Your curls look cute. I don't see any frizz at all.
 
The canopy stays pretty sleek after it's been gelled...but the undergrowth is dryer and slower to respond to MHM. Time will tell what i'll end up with!

Flax gel observation...my hair is DRY and I don't mean in a bad way. here it is about 4 hrs after and I have absolutely no wet or damp spots!! I have a little bit of flaking but i'm the only one that can notice and I can't stop TOUCHING my hair it's so soft!
 
I'm going to do a Tuesday, Friday schedule for the rest of February and into March. Even though I washed on Sunday, I'm washing again tonight to get on schedule.

I'm going to repeat what I did on Sunday, to see if I can hold onto definition.
 
So I was sashaying down the hair products aisle bemoaning the fate of naturals in my corner of the world when I came across this tresemmes vibrant naturals. I'm trying it tomorrow and if it works well, I'm going back to buy all the bottles on the shelf.

What spoke to you about that one?

Even though it is as the bottom you are aware that it has Isopropyl Alcohol in it right? I'm not sure about that Copolymer.
 
Hey you guys. I finally did the full regimen today. I'm in Maryland so it's been too cold inside the house and outside to wash. I tried a different twist out pattern. I'll take out the twist on Thursday. I need to read through the thread because I need a better leave in then kkkt. I'm currently in school and have an exam and a speech this week so I apologize for not staying to active.

Your twists look good and I am still laughing at that picture of you that looked like the door went through your head because of the wig on the back of the door.

Gorgeous twists!
 
I have really found that diluting my products works really well for me. I dilute everything I use and it seems to make it work better. It seems to absorb into my hair and do what it is supposed to do.
 
Good morning guys.

I think the results are okay. I'll keep trying at it. Maybe do the twist smaller the next time. Excuse the big face lol (I have a long head).
