DIY LOUNGE - WASH DAY WITHOUT SHAMPOO..

Wash day can be hectic and time consuming, with all the pre-poo, pre-co, clarifying, de tangling etc....Most of us use a whole day, even some hours into the next to clean our hair and by the time we are done, our siblings and parents are furious...

Today's post is going to be about how we can look forward to wash day without it not making us weak,sigh and without it not taking over all your social life! In the spirit of selflessness and kindness, I introduce to you MUD WASH........ YAAAAAAAAY....

RECIPE :::

STEP 1

Put on your old tee- shirt ( the one you can afford to get stained)

STEP 2

Pour enough bentonite clay into a bowl .

STEP 3

Add a quarter of your clay's quantity of apple cider vinegar ( i.e., if your clay is 8tsps, v. your Apple cider vinegar should be 2tsps)

STEP 4

Add warm water ( half the size of the clay), add drops of your essential oil and mix!

STEP 5

Section your hair into parts,spray with water and apply your mixture, concentrating on your root and scalp.

FYI, almond oil is a carrier oil and not an essential oil.

I do mud washes all the time with Ayurvedic powders.

So which do you prefer? Shampoo or bentonite clay?

I like mud washes too.
I read that you should use a plastic or wooden spoon to mix your clay, never metal. Reason provided was they have opposite charges and the clay actually pulls metal from the spoon; and ypu really don't want heavy metals in your hair.

I use Amla and Shikakai powders. Leaves my scalp clean too. But so many particles of which I don't mind though

I once did a mud wash, I mixed bentonite clay , amla powder, coconut oil and water. Its a compressed method of wash day. It left hair not so soft and not so hard(in-between) and I had to rinse a lot to get the particles out. I heard rhassoul clay is more moisturising, pls do a write-up on that too. Thanks

I love clay washes now. I, sometimes, don't deep condition after clay treatments.

Only if I go to a natural hair salon! Then I'd get to have someone remove the particles (I think) it would leave in my hair. Or doesn't it leave particles? I had this terrible experience with bananas recently and I need to be extra cautious. Always wondered what clay did for the hair tho....
