Nothing makes detangling as easy as rhassoul clay. My curls come out defined, smooth and clumped

My hair wasn’t as easy to comb through |
| Softness | 5
Gives me HIH syndrome |
3.5
My hair was soft after, but I still felt I had to follow-up with a conditioner, as it wasn’t as soft as I’d like it to be.
|
| Preparation | 4.5
Water, a little aloe or vinegar, mix and apply. Although my mix is always slightly runnier than I’d like.

This was very awkward to mix, the clay swells up as soon as water hits it and the mixture was really thick. |
| Appearance of hair | 5
This always gives me a nice healthy shine |

My hair looked very clean and shiny, although on the 3rd day it looked a little waxy to me.

| Would I recommend this for low porosity hair | Definitely, this stuff is golden! In my low porosity holy grail products | I’d recommend it for an occasional hair cleanse/detox, but I don’t think I’ll add this to my list of low porosity must-haves. |

Good comparison. I’ve only used Rhassoul mud on my face, but the results were awesome 🙂
Thanks, I used the leftover on my face and enjoyed the results. Do you use water and clay only or do you add other ingredients to your mask?
Well I’ve bought masks pre-made with it, but I always love the results when that’s one of the top ingredients.
I just put bentonite on my face while doing my hair. Haven’t tried rhassoul yet, but I will next time. Will separate before I add other ingredients.
Thanks for this. I keep meaning to try rhassoul clay on my hair but haven’t got round to getting some. I’ll add it to my Amazon basket ASAP.
Definitely give it a try if your hair is lopo. Thx for stopping by.
I have been using Rhassoul Clay in my MHM. I LOVE IT!!! My curls are defined and myhairitage is soft. I am really suffering from HIHS. I need to wear mittens to keep my hands out of my hair! If you have lo po hair and are looking to get your hair healthier, this clay is wort a try I your hair care regimen,
I totally agree Joan. You’re making me want to try the MHM so badly, would you be interested in sharing your results with my readers?
I totally get this comparison. I prefer rhassoul also because it goes better with my preferred mix ins, such as coconut milk, truffle treats, cocoa butter, shea butter. I add stuff to bentonite too, but I feel like I “must” add conditioner too.
I do love my first batch of DIY toothpaste made from bentonite. I won’t buy toothpaste again!!!
Oh please do share the recipe for your bentonite toothpaste. I have a big bag of it and would love to know how you use it for your teeth! Thank you!
Hi!!! Try this! I’ll return to thread soon!!

Thanks for the share! I’m curious to give it a go. I don’t have all the ingredients on hand, but will use what I have.=)
Great post, I’ve used bentonite clay on it’s own but I prefer to them both together
Ooh, never thought of combining the two… now you’ve got me curious. =) Thanks!
I’ve been natural 5 years and yesterday was the first time I tried rhassoul clay on my low po hair. I saw and felt great results immediately after I washed it out. My hair was clean, moisturized, shiny, felt strengthened, and detangling was a breeze. Did I mention the curl definition!!! This is by far the best treatment to remove buildup from low po hair. I had previously wanted to cut my hair off because it was just blah, but this treatment literally gave my hair “life.” I should have taken before and after pics.
Yeah! I love comments like these. I’m so happy you enjoyed the rhassoul clay. I felt like that the first time I used it too. I was like “why didn’t anyone tell me about this holy grail product!!” That’s why I’m always posting about it. =)
