Bentonite Clay Hair Detox


Why use bentonite clay to cleanse your hair?

Bentonite is like a sponge it draws toxins and impurity from your hair, without striping moisture from your hair.
It will leave your hair soft and ready to absorb your conditioner.

How often should you use bentonite clay?

Use whenever you feel like your hair has to much buildup. I only use it once a month, due to fact that I don't use heavy products.

How to use bentonite clay?

1.Mix the desire amount of clay with apple cider vinegar. The mixture need to be thick, but spreadable.
2.Apply to your wet hair and leave on for 20mins.
3.Rinse with water.
4.Apply your deep conditioner.
