BENTONITE & RHASSOUL CLAYS...

I was introduced to Bentonite and Rhassoul clays a few years ago, and I must say this has to be a natural head's must have. Both clays have high percentages of natural minerals. These make the clays highly detoxifying as they can actually exchange themselves for toxic compounds like metals in the hair and skin. Perhaps the best part, is that the clays don't contain harmful sulfates, synthetic preservatives, petrochemical derivatives or cones. The hair becomes extremely soft and manageable naturally after just one use. Try one of these treatments once or twice a month to cleanse the scalp and hair. Use a non-metal bowl and utensil.
