Instructions

• 1

  Mix your clay right before using it. Pour warm water and clay into a small bowl. Mix briskly with a spatula. Your clay should be the consistency of pudding or thick pancake batter. If it is too thick, add more water. If your clay is too runny, add more clay.

• 2

  Wet your hair with warm water. There is no need to shampoo first. Using your fingertips, place your clay mixture onto your scalp. Gently massage your scalp, making sure it is covered entirely. Once your scalp is covered, distribute the mixture through your hair with your fingers.

• 3

  Leave your clay treatment on your scalp for 20 to 30 minutes. You do not have to wait for the clay to harden completely. Rinse with warm water, massaging your scalp as you rinse. After clay is thoroughly rinsed out, towel dry your hair.

  Adopt a regular routine for your clay scalp treatments. Treat your scalp to a relaxing clay scalp treatment once a week to enjoy full benefits.
