Pour clay in a clean bowl, then add your oils and stir well, followed by your ACV(allow to aerate/foam for 10 to 15 seconds) then add your water and stir well until smooth.
Apply mixture to damp hair from root to ends, cover with a plastic cap and let sit for 30 to 45 minutes, wash out using your conditioner, then rinse and style as usual.
NB: You may need your spray bottle close to you while applying mixture to hair, as clay mixture drys quickly.

  • To detoxify, simply add 1/2 to 1 tsp bentonite clay with water, shake well and drink
  • For skin, add 1/4 cup of bentonite clay with bath water, soak yourself in it for as long as you want or simply massage skin with mixture and rinse off with clean water afterwards.
  • For health of teeth & gum, mix clay with water and gargle for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then spit out and rinse with clean water (just as you do with mouth wash)
