Bentonite Clay Treatment for Natural Hair


For a couple of weeks now, I have been researching natural hair cleansers and came across Bentonite Clay. 

Bentonite Clay has been used for centuries for different purposes. These include:
  • Skin Cleanser
  • Antiseptic
  • Hair Cleanser
  • Face masque
  • Internal Detoxification
  • Antidote against Poisoning
  • Calcium supplement for pregnant women
  • Treatment of Candida
I made the hair mask using the recipe below:

1/4 cup of Bentonite Clay
1/4 cup of Apple Cider Vinegar
1/4 cup of Aloe Vera Juice
3 tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 drops of Rosemary Oil
2 drops of Peppermint Oil
2 drops of Lavender Oil


Applying the product to my hair was a wonderful experience. The mixture did not feel like clay at all, instead it felt like a creamy product.



Have you tried Bentonite Clay Hair Mask?  Share your experience.

      Looking forward to reading about your experience. I love it. I tried it on Lil Sis but she has too much hair, I didn't get the clay out the first time, so I had to rewash again because the conditioner did not remove the clay. I guess I will just stick to doing it on my own hair alone. LOL!

Does having lots of hair on your arm means long hair on your head?

  No, having a lot of hair on your arms doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll have long hair on your head. Hair growth patterns, thickness, and length on different parts of the body are influenced by factors such as genetics, hormones, and individual biology. For example: • Hair on arms is usually vellus or terminal hair, which grows to a certain length and then stops. • Scalp hair grows continuously in a cycle (anagen, catagen, telogen phases), allowing it to become much longer than body hair. While genetics may influence both arm and scalp hair characteristics, they don’t directly determine the length of one based on the other.

I have a presence on social media as DiscoveringNatural that is dedicated to helping people be comfortable with their natural hair and learn how to easily care for it.  As a child, natural hair was not embraced and when I became an adult, I struggled with understanding my hair. When my oldest daughter was 4, I struggled with caring for her hair and did not have any resource to help me out, so I decided to relax her hair. After a friend invited me a natural hair event in Houston, Texas, where I reside, I knew I have found a new passion. The next day, we started my daughter's transition to natural and I followed afterwards with mine. When I discove...
