The benefits of white clay for hair

2. The value of white clay, first of all, lies in the disinfecting properties. The composition has a positive effect on the scalp with dandruff, seborrhea, a different form of fungus.
3. Kaolin is indicated for use with excessive fat content. Due to clogging of the sebaceous ducts, the hair in the root section looks dull. Clay solves this problem by reducing salinity and maintaining a fresh look of hair for a long time.
4. Dry hair will also benefit. All mineral substances through the follicles penetrate deep into the hair shaft. Intensive nutrition and hydration is carried out, the scales are closed, natural pigmentation improves.
5. The main indications for use include growth retardation, massive loss in women after childbirth and men suffering from alopecia. Clay is also useful for dullness, cross-section, fat content. It makes the mop silky, makes combing easier.

The intricacies of using kaolin

1. In order to use clay at home, you need to buy a powder composition in bags or packs. You can find packaged clay at a cosmetic store or pharmacy. It is worth remembering that you cannot use kaolin, assembled with your own hands in a summer cottage or in a woodland.
2. As a rule, clay has a long shelf life or does not have it at all (not limited). But after the first use as a mask or in another form, it makes no sense to carry out a cosmetic procedure with this composition again. There will be no benefit.
3. When mixing white clay with other ingredients, choose the “right” glass, ceramic or plastic dish. Oxidized metal bowls and tablespoons are not suitable. Stir kaolin with your hands or a wooden stick.
4. Before preparing the mixture, the powder composition is diluted with water at a temperature of approximately 35 degrees. Clay does not dissolve in cold water, but in hot water it will lose all benefits. Kneading is carried out with water until a paste is obtained with a consistency, like sour cream.
5. To heal the mop, you can breed kaolin with herbal decoction, mineral water without gas or filtered water. Ready-to-use product is distributed on slightly moistened curls along the entire length and the time specified in a specific recipe is maintained.
6. Do not rely on the fact that clay does not lose valuable qualities for a long time. The composition is not procured for the future; after kneading, it must be used as soon as possible.
7. To improve the result and achieve an impressive healing of the hair, after applying the mixture based on white clay, wrap the pile with a plastic bag. Roll a turban from a towel on top to create a “greenhouse”. So beneficial substances penetrate the hair shaft faster and fulfill their function.
8. Clay of this type is easily washed out of the hair if there were no oils in the mask based on it. It is enough to wash your hair first with plain water with shampoo. Then rinse with a decoction on herbs or apply a balm.
