Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay
I can not count the number of recommendations about using the "clay mask" for the hair. Finally, I have tried this product and researched the concept of clay masks.
First of all, this mask is NOT a conditioner. Some people reported that clay masks dry their hair out. That is probably correct. This mask is a clarifier. In other words, it is a deep cleanser. If you have a lot of product built-up from dimethicones or waxes and you have loose hair (no locs) then this mask treatment will help reset the hair.
Be mindful that dimethicones seal Moisture in, AND they can block Moisture from getting into the hair. You have to learn when and how to use dimethicones. You also must strip or clarify them out periodically.
This clay mask works great on skin which is its recommended use. Face and body. Non-metal bowls and non-metal stirring utensil is highly recommended for preparing this mask to be used.
I felt a need to educate about this particular pictured clay mask because it had been on my wish list for awhile to see what the hype was about.
If you have scalp issues and you don't have locs, then the scalp is a skin so this mask can assist with clarifying the scalp.
Whether you use distilled water, apple cider vinegar, oils, etc. is up to you, but you need to mix as a separate step. This clay clumps easy and will not mix in your hands. I already tried.
A disposable cup and a coffee stir can be enough to spot treat the body or scalp. Happy clay masking!

If you wear makeup, then you need to also properly remove it to maintain youthful skin!
