Bentonite Clay & Rhassoul Clay

Both..........

• Remove product build up
• Come in a powder form
• Excellent for facials
• Used by cultures to help rid the body of toxins 
• Favorite for naturalistas  
• Used as a Deep Conditioner

Bentonite Clay - An external detoxification; it's an absorbent aluminum phyllosilicate(are sheet silicate an important group of minerals), essentially impure clay consisting mostly of montmorillonite(a very soft group of minerals that typically form in microscopic crystals forming a clay). 

Bentonite clay have become very popular in the natural hair community as a form of detoxifying your hair.  However, what I notice is it can be a drying if left on too long

Rhassoul Clay -  detoxifying, cleansing, degreasing and astringent properties.  It is a natural mineral clay mined in the atlas mountains of morocco since the eighth century.  In the natural hair community it is used mostly for deep conditioning.  However, with this clay if left in hair too long improves elasticity and leaves my hair feeling soft and bouncy.

Apple Cider Vinegar - Benefits

What is Apple Cider Vinegar?

Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) is an effective natural bacteria-fighting agent that contains many vital minerals and trace elements such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, chlorine, sodium, sulfur, copper, iron, silicon and fluorine that are vital for a healthy body.

Natural Apple Cider Vinegar is made by crushing fresh, organically grown apples and allowing them to mature in wooden barrels. This boosts the natural fermentation qualities of the crushed apples, which differs from the refined and distilled vinegars found in supermarkets. When the vinegar is mature, it contains a dark, cloudy, web-like bacterial foam called mother, which becomes visible when the rich brownish liquid is held to the light. The mother can be used to add to other vinegar to hasten maturity for making more Apple Cider Vinegar. Natural vinegars that contain the mother have enzymes and minerals that other vinegars in grocery stores may not have due to over-processing, over-heating, and filtration. For this reason, it is recommended that you purchase only Natural Apple Cider Vinegar, with an ideal acidity (pH) level of 5 to 7.


 Below are a few of the uses of Apple Cider Vinegar....
