To Clay or not to Clay?

To Clay or not to Clay, that is the quesiton..... and my answer is......To Clay!!

I love my results!! I applied the Bentonite Clay (B-Clay) to my face and to my hair. It left my hair and face feeling oh so soft! The B-Clay also defined my curls. It is a keeper. So here is what I did:


  • Co-washed and detangled my hair with Herbal Essence Totally Twisted
  • Plaited my hair in four sections, one of each side in the front and in the back
  • Mixed B-Clay with water and honey in a plastic bowl with a plastic spoon
  • Applied B-Clay with fingers starting with the back two sections and proceeded to the front of my head
  • Left it on for 35 minutes
  • Rinsed it out and applied Elasta QP DPR-11 for the Deep Conditioning Treatment
  • Donned a plastic cap and sat under a soft satin bonnet dryer for 30 minutes
  • Rinsed with cool water
  • Applied Abba Pure Gentle Leave-in Conditioner along with DevaCare One C
  • Twisted and bantu knotted my hair
  • Let it air dry over night

Results are below.





















Until Next Time,

  2. Thanks a lot for all your reviews and tips- can't wait to try the twists/rods!! What form is the Bentonite Clay in? Is it powder or is it already mixed? Any other specifics on this treatment would be appreciated.

  3. Hi Denise! You are quite welcome!
    The Bentonite Clay I use is in powdered form. I purchased it from the Vitamin Shoppe.

    I just mixed the B-Clay with water and a little honey to make it smoother. You want it to be the right consistency for easy application. I usually just pour warm water into the powder until I get it to be the consistency of yogurt. You don't want it to be too thick or runny.

    On the back of the container it has directions for use with Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV), but I skip that and just us water and honey. For the next application I may add a little Sweet Almond or Jojoba oil to my mixture.
