STEP #2: CONDITION YOUR STRANDS Less scratching– Normally when I wash my hair it itches even in the shower and I have a bit of a dig. When I’m combing it out it’s nearly always impossible to avoid the temptation to use the comb or brush to have a good scratch of my scalp. I can’t help it, the best method being a plastic comb and a see saw action across the offending itching bit. Of course this doesn’t do the scalp any good but it sure feels amazing. When I’ve washed with rhassoul clay, like this morning, I never feel the need to scratch my scalp.

If you have been using a shampoo with silicone or other chemicals your hair will need to detox – a process that can take up to a few weeks depending on the types of product previously used. During this process hair can feel very dry and tangle easily. As the follicles shed the coating they will begin to be able to drink in moisture, but this can take time.

Time consuming– It does take me ages to wash using the clay. Not only do you need to mix up some clay with water; this doesn’t take long but can be a bit messy and every second counts when you have deadlines and trains to catch. It also takes longer to wash; once the clay is massaged into the scalp and hair it needs combing through and working in.
