Eytons' Earth: Natural & Alternative Medicine

[eytonsearth]

Many people enjoy the cleansing characteristics of a fine bentonite clay for the occasional hair treatment.

Not only is clay use in hair excellent for the health of the scalp, but a single treatment will remove all of the buildup of cosmetic "chemicals" often used in hair care.

Treatment is simple. Spread a hydrated green bentonite evenly throughout pre-moistened hair. Allow to set for between 15 - 30 minutes, without allowing the hair to dry.

Rinse VERY, very thoroughly.

For dry hair, add a small amount of first cold press olive oil when hydrating the clay prior to use. For an aromatic experience, add a few drops of your favorite pure essential oils.

Use a mineral-rich, chemical free water to hydrate the clay. If possible, use a highly swelling, rich green bentonite that is sand and grit free.

hair or scalp masques can be very benificial and i have personally tried this.
my own skin and scalp can becomes oily at times so not long ago a friend suggested i use a very expensive and very popular shampoo and conditioner treatment containing vitamin B.
the shampoo and conditioner not only striped my hair leaving it limp and stragly but i broke out in sores on my neck and scalp.
i used white kaolin and zeolite in a blend to treat my scalp, and in a day or two the sores dried up and healed. to replace some of the moisture in my hair without oiling up my scalp i used a rosemary infused rinse and combed a bit of rose hip oil through the ends of my hair. this repaired the damage done to my hair and got some life back into it
