What is it?
Bentonite, also referred to as Montmorillonite, is one of the most effective and powerful healing clays used to treat both internal and external maladies. Bentonite can be used externally as a clay poultice, mud pack or in the bath and, in skin care recipes. Internally it can be added to water or glazed upon food to help those with sensitive palates. A good quality Bentonite should be a grey/cream color and anything bordering “pure white” is suspect. It has a very fine, velveteen feel and is odorless and non-staining.
How does it work?
Bentonite is very unusual in the fact that once it becomes hydrated, the electrical and molecular components of the clay rapidly change and produce an “electrical charge”. Its highest power lies in the ability to absorb toxins, impurities, heavy metals and other internal contaminants. Bentonite clay’s structure assists it in attracting and soaking up poisons on its exterior wall and then slowly draw them into the interior center of the clay where it is held in a sort of repository.
To state it another way
“Bentonite is a swelling clay. When it becomes mixed with water it rapidly swells open like a highly porous sponge. From here the toxins are drawn into the sponge through electrical attraction and once there, they are bound.
Bascially this is used to remove impurties from the hair and scalp if used on the hair. Probably soothes the scalp if you have inflammation from shampoos and conditioners.

I started using one of those paintbrush things from Sally’s to my apply my clay to my hair. I used to use it to apply my relaxer before I went natural three years ago. I found that using this type of brush with the clay makes things a bit less messy and evenly applies it. Goes faster too. Hope that helps everybody.

Hey girlie!!!
I read that you are supposed to mix the clay with a plastic/ wood/ etc. spoon (not metal) I don’t know why, but it might have something to do with the metals already present in the clay. Just wanted to pass the knowledge its weird, I know…but you never know. right?
