5 Benefits Of Moringa Oil For Natural Hair

Nyasha

by

Moringa oleifera is a multifunctional tree that has been proven to have numerous benefits. The moringa oil which is extracted from the seeds of Moringa oleifera, is native to India and grows in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. It is commonly known as ‘drumstick tree’ or ‘miracle tree’. With its high nutritive, medicinal and beauty values, every part of the tree is suitable for either nutritional or commercial purposes. 

Moringa seeds have a high oil content and contain many nutritional compounds, including monounsaturated fats, protein, sterols, and tocopherols. The oil can be extracted almost entirely by solvent extraction, generally n-hexane, whereas less yield is obtained by cold press extraction. 

Moringa Oil is a powerhouse of nutrients as it has a large variety of rich minerals including zinc (essential for healthy hair production) and antioxidants to help boost keratin production. It helps restore strength, promote hair growth and repair damage.

It contains more than 90 nutrients, 46 antioxidants, 36 anti-inflammatory compounds, 18 amino acids including all 8 essential amino acids.

Given all of the hair oils out there, moringa oil is a popular ingredient in cosmetics and dermatology. It has an almost never-ending list of benefits for the hair, skin, and body. 

Now you know what makes Moringa oil deserving of all the attention, let’s talk about the five benefits of Moringa oil to natural hair.

Moringa Oil Stimulates A Healthy Scalp.

Moringa oil’s standout property is its concentration of monounsaturated fats made up mostly of oleic acid. This type of fatty acid is excellent for cleansing the scalp while protecting its moisture levels. Meanwhile, its anti-inflammatory properties help with scalp scaling. It provides extra moisture to the hair, protects it from damage, drenching your strands in nutrients, leaving your tresses soft, healthy, silky, and nourished.

Moringa Oil Improves Shine and Hair Elasticity.

Moringa oil can revitalize dull, brittle strands. Due to its high amount of naturally occurring behenic acid levels, a common ingredient in conditioners, moringa oil serves also as a natural conditioner for shiny and bouncy hair.

Our moisturizing leave-in conditioner infused with moringa oil is deeply penetrating and locks in moisture for extra shine, silkiness, lustre and more manageable gorgeous hair.

Moringa Oil Promotes Stronger Hair.

Regular use of Moringa oil on your hair can help you gain stronger hair. It strengthens your hair by delivering important minerals and vitamins to the hair follicles. It kind of rejuvenates your hair from deep within.

This Cupuacu Butter and Moringa Oil Moisturizing Deep Conditioner contains moringa oil and works wonders for restoring your hair’s natural vibrancy, thanks to its ability to retain water.

Moringa Oil Is A Great Remedy For Hair Loss.

Vitamin deficiencies and hormone disturbances can often lead to hair thinning and eventually hair loss. Moringa oil contains proteins, vitamins and minerals that help to protect cells from damage. It helps to restore those lost vitamins and gives life to the damaged follicles. This leaves the hair and scalp feeling rejuvenated.

Moringa Oil Fights Dandruff.

Moringa oil addresses vitamin A deficiencies that commonly cause dry hair and dandruff. The main components of moringa oil are zinc and silica, which help prevent the sebaceous glands from drying and clogging and are vital in the production of sebum. Even though dandruff is a common condition and is not contagious, research shows that it negatively impacts the confidence of a lot of people who suffer from it.

How Can I Check Moringa Oil For Good Quality?

The oil should smell slightly nutty and be a pale yellow and always read the ingredient list. From a texture standpoint, the thickness of the oil depends on whether or not there are filler oils mixed with it. Pure moringa oil should be a medium olive-oil consistency.

Takeaways.

Thanks to moringa oil’s deep conditioning benefits, it can be incorporated into your routine as a treatment for both hair and scalp. Moringa oil can be incorporated in all hair care products just like that of Reina HairCare. We highly recommend investing in Reina HairCare Products due to the fact moringa oil and cupuacu butter are their major hero ingredients. These two ingredients will always leave your hair and scalp deeply moisturized. Share this article to spread the good news about moringa oil. It is indeed a powerhouse!

One of the most basic ways to take care of your hair is to wash it. But it’s important to understand how to handle your hair in the shower while it’s wet and at its most vulnerable especially if you have super curly, coily, or afro-textured hair (or maybe a combination of all three) so you don’t cause any damage. 

Everyone’s natural hair is different so you have to find out what works for you, your lifestyle, and your hair. And yes, the process of finding the right routine and product mix can be time-consuming but don’t worry, we are always here to help!

If you have a head full of natural hair, wash day can be a bit intimidating if you’re new to the healthy natural hair scene. A bit of water touches your hair and you’re instantly introduced to shrinkage, tangles and knots. Knowing how to wash your natural hair is priceless. 

Is there a right way to wash your hair? There’s a little more to it than wetting your hair, lathering up with shampoo, rinsing, and repeating with conditioner especially if you want optimal results. We are going to give you the top steps for getting through your natural hair wash day.

Step 1: Pre-poo With Oil.

Pre-poo is when you apply a conditioning treatment to the hair before shampooing/washing to add moisture to the follicles. Everything that is put on your hair before a shampoo will indeed be washed away. It may be hard to see the point of doing this step in the first place. Remember that the process of washing the hair can be very stressful on the hair, especially if you are still using a sulfate shampoo. There tends to be a ton of manipulation during the washing, deep conditioning and styling routine. Doing pre-poo conditions the cuticle and gets it prepared for the manipulation to follow.

Applying a natural oil like tea tree oil or coconut oil to the hair from root to tip about 30 minutes before a shampoo can be nourishing and give a protective shield to the hair. We recently found out that pre-pooing the hair at least 20 minutes before shampooing can reduce stress known as hygral fatigue on the hair. So, pre-poo with the hair & scalp serum beforehand to give your hair a fighting chance.

Tip: Work In Sections.

If you have 6 inches or more of natural hair length, washing the whole head of hair loose may not be the best way to thoroughly wash your hair. Try sectioning your hair into 4 or 6 sections that are twisted or braided loosely. Remove one braid or twist at a time and wash that particular section only. Re-twist or braid the section when the section is washed. This process takes a lot longer, but fewer tangles, knots and breakage is worth it.

Step 2: Shampoo and Detoxify.

The shampoo is for cleaning the scalp, and the runoff of water and suds work to clean the length of your hair. If you get the scalp and hair sufficiently wet, you should be able to get shampoo right to the scalp and work a good lather. Rinse well with lukewarm water and your hair should be clean. 

Before applying the shampoo to your hair, mix it with a little water in the palm of your hand. This way you’ll reduce the direct impact of the shampoo on your scalp and reduce product consumption. Make sure to apply the shampoo to your entire scalp and crown. You don’t need much (if any) shampoo on the tips of your hair. Focus on shampooing your scalp, rather than the ends of your hair then use the lather to wash the rest of your hair.

Remember to use the right kind of shampoo for your hair.

Occasionally, like once in two or three months, detoxify using a clay mask. Our Bentonite clay mask gently cleanses & exfoliates your scalp while deeply cleansing your hair and providing deep conditioning to leave you with supremely defined curls, coils and kinks. The clay mask also helps to get rid of dandruff, protect your hair and scalp from bacterial and fungal infections, boost hair growth and add intense shine to your hair.

In most cases, you do not need to shampoo when you do the clay mask treatment because the clay is so cleansing. However, the great thing about bentonite clay is that it can give you a clean slate to apply your products. You’ll notice that your products work a lot better after using this clay mask because they can effectively reach the hair shaft.

Step 3: Deep Condition.

Don’t forget to always follow up your ‘poo’ with an instant conditioner and if you’re feeling yourself, hop out and deep treat right quick with a gentle heat source! You will need to replenish the moisture back into your hair, as well as detangle your hair with a moisture-rich conditioner. You don’t need to put conditioner on your scalp. it might make things oily and clog your scalp. Instead, apply the conditioner from the mid-shaft down to the ends of your hair. Then, let it sit at the recommended time (usually found on the bottle). Some conditioners need to sit for 5 to 7 minutes while deep treatment conditioners like the Cupuacu Butter & Moringa Oil Moisturizing Deep Treatment sit for 20-30 minutes. Letting it sit this amount of time will soften and smooth your hair, making it shinier and very moisturized. Don’t leave your deep conditioner in for too long. Rinse again. Just like the shampoo, get it all out.

After-Wash Care

Step 4: Moisturise and Seal.

Once you get out of the shower, gently pat your hair damp instead of rubbing it. Moisturise your hair using the LOC or LCO method. Bearing your hair porosity in mind, how you layer your products determines how effective your hair moisturising routine will be. 

To use the LOC method:

  • Start with freshly washed hair that is damp.
  • Follow up with the hair and scalp serum and smoothen the oil down your hair gently.
  • Then, apply the leave-in conditioner to each section of hair and smoothen it down your hair as well. That’s it for this method!

To improve hair growth, apply our iconic Hair Elixir made with an advanced formula containing a complex blend of clinically proven high-quality ingredients to help your hair appear visibly longer, thicker, and fuller looking. Apply straight to the scalp and massage it gently to allow for maximum absorption. Massage into the problematic areas every morning and night. Remember a little goes a long way with the elixir. Do not rinse, it is safe to leave it on all day.

Takeaways.

Don’t wash your hair every day

Seriously.

Don’t wash your hair every day, or you’ll strip your hair of its natural oils. This can dry and damage your hair in the long run.

But, like your shampoo, the optimal amount of time to wash your hair varies a little depending on your hair type.

Looser hair types may require washing every 2 to 3 days, but kinky curly hair types may only need washing once a week or in two weeks.

Either way, letting your hair go a few days between washes gives your hair’s natural oils the chance to do their thing and keep your hair healthy.

Cupuacu butter is fast gaining the spotlight as one of nature’s greatest moisturizers, having been compared to shea butter to share the same properties. Many people don’t like the weighted feeling they get when they use shea butter, so cupuacu butter is an excellent alternative.
Cupuaçu, Theobroma grandiflorum, also known as Cupuassu is about 20 metres high tree that grows in the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest. Its fruit is about the size of a cantaloupe and ripens in the rainy months from January to April.

The pulp that surrounds the seed is used to produce juice, jam and ice-cream, while the seeds are pressed to remove the oily butter. For years, the people of the Amazon have been using this plant as a luxurious moisturizer for both hair and skin.

Cupuaçu butter has been a great vegan alternative to lanolin and does not have the same issues with skin irritability that lanolin does. This makes cupuaçu butter a popular ingredient in formulating not only hair care products but skincare products for those with skin sensitivities.

At Reina haircare, we love Cupuacu butter and its benefits as an Amazonian superfruit. So much so, that we have added it as a key ingredient for our deep treatment and leave-in curl defining moisturizer.

Products That Have Cupuacu Butter As A Top Ingredient.

If you haven’t made up your mind about adding the Cupuacu butter to your hair care routine; the following reasons will make you reconsider.

 Here Are Five Benefits of Cupuacu Butter On Natural Hair.

Benefits of cupuacu butter for natural hair
  • Increases Hair Elasticity.

Cupuacu butter is primarily long-chain fatty acids that form triglycerides. Oleic acid is the main fatty acid found in cupuacu butter at 30-43% followed by lauric acid at about 25%.  It helps maintain hair elasticity and hydration.

Hair elasticity means your hair’s ability to stretch without losing its original shape. It’s a measure of your hair’s health and protein/moisture balance. High hair elasticity makes styling easier and gives shine and bounce.

  • Absorbs Easily.

One of the perks of cupuacu butter is that it’s much lighter than shea butter. It doesn’t take as long to feel like it’s all soaked into your hair, despite keeping them moisturized for hours after application. It deeply nourishes dry or brittle hair and is a highly moisturizing emollient butter for the hair. 

  • Absorbs Water Well Into The Hair.

Cupuaçu butter is popular as a natural emulsifier, because of its high water absorption capacity. The oleic acid makes it easier for active ingredients to penetrate into cells and protect the skin from moisture loss at the same time. The butter contains vitamin E, which acts as an antioxidant and contributes to the regeneration of the scalp’s lipid layer. It does not leave an oily film on the scalp.

  • Stimulates Hair Growth.

Regular massage of the cupuacu butter into the hair and scalp as a form of hair mask works effectively to boost hair growth, especially for people who have slow hair growth. The rich nutrients contained in cupuacu butter feed the hair follicles and allow them to grow more healthy hair at a faster rate.

  • Repairs and Protects The Hair.

Cupuacu butter repairs & prevents split ends, mends & stops hair breakage, repairs & restores damaged hair, reduces frizz, acts as a heat & UV rays protectant and leaves your hair intensely moisturized.

In a nutshell, this amazing moisturizing deep conditioner detangles, nourishes, repairs restores, softens, stimulates growth, hydrates & moisturizes, dry, brittle, frizzy & colour treated hair while protecting your hair from the harsh UV rays. Cupuaçu Butter is a much healthier option for your natural hair journey than Shea Butter. Products made from this butter is readily available at Reina Haircare. Check it out and purchase yours too.

What food is to the body is exactly what deep conditioning is to natural hair; Nourishment. Do you know how the body turns when it’s not fed correctly? That’s what happens when you deep condition your hair wrongly. 

Contrary to popular belief, deep conditioning is nothing compared to your regular conditioning. If you’ve often missed it, don’t worry; you’re going to get a better understanding from this article. 

What Is Deep Conditioning?

Deep conditioning is the act of applying nourishing products to your hair and leaving them in for a longer time than you would with a regular conditioner.

Unlike your regular conditioners, you can only deep condition your hair once or twice a week, depending on your hair needs. But for your deep conditioning to be effective, you need to do it right. 

Have you tried deep conditioning your hair, and it turns out to be a total disappointment? Here’s why:

  • Wrong Technique.

You could have the right products and all the patience you need, but if your routine isn’t organised, you’re back to square one. 

        – I don’t know what you’ve heard, but deep conditioning with your fingers gives you the best results.

          -Deep Conditioners can be your enemy, too, when you decide to leave it in overnight. Wrapping your hair shouldn’t exceed one hour no matter what result you want to achieve to avoid damaging your hair. 

  • Wrong Products.

Nothing ruins a good routine like using the wrong products. Choosing the wrong deep conditioner for hair will end up damaging your hair instead of nourishing your hair. Save yourself the stress and use Cupuacu Butter & Moringa Oil Moisturising Deep Treatment By Reina HairCare.

  • Lack Of Patience.

As mentioned earlier, deep conditioning is not like regular conditioning. It’s certainly not a procedure you start when you’re in a hurry. Every step counts and determines how perfect your outcome will be. So if you’re among those who are always in a hurry to get it done with, your hair will barely be deep conditioned. Always make sure to smooth in the deep conditioner to every strand of your hair when working in sections. Do not forget the roots of your hair because that’s where matting usually occurs. 

Now you’ve found out why your deep conditioning never works. Let’s fix that!

You will be needing:

How To Deep Condition Natural Hair Properly.

  • Get into the shower. This process can be done over the sink if a professional is helping, but If you’re doing it yourself, we recommend you use the shower.
  • Loosely braid or twist your hair into sections. This technique makes your deep conditioning easier, especially if you’re working with your natural hair. Section your hair and loosely twist into 4-5 sections. 
  • Ideally, you should deep condition clean hair. So wet your hair and shampoo, then rinse thoroughly. 
  • Apply your deep conditioner. Work on each section of your hair one at a time while loosening each twist. Using the tips of your fingers, gently massage your deep conditioner into your hair. Start applying from the tip of your hair and work your way gently to the roots.  Make sure to massage your hair thoroughly to enable it to soak in the deep conditioner properly.  You see why you need active fingers? *winks*
  • Take note not to apply deep conditioners to your scalp. It’s meant only for your natural hair. 
  • After working on each section, loosely twist back your hair to increase absorption and lock in moisture.

Pro tip: Applying your deep conditioner in sections is a great way of detangling your hair. You’re working your fingers through each strand of your hair, nourishing and detangling at the same time. One stone, two birds

  • Clip your hair. Now you’re done working on each section of your hair, clip your hair together. This prevents strands of your hair from falling to your face.
  • Cover up! Using your shower cap or grocery bag, cover your hair. Make sure it covers up air-tight. The heat generated under the bag helps your hair get deep conditioned. 
  • Get distracted. You might want to do other things because you need to leave the bag for 30-45mins.

Then rinse with warm water first and then cool water. Yes! Cool water. It will help your hair cuticles close in and retain moisture from the deep conditioner. After Deep Conditioning, apply the Moisturising Leave-in Conditioner and Hair & Scalp Serum for long-lasting moisture & hydration.

Characteristics Of A Good Deep Conditioner.

  • Suits Your Hair Needs.

Look out for deep conditioners that are made specifically to suit your hair needs. Your hair type and porosity determine the type of deep conditioner that best suits your hair. Coarse, curly or thick hair needs a hydrating/moisturising deep conditioner. Smooth, dry or straight hair needs extra moisturising deep conditioner with soothing agents. You need a deep conditioner that penetrates deep into your hair, so knowing what your hair needs helps you buy products that will penetrate your hair shaft and scalp. The Reina HairCare Moisturizing Deep Conditioners are formulated for people with curly, coily and kinky natural hair (Type 3-4 hair types).

  • Emollients. 

A good deep conditioner should provide the hair with antioxidants and hydration because of their hydrophilic (water-loving) properties. They also help stimulate hair growth at the follicle, combat dandruff and dry scalp, and increase the amount of shine in the hair. 

  • Ingredients.

Pay attention to the ingredients contained in your deep conditioner. Deep Conditioners that contain Cupuacu butter, Moringa oil, Green tea extract, Baobab oil, Shea butter, Coconut oil make good products. These ingredients help the hair retain moisture and become easily manageable.

Why Deep Conditioning Is Essential.

Deep-conditioning in itself provides your hair with nutrients and moisturises your hair, making it appear soft and shiny. Deep conditioning prevents your hair from damages and promotes elasticity. 

In conclusion, you can achieve healthy, soft, shiny, and lustrous hair if you deep-condition your hair correctly and follow the proper steps.

Do you know that human hair is naturally dry? The scalp produces natural oils, but they don’t slide down the hair strands. Moisturising is the most important step in keeping your natural hair healthy and flourishing. Before moisturising your hair, you need to know how porous your hair is. Hair porosity is the ability of the hair to absorb and retain moisture. It could be normal, low or high in porosity.

Normal Porosity = moisture is relatively easy to absorb and retained quite well.

Low Porosity = moisture is difficult to absorb but easy to retain.

High Porosity = moisture is easily absorbed but quickly lost.

Note that no hair porosity type is better than the other. What matters is making sure your moisturising routine caters to your unique hair needs.

Bearing your hair porosity in mind, how you layer your products determines how effective your hair moisturising routine will be. 

In this article, we’ll be looking at the two best methods of moisturizing natural hair and how to choose the method that would work best for your hair porosity. The two methods are the LOC and LCO methods.

The LOC Method Of Moisturizing Natural Hair.

The LOC method stands for Liquid, Oil, Cream, describing the order in which you should apply and layer your products.

For Liquid (L), I recommend water as it is the most hydrating. Water is your friend, and spritzing water on your hair regularly will be of great benefit to you. You can also use liquid-based formulas like mist but I highly recommend water.

Next, you need your Oil (O) to lock in this moisture. Use oils that are not too heavy and can easily penetrate your hair without leaving a greasy feel on your strands. The Reina Hair & Scalp Serum is the best product for this.

Finally, you need your Cream (C) to close your hair cuticles and retain moisture. Cream here means a leave-in conditioner and we recommend the Reina HairCare Leave-in conditioner which contains cupuacu butter. Cupuacu butter is the most moisturizing butter ever discovered. Shea butter is nowhere close to how moisturizing this butter is. The LOC/LCO set is the best if you use the LOC or LCO method of moisturizing natural hair.

To use the LOC method:

  • Start with freshly washed hair that is damp. If you are moisturising within the week, just spritz water on your hair using a spray bottle. 
  • Follow up with the hair and scalp serum and smoothen the oil down your hair gently.
  • Then, apply the leave-in conditioner to each section of hair and smoothen it down your hair as well. That’s it for this method!

I recommend LOC for high porosity hair. Oil helps high porosity hair become less porous, meaning it won’t over absorb moisture. By applying oil before your cream, the oil acts as a barrier, helping the hair strands hold onto the liquid from the first step and only absorb what it needs from the cream step.

The LCO Method Of Moisturizing Natural Hair.

The LCO method stands for Liquid, Cream and Oil. The difference between the LOC and LCO methods is the order you apply the products.

  • Start with freshly washed hair using water as liquid (L). Also, If you are moisturising within the week, just spritz water on your hair using a spray bottle.
  • Divide your hair into sections.
  • Apply the Reina HairCare moisturising leave-in curl defining custard from root to tip, smoothing it down evenly.
  • Work the Hair and scalp serum into each section of hair evenly to seal moisture into your hair shaft and that’s it!

I recommend the LCO method for low porosity hair. Apply your cream second, and add the thin layer of oil at the end. Take it slow with low porosity hair, carefully applying and massaging each product into your hair section by section. This hair porosity type needs more time to absorb moisture, so don’t rush it.

What To Bear In Mind.

  • If all three products are still too much for your hair, take one out. Try out an LO or an LC.
  • Make sure to shampoo your hair thoroughly to avoid product buildup and detoxify once in two months using the 6 In 1 Bentonite Clay Mask to remove toxins from the scalp and hair. You can click HERE to learn what bentonite clay can do for your hair and scalp’s health.
  • All products mentioned are available on the Reina HairCare website.

For most people, whenever you hear the word “detoxification”, some parts of your body come to mind, well, except your hair and scalp. Hair and scalp detox is one of the latest trends in the natural hair world, and it’s here to stay. This article is not aimed at making you see why you should join the bandwagon but to help you understand why detoxifying your hair and scalp eliminates any form of issues like dandruff, limp dry hair and breakages. And using bentonite clay is a game changer!

In this article, I’ll be educating you on three essential reasons why you need to detoxify your hair and scalp, not just with any product but with bentonite clay simply because it works best.

What Does Hair and Scalp Detox Mean?

First of all, do you know what hair and scalp detox mean? Generally, you know that detox aids to get rid of product buildup. Detox in simpler terms also means deep and thorough removal of dirt. So, hair detox is the process of removing dirt, oil, and product buildup from your hair strands. A scalp detox is a method of massaging the scalp by brushing or using an exfoliating scrub, which helps buff away dead skin cells, unclog the pores on your scalp, and clear product buildup from the hair follicles.

So just the way the skin of your face needs detox, the scalp and the hair need detox too. Rather than using different products to achieve these results, bentonite clay is more effective and serves as a clarifying shampoo and conditioner. I understand accessing the original unadulterated bentonite clay mask is a herculean task which is why I highly recommend you use the Reina HairCare 6 in 1 Bentonite Clay Hair and Scalp mask. This product is all shades of amazing as it also contains apricot seeds which are very powerful in detoxification. With the presence of the seeds, you’d think it would make the clay difficult to wash off. No, sis! It doesn’t. It also doubles as a conditioner because it has an amazing slip making detangling a walk in the park.

But Hold On, What Is Bentonite Clay?

Bentonite Clay

Bentonite clay is a mud-like substance derived from volcanic ash. Bentonite clay is used on the hair as a natural way to add moisture and remove toxins. It’s sometimes used in the personal skincare care industry as a face mask.

Benefits Of Bentonite Clay Mask For Hair and Scalp Detoxification.

Bentonite clay deeply cleans the scalp, removing dead skin cells and toxins. Not only does it wash the toxins out of your hair, but it also strengthens your hair and prevents hair loss by cleaning the hair follicles so that they can absorb water and so you can continue to grow thicker, healthy hair. Bentonite Clay also contains a mixture of natural minerals beneficial for your hair and encourages hair growth.

Besides working as an excellent hair mask, bentonite clay also makes for an excellent hair rinse that adds intense shine to your hair.

Here Are Reasons You Should Detoxify Your Scalp Today.

  • Think about Bentonite Clay like a magnet for product buildup. When you wash the clay out of your hair, you remove all impurities and build-up with it. The Reina HairCare Bentonite Clay draws out impurities from hair and scalp. Bentonite is a negatively charged clay that attracts positively charged product build-up and heavy metal toxins.
  • Bentonite Clay also has antimicrobial properties. It kills bacteria, viruses, and fungi from the scalp and hair. It’s perfect to use if you have dandruff, scalp fungus, or seborrheic dermatitis as it helps to maintain a healthy scalp.
  • Bentonite Clay gently cleanses & exfoliates your scalp while deeply cleansing your hair and providing deep conditioning to leave you with supremely defined curls, coils and kinks.

Pro Tip On Using Bentonite Clay.

To maximise the benefits of the Bentonite Clay, mix with water to activate the natural minerals in the clay. Mix with other ingredients like Apple cider vinegar and Moringa oil. This is why I recommend the Reina HairCare 6 in 1 Bentonite Clay Hair and Clay mask because it already contains apple cider vinegar, apricot seed powder, eucalyptus oil, moringa oil as active ingredients so you don’t need to start looking for ingredients to mix while making a DIY which could alter the clay mask.

This 6 In 1 Bentonite Clay Mask is already activated and ready to use.

Section your hair, spritz water on hair as this helps apply the mask smoothly, apply the Reina HairCare bentonite clay mask product from roots to tips, massage into scalp and continue down hair strands. Roll up your hair and put on a shower cap. Leave the mask in for 30-45 minutes and rinse off thoroughly with warm water.

Once the clay is washed off the hair, the result is always soft and supple clean but not stripped of moisture. You can check out reviews of others that have used the bentonite clay mask to see what they are saying. 

Just as abuse of anything is detrimental, be careful not to overuse the bentonite clay mask. Use between once in two months to about 4-6 times a year as the clay mask works as a powerful detoxifier and you do not want to over-detoxify your hair and scalp.

If you have never detoxified your natural hair and scalp, you seriously need to. You’ll notice the difference when you’re done. Share this post to educate others as well.
