Rhassoul is a cosmetic made of natural mineral clay mined from the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. It is combined with water to clean the body and has been used by North African women for centuries to care for their skin and hair. Rhassoul contains silica, iron, potassium, sodium, lithium and trace elements. This beauty aid is known to be an amazing detoxifying mask that can prevent breakouts, cleanse pores, exfoliate and nourish the skin because of its innumerable nutrients. Before starting using it as a shampoo there are a few things you should know.

"First, store-bought shampoos usually have a pH level of around 5-6, which closely matches your hair’s natural pH. While this is a good thing, it is most often achieved using toxic surfactants such as sodium lauryl sulfate. Clay, on the other hand, has a much higher pH which can leave hair dull and gummy. Fortunately, it’s very simple to restore your hair’s natural pH after washing – continue reading to know how.

Another consideration when transitioning to natural shampoo is the use of silicone in many commercial brands. Silicone coats the hair much like plastic to give it slip and shine. 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." says Heather from Mommypotamus.com. Now it's time to prepare your natural shampoo!

How To Mud Wash

The quantity of Rhassoul Clay you will need depends on the length and type of hair you have. For example, mid length normal hair need approximately 2 tablespoons of clay plus water or apple vinegar for extra deep clean. Add water little by little, while mixing it all together until you get the a quite a tick but still soft consistency, similar to an egg yolk. If you have dry scalp or dandruff just ad five drops of Argan Hair Treatment or Hair Oil to the mixture.

Now it's time to wash your hair. Apply Rhassoul Clay a little at a time on your scalp and start gently massaging it. If you wash your hair every two days or so, massage the product for around two minutes or for five minutes if your hair is very dirty. Massaging your scalp is also important to stimulate your skin and promote circulation to deliver nutrients to your lovely hair. We always suggest to not apply Rhassoul Clay to the lengths because is not where the sebum is located and you will only dry your hair. That portion will be washed out anyway when you rinse everything off and the product goes all the way down.

How To WOW! Hair 

Now it's time to wash everything off and moisturize. Use a few pumps of Argan Hair Treatment to deeply nourish and treat ends. Thanks to its high quality and pure ingredients this product will deliver you WOW! hair.
