Equipment
Medium sized glass or ceramic bowl
1 wide-mouth pint glass jar or airtight container
Application
Wet hair.
Use ¼ cup clay shampoo at a time, and massage into the scalp.
Using another smaller scoop, spread through the ends of hair in a downward motion. Rinse, or for deeper cleansing allow clay to sit in hair for 3-5 minutes.
Thoroughly rinse all of the clay out, which may take longer than washing out a traditional shampoo.
Modifications
For oily or coarse hair use sea clay or rhassoul clay.
For dry or fine hair use kaolin or rose clay.
To reduce dandruff and encourage hair growth, add 2 teaspoons amalaki (amla) powder.
Storage
Store clay shampoo in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
