Rhassoul clay can be found in the Atlas range of mountains in Morocco and contains a wide variety of trace minerals that nourish many different hair types.
The negative charge of rhassoul clay binds to the positive charge of chemicals, heavy metals, dirt and other impurities where they absorb contaminants and leave behind restorative nutrients. Cleansing and detoxifying, clay shampoos are wonderful for transitioning from conventional hair products. They leave the hair with luster, shine, and definition.
The kelp and marshmallow powder in this recipe provide slip and shine and ensure that the drawing nature of clay does not over-dry the hair strand or scalp.

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.

Hi
Want try Rhassoul shampoo can you tell what brand do you use?
Thank you.

I’m definitely going to try this! On a side note, Rhassoul in Arabic means messenger. I think she meant ‘Ghassoul’ meaning wash ☺️
