What is Bentonite Clay?
Bentonite clay (montmorillonite) is a mud-like substance derived from volcanic ash. It’s soft, pliable, and has one of the highest oil-absorbing capacities.
It’s known for its deep-cleansing and detoxifying properties, and has been used for centuries as an alternative medicine to treat digestive issues, bug bites, and dry skin.
Today, Bentonite clay is gaining a very favorable reputation in the cosmetic industry for its cleansing qualities.
Bentonite Clay Benefits for Hair
When it comes to hair, Bentonite clay is a go-to deep clarifying cleanser and softener.
Here are its key benefits:
1. Hydrates Hair and Scalp:
Bentonite clay has the ability to detoxify without drying out the scalp, and helps heal skin conditions, providing relief from itchiness and irritation.
2. Effectively Clarifies Hair:
Bentonite clay acts as a cleanser by removing impurities and toxins from hair and scalp. It does so without stripping the hair, using only natural ingredients.
3. Removes Dandruff and Flakiness:
Bentonite clay draws out excess sebum, and fights fungus and infection thanks to its antimicrobial, and antifungal properties.
4. Controls Frizz and Improves Shine:
Bentonite clay will control frizz and reduce tangling, promoting natural shape and texture. Its moisture-boosting properties, if combined with champagne, provide shine-enhancing benefits.
5. Strengthens Hair Follicles:
Bentonite clay deeply cleanses hair follicles, which stimulates hair growth. It also contains calcium and sodium, which help build stronger, thicker, and more vibrant hair.
