Typically, Bentonite clay, as well as the other clays, are applied to both the scalp and hair strands. Bentonite clay has both cleansing and conditioning properties, so it does not make sense to only apply it to the scalp. Bentonite clay actually conditions, moisturizes, softens, and reduces frizz. It also encourages curl definition and shine. Hence, it is ideal to apply it from root to tip, not just the scalp
I've used bentonite clay several times. The detoxifying properties are very true. I had this really bad pain in my scalp once and decided to use a bentonite clay mask (mixed with tea tree). I kid you not by the next day the inflammation was gone. To me, bentonite clay is one of the greatest gifts the Earth has given us.
I have been watching you since you had 30,000 followers. I love seeing your channel grow and I am not surprised that it has since you give such great SCIENTIFICALLY backed research. You have helped me with my hair journey as a 4c girl. Even though I have been natural all my life I did not start taking care of my hair until 3 years ago, when it got tough your videos gave me inspiration to continue. Thanks for making me laugh and saving my hair.
I swear you are the only ONE who has broke this all the way down... everyone else just shows themselves slapping it on and rinsing it out after so long and ‘that’s it’ and I’m just liiike 👀😩😳🙈😑😶🤔 wait - how, what, when and why!
I just wanted to come to your channel and say thank you for loving your 4c natural hair and inspiring us to do the same. There are so many videos showing women who do not appreciate their 4c natural and me being a recent natural, seeing that is really discouraging. So thank you!!! Our hair is very high maintenance but we have to learn to love what God gave us :)
Lol people not using grease no more huh? My momma told me "You better use some grease on your scalp! That's what we used on your head back in the day and y'all had long thick hair! Lol GOD BLESS.
I use Rhassoul clay wash as my shampoo. Stopped using regular shampoo over a year ago. I like Rhassoul over Bentonite because it's more moisturizing however they both give great results. BTW---Your hair is lovely.
Because of you I use bentonite clay!! I've been using it for a month now and I love it!! I pre-poo, detoxify with bentonite clay and ACV, deep condition w/ TGIN honey mask (God sent this just for me! Lol), and I end it with a black tea rinse. Still not sure what's the benefit of the black tea rinse but I saw you do it and I figured I should too since our hair type is similar!
Kayla..you answered my question this morning..when the heck should the BClay come in..as which product can I replace it during my wash day..so I appreciate this feedback you gave esp since you've been doing so for a long enough period of time...thanks to you and nappy fu and the extended fam for the feedback and contributions..let me go wash my hair now..
I just tried the bentonite clay with apple cider vinegar on my hair and my curls came back to life. I was so happy and so grateful! Thank you for the great tips.
I plan on using the clay on my hair soon but I did apply it to my injured back and I love the results that I got from it I swear it actually eased my back pain off.
I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS VIDEO. THE FACT THAT YOU GO INTO DETAIL AND EXPLAIN EVERYTHING IS BOMB. ALSO YOUR HUMOR IS A GREAT TOUCH AS WELL. THANKS LOVE.
I am so late to the game with this. Tried bentonite clay, today, after watching your video. OMG...my 4c hair has never been so soft and moisturized. I'm keeping bentonite clay in my rotation. Thank you NappyFu❤
I love using bentonite and rhassoul clays together. The rhassoul is less drying. So if you find that your hair is drier than you'd like after using bentonite, try adding a little rhassoul.
hey nappyfu!😄 I really love watching your videos they're very helpful. I don't have your hair texture but my sister does and ever since I've been using your tips for her hair, her hair has been growing like crazy in a couple of months! Just a suggestion, could u do more vlogs/storytimes? I'd love to watch them 😊 lots of love from Trinidad ❤
Hey Fu, I love the clay mask i use it about every 3-4 months and my hair loves it. I did notice that because of Bclay has such a high ph it's more effective than the Rhausoul clay on Low porosity hair allowing me to reach maximum hydration faster. Appreciate the Videos chic😙😙😙!!!
Lol I definitely dont have any plans of quitting...I honestly just became super busy with other work that I didnt hv time to edit and upload videos. However I have been recording. Editing & uploading is what takes the most time. Thanks for your support hun!!!
I am team rhassoul clay!😊 I use it for my hair (especially in winter) and on my body once/twice a month instead of conventional shower gel with my exfoliating glove, it's bomb to get rid of dead skin 👌🏾
I completely understand why you would say to use an acidic fluid with bentonite clay to lower the ph. However, my hair is extremely low in porosity so I benefit from this high alkaline product. I do follow up with a more acidic mixture to balance it out. I use the clay every two weeks to wash my hair and swell up my cuticles to receive the moisture from the deep conditioner (okra based, I add pure honey and Aloe Vera Juice) that I follow up with. Once a month, I follow up with a fermented rice water rinse (which is also a protein treatment). To style my hair I apply an Okra based moisturizer/styler (if I don’t have that I just cook the okra myself and add some oils to it). After this I either braid it up or twist it up. Apply moisturizer after 2 days to retwist. Saturate my hair in the shower every week and add the same moisturizer. Every two weeks is wash day. That’s it. Took me a while to find a routine that works for me but think I’ve finally got it down. I had to completely walk away from the LOC/LCO and even LO methods. At this point it’s probably the M method?? Although my moisturizer is quite creamy so could also just be the C method 🤔 My hair loves milks and serums, that kind of thing. LOVES honey!! Butters are almost a definite no no (fine 4b hair). Oils(especially olive oil) and Aloe Vera work in conditioners, not as stand alone products layered on top of other products.
I love bentonite clay for our hair. After I rinse it out and apply the deep conditioner, it just seems to melt right into our strands and penetrates the hair shaft much better. I use it more often on my 13 year old's hair because she has low porosity hair and that just seem to stay moisturized. I also add rhassoul clay to our deep conditioners (for the wash days we use shampoo) and it helps the conditioner really penetrate into our strands.
As soon as I heard “whyyyy” I subscribed with the speed of lightening. Asides that you’ve answered the question I couldn’t find anywhere on google, thank you ! 😂
I mix bentonite, kaolin and Rhassoul clay to get all the benefits of each, add ACV to bring the pH down and add some honey and palm kernel oil to moisturise so that it isn't too drying and balances out the clay and ACV. It's a really good pH balanced, non-drying hair cleanser. And then I follow it up with a herbal hair rinses. Yeah, over-complicated, I know - but it works really well for me! :)
Great info Nappy Fu. The only exception I see to not adding to the ends of hair, is in my case where I do add to my ends after any surgery where anesthesia is given, such as in the case of the major surgery I just had. In this case I find it absolutely necessary to apply all over the hair. Anesthesia creates havac to all of your system. It really creates havac on your hair and even nails and skin. It's so important to flush this out of your system following a surgery as soon as possible. This is something that even your surgeon suggests. Anesthesia can even stay in your system creating havac months later. As a person who has had her share of surgeries, I can attest to this. Not only how it slugs other parts of our body hindering it from easily getting rid of waste and toxins including residual anesthesia, but the extra fallout and shedding I experience, and even the change in texture of my hair. As a result, there are steps that I now take to protect my hair before and after. As this last surgery, an ACDF on my cervical spine, I knew that it would be more than a month before I could even do my hair again, as I'm still not allowed to raise my arms above my head or even drive my car. Therefore extra TLC to my 4C hair was necessary before, and still remains in a protective style, but even so I know that it needs detoxifing of the anesthesia, my daughter helps me keep it moisturized, but it now dries out so quickly, for me a dead give away of the amount of anesthesia still in it. So as soon as I am given the go-ahead by my doctor's, I will be doing your regimen here, but all over everyone one of my strands, followed by intense conditioning. Just thought I'd share this with you and anyone else who it may come as a concern to for thought.
I just returned to using clay, but still love clarifying my low porosity hair. Products work so much better when I clarify over clay washing. Just did a video on clay wash, mixed bentonite and rhassuol clay!
I was holding off on subscribing but today I had to. I love how she uses her channel to educate and doesn't try to stretch out the video for more money from RUclips. What she can't fit is in the description box and I love that
I use the clay and love it!!! I have noticed hair growth in the nape area of my head. But I leave it on my head for about a hour is that too long??? I dont experience any dryness because I do wear a plastic cap. But it has changed my life so much that I now seek out clay based shampoos (hawaiian silky has a nice one. waiting to try Carols daughters clay shampoo). I have also noticed that my hair gets very curly after I rinse, another added bonus!!! love your channel.
Paula Smith Honestly if you haven't witnessed any trouble w/ leaving it on that long then you should be good 👍 Question: how often do you use the clay based shampoos or Bentonite clay wash?
Infiniti Williams hi ms williams just saw your reply. so sorry!! I use the clay mask every time I shampoo since I only do wash n go's. so I really need to make sure all of that gel is out. I am so far only using the clay based shampoos. so I really only wash my hair every 2 weeks because I make my hairdos last that long. You have got to try it, your hair will start curling after you wash, and you have no product in it! So you can imagine when you add that gel or curling cream, BEAUTIFUL!!
Paula Smith Haha 😆 I ended up using the clay to clarify my scalp and I was surprised by how clean my scalp was 😥😍 like no product build up and the curls were popping too. I'm going to start incorporating the clay into my wash routine as well. I cleanse weekly. Thank you for the reply!
Actually since I have low porosity thick strand hair, I like to use clay just because they have high Ph. I just use water. Nothing acidic. Then I restore my ph by doing an ayurvedic treatment (which are usually acidic) mix with some rice water. And also, I assure that my leave is acidic. So for my leave in I would use a mix that contains aloe juice, hibiscus infusion and okra gel. That routine works great on my hair. But of course, people needs to make their own research and adapted the use based to their own personal hair needs.
I use it regularly for my skin to help clear acne. I used it once in my henna dye, it actually made my hair softer than usual and helped the henna rinse out better.
Thank you so much. Thank you for insisting on using bentonite. I also discovered Greenbeauty thanks to you. I use rhassoul cla as a shampoo for 3 years now. When I mixed it with bentonite and apply it on my hair, after 10 min, I washed it, my hair was like we never ever ever going back again. I saw curls I didn't know I had, it was so clean and moiturised. Awesome. Bentonite, a game changer! THE GAME CHANGER. God bless you! I'm learning to love my hair and it's a beautiful journey. I've been natural for 10 years now but due to sickle cell, I've experienced hair fall, my hair stopped growing, always so fragil. I'm fighting now using bentonite, ayurvedic, collagen...Can't wait to see the result in 6 months.
Ho yes I have the result and even more. Your deep conditioner is in my freezer ahaha. I love avocado so much my heart can't stand putting fresh one in my hair. I bought the frozen avocado for the recipe and to thaw it, I put it in hibiscus water.
I love how you educate us ... and you just don't put up any thing on the YT. Thank so much for all the time you put into your videos because of you and many others i have very healthy hair.
I looked through a lot of videos on how to properly do this mask and this was the best one. Sweet short and to the point and very informative on where to properly apply and what to do after. Awesome job.
I absolutely love your channel I have Been watching all night. I have been natural for 7 years now. But I never took the time to give it TLC. I always wore it in a protective style( wigs). Anyway.. I found your Chanel and decided I need to start taking care of my 4c hair if I want to ever wear it out. My mother swears by the Jamaican mango lime hair line products. Can you please do a review on some of their products that you think would be beneficial for our 4c hair. Thank you 😊
#notificationsquad Thanks nappy fu! I feel like I learn so much from you. I've been natural 7 years but i just started actually taking care of it 6 months ago and I swear taking your advice (along with other research and youtubers) has transformed my hair. My used to be dry, damaged and ugly but now it looks very similar to yours. You're much appreciated!
I've used both Rhassoul and Bentonite Clay. I prefer the Rhassoul because I have more moisture but Bentonite is more easily accessible and cheaper. I always mix with acv and a little bit of oils I have laying around the house and I also add tea tree oil. Ever since I started using the clay mask my hair has flourished and also NO MORE ITCHY SCALP! Even when I washed with shampoo my scalp would itch so much but with the clay the problem has gone away.
Sorry I'm late, been spending the day with the hubby and just waking up from a nap! lol. I've been natural since I did my BC last year (June 2016). I've never used bentonite clay but I've heard MANY great things. I plan on trying it in the near future. Thanks for the info nappyfu! I found your channel a few months into my natural hair journey and I've been hooked ever since!!! Love from north Texas! ❤❤😘😘
I've used a bentonite clay mask for my face but I haven't tried it on my hair yet. A friend gave me enough to do a few face mask but not enough for my hair. It was great for my skin. I'll be trying it on my hair soon. Thanks for the video. Great, as always.
So glad you posted early, got my Sunday morning right. I use bentonite 1 a week or every 2 weeks in a face mask. It is a great skin detox for my oily and acne prone skin. I will never use it in my hair because I don't want it going down the drain, I teach art and clay clogs the drain. It cost over $1k to fix the sink at work the first year I taught ceramics, I'm not about that life.
BlessedByHim ceramic/sculpting clay does and I am not risking it. Although, I have not researched the similarities or differences between facial/body clays.
I Mac That has always been my concern. My friend told me to try it anyway, at her house. I used the kitchen sink with a couple coffee filters in the drain. Unfortunately, the water went around them, so if I tried it again, I would secure them down in some way.
I looked that up a while ago.....I read that facial clay doesn't clog drains unless used in a excessive amount. As in tons of it on a regular bases. So I definitely was concerned about that too but so far no problems there. I use it like once or twice a month. It possibly clogging drains is something to consider when using this though and then it also depends what type of drain system you have too. So its definitely something one needs to research. Good point you made.
When I do my face mask, I'm so paranoid plastic lined sink and a paper towel layer. My house is almost 100 yrs old so if the plumbing gets a hint of messed up they would try to get me to re-pipe the whole thing to bring it up to modern standards.
Hi NappyFu. love from Barbados. i use Bentonite clay....Rhassoul Clay and just recently enjoyed Kaolin Clay. I love all 3. I use clay once a week for 3 weeks then on week 4 shampoo to clarify OR every 2 weeks alternate between shampoo and clay.....depends on how my weeks are organised.... I've found Bentonite a bit drying for my 4c kinks and coils so in recent times I've found combining it with a more moisturizing clay like kaolin to help.
poohkbbear ooo I like how you switch them out (the clay & shampoo) b/c I've heard good things about Bentonite clay and used it a few times before but I want to use it consistently for long term results so I'm gonna try that 😆 the power of reading the comment section 👌
I use bentonite clay on my face..I love it. I used it on my hair once and I don’t think I did it right, deff using your tips tonight! Today is wash day
I really love your videos you have so much knowledge and i appreciate you sharing it with the rest of us. Your also realistic and understand that everyone ain't got the money to blow on products from using it too much. But most importantly girl your hilarious lol and i love that you love your hair. I had never used the clay because I just found out about it like 3 weeks ago lol and I've only been natural for about a year. But i may try it. Great video
I was very skeptical about using the bentonite clay on my hair I already had been using it for my skin but I said why not. Sis the way my curls popped after that and my D.C. 🙌🏾It's amazing, while I know it's not a clarifier per ur vid I don't see myself clarifying much anymore I like this much better and it's cheap.
fairly new watcher for the last year . Love hearing from you . I have used this clay and love it I'll try it with out shampoo. Thanks for your being here.
Hey Nappy Fu! I absolutely LOVE your channel. Your personaliand spirit truly shines with each video 😃😃😃. Quick question: How often do you use the Bentonite Clay on your hair?
My hair is very short. Therefore, I don't like to use products that don't go on the ends on my hair. When it grows out a few more inches, I will try it.
Very informative, like always. I love how you make is educational and funny at the same time lol. i got great results when i tried it on my 4c hair, & i just posted it as my first video on my channel. Bentonite is definitely going to be a staple product for my detox days. Thanks again for such great tips.
NappyFu I've only used it on my face up until this week. I've had amazing results with it on my hair. Talk about defined curlz fo dayz! I just have one question: How often should I do this? Luv your channel and blessings to you.
Napp Fu! I love seeing you all up on my screen! I am a Rhassoul kind of gal but clay washes have always been kind to me. Thanks for another informative video!
I tried it first with water and I love it. It made it easier to deranged my hair. When I used it with ACV it made my dyed red hair orange. Lol. And it was more tangled and dry after ACV. I currently have it on my head right now with water.
Please clarify: my hair hasn't been washed in 2 weeks. So using the clay on my wet hair be replacing shampooing my hair? If so do I then deep condition afterwards?
New sub..came here for this vid..will stay because of the education and very supportive tribe..continued success sis for this and all other endeavors..will share as i learn and practice to help us all on this beautiful natural hair journey..😍
I've used bentonite clay on my hair and my face...I absolutely LOVE the results...I'm glad you cleared up what exactly bentonite clay does for our hair and about not just adding water to it...cuz my sis is allergic to acv so I was just gonna use water for her hair...now I know we'd be better off with aloe Vera juice...thanks as always for these lovely videos
Hey Nappyfu love your videos. I have been using Bentonite Clay since I was a teenager, but only for a face mask (does wonders for the skin). Mom used to give it all the females in the family to use. Yes, we used it with ASV. Let me tell everyone this, the thicker the mask you will fill the pulsation if you will let it completely dry. When you was off do in circular motion with warm water or it will hurt coming off.
I subscribed to your channel it think in 2016 (can't remember) BUT we got the same hair type so every video you have on your channel has A LOT of significance to me!!! Bentonite Clay made my hair look like a 4a/4b the first time I used it. My hair has never felt so great. You're great. Also your African accent cracks me up; I do my Haitian accent around my friend for the same reason you do..spice it up a bit. :P lol
Thank you! The concept sounds like a messy disaster that would take forever to rinse out, but.... the walkthrough helps. I happen to have some clay already so I will try this.
Right on time. New subby here. I found your channel by searching bentonite clay and you are hilarious. I have 3b/c hair but you are soooo funny I have to watch. Love your humor, beauty and confidence 😊
Hey NappyFu, I love this video, and I love ALL the clays! I'm glad to know you use ACV in your bentonite clay, because that's how I mix mine. I use this mixture on my hair and scalp, and on my face. Thank you, thank you, thank you for letting us know to keep the clay OFF the ends...I did not know that! Thank you for all the informative and entertaining videos!
I enjoy your videos. Love to see you grow and glow. I bought some clay a while ago and have yet to use it. Got to give it a try. You are so informative. Love that. Thanks for sharing.
I use all the clays or at least I used to before starting my new Loc journey. I use Aloe and ACV along with water, an oil or two for my concoction. I like to let my Bentonite clay dry up before I rinse. I never had problems getting them out. I even sell a Rhassoul clay shampoo on my site.
Typically, Bentonite clay, as well as the other clays, are applied to both the scalp and hair strands. Bentonite clay has both cleansing and conditioning properties, so it does not make sense to only apply it to the scalp. Bentonite clay actually conditions, moisturizes, softens, and reduces frizz. It also encourages curl definition and shine. Hence, it is ideal to apply it from root to tip, not just the scalp
I LOVED the Bible verse at the beginning! 😊
Thank you!!
Yes, I peeped that a while ago...the reason why I follow!
Carina silva rosa x
I didn’t like it. That was the only reason I didn’t subscribe
YASSSSS
My hair said, “Thank you, mommy.” My scalp has finally stopped itching!! So if your hair itches doesn’t mean it’s growing (old wives tale!)
I love how you put a scripture on every video. I am a believer and I appreciate you.
I've used bentonite clay several times. The detoxifying properties are very true. I had this really bad pain in my scalp once and decided to use a bentonite clay mask (mixed with tea tree). I kid you not by the next day the inflammation was gone. To me, bentonite clay is one of the greatest gifts the Earth has given us.
Wow
that hair is getting long ma'am! 👍
Thank you for noticing hun!!
Your hair is beautiful, NappyFu. How often do you use bentonite clay on your hair.
Very nice hair!!

Awwwwww thank you so much Abibat!!! I appreciate your support!! xoxoxo
I swear you are the only ONE who has broke this all the way down... everyone else just shows themselves slapping it on and rinsing it out after so long and ‘that’s it’ and I’m just liiike 👀😩😳🙈😑😶🤔 wait - how, what, when and why!
Finally!! Someone who’s on the same page as me. I kept wondering why ladies were shampooing AND using the clay. Great video. Very informative ❤️
I just wanted to come to your channel and say thank you for loving your 4c natural hair and inspiring us to do the same. There are so many videos showing women who do not appreciate their 4c natural and me being a recent natural, seeing that is really discouraging. So thank you!!! Our hair is very high maintenance but we have to learn to love what God gave us :)
10 yrs natural never used bentonite clay. I fell back in love with GREASE though. yes grease!
Blue Magic?? lol
Andrea Barnes softee! lol for 1.00 (mango butter, Indian hemp) my hair stays so moisturized. so soft.
Lol people not using grease no more huh? My momma told me "You better use some grease on your scalp! That's what we used on your head back in the day and y'all had long thick hair! Lol GOD BLESS.
Mel S gurlll Softee works magic on the middle of my hair.
lol
I use Rhassoul clay wash as my shampoo. Stopped using regular shampoo over a year ago. I like Rhassoul over Bentonite because it's more moisturizing however they both give great results. BTW---Your hair is lovely.
JnD Lewis do yu deep condition after?
How often do you use it
Nappy fu be like I suggest you do your own research and I'm like nah I'm good I trust you! Lol
Lol i can do so much research but the moment i see one of her videos im like she's always right Lmao she just so knowledgeable
I swear by this clay mask for my 4c hair!! It makes it soft and defines curls!! Love your channel 😘
Me too
I knew I would get detailed info and not just steps watching this video. Love your content!!!
Because of you I use bentonite clay!! I've been using it for a month now and I love it!! I pre-poo, detoxify with bentonite clay and ACV, deep condition w/ TGIN honey mask (God sent this just for me! Lol), and I end it with a black tea rinse. Still not sure what's the benefit of the black tea rinse but I saw you do it and I figured I should too since our hair type is similar!
Thanks hun definitely check out my video on tea rinses that I currently have.....I will soon come out with a detailed one!!!
Thank you!! :-)
KaykBnice this is my regimen down to a T. Dang girl!!! 😂😂❤❤

Trini in the house here.lol...
I just tried this wash and my hair seemed to love it! I have never done a clay wash before!
Hey Fu, I love the clay mask i use it about every 3-4 months and my hair loves it. I did notice that because of Bclay has such a high ph it's more effective than the Rhausoul clay on Low porosity hair allowing me to reach maximum hydration faster. Appreciate the Videos chic😙😙😙!!!
Hey girl heeyyyyy! Missed you didn't know if you were on vacation or had quit RUclips. FYI: don't quit just yet, you offer up some good info!
Lol I definitely dont have any plans of quitting...I honestly just became super busy with other work that I didnt hv time to edit and upload videos. However I have been recording. Editing & uploading is what takes the most time.
Thanks for your support hun!!!
I am team rhassoul clay!😊
I use it for my hair (especially in winter) and on my body once/twice a month instead of conventional shower gel with my exfoliating glove, it's bomb to get rid of dead skin 👌🏾

I had to completely walk away from the LOC/LCO and even LO methods. At this point it’s probably the M method?? Although my moisturizer is quite creamy so could also just be the C method 🤔
My hair loves milks and serums, that kind of thing. LOVES honey!! Butters are almost a definite no no (fine 4b hair).

Love bentonite clay use it once a week for my face and once a month for my hair! Thee best!! 💜

I love using bentonite clay mixed with ACV and raw organic honey. Beautiful hair by the way!
We love bentonite clay. Lol! It's the only thing that gets my babies scalp squeaky clean. & it leaves our hair sooooo soft
As soon as I heard “whyyyy” I subscribed with the speed of lightening. Asides that you’ve answered the question I couldn’t find anywhere on google, thank you ! 😂

In this case I find it absolutely necessary to apply all over the hair. Anesthesia creates havac to all of your system. It really creates havac on your hair and even nails and skin. It's so important to flush this out of your system following a surgery as soon as possible. This is something that even your surgeon suggests. Anesthesia can even stay in your system creating havac months later. As a person who has had her share of surgeries, I can attest to this. Not only how it slugs other parts of our body hindering it from easily getting rid of waste and toxins including residual anesthesia, but the extra fallout and shedding I experience, and even the change in texture of my hair. As a result, there are steps that I now take to protect my hair before and after. As this last surgery, an ACDF on my cervical spine, I knew that it would be more than a month before I could even do my hair again, as I'm still not allowed to raise my arms above my head or even drive my car. Therefore extra TLC to my 4C hair was necessary before, and still remains in a protective style, but even so I know that it needs detoxifing of the anesthesia, my daughter helps me keep it moisturized, but it now dries out so quickly, for me a dead give away of the amount of anesthesia still in it. So as soon as I am given the go-ahead by my doctor's, I will be doing your regimen here, but all over everyone one of my strands, followed by intense conditioning. Just thought I'd share this with you and anyone else who it may come as a concern to for thought.
I just returned to using clay, but still love clarifying my low porosity hair. Products work so much better when I clarify over clay washing. Just did a video on clay wash, mixed bentonite and rhassuol clay!
I was holding off on subscribing but today I had to. I love how she uses her channel to educate and doesn't try to stretch out the video for more money from RUclips. What she can't fit is in the description box and I love that
I've been using this for over a year now. i love it for my hair and face mask.
How often do you use it?
I use the clay and love it!!! I have noticed hair growth in the nape area of my head. But I leave it on my head for about a hour is that too long??? I dont experience any dryness because I do wear a plastic cap. But it has changed my life so much that I now seek out clay based shampoos (hawaiian silky has a nice one. waiting to try Carols daughters clay shampoo). I have also noticed that my hair gets very curly after I rinse, another added bonus!!! love your channel.
Paula Smith Honestly if you haven't witnessed any trouble w/ leaving it on that long then you should be good 👍 Question: how often do you use the clay based shampoos or Bentonite clay wash?
Infiniti Williams hi ms williams just saw your reply. so sorry!! I use the clay mask every time I shampoo since I only do wash n go's. so I really need to make sure all of that gel is out. I am so far only using the clay based shampoos. so I really only wash my hair every 2 weeks because I make my hairdos last that long. You have got to try it, your hair will start curling after you wash, and you have no product in it! So you can imagine when you add that gel or curling cream, BEAUTIFUL!!
Paula Smith Haha 😆 I ended up using the clay to clarify my scalp and I was surprised by how clean my scalp was 😥😍 like no product build up and the curls were popping too. I'm going to start incorporating the clay into my wash routine as well. I cleanse weekly. Thank you for the reply!
Infiniti Williams no problem!!! 😊😊😊😊😊
Yes. I love using Bentonite clay! I use it just like that. Thick and creamy with ACV! Love it!
Actually since I have low porosity thick strand hair, I like to use clay just because they have high Ph. I just use water. Nothing acidic. Then I restore my ph by doing an ayurvedic treatment (which are usually acidic) mix with some rice water. And also, I assure that my leave is acidic. So for my leave in I would use a mix that contains aloe juice, hibiscus infusion and okra gel. That routine works great on my hair. But of course, people needs to make their own research and adapted the use based to their own personal hair needs.
I use it regularly for my skin to help clear acne. I used it once in my henna dye, it actually made my hair softer than usual and helped the henna rinse out better.
Thank you so much. Thank you for insisting on using bentonite. I also discovered Greenbeauty thanks to you. I use rhassoul cla as a shampoo for 3 years now. When I mixed it with bentonite and apply it on my hair, after 10 min, I washed it, my hair was like we never ever ever going back again. I saw curls I didn't know I had, it was so clean and moiturised. Awesome. Bentonite, a game changer! THE GAME CHANGER. God bless you! I'm learning to love my hair and it's a beautiful journey. I've been natural for 10 years now but due to sickle cell, I've experienced hair fall, my hair stopped growing, always so fragil. I'm fighting now using bentonite, ayurvedic, collagen...Can't wait to see the result in 6 months.
Thank you for watching and sharing your experience. I’m hoping you get the results you desire with these methods. I love Ayurveda hair care.
Ho yes I have the result and even more. Your deep conditioner is in my freezer ahaha. I love avocado so much my heart can't stand putting fresh one in my hair. I bought the frozen avocado for the recipe and to thaw it, I put it in hibiscus water.
I have used it twice and I love it. I did use it with shampoo but I will try it without next round.
Let me know if you notice a difference.
I love how you educate us ... and you just don't put up any thing on the YT. Thank so much for all the time you put into your videos because of you and many others i have very healthy hair.
I’ve used this on my face a few times already but I’ll be doing it on my hair for the first time this weekend. This was very helpful. Thank you!
I adore the effects of bentonite clay for my skin. My pores nearly disappear and my acne looks and feels less and less like a threat
I looked through a lot of videos on how to properly do this mask and this was the best one. Sweet short and to the point and very informative on where to properly apply and what to do after. Awesome job.
I absolutely love your channel I have Been watching all night. I have been natural for 7 years now. But I never took the time to give it TLC. I always wore it in a protective style( wigs). Anyway.. I found your Chanel and decided I need to start taking care of my 4c hair if I want to ever wear it out. My mother swears by the Jamaican mango lime hair line products. Can you please do a review on some of their products that you think would be beneficial for our 4c hair. Thank you 😊
#notificationsquad Thanks nappy fu! I feel like I learn so much from you. I've been natural 7 years but i just started actually taking care of it 6 months ago and I swear taking your advice (along with other research and youtubers) has transformed my hair. My used to be dry, damaged and ugly but now it looks very similar to yours. You're much appreciated!
I've used both Rhassoul and Bentonite Clay. I prefer the Rhassoul because I have more moisture but Bentonite is more easily accessible and cheaper. I always mix with acv and a little bit of oils I have laying around the house and I also add tea tree oil. Ever since I started using the clay mask my hair has flourished and also NO MORE ITCHY SCALP! Even when I washed with shampoo my scalp would itch so much but with the clay the problem has gone away.
I've never tried any clays but I would like to in the future when I'm out of my TGIN products. 💆🏾💁🏾🙏🏾👍🏾
Great! Keep it up!
Sorry I'm late, been spending the day with the hubby and just waking up from a nap! lol. I've been natural since I did my BC last year (June 2016). I've never used bentonite clay but I've heard MANY great things. I plan on trying it in the near future. Thanks for the info nappyfu! I found your channel a few months into my natural hair journey and I've been hooked ever since!!! Love from north Texas! ❤❤😘😘
I've used a bentonite clay mask for my face but I haven't tried it on my hair yet. A friend gave me enough to do a few face mask but not enough for my hair. It was great for my skin. I'll be trying it on my hair soon. Thanks for the video. Great, as always.
I learned so much from this. Thank you! Your hair and scalp look so healthy 👌🏽
So glad you posted early, got my Sunday morning right. I use bentonite 1 a week or every 2 weeks in a face mask. It is a great skin detox for my oily and acne prone skin. I will never use it in my hair because I don't want it going down the drain, I teach art and clay clogs the drain. It cost over $1k to fix the sink at work the first year I taught ceramics, I'm not about that life.
I Mac
oh wow I never knew that, clay clogs drains?
BlessedByHim ceramic/sculpting clay does and I am not risking it. Although, I have not researched the similarities or differences between facial/body clays.
I Mac That has always been my concern.
My friend told me to try it anyway, at her house. I used the kitchen sink with a couple coffee filters in the drain. Unfortunately, the water went around them, so if I tried it again, I would secure them down in some way.
I looked that up a while ago.....I read that facial clay doesn't clog drains unless used in a excessive amount. As in tons of it on a regular bases. So I definitely was concerned about that too but so far no problems there. I use it like once or twice a month. It possibly clogging drains is something to consider when using this though and then it also depends what type of drain system you have too. So its definitely something one needs to research.
Good point you made.
When I do my face mask, I'm so paranoid plastic lined sink and a paper towel layer. My house is almost 100 yrs old so if the plumbing gets a hint of messed up they would try to get me to re-pipe the whole thing to bring it up to modern standards.
Hi NappyFu. love from Barbados.
i use Bentonite clay....Rhassoul Clay and just recently enjoyed Kaolin Clay. I love all 3. I use clay once a week for 3 weeks then on week 4 shampoo to clarify OR every 2 weeks alternate between shampoo and clay.....depends on how my weeks are organised....
I've found Bentonite a bit drying for my 4c kinks and coils so in recent times I've found combining it with a more moisturizing clay like kaolin to help.
poohkbbear ooo I like how you switch them out (the clay & shampoo) b/c I've heard good things about Bentonite clay and used it a few times before but I want to use it consistently for long term results so I'm gonna try that 😆 the power of reading the comment section 👌
poohkbbear hi i am from barbados too where do you get the clay from i have been searching at all the health stores but cant seem to find it
I use bentonite clay on my face..I love it. I used it on my hair once and I don’t think I did it right, deff using your tips tonight! Today is wash day
I love this clay. When I put it on my face and it started pulsating I was like yessssss get all the junk out Bentonite. Great video
l really missed you on Sunday l look forward to your videos 😀
Thank you Rudo!!!
I use Bentinite twice a month. It works wonders!!!
Thank you for this video! I am thinking about trying bentonite clay for my hair. I needed some info!
You're welcome!!!
Lord... I had no idea that bentonite clay has a PH of 9 wow wee.. thanks for sharing ❤
ACV is gospel! That was an excellent tip on how to make and use. Straight and to the point.
I really love your videos you have so much knowledge and i appreciate you sharing it with the rest of us. Your also realistic and understand that everyone ain't got the money to blow on products from using it too much. But most importantly girl your hilarious lol and i love that you love your hair. I had never used the clay because I just found out about it like 3 weeks ago lol and I've only been natural for about a year. But i may try it. Great video
YEASSSSSS 4c FAMMM
I was very skeptical about using the bentonite clay on my hair I already had been using it for my skin but I said why not. Sis the way my curls popped after that and my D.C. 🙌🏾It's amazing, while I know it's not a clarifier per ur vid I don't see myself clarifying much anymore I like this much better and it's cheap.
fairly new watcher for the last year . Love hearing from you . I have used this clay and love it I'll try it with out shampoo.
Thanks for your being here.
Hey Nappy Fu! I absolutely LOVE your channel. Your personaliand spirit truly shines with each video 😃😃😃. Quick question: How often do you use the Bentonite Clay on your hair?
My hair is very short. Therefore, I don't like to use products that don't go on the ends on my hair. When it grows out a few more inches, I will try it.
As you mentioned skin I noticed that your skin is looking good girl! Thank you for sharing theses tips and I missed your videos. GOD BLESS.
Very informative, like always. I love how you make is educational and funny at the same time lol. i got great results when i tried it on my 4c hair, & i just posted it as my first video on my channel. Bentonite is definitely going to be a staple product for my detox days. Thanks again for such great tips.
I have used Bentonite and Rhassoul clay. I prefer Rhassoul. I love it. Been using it for five years.
NappyFu I've only used it on my face up until this week. I've had amazing results with it on my hair. Talk about defined curlz fo dayz! I just have one question: How often should I do this? Luv your channel and blessings to you.
Napp Fu! I love seeing you all up on my screen! I am a Rhassoul kind of gal but clay washes have always been kind to me. Thanks for another informative video!
Thank you!! I was looking at multiple Aztec Clay videos to make sure I got the best info & way to apply it and I feel so confident to use it now!
I tried it first with water and I love it. It made it easier to deranged my hair. When I used it with ACV it made my dyed red hair orange. Lol. And it was more tangled and dry after ACV. I currently have it on my head right now with water.
Detangle* not deranged. Lol.
Wet, wet, wet, wet, wet lol NappyFu on the remix. When is your album dropping, pls include Q Q Q redew song.
I love the video but the African/Caribbean accent made me a subbie!!! 🤣🤣💁🏽💁🏽
Please clarify: my hair hasn't been washed in 2 weeks. So using the clay on my wet hair be replacing shampooing my hair? If so do I then deep condition afterwards?
About to use it for the first time tomorrow to detoxify my hair, so I had to educate myself with your video. Hope it responds well! 😊
NappyFu, come through with that knowledge backed up by science! I am learning so much from you and my 4c hair is reaping the benefits. Thank you!
Yay, thank you for your help! I purchased some the other day and will opt for this next wash day!
Brilliant, I never considered Ph balancing. I will definitely try this clay ting now.
yes her hair is getting longer you go girl
New sub..came here for this vid..will stay because of the education and very supportive tribe..continued success sis for this and all other endeavors..will share as i learn and practice to help us all on this beautiful natural hair journey..😍
I've used bentonite clay on my hair and my face...I absolutely LOVE the results...I'm glad you cleared up what exactly bentonite clay does for our hair and about not just adding water to it...cuz my sis is allergic to acv so I was just gonna use water for her hair...now I know we'd be better off with aloe Vera juice...thanks as always for these lovely videos
Hey Nappyfu love your videos. I have been using Bentonite Clay since I was a teenager, but only for a face mask (does wonders for the skin). Mom used to give it all the females in the family to use. Yes, we used it with ASV. Let me tell everyone this, the thicker the mask you will fill the pulsation if you will let it completely dry. When you was off do in circular motion with warm water or it will hurt coming off.
Girl, your videos are a WHOLE vibe. Recent subscriber and I Looveee your content 👌🏾
I subscribed to your channel it think in 2016 (can't remember) BUT we got the same hair type so every video you have on your channel has A LOT of significance to me!!! Bentonite Clay made my hair look like a 4a/4b the first time I used it. My hair has never felt so great. You're great. Also your African accent cracks me up; I do my Haitian accent around my friend for the same reason you do..spice it up a bit. :P lol
Thank you! The concept sounds like a messy disaster that would take forever to rinse out, but.... the walkthrough helps. I happen to have some clay already so I will try this.
Right on time. New subby here. I found your channel by searching bentonite clay and you are hilarious. I have 3b/c hair but you are soooo funny I have to watch. Love your humor, beauty and confidence 😊
Thank you for taking the time to make this This was VERY helpful
Was super excited to get this notification !
Hey NappyFu, I love this video, and I love ALL the clays! I'm glad to know you use ACV in your bentonite clay, because that's how I mix mine. I use this mixture on my hair and scalp, and on my face. Thank you, thank you, thank you for letting us know to keep the clay OFF the ends...I did not know that! Thank you for all the informative and entertaining videos!
I enjoy your videos. Love to see you grow and glow. I bought some clay a while ago and have yet to use it. Got to give it a try. You are so informative. Love that. Thanks for sharing.
I use all the clays or at least I used to before starting my new Loc journey. I use Aloe and ACV along with water, an oil or two for my concoction. I like to let my Bentonite clay dry up before I rinse. I never had problems getting them out. I even sell a Rhassoul clay shampoo on my site.
I Tryed the benzonite clay for the first time on my face, hair and as A detox for my body and it works really well will be using it again.
I watched this video so long ago and I'm just now trying the Clay out! Thanks for sharing this video!!
Yes plz we be waiting to ur videos ❤️❤️😅thank you for ur information that ur giving us❤️❤️stay blessed girl...
