The use of clay in cosmetics has a thousand years old tradition.
Ancient Egyptians used it; then, throughout centuries, it became a recurring ingredient in beauty care. Later on it was put apart by the development of super-advertised and modern chemical products, and started to be considered “old hat”.
Thanks to its therapeutic virtues, clay has made a comeback with the rediscovery of natural products. Actually it’s recommended by beauticians for the care of seborrhoeic skin and greasy hair.
In particular, it’s used for hair care, like in the case of eastern and African women, who used clay (rassoul or ghassu) as a shampoo.
If you have greasy hair, try to use clay instead of shampoo:
Mix 2 spoons of clay powder in 4 spoons of tepid water till obtaining a liquid compound to rub on your hair with tepid water. Massage your hair and let it act for 20 minutes. Then rinse with tepid water.
