Clay actively participates in metabolism and with its help, hair begins to grow faster and curls become more voluminous. But in order to achieve the desired result and generally get what you need, you need to use clay correctly and skillfully apply it.

Despite the fact that clay itself is a natural raw material, in fact, it acts as a medicine for the hair and scalp, and excessive or improper use of drugs gives a negative result, the same can happen with clay if it is used ineptly. So before you treat your hair with clay, read on for a few tips that will help you get the results you want.

How to apply clay to hair

1. You already know which color of clay is suitable for a certain hair problem, now you just need to purchase the appropriate type. You should buy clay at a pharmacy or professional cosmetics store.

2. To prepare a clay mask, you can use boiled, filtered or mineral water without gas, preferably at room temperature or warm. There are no exact proportions (as a rule, it needs to be diluted in a 1:1 ratio), you need to mix it with water until you get a paste that is convenient to apply. The consistency of the resulting mask should be similar to sour cream; if liquid ingredients (oils, herbal infusions) are then added to the recipe, it is initially better to make the mass thicker, and then dilute it to the desired state using additional ingredients.

3. Clay usually does not cause allergies, but other components of the mask may, so a sensitivity test should be performed before use. The clay mixture is applied to the elbow from the inside and left for 15 minutes. Then the mask should be washed off and observed for an hour, if there are no adverse reactions, then the composition is suitable for the skin and can be applied to the head and hair.

4. The head should be clean and already slightly dried, but not wet. The mask is applied to the scalp and hair along the entire length. Then the head is tied with polyethylene, and a towel is put on top. The clay composition is kept for 20 to 30 minutes; if left for a longer period, then the rock will be very difficult to wash off. Do not forget that the clay hardens very well and in this state it is very difficult to remove it from any surface, even from hair.

5. It’s better to wash off the mask without shampoo, and if that doesn’t work, apply a little of it and then rinse thoroughly with water. After shampoo, it is recommended to rinse your hair with herbal infusion (for dry types) or lemon solution (for oily types). You need to dry your hair naturally.

6. For oily hair, clay masks should be used 2 times a week; for the treatment of skin diseases (psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, dandruff) you need to use masks in courses 2-3 times a week; For dry split ends and dry scalp, clay hair masks are used once a week.

7. For many who have not used clay before, the first impression is usually not very pleasant and that is why reviews of a clay hair mask are so contradictory. Of course, clay is not at all like a kefir or egg mask. Kefir, which is pleasant and light in composition, is much easier to apply and hold on your head, but the results from clay procedures are worth the patience. In principle, clay with water is nothing more than mud, only in this case it is healing. It is better to immediately prepare yourself for the fact that clay is far from the most pleasant hair product, but when used correctly, such masks will give positive results.

In place of former seas, rivers and lakes, new layers of rocks and deposits are formed over time, and clays occupy a large place among them. There is a wide variety of clay formations, but a large place in cosmetology has been occupied by clay, which is very unusual in its properties - blue.

Why was she called that? And all because in its composition you can find particles of the most ancient organisms that once existed on Earth, and from the influence of external factors, such as wind or flood, they were transformed, that is, their chemical composition changed, and as a result the color of the clay became blue.

It contains a lot of useful minerals and polymer compounds for the whole body - so unique that there is simply no other similarity.

What is its use

The clay is rocky in appearance and can easily become dusty with a slight wind. Its structure is crystalline, but when moisture enters, its structure changes, it turns into a plastic and elastic mineral. Therefore, it is recognized as the best absorbent that can absorb many pathogenic bacteria, harmful gases, and toxic substances.

Many have already rated blue clay as the best antiseptic natural mineral, since the silicon in its composition has a soft magnetic charge. It is not able to change its natural properties either in an alkaline or acidic environment - it remains unchanged.

The chemical and mineral composition is unique; it contains particles of silicon, iron, copper, magnesium, potassium, almost the entire well-known composition of minerals.

Due to the saturation of clay with almost all useful minerals and chemical compounds, it has a beneficial effect on the prevention of scalp skin diseases and restores the natural balance of organic substances in the hair.

Blue clay must be diluted with a decoction of chamomile or nettle until a creamy mass is obtained, and then apple cider vinegar must be added to it. The mixture is applied along the entire length of the hair, creating a greenhouse effect (shower cap + terry towel), and after 40 minutes the mask is washed off the curls with warm water.

Rules for applying blue clay to the skin of the face and hair

In order for the clay to be easily distributed on the face, you must first wet your hands in cool water. And in order for it to be easily distributed on the hair, you need to wash your hair before applying it, and apply the clay itself until the hair is dry. Blue clay will not stick to dry hair and will roll into clumps.

To prepare masks, it is best to use ceramic dishes. It does not absorb beneficial substances from clay and does not emit harmful ones.

It is necessary to make masks for both the face and hair from blue clay regularly (1-2 times a week), otherwise you will not achieve any effect from them.
