In this video, I'm going to use the information we gathered from the last video to make a great clay recipe that enhances the benefits for your hair and your scalp. Then I'm going to give you some pointers on how to use it. Here's everything you'll need. To take advantage of all the benefits we covered in the last video, use all three clays. Ben tonight for its strong abilities to remove positive charge toxins from your hair and most importantly your scalp and its high absorption rate which gets rid of oily product builda. Brasul clay for its high variety and diversity of minerals and kill and clay for its strong ability to remove negative charge toxins like chlorine, arsenic and fluoride from your hair and scalp. Each of these clays have something that makes it special and unique so with the right mix you can take advantage of all their benefits. Now for the liquid pH plays a major role in how your clays behave. For instance, a low pH will decrease the negative charge of the bentonite and rassul clays and boost the positive charge of the kale and clay. And a higher pH will increase the negative charge of the bentonite and rassul and decrease the positive charge of the kale and clay. So what we should be shooting for is a final mixture with the pH between 5 and 6. Bentonite clay has a very very strong negative charge. Brasul clay is a close second so mixing them with the liquid that slightly acidic will not reduce their effectiveness by much. While with kale and clay, its positive charge is small but a lot more than bentonite and rassul's positive charge. So it's important to preserve it and not mix it in a liquid that's too alkaline. That will take away the little positive charge it has. So basically you can afford to lose some of the negative charge from the bentonite and rassul but you can't afford to lose any of the positive charge of the kale and clay. That's why a pH between 5 and 6 is perfect for this mixture of clays. Okay here's how to mix it. Make sure you use a non-metal bowl and mixing tool because if the clay comes in contact with a metal it will begin to adsorb and absorb the heavy metal particles. This will weaken the power of the clay by the time we're ready to use it. We don't want that because we want it to take away heavy metals from our hair and not from a random bowl. Mix half a cup of rassul clay, a third cup of bentonite clay, a fourth cup of kale and clay with about one cup of distilled water and three tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. Mix it all together as well as you can. Fun fact! The cooler the liquid the harder it is to mix with clay so try using a room temperature liquid instead. You may still notice some clumps because it takes some time for the clay to fully saturate with the liquid due to air pockets. So let us sit for about an hour or so so it can settle in. Then mix it again. That should be enough to get a smooth creamy consistency. After the liquid and clays are mixed add an organic oil and essential oil of your choice. These are the measurements I use in my hair's length and density. If it's too much for you you can cut them down by half. Or if you need more you can double each item. Water is evaporating out as we speak so cover it up with something to preserve its moisture until you're ready to use it. So from the knowledge we gathered in the apple cider vinegar series and from this clay series so far we know that apple cider vinegar with the mother has tons of good bacteria and yeast in it. So when you mix it with activated clay most of us will picture this. The clay is zapping and killing all the good bacteria inside. But that's not how things generally work in nature. Instead the collision is chaotic, unorganized and gradual. When you put this into your hair the bacteria and toxins in your hair and scalp join the chaos. The power of the clay will still do a good job at removing toxins and killing a good number of bacteria. And some good bacteria from the apple cider vinegar will still survive and remain in your hair. On an atomic level it's a messy dance that will always end with your hair and scalp benefit. Using clay on your natural hair is pretty straight forward. I like to use it on my hair when it's damp and flexible but it's not required you can also use it on dry hair. Also doing it on detangled hair makes it a lot easier to apply but also not required. I like to start with my scalp and massage it in because it's antibacterial, detoxifying and product build up removal abilities are really important for your scalp. So I want to make sure I focus some time here and make sure it's fully coated. After that I coat my hair strands and quickly put it up into a loose bun before it dries in hardens. Now some people like to put on a shower cap and some people don't. Both are not wrong. It depends more on what you're looking for. If you don't have much product build up on your hair and you don't need the clay to dry up and absorb it then you can wear a shower cap. If you want it to absorb more oils then leave it off so the clay can dry up and harden. If you have clay left over do yourself a favor and coat your face and neck with it. If you don't use clay's often on your hair and you're looking to get more of a clarifying effect you can let us sit for about 20 to 30 minutes. If you use them often or you don't have a lot of product build up on your hair 5 to 10 minutes will do. After rinsing it out you have a few options. You can stop here. Just make sure you lightly coat your hair with an organic oil to keep it lubricated. You can use a conditioner, you can do a herbal hot oil treatment or you can do a real protein treatment. One last thing. You can consume clay's for a whole bunch of health benefits. Just make sure the label says it's safe to consume.
