If you are into down to earth, simple, and honest ingredients for your hair routine, this post is for you. Rhassoul clay hair wash works very well as a co-wash to extend the period between hair washes or a standalone zero waste shampoo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using clay might also be a good addition if you are transitioning from an industrially made SLS based, powerful shampoo to a less harsh shampoo or a no-poo regimen. Clay will absorb excess oil and make the transition easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rhassoul clay is a traditional natural skin and hair goody, used in beauty rituals for centuries. You can also find it under names like Moroccan red clay or ghassoul clay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is naturally occurring in the Atlas mountains in Marrocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. The area is rich in minerals, rare animal species, and precious plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is extracted in brown chunks, but after drying and refinement it has a brown-gray color and it’s a really fine powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
