My Henntonite Mix

I finally got around to making my new hair recipe. But before I got started I made my face mask recipe. 

Note: I no longer use baking soda and oatmeal. I found it to be unnecessary for me. I use equal parts Bentonite Clay and Apple Cider Vinegar for my face mask.

I put a small pot to boil with about two cups of water. Once the water boils I add two bags of green tea. I let it cool down. While it's cooling down I start to get everything ready to be mixed in.

I start mixing the Bentonite and Apple Cider Vinegar using a plastic spoon and spatula in a container. Using equal parts of each. If the mix is too thick more ACV can be added and vice versa. I forgot to take a picture of ACV.

*DO NOT use metal spoons or bowls when mixing bentonite. Metal weakens it's properties. Kinda like how kryptonite deprives Superman of his powers. I know it's science fiction but that's the best way I can describe it.*

I then add the green tea and henna to the mix

Next I add 2tbsp of each below

Olive Oil

An emollient that seals and softens hair 

Honey
A humectant helps gives hair a natural shine

Aloe Vera
A super moisturizer for hair, actually absorbs into the hair strand

Castor Oil

Ensures a clean scalp and helps with hair growth

Coconut Oil

Perfect for sealing in moisture

So far I'm liking this mix because I'm killing two birds with one stone. I get to enjoy the benefits of both at the same time. Before I was doing Henna one month and Bentonite the other. Then I would forget which one I did last month.  And I was seriously ready to give up on Henna.

It was the most messy and time consuming for me. I recently did a post about mixing the two and my results.
