Another wonder from Morocco, Rhassoul clay has been used for over 12 centuries and is rich is magnesium, silica, potassium and calcium. It is used to clean hair and skin, help regulate sebum imbalances, and it also fights hair flakes while leaving your hair soft and shiny. This Rhassoul clay hair mask is definitely one of my favorite secret beauty recipes from north Africa!
Rhassoul clay is harvested from the Atlas mountains of Morocco and also goes by Ghassoul clay red clay and red Moroccan clay. It is similar to another common beauty clay, Bentonite clay, but has an even higher mineral content. This makes it especially good for the skin and Rhassoul clay is often used to reduce blackheads, acne and skin irritation. It’s also been shown to improve skin elasticity and overall texture. On hair, it also improves elasticity – this means less breakage! The mineral content also strengthens the hair shaft. What’s not to love!
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons of Rhassoul clay
- 1 tablespoon of liquid honey
- ½ freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons of warm not hot water
Instructions
- Mix honey, lemon juice and warm water first then add to the Rhassoul clay in a ceramic or glass bowl until it forms a thick and smooth paste.
- Apply on wet hair and massage your scalp and hair thoroughly and let the mask sit for 10 minutes. Rinse well.
- Shampoo if necessary.
- Rhassoul clay can dry hair; to protect your hair, I suggest using a little bit of olive or jojoba oil on the ends before you apply the mask.
