Meaning ❉ Mineral Clay Cleansing offers textured hair a path to gentle purification. This method employs natural, earth-derived clays, such as bentonite or rhassoul, to clarify the scalp and strands without harsh stripping. For coils and kinks, especially those of Black and mixed heritage, this practice honors the hair’s unique structure by preserving essential natural oils vital for moisture balance and curl definition. This approach fits into a systematic hair care rhythm, acting as a crucial clarifying step within a well-ordered routine. It supports consistent scalp health and promotes an environment conducive to hair well-being, aiding in the reduction of product accumulation. Applying this knowledge involves preparing a smooth paste with filtered water or a botanical infusion, distributing it evenly through damp hair, allowing a brief rest, then rinsing thoroughly to reveal clean, receptive strands. This considered process respects the hair’s delicate needs, connecting modern care with traditional cleansing practices.
