How to Revive Natural Hair with Bentonite Clay
March 22, 2021
Bentonite clay is a natural ingredient that is sourced directly from the earth. It has a negative charge (anionic.) It attracts positive charged (cationic) products that build up on the hair and scalp, working as a clarifier and detoxifier. Think about bentonite clay like a magnet for product buildup. When you wash the clay out of your hair, you remove all impurities and buildup with it. Its anionic property also makes bentonite clay effective at drawing out toxins, heavy metals, chemicals, and impurities. Find out what else bentonite clay can do, and how to use it on your hair!

Just as important as washing your natural hair, you also need to deep condition your natural hair! It’s a needed step to maintain healthy, moisturized hair or to nurse any damaged hair back to health. Every deep conditioner comes with a specific goal for your hair.

How Often Should I Wash My Natural Hair?
March 09, 2021
A hot button question for all NaturAllistas is, how often should I be washing my hair? For many years we were told that people with our hair textures don’t need to wash their hair often and this is partially true.

However, this is the exact opposite reason why we should not wash our hair too often. The textures of natural hair, whether you are 3b or 4c, are especially prone to breakage, split...
