Bentonite Clay Mud Wash with MissT1806

For some curlies, regular shampoos and sulfate-free shampoos are equally drying. Adding a mud wash into your rotation of co-washing and ACV rinses creates a regimen full of various cleansing alternatives. Tina from MissT1806 teaches us how to create your own scalp soothing mud wash with just a few ingredients from her pantry.

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup aloe vera juice
• 2 Tbsp bentonite clay
• 1 Tbsp coconut oil
• 1 Tbsp honey
• Tea tree oil
• Lavender oil
• Water

Tools

• Spray bottle

Directions

1. Mix the bentonite clay, coconut oil, and honey in a bowl.
