3 Great Benefits of Rhassoul Clay on Natural Hair

Rhassoul or ghassoul is a natural mineral clay mined in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. 

Rhassoul is rich in silicon, iron, magnesium, potassium, sodium and lithium.

If a hair recipe calls for rhassoul clay you can use bentonite clay as an alternative. You may find that your particular type of hair reacts better to one clay rather than the other.

Benefits of rhassoul

1. Rhassoul cleans hair gently even if it is already dry.
   
2. Rhassoul nourishes and conditions hair; it is richer in minerals and nutrients than bentonite clay.
3. As rhassoul can help to balance sebum production and to regenerate skin consider using the rhassoul clay hair mask to help treat scalp conditions such as dryness, itchiness, dandruff and even psoriasis.

Don’t store or mix rhassoul in a metal dish as its effectiveness may be reduced. Use glass or plastic. Importantly, note that clays can dry hair out so don’t use clays too frequently; once every four to six weeks should be enough to enjoy the benefits.
