Basic Recipe for Hair Use:
Adding Kaolin Clay into hair-styling products such as, The Earth Element Conditioner Base or The Earth Element Herbal Conditioner, can benefit your hair by preventing breakage and controlling dandruff. This is helpful, especially if you have an oily scalp. Your hair has natural oils that keep your scalp and your hair healthy. When these oils are stripped, your hair becomes dry and brittle, The Earth Element Kaolin Clay is the perfect choice to use with because it does not affect your hair’s natural oils.

Alternatively, just use the basic recipe for skin and applied directly onto the scalp, after three minutes, wash and dry the hair.
