My Experience
I decided to use this neem oil with bentonite clay as a hair treatment intended to detox my hair and scalp while the neem helped nourish my dry scalp at the same time. I first mixed up the clay with water, then I added the neem oil and some frankincense essential oil to mask the smell.



As I let the mixture sit, I washed my scalp (not the length of my hair) and then applied the mixture onto my hair and scalp in 4 separate sections to make it easier. P.s.-this is messy!


I let the mixture sit for about 30 minutes, rinsed very well, then deep conditioned my hair since bentonite clay can leave curly hair feeling a little dry.

My Experience
The neem oil was a great addition to my bentonite clay detox. It helped to make my hair softer than usual and helped to nourish my dry scalp without irritating it. My scalp has been looking much better; it's not as dry and flaky, and it actually looks good after several days. This neem oil has definitely helped to improve my scalps health and appearance with added softness.


I received this item at a discount in exchange for my own, honest review.
