I got this to use in combination with green clay, Argan oil, honey, lemon juice, green tea and essential oil, for my hair and face. I have been using it for the last few weeks, once a week and my hair is silky, shiny and soft and my skin looks really good. I'm not going to go back to shampoo and conditioner (unless I have no choice) and I stopped purchasing expensive creams for my face. The difference is that instead of washing out the clay immediately as one would do with a shampoo and conditioner, I leave it for an hour or more.
The warning is, that if used on a hair that has been chemically dyed, it will strip out the dye as it cleans very well. One can use, natural dyes, like henna and the colour won't be removed.

My hair is curly mostly dry and tends to break easily, however there is a patch at the back of my head which is quite greasy, and I struggles to keep it oil free with co-washing. After reading over and over again how good Rhassoul is for hair and skin, I decided to give it a go and bought this. The first time I washed my hair I didn't know what I was doing, I mixed it up with milk and water and oils, but it came out not really great, I was sourly disappointed. Then I decided to read a little more about it, and prepared a mud a little more acidic, by adding apple cider vinegar to the mixture instead of water and milk, and teaspoon of coconut oil to make it less drying and some essential oils to boost it all. I let it on my hair for about 30 minutes and then rinsed. Ended the treatment with a apple cider vinegar rinse. My hair was fantastic: it...
