Many naturalistas wonder if those same benefits can be seen when using a mud mask on their strands. Well, let’s find out if this is a good idea for the life of your curls!
Should I put a mud mask in my hair?
The answer to the question really depends on what you mean by mudmask. The first thing to make clear is that you shouldn’t use a face mask product on your hair unless it is specified as being for both skin and hair. This can lead to dryness you certainly don’t want for your curls. The other matter is to look at ingredients. Many “muds” are a bunch of non-natural ingredients with just a small percentage of those ingredients being actual healthy “muds” and the rest is synthetic filler. To get the most out of a hair mudmask, you need to check the ingredients!
Typically, the first ingredient listed is the main ingredient. If the first ingredient is listed as anything other than the type of mud it claims, find a different product. Of course, you can also easily whip up a mudmask for your hair at home which is a great way to make sure you get the ingredients you seek. If your hair is already on the dry side, you may want to skip this type of hair mask. If you are dealing with buildup and want a supercharged cleaning, a mud mask is a great way to go.
What types of muds are best?
You want to be wary of anything that says mud mask without some other kind of indication of what kind of mud it is. The two most common and useful are bentonite clay and dead sea mud.
