Shower Like a Caveman: Paleo Healing Clay for Hair

paleo hair care The paleo movement has long since expanded beyond it's humble origins as a diet fad, becoming an entire lifestyle that embraces the eating habits, activities and wisdom of our cave-dwelling ancestors. Put most plainly, adherents of the paleo movement avoid any overly-processed foods or products that a paleolithic person wouldn't have access to. You can bet that our ancestors weren't dousing their heads with chemically-laden shampoos when they showered. But one thing they did have access to is clay.

Paleo Healing Clay for Hair

We're big proponents of clay, so big that we put clay in all our shampoos. The clay we're talking about is Bentonite. For centuries, bentonite has been used for healing, body detoxification and disease prevention. When used topically this natural clay works as a great alternative to clarifying shampoos that can strip hair of its natural oils, leaving it dry and damage. Bentonite works by drawing out dirt and impurities from the hair and scalp. Here are just some of the benefits:
  • Detoxification: Bentonite clay is highly absorbent. It pulls away chemicals deposited by the environment but leaves in essential moisture and oils, making it perfect for those wanting soft, supple strands.
  • Moisturizing and Conditioning: Frizziness and breakage is often caused by poor conditioning. Bentonite restore's hair luster and adds moisture to get rid of those tangled ends.
  • Beneficial MineralsThis nutrient-rich clay takes out the bad and puts in the good. Bentonite contains essential minerals that are beneficial to hair growth and strength, including magnesium, silica and potassium.

To give your hair a clay-powered boost, use our Zen Detox Clay Mask, rich with paleo healing clays.
