Set aside your oils either in the fridge or at room temperature for about 30 minutes until your mixture has completely cooled.
Add the bentonite clay, vitamin e and any essential oils. Use an immersion blender for a couple minutes to ensure that the clay is thoroughly mixed into your hair mask

How to apply hair masks
This hair mask is designed as a pre-shampoo intensive conditioning treatment to moisturise and seal your hair. You can apply this hair mask to dry or damp hair depending on your preference.

Applying to damp hair, gently work the hair mask through your strands from root to tip. This is a thick treatment, so sectioning is advised to make sure that your whole head is evenly coated. You can leave this mask on for anywhere from 20 minutes to overnight. I typically recommend 1 hour to give enough time for the mask to sink into your hair. Use as much as you need in order to coat each and every hair strand!
