Rhassoul: Mocha Coco Double Loco

hennasooq.com

A few weeks ago I did a rhassoul clay treatment. I was very, very happy with it, however, my hair felt weird after. My strands were strong, and yet they felt coated. I was unsure if it left my hair moisturized or not. This was the first time I couldn't tell what had gone wrong ( or right), and what I needed to do next; Did I need to do a moisturizing deep conditioner? Did I need an ACV?

The first clay treatment I did was from the on hennasooq.com   website ( on the organic rhasooul clay powder page under the more info tab). A friend had done it  and loved her results, and fortunately  she shared it with me ♥

 Recipe first time around:

1 Tbs Honey

2 Tbs Rhassoul

1 Tbs Marshmallow Root

1 Tbs Dutch Cocao Powder

1 Cup Coconut Milk

2nd recipe today:

2Tbs Cocoveda Oil

2 Tbs Rhassoul

2 Tbs Marshmallow Root

2 Tbs Dutch Cocao Powder

1 Cup Coconut Milk

****Summer 2012 Updated Recipe ****

2Tbs Cocoveda Oil
2Tbs Raw Honey

1 Tbs Rhassoul

2 Tbs Marshmallow Root

2 Tbs Dutch Cocao Powder

1 Cup Coconut Milk

I forgot to add  the honey  this time around because I did not have the internet to look up the recipe again  so I mixed it from  memory-pretty good huh?  This time around I included a moisturizing deep conditioner and an  ACV afterwards and my results were just FaBuLouS! 

 This mix was VERY VERY  thick. The addition of oils was a treat, as it made the mixture more silky. Adding honey next time will make it more moisturizing too ( my gosh, how did I forget this)? It was exactly enough to coat all of my strands, and I think I liked it  this way! It smelled so divine with the cocoveda oil, coconut milk and cocoa powder.

The first time I suspected I needed just a bit  more moisture and modification of the mixture, so I 'chatted' in real time ( what a plus)  with Vanessa ( what a darling) from hennasooq via their homepage. She suggested that I half the rhassoul as it can be drying- this way the cocoa powder and marshmallow powders could moisturize better. I still wanted the strength of the rhassoul with  just a bit more moisture, so I  doubled these two moisturizing powders instead, making all the powders 2 Tbs. With this mixture I get both strength and moisture. I will still play around with this mixture and  also use the suggested ratio by Vanessa. It's all about tweaking and catering to the needs of your own hair, right?  Well  I just love doing these kinds of ayurvedic hair treatments (treats  )!  I mean, I would do one every other day if it made sense but that might be a little too much, ya think!

Have you ever done a treatment that was just so awesome that you just KNEW  your hair was going to thrive? Well this rhassoul mixture was definitely THAT for me today....I'm on                                     
I call this my Rhassoul Mocha Coco Double loco because it obviously contains Rhassoul,  chocolate and coconut,  doubling the benefits of  both strength and moisture. Don't forget to get yours today, Really!
