I haven’t used shampoo for a year – I wash my hair with clay and now I lose less
A curly-haired sorceress was about to reveal her secret to luscious locks from the bag.
And she was no simple shampoo-using mane master.

“I haven’t used shampoo or conditioner in over a year now and last time I mentioned I had a lot of questions so I’m going to show you my hair care routine,” said Logan Barbosa (@thisiswildhomestead).
She didn’t need regular hair products when she could use her more powerful potion.
“I wash my hair about every seven to 10 days and I use rhassoul clay mixed with water to form a hair mask and I use that instead of shampoo,” she said.
She made sure to use between a teaspoon and a tablespoon of her favorite clay.
For others who want to try her unconventional technique: rhassoul clay from Essential Organics sells for $8.50.
The clay, which can also be used in soaps and skin products, is described as offering a higher percentage of silica and magnesium than other clays.
Studies have also shown that it can reduce dryness and flaking.
She also discovered that she could live without conditioner.
“I used apple cider vinegar mixed with water,” she said.
Her concoction called for one part apple cider vinegar and five parts water — and voila, her mask was ready to use.
After rinsing her hair with water in the shower, Logan rubbed her DIY mask into her scalp.
“That’s usually the dirtiest part of any hair wash day,” she said.
She was also grateful that she no longer had to deal with toxic ingredients.
Logan then used a scalp massager to loosen any oils and leftover dirt before leaving it all in her hair for about ten minutes.
Before stepping out of the shower, she grabbed her jar of apple cider vinegar and added warm water, which she then used as a rinse on her hair.

She left that on before brushing her hair – and she never went back to basics.
Logan now showed off her extra curly and shiny locks.
“After over a year of not using shampoo or conditioner, this is what I notice: curlier hair, more defined and voluminous. My hair feels alive,” she said.
She also loved the mix because it made her locks less fall out.
“I lose a lot less hair. When I used traditional hair soaps, I would easily lose a handful of hair every time I showered, now it’s much less,” she said.

Her fans also seemed intrigued by her mask mix.
“This is so interesting,” said one follower.
She even shared an extra tip for days with super dry hair: making an aloe vera gel.
Logan also saved a lot of time on her hair care routine.
“I don’t pay tons of money for hair products, but instead spend maybe $30 a year on everything I use,” she said.
