Hair Wash with Multani Mitti/ Fuller's Earth

You must be familiar with Multani Mitti or Fuller's Earth. This is one of the oldest ingredients used in herbal beauty products in India. Once in your lifetime, you must have used it as a face pack. Have you ever heard of using Multani Mitti to wash your hair? If no, then today I am going to share how we can use this bliss of nature for your hair. 

Benefits of Multani Mitti/Fuller's Earth: 

Multani Mitti or Fuller's Earth is clay used in ancient Ayurveda. This is the cheapest and safest ingredient to be used. It can be used in face packs, hair packs, to cure pitta dosha, etc. 

• It gives a cooling effect to your body.
• Multani mitti balances the PH of your body and doesn't dry up the skin.
• It clears all the impurities from the upper layer of the skin and the roots of the hair.
• A bath with Multani mitti gives a refreshing effect.
• Multani mitti hair pack also straightens the hair to a bit.
• This is 100% natural and chemical-free.

Hair Wash with Multani Mitti: 

If you have dry, dull and thin hair then you must try washing your hair with Multani mitti instead of using shampoos. Shampoos are nothing but a synthetic formula full of chemicals. The dangerous chemicals like SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulphate) which is a foaming agent used in shampoos is known to strip the natural oils or skin which can cause dry skin, irritation and reactions, it can also be very irritating on the eyes.

The SLS was originally developed for the laundry industry. Yes, really. The Sulphate that is found in so many shampoos was actually developed to wash your clothes. Unfortunately, you are giving a harsh wash to your hair and body. 

These chemicals don't just lift away dirt, but also strips away the delicate layers of natural moisturizers(created by your body's own sebum) that protect, and keep your hair and skin healthy. And as a result, you end up using more chemicals (here, I am talking about hair conditioners) to give a shield of artificial moisturizers to your hair. 

Once you stop using shampoo and start washing hair with Multani Mitti/Fuller's Earth, this natural clay will bring back the natural shine of your hair as it doesn't strip the natural oil from your skin and hair. Washing hair twice a week with Multani mitti will give a volume and texture to your hair.
