Most recipes require you to leave it own for a least 15 minutes or longer. The maximum hydration method includes clarifying with acv or baking soda, co washing and a clay rinse to thoroughly clean the hair. Sounds good in theory for low porosity hair.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06320666066089665769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-66498063505717464012014-09-14T00:25:43.901+01:002014-09-14T00:25:43.901+01:00Could you use the same experiment to see if it wou...Could you use the same experiment to see if it would remove petroleum products?

Once done I went straight Iinto slathering on coconut oil as a pre poo(don't know if that was affective with silicone on my hair). then I coated my hair with the clay, left it on for 20 minutes and rinsed it out. BAM! coils popped back into form and my hair/scalp was feeling extra conditioned and cleansed.davisjazminnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-33468529743492704902014-03-15T13:23:14.795+00:002014-03-15T13:23:14.795+00:00Thank you so much for these articles!

I've found my hair to be really clean after using, but I also mix mine with acv and aloe Vera. Then again...I add oil to the mix (mustard/olive) so remnants of oil would probably still show up.
