Mud masques/treatments: Mud is a safe and natural way to get rid of toxins from your scalp and curls. Consider your curl type before selecting the weight of the masque you need. If you have dryer hair, avoid Rhassoul clay, which can further dry curls. However, if your curls need some extra TLC and moisturizing, Rhassoul is the way to go. Bentonite clay is better for those with oily curls.
