what does this do?

Bentonite clay has been scientifically proven to draw toxic material out of the body if taken internally.

When mixed with water, bentonite swells up (this is imperceptible to the naked eye) and becomes very porous. The electrical and molecular components change and produce an electrical charge. It's highest power lies in the ability to absorb toxins, impurities, heavy metals and other internal contaminants.

Bentonite is a sedimentary clay from volcanic ash. It is an effective and cleansing clay if used externally as a face mask and can be found in many hight street beauty products, in the bath or externally as a clay poultice. Internally it is added to water or glazed upon food to help those with sensitive palates.

Bentonite draws toxins from the digestive system and intestinal tract and is used in many high street over the counter medicines. Such applications include industrial protective creams, calamine lotion, wet compresses, and antiirritants for eczema. In medicine, bentonite is used as an antidote in heavy metal poisoning due to its ability to absorb heavy metals and toxins.

@ Gamine
I found out shea butter actually makes my hair really hard
not sure if its because its the first growth of nappy hair
I read on one akata forum that the first nappy hair growth after transitioning is often resilient
and girl my hair gives me serious headache can you believe that?
and to think Ive always had really soft and manaegable natural hair before the perm.

so what mindset do you think I have about manageable nappy hair
I just realy want it to remain soft not oily and heavy you get what I mean.
I guess have some reading to do lemmi peruse this thread again
thanks doll!

@browncocos: hmmmn. i certainly can imagine your mindset cos your hair is definitly one of d first tins dt makes an impression. ,  i dnt tink u shud use shea butter 4 natural hair. at least, not if its already disvirgned or 2nd growth of natural hair. ,  i dnt tink your hair will absorb it well. pele. am sure d akata forum was referring to dia own nappy hair wich defintly isnt same wit ours. our own na kinky. dia own na nappy. go figure! lol. mayb u shud try dia shampoos n leave-in conditioners 4 natural hair and am sure if u check hair products, u wud find somfin non-greasy, light n gud 4 your hair. wud let u knw if i find any. cheers gal :

@Gamine: madam, calm down. lol. i didnt exactly say shea butter is bad 4 her hair but if u read her post again, u wud see wia she said it makes her 'hair really hard' to quote her so i was just considering possible cause. plus her hair is natural wich means kinky or 'nappy' if u wanna be Behind. lol. but fact is, mine is relaxed so i can afford to apply shea butter. see? but since we aint callin our hair any names, then shea butter it is

Welcome Dorammy,

Welcome Dorammy, 

I would advice you to use cocoa butter for the stretch mark, it really works, although it might take a little while before you start seeing results, but I can assure you that it works. Just use dilligently, morning and night, and after a while, you'll notice a great difference.

Secondly, you could also try shea butter, I think that works really well too.

nanidee:

lol, just keep using it, and in the end, I am sure you will smile.

Dorammy:

yea, thanks.

should i also use it on my face? kindly advice on the best/suitable face cream to use. thanks

hmm, as for what's suitable for the face, I'd suggest you go through this thread, I myself learnt a thing or 2 from the thread, or better still, lets wait for the beauty experts

Btw, i guess shea butter is really good for the skin, so i think you can use it on your face too. But there has also been nice suggestions for face creams on this thread, just read through, I am sure you'll get something.
