Ayilo/Shile/Kaolin Clay For Your Hair

By
What is Kaolin clay? Omg! yes, Ayilo/shile for your hair!

You should have seen my face when I made this discovery a few days ago about Ayilo or Shile which is actually kaolin clay!  Some call it white clay.


This clay is the most gentle among clays. It helps clean scalp without drying. It calms inflammation and helps moisturize dry, brittle hair. It improves circulation in the scalp and removes dirt and impurities from the hair follicles which helps strengthens the roots. (source:

It's the type of clay pregnant women  love to eat and we on the healthy hair journey have been missing out on this.
When I was wondering how to get bentonite or rhassoul Clay, I decided to see if we had other clays in Ghana that could be used so I save cash.  It turned out that the kaolin clay is indigenous to us in Ghana.

How To Use:

*Mix a wash by adding warm water to one to three tablespoons of kaolin, depending upon your hair length. The mixture should make a runny paste. Apply to your hair and let stand for one to two minutes before rinsing it out in clean, warm water.
  • Use a strong brew of your favorite herbs or tea instead of water to add some stimulating properties and antioxidants to your rinse.
* Use can create a pre shampoo mask with the clay. Ultimately, you won't shampoo the jair once you use clay mask. You can mix the clay with lemon juice or apple cider vinegar and apply to the hair. Leave for about 5 minutes and rinse off and then condition the hair.

Relaxer Day Steps

The longer your hair gets, the more you ought to protect the older parts because they tend to thin out so easily and break off more. The first step is fortifying the hair. Fortunately, new technology has allowed us to have a mirad of choices especially for bond menders. Olaplex No. 0 or No. 3 and Creme of Nature have great bond menders can be applied along with your Vaseline to buffer the hair against relaxer run off. Secondly, the relaxer application itself can make or break your effort. I've had several complaints about thin hair and for the most part, it has to do with the hair dresser using fine tooth comb to pass the relaxer through the hair. This moment is extremely crucial if you want thicker relaxed hair. Know your hair texture before you allow them to use that comb. Personally, when they pass the relaxer through the hair and comb through, I make them rinse off immediately. I DON'T sit and wait again for the cream to process. My hair becomes straight enough!

I used the creme of nature plex bond mender to prepoo the hair and I experienced little shedding afterwards. I shampooed with African pride 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner, rinsed and applied the rice wster Revitalising rinse for 5 minutes.

To dry the hair, I use flexi rods after applying Kinks and Straight hair moisturizer and Jamaican black castor oil. For the next wash, I'll do Moringa tea rinse. Stay tuned for how it is done!

Reasons Why Your Hair Is Shedding

Shedding is a major concern for everyone. Getting the length you desire can be a daunting task and to lose the length  you've worked  to achieve is equally too painful to bear. What I've noticed is people fail to understand the link between your general health and the health of your hair. What you put into your body affects your whole body, including your hair! Shedding doesn't happen overnight - your hair will give you signs that something is wrong; we don't pay attention until it gets worse! 1. Postpartum shedding: I get this complains a lot and get surprised that though ladies are aware of how having a baby affects your hair, it seems reading about it isn't part of the solution we want. The first thing I urge people to do is to Google their problems. When you have a fair idea of what you are experiencing, you are able to either decide on taking the medical route or self - care route. There are situations that merit a visit to the Doctor's office and if you do
