- You guys, if this (beep) up my hair, I am leaving.
(upbeat music)
- Hi, my name is Carolina,
and today we're going to be putting
Aztec clay in our hair to revive our curls.
- I've seen this on TikTok and on YouTube a few times.
I have been hesitant to try it
because my hair is super super thick.
I don't know if y'all can tell.
Do y'all see how big my ponytail is?
It's a lot.
- Honestly, my dandruff shampoo,
I know dandruff, Ah!
Everybody relax.
My dandruff shampoo has been stripping my hair
of all of its oils.
And so, my curls have just been really, really dry.
- Girl, they're flat.
When I was growing up,
I used to hate my curly hair.
I went to college and everyone was like, you know,
your hair is so pretty when it's curled.
And I was like, "You think I'm pretty?".
- Honestly, I have been straightening my hair
a lot more than I'd like to admit to.
Not much of a curl pattern.
I am constantly
feeling like I need to trim my ends.
And that is not a good feeling.
So hopefully, this mask will help
eliminate that feeling.
Make me feel moisturized and less brittle.
- I'm super excited to try the mask.
I don't expect it would have bad effects on my hair.
I feel like it'll either sort of do nothing
or be great, hopefully.
- I'm expecting some volume, some bounce.
I'm expecting a little bit more definition.
I've never used a clay mask on my hair before.
I'm actually terrified.
- I'm curious to see how this is gonna work.
And if it does,
I will never buy shampoo again.
- Now we wait for the products to arrive.
(upbeat music)
- I got this bag from Etana
and inside is the calcium bentonite clay.
- Oh, this is a really nice kit.
This is like a spreader to put on your hair.
- They give you a little bowl.
Oh and they provide the bottle of apple cider vinegar.
Oh, I've never noticed the people's faces on the bottle.
They look happy.
- Oh, it came with a tiny brush and spoons.
Oh my God,
I'm going to do a face mask while I do a hair mask.
This is so exciting.
So I guess this is the first part.
But then I also got this box, which I was not expecting.
Oh, Briogeo!
People freaking love this brand.
- I'm going to be using this a deep conditioning mask after,
because I am putting mud in my hair.
- Let's go refresh our curls!
- This is where we start the drama.
The struggle.
Can you guess how many hair ties Shiquita has in her hair?
If you guess it right,
you don't win anything.
- The instructions say
to make sure to start out with dry hair,
which I do.
Take two tablespoons of Aztec healing clay,
and mix it with equal parts of apple cider vinegar.
It doesn't feel like enough to cover my whole head,
but we could start there I guess.
[Carolina] Two tablespoons worth apple cider vinegar.
Equal parts, so one.
Oh, it's fizzing right now, y'all.
- Oh my God. This is triggering my Trypophobia though.
Gross!
Stop looking at it.
Okay. They're gone.
- I'm scared.
Is this it? Just do it.
Evenly distribute.
Root to tip.
I think I'm just gonna use my fingers.
Even though I do like this spatula.
It feels terrible.
You guys, this is gonna be bad.
I'm scared about this now.
What if I can't get this out?
Like I can't rake my fingers through my hair.
I can't like comb this through my curls.
You guys, if this (beep) up my hair,
I am leaving.
To where?
I don't know.
- Oh, it looks like really bad highlights.
Oh it feels so gross.
- Just looks so weird.
- I can make a cool Mohawk probably.
(rock music)
Hell yeah.
Well, if I got nothing else out of it,
I got a cool (beep) Mohawk.
I'm not going to put it here.
Cause my hair isn't curly there.
Okay. 15 to 20 minutes on the clock.
[Shiquita] The directions say to do it on dry hair
'cause it won't dry
if your hair is damp, but I have to detangle my hair.
I have to.
I cannot do anything like this to my hair
without detangling it.
And I can't detangle my hair dry.
It hurts. And it breaks.
So I've been spritzing it
even though the directions say not to.
- All right. People,
my hair and face are now drier than drywall.
I feel like I could snap my hair off.
So uh, I'm I'm-
I'm gonna get in the shower and you won't see me,
but you could hear me.
So just hold on.
Welcome to my shower.
My face feels smooth and beautiful.
So my hair must-
It just, it has to.
Let's wash it off.
- Okay. I decided to do the Aztec Clay Mask.
And I'm sorry I can't move my face
But I feel like it literally gave me
sort of a facial lift.
It gave me like a face down.
And I literally look like a dead person right now.
This is kind of scary.
All right. It's been 15 minutes.
My bangs have parted like the red sea
or the green sea
I guess in this instance,
We're going to go wash it off in the shower.
And then I'm going to do the
deep conditioning Briogeo mask.
- I'm done putting the clay mask in my hair.
It feels super tough.
The mask starting to dry out as a sign
that it's doing its job and
you don't have to leave it in much longer.
- Okay. The conditioner is in my hair.
It feels really lovely.
It smells lovelier.
And I'll see you in 10 minutes when I wash it out.
- My hair feels clean.
I'm still gonna have to do my work
to define my curls.
This is definitely isn't a substitute
for all I normally do
to make my hair presentable.
It looks healthy for the most part.
I guess I'm a little disappointed
that my hair is more frizzy
in places than I expected it to be.
It's definitely not magic.
It's not going to do my hair for me.
I want somebody to do my hair for me.
- It's not as voluminous as I expected it.
I also air dried it by the way.
I didn't do any diffuser.
Look at how cute my curls look!
Hair is still a little frizzy.
A lot of frizzy.
They have their shape.
They are not as defined as
I thought they would be.
A little bouncy.
I think this one has a little bit more
curl and bounce than this one.
Obsessed, not the results that I really expected,
but I'm not disappointed either.
I feel like I still got some really good
definition of my curls, especially my bangs.
I've never seen my bangs look like this before.
Like they're actually curling.
- My hair is soft,
but not much softer than normal.
My curls look pretty good.
They look pretty healthy.
I think they're pretty uniform,
but not like more healthy.
The masks definitely didn't hurt
and they felt good to do,
but I don't think my hair looks miraculously better.
- At the end of the day.
I don't think the clay mask did anything wrong.
Like it doesn't make my hair feel bad.
And that's a good thing.
Especially knowing that the ingredients are
more natural than what I normally use.
I guess I just expected my curls to be a little more defined
already like with the clay mask because you know,
it's a curl reviver.
I think it's more just like a treatment
and I'm going to treat it as such if I do it again.
I have no plans to do this again.
It smelled bad and just added time
onto my getting ready process.
And for me,
maybe it also has to do with
the length of my hair right now.
Like there's not a lot of evidence, you know,
I would recommend this mask to others.
If you have dry curly hair,
that's in need of some moisture,
couldn't hurt!
- I was expecting some volume.
Didn't get it. It's fine.
I think that's just going to have to be a diffuser thing.
Not a huge difference in my opinion,
but I do think the curls have some,
a little bit more definition.
They're very bouncy,
which I really like.
I think it's a great detox tool.
Takes all of the excess oils out,
which I feel like is very important.
This was super fun.
And I am going to be using this clay mask.
I'll probably do it like once a month.
Why not?
I have,
I have the tools now and I just really liked how this looks.
Bye!
