Bentonite clay: who has used it and will it loosen my curl?
If you have used this clay and still are how much has it loosened your curl pattern if at all? Have you used Rhassoul(Ghassoul) or Sahara and how do they compare? I have used the Bentonite clay on my face and it has worked wonders. My face is smooth and clear, and my eczema is nonexistent on my face whereas before the use of BC it was horrible with dry flaky skin. I'm not ready to use it on my hair yet until I have more info and instruction from those who use it frequently. What has it done for your curl pattern? How long would I leave it in my hair? I would like to leave it in for at least three hours with a plastic cap. What moisturizers would be best for hair that is dry and thin? The product(s) has to be all natural. I'm a 4c curl type. With BC can I go from a 4c curl pattern to maybe a 3c or 3.

People find that colorless Henna loosens curls more.
To get your hair to a 3c you'll want to do a brazilian keratin treatment. I'm 4a, and I'm a 3b/c now from BKTs. I just did the organix bkt ( formaldahyde free) ( sold at cvs) on my sister's 4a curls. She's still a 4a/3c but no frizz, and when she went into flat iron she was shocked that she barely had to use it.
Of course I'm not advocating that you do this treatment. just letting you know you don't have to go the relaxer/texturizer route to loosen your curls. Oh and that clay stuff doesn't work..lol

Also it is a clarifier so you do not want to leave this on your hair for three hours. The longest I leave it in my hair is 20-25 minutes.

Just add a heaping Tablespoon slippery elm powder.
steep a heaping teaspoon of fenugreek powder in hot water add to clay mixture. Add more water as needed.
Again, don't let it dry on your hair. I leave mine on no longer than 20-25 minutes. If it looks like it's getting dry before then, I spritz with water.
Sometimes , less is more.
First you are not going to go from a 4C to a 3C without some type of chemical. I've used Rhassoul and Bentonite on my hair before. Both seemed to loosen the curl but only temporarily. Once the hair dried it was the same texture as when I started. I was using them for cleansing purposes only not for loosening my curl. The bentonite felt good while it was on but my hair was like straw the next day. The Rhassoul did not dry my hair out but I didn't see much benefit to the treatments so I discontinued the treatments.
"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen." --- Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
