Naturally Brighten Gray Hair using QuickSilverHair Clay:

I have tried many recipes with the clay and this is what I use. For best results, use this recipe.

What you need:

• Shower Cap
• QuickSilverHair Clay
• Silicone-Free Conditioner* Synthetic ingredients will block the action of the clay.
  • The Ordinary Shampoo & Conditioner, for a fragrance free option. I actually prefer this now over the Acure.
    They work really well with QuickSilverHair Clay and Oil.
  • For great results use Acure Curiously Clarifying Shampoo* and Conditioner*
• 3-4 pumps of QuickSilverHair Squalane Oil
  • If you choose to use your own oil use a dropper-full of 100% PURE Marula, Babassu Oil, or Coconut Oil or a clear oil of your choice.
  • You must use oil in order to activate the clay.

Instructions:

• Mix in a small bowl: 2-3 tbsp of clay (+/- depending on the length of your hair) with oil and enough conditioner to make a smooth mix it should feel and look like frosting. You can add a little water if needed.
• Apply gently and evenly to wet hair after using clarifying shampoo.
• For deeper brightening and clarifying leave on for 30 to 40 minutes.
• Do not use heat, heat will dry out the clay and cake it to your hair.
• Rinse mask from hair thoroughly. You can wash again, experiment depending on what you feel your hair needs. Some need another wash after and some enjoy leaving it until the next wash.

How Often to Use the Clay:

You can safely use the mask up to twice a week for stubborn discolorations. How often you use it is up to you, but I advise at least once every 15-30 days for maintaining your brightest and shiniest gray hair.

QuickSilverHair Purple Clay Mask

§

• Start with the amount of Deep Conditioner you need to cover all your hair.
• Add a small amount of Manic Panic gradually until you like the color in the mix.
  • • What you see in the bowl (example below) will be similar to your results on white hair.
• Optional, QuickSilver Hair Clay and a few pumps of QSH Oil for a double dose of hair healthy cleansing & conditioning.
  • • The clay should be equal amount as the deep conditioner, 1:1
• Coat your freshly clarified wet hair with the mask.
• Cover with a shower cap and leave on for at least 20 to 30 minutes.
• RINSE thoroughly.
• It should wash out in about 6 washes.

Manic Panic doesn’t affect the cortex of the hair; the color only lays on the hair shaft so it washes out without permanent staining, unlike normal semi-permanent colors stain.

Below is my mom. I made this mask with clay for her, she wanted a little purple tone visible, so I went a little heavier on the purple. You can see the soft tint in her after photo. Her hair was shimmery and very soft.

ALWAYS DO A TEST SECTION: Please note, there are no real and clear CONTROL STANDARDS in the hair color industry, so one company may label something one way when it is actually another.

If you are at all concerned about coloring your silvers and them being permanently stained do a test section underneath. If you love your silvers, err on the side of caution. Even stylists are just now learning what happens with grays and certain types of hair color; because having gray hair clients who want to remain gray and don’t want to damage their silvers is relatively new.
