What sets Kaolin Clay apart from the rest of the clays out there is its pH balance. Its pH level is very similar to what you’ll find in a typical scalp. So if you have an oily scalp or oily hair, it’s great for reducing that oiliness without irritating or drying the scalp. In fact, Kaolin Clay can help restore moisture to your hair and heal a dry scalp. And it can help to repair damaged hair, making it smoother and stronger. Not bad for something you thought was just good for creating cool hairstyles.
