How to use white clay?

Despite the fact that white clay is completelyis safe for health, but you should not neglect some rules regarding its storage and use. Before using kaolin for the first time, it is recommended to read the instructions to avoid the most common mistakes. So, firstly, the hair mask is done only on the day it will be applied.
