Yes, I think clays are awesome for people who react to many things and need some very inert, safe cleanser, it's highly unlikely to irritate skin and is a great absorbent ingredient. It's awesome for people with perpetually oily scalps, just like a mud mask works on oily skin.
I do sometimes wonder if it washes out of hair completely. I tend to rinse my ends very quickly, to avoid too much wet manipulation, so I don't know if clays stick to hair shaft, and if they do, if it's a problem?

Does anybody else feel like hair is heavier after a clay wash? Because to me, it's a sign that some of that clay may be left behind... and being very absorbent, that clay left behind can later absorb water and oil from hair... If anybody knows for sure, please put my mind at rest.
