Bit of a personal care question here for the gals, but we've noticed during our longer clay wallows that it can really dry out Ms. Plonk's hair. It's fairly fine (blonde, straight) to begin with, and she usually combs a bit of conditioner through it pre-session, but the clay, by nature, can really suck the moisture out of things, certainly more than paint or batter. Anyone have any recommendations or product that they swear by? (Shower caps are a hard NO from both of us ) Understandably, she's a bit hesitant to ask her tea-spilling hairdresser, so here we are.

Honeysuckle's technique, which most of our people now use, is to comb *lots* of conditioner through her hair, we use large bottles of Tresseme and tell the girls to use as much as they want, up to an entire bottle for a day's shoots. The riverbank clay we play in is naturally very wet, so may not be as bad as other claypits, but it does seem to work.

Have you considered putting the mud *in* the swim cap to lock in the moisture?

Not sure if helps but combing in oil before hand and during? Coconut of avocado?

Hello
Mrs. Mud here
I have "mud" caps. 4 silicone swim caps, 1 latex swim cap, 4 shower caps and 2 spa hair towels. For casual mud bathing were I will be giving myself a facial and just relaxing in the mud, smoking and enjoying a glass of wine I will wear a spa hair towel. If I'm going to mud bath and masterbate usual I will wear a shower cap. And usual if my husband joins me and things get physical I will wear a swim cap. And sometimes if the mud is runny I will just let my hair down. Mud is surprisingly good for your hair. The one great thing about a swim cap besides keeping mud out of your hair is it keeps mud out of your ears. If you choose not to wear anything for your hair invest in earplugs.
If your hair starts to dry out I use egg and mayo. I'll blend old eggs and mayo into a stinky shampoo in my kitchen aide blender. My advise if your as fortunate as us. Make your blend go outside and coat your entire head. I love walking through our garden but naked covered in mayo and egg. My hair goes to my shoulders but saturated in mud or mayo goes to my back. You'll have this stinky shit you just coated your hair in dripping over your face, your tits and ass. Basically looks like your naked ass stepped outside and got shit on by a dinosaur!
