I bought this before but everytime I mixed it I would get big clumps and it really annoyed me. Is it just me? Anyone else? Advice?

I got clumps the first time I did it as well but just put a bit more vinegar into the nexr batch and it was fine.

Mix it little by litter. Dont mix it at one go. However, I never used other liquids to mix the clay. I used the apple cider vinegar, so far so good.

Just bought it so not much experience, but it could be a result of the type of milk you use? I used 1% with no spills. Perhaps a thicker milk like 2% may thick up more (and spill over more) than others? Try experimenting and post back. good luck!

I only have clumping if the fluid is added second to the powder. Fluid first powder second. I have never experienced clumping with this method regardless the brand. Or may I suggest adding half the scoop, shaking and then adding second half of scoop then shaking.

I usually mix one container full and use almost all of it at one time, but have had leftovers that I add a new batch to without problem. I try not to mix more than I can use at one time.

Just wanted to add my $0.02, i've always used this henna, because i love the looked and feel of my hair post treatment. I also suffered the same intense annoying breakage and dry hair (despite deep conditioning). I usually mixed mine with just lemon juice (cause i thought it made the color better). However, during my last use, i forgot to mix with LJ, and used distilled water + 1 tbsp of LJ. Although i did not get the luxurious color and soft thick texture, there was absolutely no breakage. My hair turned out great. I also added olive oil to my deep conditioner this time around. Maybe it was the olive oil in deep conditioner or the dash of LJ in the henna mix, i'm not sure.

I first heard of this from the salon I took my daughter too and it was not clumpy. I wanted to buy but didn't want to pay their price so I found on Amazon and got (2) neither was clumpy it was smooth like a gel so I am not sure why yours is clumpy (that is weird) maybe old not sure. Hope this helps.

I have not mixed it with just water or coffee but use it more for fruit smoothies. I would use a blender to get the powder not to clump.

Make sure you give the bottle a good shake before pouring, (it helps to keep the fluid a consistent density). If you're the only one using the bottle I'd try using the cap as a serving, (it's what I do). Just make sure you give the cap a little rinse with water after taking your daily serving to keep it from getting too sticky or gunky. I've used this stuff since it was called "Sea Silver" & have loved it. Hope you are as benefited by it as I've been.

Citrulline does tend to clump up. Especially when mixed with other powders. It should still be good.

Hmm I'm not 100% on that. Mine was never clumped, but I have had creatine clump and I still use it. It shouldn't do that on arrival though bc that either means it's been exposed to air or has sat a very long time

I have the same issue. If I use enough to get it to stay, I have issues with the white clumps showing up. If I use a small amount, it doesn't hold well enough. Thinking of trying a different brand, or maybe a darker color that will match my 'stache better.

I would probably mix it first with the vinegar, to make a loose paste, and then whisk in the oil. Just adding it to an oil and vinegar mixture might lead to it "clumping". I'd also let it sit, after mixing, to allow the flavors to meld. I've used lots of different "white stuff" - yogurt, sour cream, buttermilk, mayo, and mixtures of any and all of them. I prefer using less of the Ranch powder than usually called for, and adding some of my own herbs/spices "to taste", along with black or white pepper. Have also used to "rub" chicken. Experiment. Enjoy.

I ordered a bottle directly from the manufacturer (which by the way sells it much cheaper than here on amazon) and it too was a blackish-brown, lumpy and wouldn't even pour. I contacted the manufacturer who said it was definitely NOT supposed to be like that. They shipped me a new bottle and I sent them the old one back. This conditioner is ~supposed~ to have a medium dark-brown colour, but it's definitely supposed to be pourable. If you can't pour it from the bottle - send it back and get another.

Hate to say it, but I'm having the same experience. I'm definitely following the instructions correctly (correct measure, filling to the right line, fluffing, etc.), but my brown rice (all we use) is coming out mushy every time. I've tried a few varieties with the same results.Anyone have any ideas?

You have to find a mix that works for you. Play around with different ingredients. I won't lie.....it can taste pretty awful when not mixed properly and thoroughly.

i use the combination/oily. they don't sell that in stores anymore though. so i have to buy them from here. as for this Sensitive formula, i tried it a few times...wasn't for me. it was a little pastier than i'm used to.

I put the amount of water I need to use in first. Then I put the formula in. I then just mix it like the instructions says. I have never had a problem with clumping.
