What's the consistency of the coconut cream?
Very Thick, Of Course Creamy, and sticky. I melt mine so its a bit runny.
What's the consistency of the coconut cream?
I have some coconut cream concentrate....how do you use it on your NG?
I'm 11 wks post now stretching for 24 wks...
-Wks 1-12 I use a light moisturizer and nothing on my new growth. Usually NTM or HE LTR
-Wks 13+ I use a heavier moisturizer since I air dry mostly during that time, usually Nexxus Humectress
-JBCO for edges/roots
-Hot Oil treatments 1x a month
-Aphogee 2 min or ORS Hair Mayo w/ 1 egg for protein
Also, low manipulation is huge for me, I wash and DC once a wk and bun until my next wash after 13 wks post...
Coconut Oil (keeps new growth soft)
Aussie Moist and V05 Cheapie Cons (co-washes)
Rusk Smoothers Leave In (creamy leave-in,great at helping me detangle)
Kenra Moisturizing Conditioner
Aubrey Organics GPB or Aphogee 2min Reconstructor (mild protein)
I Think the More You Do it, The Better You Get At Coming Up with A Detailed Regimen that Works.
I have found myself changing products & techniques as the weeks roll on.
This time, (my 3rd stretch) I was better able to know exactly what my hair needed and at what point.
IDareT'sHair,Mine (canned) was quite a bit "thicker" than regular Coconut Milk (actually more like the consistency of Eagle Brand Milk).
I applied it all over, massaged it in and put a Plastic Cap on for awhile 30 minutes to an hour (don't remember using any heat) and rinsed really well.
Hair was incredibly " super soft" but I wasn't many weeks post. Prolly about 4-6 weeks the time or two I used it.
I didn't use it very many weeks Post tho'. So now, I will try it again like about 10-12 weeks like the other poster suggested.
1. A shower comb, i dont know how i ever did without it!
2. CON in the green bottle, its a life saver! Bye-bye tangles and knots.
3. Protein condish - i have a few that i rotate
4. EVOO
5. Some good thick moisturizing condish like Silk Elements Cholesterol, i mixed some SAA in mine and it makes my hair feel SOOOO good, the front of my hair looks relaxed because of it, no fuzzies for me.
IDareT'sHair,
