ALL Natural Thickening Agent

[VeiledBeauty]

Hello All Hair Growers,

I've been on the forum searching for recipes. I decided to try using coconut milk for conditon washes or pree poo's it's just one problem i don't want the milk to drip down my neck so i wanted to know if anyone had any information on a natural thickening agent i can put in my coconut milk recipe to make the mixture thick? I would like it the consistency of whipped butter.



thank you

Xanthan or Guar gum. I use guar gum. You can get both from health food stores... well that's where I get mine anyway.

HTH!

I use this stuff called 'thick-it'. It's a food quality ultra-strong corn starch powder used to made foods thicker for those who can't eat normally, for whatever reason. I got a HUGE container (32 oz?) on ebay a while ago, and don't see myself running through it any time soon. You can get free samples from their website (http://www.thickitretail.com/), and Walgreens sells it, too.

I just make a thick paste with coconut powder instead of using coconut milk, no drip :
