DIY Greek Yogurt DC Review (Pic Heavy)

[dollface0023]

I tried this, but I used Avocado's in the mixture. My hair was so ridiculously dry. I may it again with just the yogurt and see what happens...

 

[HairPleezeGrow]

So I tried it Sunday after church. My mixture seemed too runny or something & it didnt coat my hair like Ms_CoCo37. Maybe I will try it again & make double the amount. It also didnt detangle it just felt really tangled & my hair kind of stuck 2 gether. Maybe I should try something else with it? Any suggestions ladies?

I tried this DC this weekend and I'm in love. It made my hair shine and extremely soft. I used 10% yogurt and ACV (no EOs) and kept it on for maybe 90 minutes. I love the results. My hair before DCing was the result of a week old twistout (slept on) and I didn't have to detangles not one knot!!! (I didn't dare to detangle beforehand)

I also notice that my twistout today is hanging down instead of standing tall. I'm not sure how to explain or even sure if the DC caused it but last week I did the exact same thing (w/o the yogurt DC) and got this:

This week with the same technique + yogurt DC I got this:

(as far as I know I twisted it the same both times)

I like them both but I see/feel a difference.

HTH someone!

dollface0023, Try the above recipe and let me know if your hair still feels dry. The only thing I deviated from as far as the recipe, is that I added olive oil to the mixture.

@HairPleezeGrow, Did you use greek or regular yogurt? Also, how many spoonfuls of yogurt did you use? I know the consistency of greek yogurt is much thicker than regular. Maybe try adding a little olive oil to the mix. I know I added it because I only had nonfat yogurt instead of whole fat or 2%.

I'm surprised it didn't detangle for you. I just did the same treatment on DD this evening and her knots and kinks just melted away. She had very little shedding when I combed the leave-in conditioner in. Did you remember to rinse and condition in sections?

HTH someone!

@kittenz, your hair looks great! I can definitely see the difference in how your curls are laying in the second pic. I'm glad it worked for you.

Like I mentioned earlier, I decided to try the same treatment on DD, and I got the same fabulous results. I'll be sure to post a few pix of her hair. BTW, she's also natural.

@Ms_CoCo37: Daggggggggg, now I'ma hafeta try it....

@FindingMe, I don't know if I would give myself wig status, but I'm definitely happy I tried it. Let me know if you decide to.

@Lucky's Mom, I love greek yogurt too, and I feel the same way you do about parting with it for your hair. I actually had three large containers of it in the fridge. I noticed that one of the containers had expired. It was then, that I remembered my boss telling me that yogurt can still be eaten after the expiration date. Of course I was like. But I figured it couldn't hurt to use it as a conditioner.

I said all of that to say, if you see that some of your yogurt is/or is about to expire, instead of throwing it out...use it as a conditioner.

I'll be back in a few to post pix of DD's hair!

Yogurt lasts 3 days in my fridge.

Ms_CoCo37 Thank you!! And thanks for starting this thread. I wanted to try the mix but your results encouraged me to do it sooner.

Man! i wish I had some type of fragrance though, that mess was funky! I'll be ordering some EOs for my next round

Ms_CoCo37 yes maam I used greek yogurt & also added in the olive oil. I used two heaping spoonfuls (2 tbsp but little more). I did rinse & then f/u with my WEN GP. I will give it another try this weekend and maybe add more yogurt than the ACV.

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

Okay, here are the results of the yogurt DC on DD's hair:

This is he hair after rinsing and conditioning (product free):

Here is the finished product:

Here is a close-up:

Sheesh! I really need to invest in a camera, because my iPhone just doesn't do the pix any justice.

The only thing that I changed is that I oiled her scalp with warm olive oil prior to applying the DC (she had some major dandruff going on). As far as changes made to the DC, I used peppermint oil instead of the lavendar. That's it!

All in all, DD loves her hair! She's been cracking her neck while whipping it back and forth.

WHOA!!!!! Amazing!

HairPleezeGrow, definitely add more yogurt to the mixture, and also, the olive oil won't be necessary if you have the whole fat or 2% greek yogurt. Tweak it to your needs.

I wonder if something like this would work on my texture hmmm....

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

NikkiQ, I don't see why not. I've seen your pretty curlies...I bet they would pop after a good dc.

Might have to try it out when I take these twists out next week.

So I couldnt wait til this weekend to re-try. I must say it was way better than the first time. I added more yogurt & left in for 30 minutes. When I rinsed out & deep conditioned for another 30 min my hair felt so good. And there was hardly any shed hair. My hair usually sheds quite a bit daily and I only had like 5 hairs!

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

HairPleezeGrow, I'm so glad it worked for you the second time around.

Like I said before, you have to tweak it to fit your hair needs. Be careful that you don't do the treatment too often. You don't want to have a protein overload.

I'll be doing this treatment twice a month (every other week).
