Help me figure this one out?

My grandmother used to crack a coconut or two, boil cinnamun sticks in the milk add olive oil and an egg beat the mixture with a whisk and vwala.The perfect conditioner.Well I keep trying this and while it makes our hair super soft im still missing some stuff.Had I known how important this stuff was i woulda took a pen and pad to the mandatory weekly rollersets.My mom cant figure out whats missing either.My grandmothers concotion was much thicker almost like a perm .Mine is runny.And mine smells heavenly but not like hers. sooooooo......Has any body with west indian heritage have a grandparent that made a concotion close to this one.If so where am I going wrong?

Have you tried to add lime or lemon... something acidic to make the milk curdle?

My mummy and grammy used to boil the coconut milk until it made oil, maybe there is a half way point somewhere. I will ask her because I found out that she knows all kinds of good recipies and does not pass them down.

I'm not enough of a kitchen chemist to know what you're missing, but it seems like you're missing some product that can be used a thickener--not flour (obviously) but maybe like banana or avocado.

Maybe she just used egg whites...and whipped them until they were really stiff??
