Yep, I still use it. Not often thought... I mostly use it before I flat iron.

I used it once and it made my NG soft, then was going to wait until I had more NG, I just realized how long its been! Maybe it will work on my edges... Ill do it next time I wash... Hopefully it will work on my edges, because the rest of my hair (minus the kitchen) isnt giving me any trouble.

I still use it but not as often. I plan on using it the next time I blow dry and flat iron.

I'm natural and it does loosen my curl.

Hi, i am all natural also and i used this because it made less shrinkage for me and my hair was so soft.

Thanks ladies I am planning on doing this soon...I am natural and I want it to loosen up my curl so it will be closer to my heat damaged hair in the front....


Anybody else still using this??

Does it loosen your curl permanently or do you have to re-apply everytime you wash?

I do it, and it softens hair, but doesn't straighten immediately. It straightens hair out over time though, so I've been told...

Yup, I'm still using it - I use it every three months, mixed with henna as part of my 'usual' regimen. I find spacing it there gives me just the right amount of consistent 'looseness' without making my hair straight, or overdosing on protien and making my hair brittle.

Great Thread.

How do you use/apply it to your hair?

I am restarting using it starting this week. It's been the best help while I'm stretching relaxers. Hopefully I'll make it to stretch until at least Oct/Nov.

I've been playing with the mix/time on my hair and have had some good results. I've done it probably um, six times or so by now.

Bump Bump!

Hello, I think you use a tall glass full of coconut milk and the juice of one lime let it sit overnight until the mixture is has a creamy consistency...then you apply it like a relaxer. Leave it on for an hour than rinse. I heard you should do it frequently to get good results....

Hope this helps. I still haven't tried it yet.

Here's what I use:

1 can coconut milk
1 smallish lime
some cheapy con
Few tablespoons of Lekair Cholesterol con
Few squirts of whatever oil I have handy

I will mix this up in a big plastic cup. Generally for more straightening I use a whole lime instead of half, your mileage may vary, I saturate my hair then drain it until it's not drippy.

Then I cut a grocery bag open, tie it around my head and put a knit cap on to keep it from moving. I'll leave the mix on for hours usually. Then shampoo w/gentle shampoo DC and I'm good to go.

I've also found that adding an egg to the mix results in more strength but a need for more moisture for me.
