I used organic whole milk and honey in my bentonite clay instead of water, olive oil and honey and my hair feels alot more moisturized after rinsing it out. Also the curls hang more. You guys should try using milk instead of water esp if you are low porosity. I can't wait to try it with my rhassoul clay!

I did not have any whole milk so I used coconut milk which I will leve on overnight. I will report back tomorrow.
 
For those trying out the milk, please report back. Not as part of the mhm but I plan to add cucumber juice with honey and olive to my DC instead of water. According to Hair Care Rehab book, cucumbers are very moisturizing for hair.

Is anyone using products with glycerin, vegetable or otherwise and are still making progress?

I have a few products with glycerin that I still use because I am not going to throwaway alł my products. I spent a lot of money on some of then-miss Jessie's Deva Curl Ouidad and others. I use them in with my approved products. I haven't noticed any problem with tangles or SSKs which is why I do the regimen.

Thank you HopefulOne. I have been agonizing over removing glycerin from my regimen all together because I remember when I made my veg. glycerin mix before I BC, my NG felt amazing! My hair always felt cool to the touch and very moisturized.

Pinkcube hates the stuff and recommend avoiding altogether but also says you can maybe use it if you are monitoring the dew points/humidity levels daiky. I'm using my Oyin Greg juice but will baggy while I'm in the house or have to leave the house, unless Im going somewhere and have to take my hat off. I cleanse/CW daily anyway so I think I can properly manage using it. From my research, vegetable glycerin is a fatty plant derived alcohol that moisturizes like Ceteryl, etc...

This article helped me understand tremendously even though I recall reading some of it before...

I don't know how to copy links so if anyone wants to know where I pulled the info, just let me know and I'll try to direct you to the site.

A good rule of thumb is as follows:
Humid Conditions: 60F - 80F,plus
Optimal Conditions: 40-60F
Dry/Arid Conditions: less than 40f

As y'all can see, I have nothing but time on my hands. Anyhoo, I NEED to share this info for my fellow low porosity peeps or whom ever else. If you read nothing else today, please read this article, I'm so sorry I cannot copy links but I'll try.

Its highly probable that some have read this already and that's great. I'm a learner, a learner that need to know the back story, the why's and why not's...not just be told what to do. This article has taken my understanding to a whole new level. I love the mhm, the cgm and such, but I love them more when I can customize the brilliant methods to fit my hair's unique needs when I completely and thoroughly understand what it is that I'm trying to accomplish.

faithVA you are definitely on to something! I will be incorporating a tiny amount of Castile soap to my conditioner/water mix when I CW!

Please feel free to share freely. We are all learning.

I have read this article before but I am just starting to understand it. And for my own hair still trying to figure out what does and does not work.
 
I did not have any whole milk so I used cocunut milk in my clay mixture. It was amazing, cocunut is my my new ingredient in my clay mix. I did bentonite, honey and coconut and it was so creamy and moisturizing. I will be using it moving forward. The only thing is it only last 2 days in the refrigerator but I am going to stretch that can for that extra day. I am so happy that I stumbled on cocount milk. It is great with the clay.

Trying freezing it. Put it in an ice tray if you have it and make ice cubes. Put the ice cubes in a ziploc bag.

No need to feel ashamed about that. I think my icemaker broke one year which is why I have them.

Yes Walmart will have them. You might even try the dollar store to save some money.

I freeze almost everything.

Awesome! I had great results too. I can't wait to try it with the rhassoul. Let us know your results using organic whole milk too.

Walmart does not carry ice cube trays but i bought this cute little egg poacher thing that has two receptacles which are the perfect size for two batches.
 
Interesting, thanks guys...ooh next wash day (I'm hoping tomorrow) I am itching to try the milk/clay combo. I'll do ordinary whole milk as I've already bought a pint in preparation:grin:. I'll see how that goes before trying coconut milk.
 
Even though I put fresh distilled water in it every time, I decided that using foggy muddy looking steamer water can not be good for my tresses. I thoroughly put it thru cleanse and rinse cycles for better results. What was I thinking before?
