Hi,
i found this recipe to loosen curl pattern in a beauty store newsletter, i hope it helps!
it says: quote " this concoction is not a relaxer, it will with regular application, will eliminate frizz, soften the hair and temporarily strecth and elongate the natural curl pattern..."
recipe: 1 tin of coconut milk, 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, the juice of 1 lime, 2-3 tablespoons of cornstarch, 2 tablespoons of natural live yoghurt, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 2 tablespoon of coconut oil.
how to make:
empty the milk, oils and lime into a sauce pan and whisk until well blended and lump free. the heat the saucepan very gently. thicken the mixture and achieve a conditioner-like consistency, not cook it!!!!
keep whisking while you add the honey then gradually add cornstarch and once it is well blended, and thickened, leave to cool completely follow with the live yoghurt and mix well.
refrigerate for around 20 min before applying on the hair.
apply it as if you applying a relaxer, concentrate on root if you are transitioning from relaxer or perm to natural. using a wide tooth comb, comb through gently until smooth.
cover with plastic cap and ideally, steam for 30min to an hour, if you don't have asteamer leave on hair for 1-2hr.
next rinse, and deep condition!!!
depending on the lenght and thickness of the hair, the mixture will be enough for 1-3 applications. you can keep the rest in a plastic jar and freeze until next time needed!
sorry about the lenght of the reply, i hope this helps, if you decide to try it, please give feedback!

I want to identify all the possible natural ingredients that could loosen one's curls, coils, Z-pattern, etc after repeated use.
I DON'T want to inadvertently loosen my curl pattern, so I'd like this info to avoid that. But feel free to use the info in order to loosen your pattern if you'd like

So far I've learned about:
1. Henna
2. Coconut milk
