Questions for Yogurt and dairy product users...

Do you chelate?

Are you worried about calcium deposits in your hair? There is a ton of calcium in milk and milk based products...

I know that people report dryness and such with no lye relaxers because of the calcium deposits into the hair...

What do you think about it?

Bump!

Good point. I've been using a mix of sour cream, coconut creme, coconut milk, honey, and aloe vera as a dc/ henna base for about 2 wks (for a total of 3 times). I've clarified once since I started using it, but I had forgotten about 'chelating'. Hmmm...

Nope. But I only use them as needed. I used them regularly for awhile and never felt like I had build up or dryness. I only ever shampoo if I have used a product that needs it to come out - rarely.

But I only use yogurts and I read a lot of threads about it before I started using it. No one ever mentioned chelating.
