Hmmmm... I have to try this.
Yikes, I'm on the other side of the fence on this one...I'm wanting to stay away from this now since I don't want to loose any more curl pattern! This sounds yummy for moisturizing, but if I loose too much curl in the front, it will be straight, and that's not a good look for me!
But for those who this has worked for, congrats on this discovery!
Well with mine, I didn't want to make it too runny/watery so I didn't add that much milk to it maybe 2/4th of a cup + the yogurt already has milk in it as well.Question ladies (i'm all ears on this one, lol). how much milk did you add? and does anyone know how this would work on color treated hair?
I added a couple level tablespoons of yogurt to my conditioner three times three weeks ago and noticed that next Sunday how loose my curl pattern was. I did it three times that first week because I just liked the way my hair felt after the conditioning treatment. I was not looking at all to loosen or relax my curl pattern and was very surprised that this happened, so I started researching this and it is likely the lactic acid action.
My mix also had honey, molasses, whey protein, a tiny bit of coconut oil and coconut milk and my powdered herb mix of strengthening/softening/ moisturizing herbs. My base conditioner was SalonCare honey and almond. I did it three times last week with a splash of buttermilk added (as an experiment) and my curl pattern has loosened about 75-80%. My hair has barely tangled in three weeks and it feels very smooth and retains moisture better. I haven't gotten anymore of those nasty knots on the ends either.
I did not use the yogurt or buttermilk at all this past week and I have wet my hair every night this week either co-washed, shampooed or rinsed and the curl pattern is still the same -- loosened. The "s" shape of the strands are elongated and when I pull my hair back into a bun, my wave pattern is nearly non-existent. I believe it is the lactic acid in the yogurt/buttermilk.
Royal Glory: It looks so yummy, I have to stop myself from tasting a bit of it. I was wondering where you were....
Did anyone use 2% milk or did everyone use whole milk?
Has anyone tried this with a coconut milk mixture or has everyone been using regular milk(whole or whatever)?
I use mine like a deep conditionerSorry if this was asked before, but are you ladies using this as a pre-poo or are you applying after you've shampoo'd and then just rinsing out the yogurt, etc?
Hi. This is my first post!!!! You guys really intrigued me with this so last night I went to the market and purchased plain yogurt, buttermilk and molasses. Mix was mostly yogurt with a 1/4 cup of buttermilk and about 2 tablespoons of molasses. Everything was the store brand and inexpensive. I'm a 4A/B with my nape and bang area 3B. Since I've never mixed my own products before I was amazed at how nice my hair looks today. My 4B hair is really big fluffy and soft. The other hair has spiraled and stretched. I'm wearing a wash and go and my hair is really stretched out. I'd definitely say it worked for me and I'll try it again. I left this concoction on my hair for 1 hour with a plastic cap and no heat.
