Hello ladies. Just wondering if anyone ever tried this with heat.? sitting under a dryer or a heating cap.Ifso did it make a difference . (looking for a fast fix)
I honestly think just using the yogurt alone or with your conditioner will suffice. I don't think the extra milk or lime juice is necessary. Also what type of yogurt did you use? I noticed when I tried it with non fat yogurt, it didn't work for me but when I tried it again with full fat / low fat yogurt, I noticed the difference. HTHI tried it today and I don't see a noticeable difference. I used plain yogurt, whole milk, honey, and a little lime juice. I also didn't like how it made my hair feel when I rinsed it. And it was runny once it was in my hair. I might try it again with a different combo of products and see how it works. I'm not gonna do anything else with that big tub of plain yogurt.
Is your hair on a diet? I know I am!! J/KDid anyone use 2% milk or did everyone use whole milk?
I am confused, Is yogurt a protein or moisturizer?
Oh that makes perfect sense now that you said it!! You guys are amazing and I think I'm the only one on here without a chemistry degree!! LOL I am definately going to give this a try. I used yogurt before in my henna mix but never as a conditioner!! I just got back from the store with my Dannon plain full fat yogurt. I also have whole milk.I think the milk being sour or going sour b/c of the heat might be a good thing. Another woman in this thread said she used buttermilk in addition to yogurt - and for the coconut lime mixture, you leave it overnight to curdle. It might not smell nice, but as long as you follow it with something scented and moisturizing it should be fine.

Interesting...I tried something similar 2 weeks ago with coconut milk and lime juice and got good results; NG is less "poofy" comb glides through. Two washes later the curl pattern is still loose.
I think the link between the lime juice and the yogurt is the acidity...I wonder what is it about acidity that seems to loosen curl....

If this works out, I'll be able to stretch for months, which is what I want to do!! I need manageablity.
Soliel, please give me some of all that beautiful hair you have please!!
Welcome to the board...I am glad this worked for you...
www.snowdriftfarm.com sells pure lactic acid in it's liquid form -- if added to some moisturizing ingredients and a light protein could this be a shortcut to the whole yogurt/sour milk thing? If Lactic acid is the active ingredient causing the straightening/loosening maybe it could be combined to a set strength, and the mixer could determine what degree of looseness they want....It would take some experimenting, but since it's temporary there's not alot to lose...right?
Lactic acid is primarily found in sour milk products, such as: koumiss, leban, yogurt, kefir and some cottage cheeses. The casein in fermented milk is coagulated (curdled) by lactic acid.
Although it can be fermented from lactose (milk sugar), most commercially used lactic acid is derived by using bacteria such as Bacillus acidilacti, Lactobacillus delbueckii or Lactobacillus bulgaricus to ferment carbohydrates from nondairy sources such as cornstarch, potatoes and molasses.
I know, right? Maybe I can get to mixing and open my own Curve Salon -- all natural for real - and temporary so you never have to lose your kinks!
Do you mind sharing your recipe?

Funny, I went to the supermarket last night to FINALLY, try this experiment but there was no regular yogurt.
They were all low fat, low low fat, organic. No regular yogurt. Where did you ladies go?
