Hi ladies!
Ok, so I saw this thread and started thinking about the remainder of that big tub of low fat plain yogurt that I bought for a recipe last week. I thought I would give it a try, because my hair needs...something. Anyhow, I mixed about 1 1/2 to 2 cups of low fat yogurt, about 1tsp of amla oil, 2T coconut oil and maybe 1/4t of liquid SAA (it had just arrived and I was itching to use it).
Now, I planned to put it in my hair right away, but I couldn't get over the smell of the amla oil (boy that caught me by suprise!) and a friend that I haven't seen in ages called, so I put it in the refrigerator and left it overnight.
The next evening I went ahead and put the mixture on my head cold. I put on a plastic cap and got another phone call that ended up lasting around 4hrs (I can see this being an overnight treatment because of the time I left it on, but I'm not sure how much the time had to do with this result). I finally got off of the phone, rinsed and did a cowash. I put some coconut oil on, braided it and went to bed.
I woke up this morning and took my hair out of the braids. I am 4a/4b hair combination, and I have not had a relaxer since MARCH 17th of 2007.
As I combed through I looked at my roots and this is what I saw. I bet if I had banded instead of braiding I could've worn it down today. Next time I'll plan better.
This may not be much for some, but for me it's GREAT. It gives me another option. You should've seen my hair before this. If I knew the results would be this good, I would've taken a picture for comparison!
