I know one of the hair forums I went to had the receipt to it, if you want I can try to find the receipt and post here.

I did my own home version based on a recipe from another hair board:
2 ripe bananas
1/4 avocado
1/2 cap ACV
3 tbsp molasses
3 tbsp honey
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 grapeseed and coconut oil

I also routinely add coconut milk or 2 tbsp of henna to this mix.

It's really just a good moisturizing conditioner IMHO. My hair was definitely more shiny and easier to roll than usual. I did not leave the conditioner in overnight - more like 1-2 hours.
 
I've used the Carmel treatment...it's an all natural reconstructor..never heard of anyone losing their hair by using it :perplexed I have gone to their salon and the stylists and clients all had healthy natural hair that they flat iron straight. It was an exclusive product found in salons and online but it must've gotten more popular because now I see the products in the asian bss.

I don't use the products now (even though I still have some of them in my stash) because I've discovered dominican conditioners but if I did continue to use any of the products it would be the watershine hair gloss :yep:
 
Here is what I stole from the other hair forum

I used this treatment for myself, recently, and I just cannot believe the blinding shine and silky softness that came out of it!


The recipe is as follows:

coconut oil
olive oil
wheatgerm oil
shea butter
honey
molasses
Apple cider vinegar
Two overripe bananas
water

I just throw this all in a blender. It freezes rather well, so you won't have to keep making mini-batches every time you wanna use it, just thaw out. It should be a caramel cream look and consistency. Once you coat it on your hair, leave on for a couple hours. If your hair is longer than BSL, it may be easier to put your hair in a ponytail and just do that ponytail portion and loose baggy it to keep it from getting messy. Do not try to manipulate your hair during this time, it is very sticky. Rinse out in the shower. If you have fine hair, this may be all you need, but if you have coarse hair, you may want to follow up with a reconstructor and/or deep conditioner. It doesn't matter how kinky/curly/frizzy your hair is... it will shine like you've never ever seen it do before. I am now a big believer in this and will tell anyone who will listen. It really works!

Oh...and I used the Etae caramel before. It was ok and their customer service was lacking. Mos def something you can make on your own...thanks rak1209.:yep:
 
Ive never tried it but it sounds wonderful especially for the up comming dry winter month and is prob amazing when doin henna to combat dryness :yep:

I think ill make a home version since the ingredients are pretty basic and try this soon.

I just want to know the effect it has on natural hair. It's a deep conditioning agent right?

A girl I know at my college used it... she has 4b natural hair and her hair was the straightest and shiniest I ever saw it. That I i first learned about it cause I was amazed at her hair. It loosens the curls and allows your hair to stay straighter longer if you are pressing and makes its soft regardless of what ur doing to it...

However as I went thru the thread I am starting to wonder about this hair fallin out issue... Me and my hair have been fighting since January (of 2005):lachen:. Maybe Ill save my $15 and buy some Indian powders so my hair can look half as good (and as long) and Candy's...
 
I don't intend to use heat with it. :nono: Should I even bother to check this product out? I need a super moisturizer for my hair. :rolleyes:
 
i'm starting to see it being sold at bss. almost all the ones i went in was carrying it! i was tempted to give it a try but i dont need any setbacks right now. my hair is holding steady following my simple routine:grin:
 
I think im gonna do a homemade caramel treatment and apply it to my new growth once I get some
(currently 4 days post) so it will be a minute:yawn:
and use it to stretch my relaxers. Ill try it out and see what it do and take some pics.
 
I learned of a recipe on Long Hair Community that's also called The Caramel Treatment, and I love it so much that I use it twice weekly as my deep conditioner and as a base for my henna treatment! Here's a link to the thread:

http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/showthread.php?t=65854&highlight=the+caramel+treatment


I use both bananas and avocado in my mixture, and instead of shea butter I use vegetable shortening :grin:. Also, instead of water I use buttermilk. This treatment is great for really dry hair. It leaves it feeling so soft and looking so shiny afterward. Make sure you wash it out thourougly and follow up with your normal conditioning routine afterward.
 
I've used caramel from e'tae. I've known about their products for a couple of years. I'm 4a relaxed and it's a pre-poo treatment and I didnt notice anything special about it, other than my stylist advising that I use it. When putting it on be carefully b/c it can pull out ur hair if you dont use a light touch.
 
Thanks MissMadaam for bumping this. I just used a homemade mixture last night. I had my daughter touch my hair in the front and she said it felt like I got a relaxer. I wish I had read about the hair falling out before I used this. I doubt the mixture will have any adverse effects considering that all of the products are natural. I sure hope not! My hair in the nape area responded well to this treatment. I don't feel the beedeebee's!
 
Does anyone actually know of someone's hair falling out from this or is it just heresay from a stylist (like getting a perm will make your hair fall out)? Just wondering because I've used a homemade version a couple times and I like it, but if theres evidence that it can be harmful I may stop.
 
coconut oil
olive oil
wheatgerm oil
shea butter
honey
molasses
Apple cider vinegar
Two overripe bananas
water

Thats what it is?

oh Yea! I've been using molasses for a while now and it definitely gives my stronger hair. I just added shea butter to the mix and my friends cannot believe how shiny and healthy my hair was. This week I am adding wheat germ oil
 
Hah - I knew this thread was around here somewhere - anyone else tried the homemade version and had good results?
 
I use the homemade version, and I agree that it works wonders. I definitely do not have any hair falling out. What I do have is much shinier silkier hair when I use it in addition to the rest of my routine.

It's easy to make. You can see results and an ammended version of the treatment here:

I do it once a week and only leave it on for about 15 - 30 mins while I'm bathing.
