YUM...CARAMEL

[Lucky's Mom]

I cheated when I made my caramel treatment. I went to Wal mart and purchased T. Marzetti Old Fashioned Caramel Apple Dip and mixed it with a tsp of ACV, bananas from the jar (Wal Mart brand) and a teaspoon of olive oil and it worked just like the original Etae itself. I could kick myself for paying $15-$17 per bottle of the Etae when I could get the caramel and the other basic ingredients from Wal Mart all under 5 bucks! Now I know better

Caramel Apple Dip?erplexed

This treatment does not contain caramel.

 

[SouthernStunner]

honey, olive oil, bananas, molasses, cornstarch water, vinegar, and wheatgerm oil.

Here are the ingredients for anyone that wants to know.

I am preparing this treatment but I wanted to know what the individual ingredients did first, Molasses is much stickier than honey so it really pulls the strands straight whilst imparting moisture. It works on its own but I really can't wait to try the whole treatment, my curls are already much easier to stretch straight.

Caution if you are using this treatment with heat: Sugars (honey, corn syrup, molasses, etc.) can get very, very, very hot and not only burn the hair but burn the scalp. So be careful if you are using this treatment under a dryer. If using heat, better to use it under a heat cap or a steamer (cool) or a warm wet towel.

I used a similar version from the diva smooth thread 2 weeks ago and my hair felt great.
I would definitely use it once a month.

I'm going to get my hair braided this week so I'm thinking about trying this when I get home.

I must be the only person that HATED this sticky stuff. The Etae salon is here in Philly and I went there some years back and bought the product before they begain to outsource it to stores. I disliked it so much that I couldnt bear to use the entire bottle. It did absolutely nothing for my hair.

I made a similiar mix this morning but I added yogurt, and powdered buttermilk.I also used banana baby food and more molasses since I didnt have any honey. I hope this turns out okay.

Any ladies or gentlemen still using this? My school sister uses this and her hair is silky like.

 

[NJoy]

I was excited to try it, based on the recipe posted but, it was just ok. My hair felt strong, I'll say that but...it was...ok *shrugs*. I wanted to really like it because it sounds decadent. Ah well...

 

[winterinatl]

I keep seeing this on FB and wonder if anyone is currently using it...

I keep seeing this on FB and wonder if anyone is currently using it...

I thought about purchasing it, but I will be mad upset if it doesn't give me good results.

Teraveda Organix Carmeltini is very nice. I'm not sure it's strengthening but it's definitely moisturizing.

 

[Daina]

I have the E'tae brand and I found it to be just meh...my sister raved about it which is why I tried it. I then found out it loosens the curl which is not something I'm interested in. I didn't think it moisturized or strengthened all that well. I was able to bless my sister with the rest of the bottle. I also found it sticky and a pain to work with.

I have Caramel Treatment by - Mission:Condition *line discontinued* It is very, very, nice. Smells good too!
