Coconut cream conditioner

[OceanMomma]

I found a link somewhere to the long hair board & they had a recipe for a hair treatment. All it was was to warm up a can of coconut cream, put it on dry hair, cover & keep warm for a while, then wash off.

I haven't used shampoo on my hair since january but I do still use conditioner. Anyways I tried this & it was really awesome!!! My hair came out so soft & nice & moisturised. All I did was heated up about 1/3 of the can of coconut cream. Poured over my hair & rubbed in. Wrapped in a towel for the afternoon while I chased the kids around. Rinsed off in the bath a few hours later. Then washed off properly with bs & acv in the shower the next morning. I divided up the rest of the can into 2 portions & stuck in the freezer.

Mmmmm, sounds yummy. I think I would add, drink a pina colada while soaking in tub later in the day haha

I love the smell of coconut, I think I'll try this!!

Whenever I try that it takes like 3 washes to get it off & my hair's thrashed afterwards

And I was even the one who posted the link here :

For the record, it was coconut milk ... coconut cream has a lot more fat in it & might be even harder to get off. For the original thread you might do a search on "coconut".

Must just be different hair types. I'm quite excited I've found an alternative for expensive conditioners!

I'll go find the original thread.

Yeah, according to the folks at the long hair forums, some hair reacts well to protein, some to oils. My hair's OK with tiny amounts of coconut oil smoothed into the ends, but if I try deep conditioning with oils it's a flop On the other hand, my hair loves protein type treatments.
