Ok, so I know this update is late in coming but been so busy.
Anyways, I followed the instructions on the Coconut milk deep treatment post ( Drank half the can of coconut milk it was delicious) and here are my results.
RESULTS
1. My new growth loved the treatment. It was soft and my curls really popped. Sorry no pictures, had an accident with my phone that day will upload pictures when i do this treatment again.
2. My relaxed hair did not like the treatment at all. It was stiff, it was hard and made my detangling session hell. To bring back softness I had to do two co-washes during the week with my Giovanni Tea Tree Invigorating Conditioner.
OVERALL VERDICT
I will be doing this treatment again but this time i will focus more on my new growth and apply just a little to my relaxed ends, this is because yoghurt and coconut milk is high in protein, and I guess my relaxed ends are just too porous to take in all that lovely protein.
I will follow it immediately with a moisturising deep treatment to balance out the protein.
I will also be using Coconut cream instead of coconut milk as coconut milk is too runny and my mixture drip all over my body.
Now like I promised, here are the benefits of all items used in the mix.
BENEFITS OF YOGHURT
Yogurt has antibacterial and antifungal properties, is a natural cleanser, helps fight itchy scalp and dandruff, stimulates hair growth, is high in lactic acid which helps smooth hair and control fizz, and makes hair shiny and soft.
I’d heard that yogurt makes a great protein treatment, but its important to use full fat yogurt. I’m not exactly sure why it makes a difference, but it does.
BENEFITS OF ALOE VERA JUICE
Aloe vera juice, with its excellent moisturizing properties(strong humectant) can serve as a natural conditioner to deeply moisturize the hair strands. So, if you are struggling with dry, damaged you can use aloe vera juice in place of your regular conditioner to make your hair silky, soft and smooth. It works as an excellent hair conditioner for dry and damaged hair.
Apart from moisturizing hair, aloe vera can help to prevent hair loss. In fact, one of the most important benefits of aloe vera is prevention of hair loss and stimulation of hair growth. The enzymes found in aloe vera juice act as hair growth stimulators.
Like yoghurt helps fight itchy scalp and dandruff and helps helps smooth hair and control fizz.
To get healthy hair and dandruff free scalp, you can apply the gel or juice of aloe vera on your scalp before taking a shower, leave it on for about half an hour, and then rinse it off.
BENEFITS OF COCONUT MILK
Coconut milk is very rich in protein, iron, and essential fats. Also can help grow your hair and make it healthier.
1. Controls and heals several scalp issues including dermatitis.
2. Stops hair shedding and breakage
3. Boosts hair growth
4. Makes the hair soft and supple
5. Reduces premature graying.
6. Very good deep conditioner because of its penetrative qualities.
BENEFITS OF COCONUT OIL
Popularly called Adi Agbon, Coconut oil is great for those of you who wish to combat hair loss and strengthen your hair. It also has the ability to thicken it, get rid of dandruff, and manage long, curly hair. Coconut oil can be safely left on the scalp overnight and is easily removed by the use of a shampoo. Because of its moisturizing properties, this oil is a great choice for eliminating dandruff. Because coconut oil strengthens your hair and prevents it from breakage, it is propounded as the best remedy for those of you who wish to have long, healthy locks. In simple terms, the use of coconut oil will aid (not cause) natural hair growth.
Simply warm a little coconut oil and massage it onto the scalp. This massage is also likely to send you into a wonderful snooze. Allow coconut oil to work its magic overnight and wake up feeling refreshed, wash off the oil, and watch your hair slowly go back to its normal state as you keep following this treatment.
BENEFITS OF OLIVE OIL
Olive oil is the perfect oil to use to restore and replenish dry hair. Those of you who can't manage the frizz and are having way too many bad hair days, should use olive oil to bring back the shine that your hair used to exhibit once upon a time. Some people use olive oil for deep conditioning, and when used often enough, a clear difference is visible in the way the hair appears. Olive oil is a little more oily than coconut oil, so you may wish to use a little lesser of it, and leave it on just for an hour or so before you wash it off. It can also be used as an after wash moisturizer for the hair, where you take just a few drops on your palm and rub it all over your hair, particularly the tips (not scalp). This makes the hair more manageable through the day
BENEFITS OF CASTOR OIL
The reason behind the popularity of the usage of castor oil for treating hair problems lies is the presence of ricin/ricinoleic acid in the oil, which is germicidal, insecticidal and fungicidal. So using the oil will keep the hair from microbial and fungal infections thus, lessening hair loss.
Regular treatment of the scalp and roots with the oil helps prevent drying of the hair and within months, hair growth is an obvious result. This is achieved by the Omega-9 fatty acids in the oil.
To keep the hair looking soft and shiny, moisture has to be retained by the hair. This can be taken care of by castor oil, as it is a humectant (any substance that is added to another substance to keep it moist).
If there is any damage caused to the hair, the use of this oil will not only manage to hide the damage, but at the same time, will work effectively in making the hair grow thicker than before.
Castor oil even benefits eye lashes. Apply a bit of the oil over the base of the eyelashes every night before bed, and get thicker and fuller lashes in some time.
SO THERE YOU ARE. I HAVE LISTED ALL THE BENEFITS OF ALL THESE NATURAL INGREDIENTS FOR HAIR, TO SHOW YOU THAT YOU CAN SOLVE ALL YOUR HAIR PROBLEMS USING NATURAL RESOURCES.
