The Coconut and Lime Treatment

1 tin of coconut milk

 

2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

 

4 tablespoons of lime juice

 

5 tablespoons of plain yogurt

 

2-3 tablespoons of cornstarch

 

“Empty the coconut milk into a saucepan, add the extra virgin olive oil and whisk until well blended.  Coconut milk varies in consistency by brand so depending on how thin the mixture in the saucepan is, add 2-3 tablespoons in a separate bowl and mix this with the lime juice until the mixture is lump free then add to the coconut milk & olive oil mixture. Put the saucepan over a medium heat whisking constantly. The purpose is not to cook the mixture but to activate the cornstarch which will thicken the mixture to a ‘conditioner’ type consistency. This should take a couple of minutes. If you find the mixture is still too thin then add a bit more cornstarch or if you get a brand of coconut milk that that is very thick to begin with, you may omit the corn starch altogether.” Remove from heat, add yogurt when mixture has slightly cooled.

Section hair and evenly distribute the treatment ensuring hair strands are thoroughly coated. Cover hair with a plastic cap, apply heat and wait for about 30 minutes before rinsing out.
