Spring Hair Recipes- For Natural, Curly, Kinky, Relaxed and Transitioning Hair

Okay I talked about my Spring hair routine previously (Spring And Natural Hair-Time To Get Your Hair Healthy, Manageable, And Beautiful) and now here are the recipes that go with them.  It is super easy. Pics of the ingredients are below.

Oh and Coconut oil, too.

So those are the ingredients I am using to make my hair look great for summer.  It is my hair diet.

Shampoo Recipe:

2.5 Oz of Coconut Milk

3 oz Aloe Vera Gel

Mix it together (no lumps) and that's it. I of course will be making a larger batch.  

ph of hair is 4.5-5.5

ph of this shampoo is 4.5 allowing the hairs cuticles to close properly and you hair to shine.  This is great to control frizz, strengthen damaged hair (relaxers and heat) and stop shrinkage of every type of curly hair.

Coconut Milk and Lime Hair Treatment:

There are simpler recipes for this treatment and originally it was just coconut milk and lime and sometimes sunflower oil but I like adding things I think my hair needs so...

Big Batch

Coconut Milk or Coconut Cream (I use the cream and milk) 5-6 cans

2.5-3 cups of Lime and Lemon juice.  

I squeeze both my limes and lemons and strain to remove pulp.

I use more limes than lemons.  In fact of the 3 cups there is only the juice of 2

lemons total combined with the limes.

I add Jojoba oil and coconut oil for a total of about 1/4 cup of oil.

Cornstarch at least 5 Tablespoons 

Cornstarch is not just a thickener it also helps give you hair shine so flour won't do.

1. I blend all the ingredients together and cook over very low heat to thicken.  (20 min)

2. I place the mixture in a container and place in the refrigerator over night or at least 4 hours

3. I put mixture through my entire head of hair, massage my scalp for at least 3 min and then place a 

plastic cap on my head.  Leave it on for 1-2 hours.

4. I then rinse my hair and then co-wash with Wen or Herbal Essence Conditioning Shampoo
