Coconut Milk

Coconut milk is a milky white cooking base derived from the meat of a mature coconut... it shouldn't b confused with coconut water (coconut juice), which is the naturally-occurring liquid found inside a coconut...coconut milk iz packed with protein & oilz that will leave ur hair feeling stronger, healthier, & looking shinier...i recently started using coconut milk az a protein treatment on my hair...i take 1/2 a can of coconut milk, some conditioner, either some avocado or coconut oil, or sometimez both....combine them 2gether n a bowl & mix them up....i then apply thiz 2 dry hair, cover with a plastic cap, & sit under my heating cap 4 about 15-20 minutez...after that i rinse it out with warm water, & continue with my regular hair routine...now thiz mixture can b a tad bit runny, so u may wanna have a towel or 2 handy 2 catch the run-off...the plastic cap comez n handy, but if u dont have that then u may have 2 improvise & use a plastic bag that u can secure with a clip...i found that the *Thai* brand, iz a little bit more expensive, but im told n some casez itz betta bcuz itz a thicker consistency...ive found it @ walmart 4 about $1.55 maybe...cant remember...now ive seen it n the health food store 4 dam near $2.25 & i had 2 do a double take...so make sure u do a comparison when shopping around 4 thiz product...u can also find coconut milk @ ur local supermarket...ive noticed a subtle change in my hair & i will continue 2 use thiz n my hair care regimen.
