All of you are sweet - ok - here are the details:

1. Thursday morning - Bought a lime & 1 can of Coconut milk ( Got it from Walmart, Not Goya)- Juiced the lime & put it in a shallow dish. Added the coconut milk & 1 tbls of EVOO...Put it in the fridge. :fridge:

For next time - I will be using 2 limes

2. Thursday Night - came home from class - :hair:

and slapped on the mix with a relaxer brush ( that is how i put most of my food for hair on...) Wrapped it up in plastic and went to bed :sleep2:

Chuck kept smelling Coconut :sleeptogether:

.........

3. I could not sleep witht this stuff!!! It felt itchy!! I dont feel that with my Caramel or other treatments..... Anyway - headed for the shower in the am ( I went to bed about midnight - woke up at 5 am ) :bath2:

Shampooed, and my hair felt elongated and frankly weird..... Anyhoo - shampooed 2x.... oil rinsed and rinsed my scalp......and it felt much better..
Slapped on my DC... Took chuck to work and heade for LA Fitness.....Straight for the Sauna..( no workout ) :meditate:

I thought that would be GREAT - UM NO! I was so wobbly :ohsnap:

That I had to leave after 10 minutes - so I had to find another steamy way......

So I did the following:

For at least an hour: no Wobble!

4. final rinse in the shower .... I had LUSHIOUS HAIR OMG.......- added leave in - beyond straight and heat protectant....

4. Rollerset - Sat under the pibbs for 1 hour. OH my hair needs MORE THAN that - at least 90 mins.... :afropick:

So - I had to go to the Flat iron for roots...( I am a rollerset Virgin) :peek:

5. Ran over with maxiglide.... :afro:

Kissable hair !!!

:thatsall:

Lots of love!!! I will have more pics in my fotki....

Well - that is the ultimate compliment.
I have been a natural for 9.5 years.

Last relaxer was November 1998 :yay:

adw425 · Mar 29, 2008

Thanks mama - I adore your hair. :yawn:

PeggyFair · Mar 29, 2008

So are you saying that the Coconut and Lime is responsible for the straightness that we see? Or did the maxiglide straighten your hair? I'm kind a confused?

sharentu · Mar 29, 2008

your hair turned out lovely. just confirmation that the coconut and lime mixture works very well. :blush:

its amazing that you are 9.5 years without having a relaxer. thanks for updating us.

TaurusAngel · Mar 29, 2008

The coconut just elongated the curl pattern, and it was much easire to rollerset and flat iron.

wonderstar · Mar 29, 2008

:wow:

It came out lovely.

LeopardLover77 · Mar 29, 2008

You're hair looks amazing! Like one of the previous posters, I thought your hair was relaxed and I thought you were trying to stretch your new growth. Wow!

Do you have pictures of your curl pattern? What hair type are you?

Okay I see now. So how long does this elongated curl pattern last? How often will you have to reapply this mixture to maintain this level of manageability?

Suerte · Mar 29, 2008

That looks snazzy!

Your hair is doing that "C'mere and touch me, big boy!" thing.

princessnad · Mar 29, 2008

The hair looks great!!! Mmmmmm. Yummy!

newflowers · Mar 30, 2008

Tomorrow is my me day - I already have two turbie twist towels - I'm going to try this and see how it goes. I'm looking forward to wonderful results. Thanks bunches for the heads up - a way to make a deep conditioner work even better is priceless - especially since I won't have to explain to Dh that I had to spend more money. :drunk:

Jetblackhair · Mar 30, 2008

Wow, your hair looks gorgeous! My dh always uses the steam room and it's literally 20 steps from my front door...I guess I will be joining him now :yep:

(but he doesn't think I can hang :ohwell:

).
