this diy creamy hair mask is great for moisturizing and improving the strength
smoothness and texture of your curls it nourishes them from the outside in helping it to grow
healthy and strong at the end of the video i'll show the way i use the hair mask as well as the
results of how my curls look after using it if it's your first time here hello my love
my name is michelle go ahead and subscribe and hit that bell for more curly hair diys
the primary ingredient we'll be using is coconut milk it works wonders for strengthening hair even
for protein sensitive curl types like myself the protein and coconut milk allows your hair to grow
strong and thick and it's great for preventing breakage go ahead and put your coconut milk
in the fridge we're going to let that chill overnight to allow the cream to separate from
the coconut water make sure not to shake or tip the can to help the cream separate from
the liquid properly because we're going to be using the cream to create our curly hair mask
the next day i went ahead and took that out and then i chilled the bowl for around 10 minutes
to ensure that the whipping process would be as easy as possible which you'll find later on
that it was not because of the brand of coconut milk i ended up using but more on that later
ideally if you have good quality coconut milk whipping up the cream
until it forms soft peaks should take around four to five minutes but that was
absolutely not the case with my trader chose coconut milk that coconut milk that i used was
the absolute worst i did my best to break up the chunks as small as possible with a spoon
i went in and took the coconut water from the can poured a little bit in there hoping
for the best mix that around i did notice that the texture of the cream improved quite a bit
i put in some neem infused honey for some added benefits for my scalp health it's really great for
pulling in moisture from the atmosphere back into your hair smoothing any frizz that you might have
like i said before the trader joe's coconut milk i used was the absolute worst no matter what i
did there were rock hard chunks that just would not whip i ended up having to put it all in the
blender with a bit more coconut water to get the creamy consistency i was looking for but if you
do get the one that i recommend which will be linked in the description box you will not have
any issues you will be able to whip this up within four or five minutes with the perfect texture
now that our beautiful creamy hair mask is made you can portion out what you need and
refrigerate the rest for up to two weeks any leftovers i go ahead and just freeze
them in an ice cube tray and defrost at room temperature before i need to
use the hair mask keep in mind the whipped cream will firm up and set in the fridge
the longer it's chilled so you may need to mix it around with a spoon a bit before you use it
just for you guys i did not wash my hair for 11 days
just to show you how well this mask really works for dry hair that is super long for me i usually
just wash my hair every seven days that's totally pushing it for me
after co-washing my hair with my trader joe's tea tree tingle conditioner i apply this mask
from ends to roots it's important to get this on the scalp to reap all the benefits of the mask
i got this really great detangling brush it's called the EzDetangler i know probably i'm
like so late to this but i just got it and oh my gosh guys this thing works like amazing i detangle
my hair in like a couple minutes that's crazy so went ahead and did the other side off camera and
it's important for me to braid it up because i wrap it around my head and i'm going to be using
a different technique to deep condition my hair because it's really dry and that is saran wrapping
a little secret saran wrap your hair if you want a really intense deep condition session i always
apply heat when i am deep conditioning because my hair is a mix of low to normal porosity and heat
is just a must for me when i'm deep conditioning if i really want the mask to penetrate my hair
because this hair mask is super rich in moisture i needed to shampoo it out to
ensure my curls wouldn't be weighed down but feel free to play it by ear you can use this
hair mask after shampooing and just rinse out with warm water if your curls need a
little bit more moisture you may not even need to use a leave-in conditioner with that method
maximum i use this deep conditioner twice a month to balance out and strengthen my curls a full
