Natural Hair Cronicles: DIY Coconut Milk Conditioner

Lately, I've been having issues with my hair retaining moisture. I guess it's probably this ridiculously cold weather in Georgia. Due to lack of moisture, I've also been experiencing a lot of shedding and breakage. So I started experimenting with a few products and found something that really works. Now before I actually list the recipe, please note that I am not a professional. I'm just a girl trying to figure out what works for my hair. One thing that I've learned throughout my natural hair journey is that all natural hair is not created equally. What may work for some may not work for you. It's all trial and error. If it works for you, GREAT! If not, just keep trying. I promise you'll figure it our sooner or later.

Coconut Milk Deep Conditioner

Ingredients
2 tablespoons Coconut Milk
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Shea Butter
1 tablespoon Raw Honey
1/4 cup of conditioner of you choice

Step 1: Heat the shea butter and raw honey together in the microwave for 30 seconds or until it has melted.

Step 2: Add the rest of the ingredients and stir until the mixture is completely smooth.

Step 3: Apply to hair and finger comb from root to end. After applying, I like to twist my hair in sections to avoid tangling. This is completely optional.

Step 4: Let hair set under a plastic cap or bag for 1-2 hours.

Step 5: Comb through with wide tooth comb.

Step 6: Rinse. 

Crochet Oval Bow

Printable Version

Materials

I Love This Cotton OR Lily Sugar n' Cream
Size G hook
Tapestry needle

*Note* This pattern is worked in rounds.

Start with slip knot and ch 12

Rnd 1: dc in 4th ch from hk and in next 7 chs, dc 7 in last ch, pull the tail of the slip knot to tighten the hole.

Working along the opposite side of the chain dc in next 7 chs, dc 5 in last ch, slst to top of beginning ch-3 (28 dc).

Rnd 2: ch 1, dc in next 11 sts, dc 3 in next 3 sts, dc in next 11 chs, dc 3 in next 3 sts, slst to first dc (40 dc).

Rnd 3: *ch 3, slst in next st, repeat from * around, slst to slst from last round, fasten off, weave in ends. Close the second hole from round 1 by sewing together the loops on the back of the bow.

The bow probably will not lay flat but that's okay because once we apply the center it will lay perfectly.

Bow center

ch 4

Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hk and in each ch across, ch 1, turn.

Row 2-8: sc in each st across, ch 1, turn. Fasten off after row 8 leaving about a 6 inch tail.

Assembly

Pinch the center of the bow and wrap the bow center around it. Sew both of ends of the bow center together and weave in the ends.

All done!

I adding a hair clip to the back of the bow. Here's Laiyanna modeling for me. Smile :-)

Enjoy!
