One conditioning treatment definitely didn’t fix all the damage done by years of blow drying, flat irons, and curling irons but if I used this on a regular basis, I know I would see a very noticeable difference.Tip: If you use coconut oil you may need to warm it first. I don’t have super curly hair, but the back is pretty wavy and tends to be kind of frizzy. So the big question is…did it work? I could definitely feel a difference! My hair was softer and silkier than normal. I ended up washing my hair twice because it still felt a little greasy after one wash. I then let my hair air dry. I put my hair up in a shower cap and let the conditioner sit for about 45 minutes. So you’ll just have to imagine me in my bathroom at 10 o’clock at night with no make-up on and my hair covered in goopy conditioner. ![]() Normally I would post step-by-step photos of this process but I looked like kind of a hot mess doing this and just couldn’t bring myself to post that on the internet, haha. After my whole head was covered I ran a comb through to make sure the conditioner was spread out evenly. Then I rubbed it into my hair in sections. Now comes the application – I sort of just stuck my hand in the bowl and got some mixture on my hands. I threw mine in my Blendtec to insure they were mixed up really well but you can just as easily mix them by hand. Mix all of your ingredients together in a small bowl or blender. 2-3 drops rosemary or lavender essential oil.1/4 cup coconut milk (Make sure to mix up the coconut milk when you open the can so you don’t get a 1/4 cup of just the cream).So today you get a deep conditioner for curly hair and I’ll attempt a a leave-in conditioner sometime soon ) Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to create an actual DIY version of Miss Jessie’s before I needed to get this post done. It wasn’t until about 10pm Wednesday night that I decided to reread Catalina’s email and realized I had come up with a DIY for the completely wrong product! Eeek! Miss Jessie’s is actually a leave-in conditioner that is supposed to create really soft curls instead of crunchy ones. Couture. With a blog name like that I figured Tifani had to know what she was talking about! So I set to work modifying Tifani’s recipe a bit with things I had on hand. I found an intriguing recipe for a Coconut Milk Deep Conditioner on Kinky. So I set out to find a DIY product using coconut milk. The product is a whopping $22 a bottle! Catalina said she noticed that most of the products she’s seen for curly hair advertise coconut milk and coconut conditioners as ingredients. Jill got an email from a lovely reader named Catalina asking if we might be able to come up with a DIY version of a product called Miss Jessie’s Pillow Soft Curls. There was nothing else to do but turn to my daughter-in-law Kaitlyn who is not only an expert at keeping her hair absolutely BEAUTIFUL…but who also has CURLY hair! (My daughter Britta inherited my stick straight hair and wasn’t a good candidate either.) My heartfelt thanks to Kaitlyn for tackling this tangled topic! :-) Well, since I’ve only had stick STRAIGHT and/or FRIZZY hair my entire life….I felt this subject was a little outside my comfort zone. We recently had someone email us about making a DIY version of her favorite curl conditioner. ![]()
