DIY Homemade Deep Conditioner for Protein Sensitive Natural Hair - Coconut Milk

[@keebrew1007]

Whitney gurl, you have been my savior! I started to grow out my relaxer in 2011. In 2012 I was diagnosed with breast cancer and by Feb 2013 I was completely bald. I now have a head full of natural curly hair. Not sure of the type but it's tightly coiled, soft and thick when it's not stretched out. I started watching your tutorials about two months ago. Your hair was/is extremely long. I recently stumbled upon your BC videos and was completely amazed at how long your hair is today from your BC a few years ago. My length is about chin length when it's in its curly stage. I am following your videos from that stage and you have given me so many wonderful ideas. Thanks Sistah Gurl!!!! BTW you have a beautiful family. I loved the Pats gear!! Yes, I am from Boston too!!! Keep up the great work girl!! God Bless Keitha B.

Hey Guys!! You'll know you're protein sensitive if your hair feels dry, brittle, or is broken after applying a protein-rich product or deep conditioner! For example, my DIY Mayo and Greek Yogurt DCs are SUPER protein-rich. My hair likes that and feels stronger and healthier after application. Someone with a protein sensitivity is going to feel the opposite: lots of damage, dull strands, straw-like texture, etc... If you haven't experienced this already and you've used a protein-rich product, it's likely you don't have a protein sensitivity! XoXo!

[@HeebieFeebies]

I appreciate finally seeing this post that's made not only from easy to find ingredients, but VEGAN ingredients! Thank you so much! I know you probably didn't plan on making this vegan, but I appreciate it all the same. Thank you, Whitney!

[@kerducky]

GREAT video Whitney! I'm not sure if I'm protein sensitive, I'll have to look deeper into that! I had no idea aloe vera juice can strengthen your hair, I'm learning so much! Today was hair wash day and between your video and the wonderful kikicouture10 Straight to Curly/DC video I watched earlier, I've got so many treatments I want to try! I don't eat bananas but I will have to buy them for my hair! I don't consume honey either but I sure did buy some to put on my hair and I'm sure I'll do the same for avocados, yogurt, eggs and olive oil! My sister was already asking to use my honey when she visited and I'm like "naw that's hair honey!" and I'm pretty sure I'll be like "no those are my hair eggs and yogurt!" Thanks for sharing and what a FABULOUS twist out my friend, your hair definitely looked super duper moisturized! I hope you guys have a WONDERFUL week, and GREAT vlog today too!

Hey Nap! First off...you are the bomb! My sis and I were talking about how much we love your videos and try everything you say. Lol! Anyways, this is a none hair related question but doesn't it get annoying to get asked questions you've already answered? Do you ever think...did you watch my video on mute? Lol! Seriously though I do have a few questions: 1) how can I tell if I'm protein sensitive 2) is this a leave in & 3) what did you do after you rinsed out the conditioner? Lol! Jk. Beautiful hair as usual. Thank you for everything you share with us and not being selfish when you learn more! Just ordered the curlformer dupe & I'm excited to try them. Oh, & I love this condish...did it last week & I'm approaching the end of my 3 min now (2nd x). Hairs loving it :)

[@ohmyjue582]

Atiya Barlow this is nor a leave in and if your ok with the banana smell then just use ur conditioner to was it out but I use a sulfate free shampoo cus the banana smell is a little strong and if ur hair feels Luke hey after u wash with a protien rich deep conditiinder ur probably protien sensitive it use to many protien rich products ...hope I helped

[@whitneymartin7964]

I have curly hair but it super super super dry! What do you recommend other than this treatment ...shampoo, conditoners and so on? also, what do you recommend for hair growth?

[@ICJC6]

Whitney Martin I have very dry hair also. I use L'Oreal's EverSleek "Sulfate free smoothing system." It is the one in the orange bottles for "frizzy unruly hair" haha. I really like this line because it is very gentle if you want to use the shampoo (only on the scalp), and the conditioner is nice and mosturizing and has great slip. The formula's are sulfate, silicone, and paraben free. I have looked into their types that say they are formulated for curly hair, but they have silicones or aren't sulfate free.

Just wanted to let you know I just tried this, and Wow! I added one scoop of fenugreek and slippery elm bark powder and left it in for 30 minutes with a hot (Well, pretty warm not Hot!) cap. It really made my hair super soft! I'm going to share the rest with my family and some elderly neighbors. Thank you so much!

[@heywaitMarlee]

I seriously tweaked this recipe using treseme naturals conditioner as a base, half of an avocado (I am allergic to bananas) half a can of low fat coconut milk (bought at the 99cent store), honey, grapeseed and rosemary oil. Let me tell you, my hair hasn't felt so soft and shiny in ages. Thank goodness for Whitney ***** for coming up with this recipe because it works some insane magic in the hair of this protein sensitive natural. Would have never thought to try this recipe or tweak it if not for ms Whitney.

My review on this treatment: I did it exactly as described and it loosened my curls and defined them. The one thing that shocked me was how smooth my ends were!! I did my big chop a month ago and my ends were super frizzy, dry to the touch and even felt hard and different from the rest of my hair. The next day when my hair dried...my ends are no longer feeling that way!!! OMG Will be using this again and again and again! Thank You!

[@PureNatural206]

What I truly enjoy about your videos is that hair type never comes to mind when I'm watching your videos. Your videos always make me incredibly determined & believe that I really can get my hair to be as healthy & beautiful as yours (even though I totally love my kinks). According to the Hair Typing Chart, I'm 4C & it's a popular belief that my hair isn't as pretty or will never reach the length your hair has. But I just shake out my hair & continue. Why? Because of natural hair leaders like you. Thanks for continuously restoring my hope~

[@ceelyn]

I made this last night and used it on a section of my hair (I'm unbraid, deep conditioning, then rebraiding my hair quarter sections at a time) and this stuff is literally amaziiiiinng! This morning my hair had NO tangles, it was soft and smelled delicious! I have never gotten those results from store bought deep conditioners!

[@MadamAngelique]

I did this treatment yesterday and my hair feels amazing today! So soft and moisturized--even after I blow dried. I hate bananas so I gagged while putting it in my hair, but this is definitely a keeper. Thanks!

[@tasha_0929]

I'm going to try this for my 5 year old we've tried so many conditioners and I still haven't found a good one. I'm so glad I followed you for the past year and a half, my hair has grown so much thank you thank you for being such a beautiful person and you just helped me so much so I could get back to my old self.

[@bejai1962]

Love, love, love this conditioner!!! Two weeks ago I made this conditioner I left it on for probably 3 hours as I cleaned, cooked and loafed around the house with my head wrap in a towel to hold the heat in. When I took the plastic cap off I LOVED how soft, and surprising tangle free, my hair felt. The smell of bananas was AMAZINGLY YUMMY. Since it was optional I just rinsed, I did not was the conditioner out. This past weekend I left the conditioner in for maybe 1 hour and this time I washed it out. I was not as happy with the end results. So, I already have a banana browning and I hope to find a nice ripe avocado today so I can repeat this weekend, leaving the conditioner in as I did the first week. Thank you for so much for advise given freely. Blessings to you and yours.

Just made this using both the banana and avocado...didn't pay attention. I was gonna toss it and start over but I saw that others did the same with no problem.

I haven't a clue what protein sensitivity is about, but you deserve a thumbs up. i like the way you explain things, the positive energy you put into your videos, you seem to be so kind and generous and i want to thank you for that.

[@Naptural85]

Thank you Cin Derella !! Protein sensitivity is when you use a product, or mixture on your hair that contains high amounts of protein, or even low amounts, and instead of getting strong, shiny hair, your hair becomes brittle, dry, straw-like or even broken. If you've ever used a protein treatment in your hair and your hair wasn't damaged as a result, then you're not protein sensitive!

[@preciouslafleur5390]

Thanks sooooooo much this conditioner is awesome!!!! I tried it last Sunday for myself and my daughters for our co wash and the results were a-m-a-z-i-n-g. I applied it as a co wash, and because it's for 3 of us I used 3 bananas, 2 cups of Aloe Vera Juice, and a full can of Coconut milk. As far as oils go I used Castor oil Argan Oil( my new go to oil. My hair looooves it), Olive Oil, Tea Tree Oil, and honey. I also used your co washing method. I have been protein sensitive all my life. I have used every protein conditioner known to man. I even used your yogurt conditioner and they all left my hair feeling the same way extremely stiff and dense. I eat slot of protein, but still have problems with breakage. Hopefully this will help a lot. I cannot thank you enough!!!

[@guapaguapo]

So happy to hear about someone addressing "protein sensitivity." Although I am not certain if I have a protein sensitivity & will have to test a small area of hair to determine if I do, has anyone ever heard of an "oil sensitivity"? After using oils, I definitely experience the same negative characteristics (i.e. straw hair, dry stringy strands that feel like they have been stripped & broken to one dry strand that is experiencing breakage, & overall, hair that starts thinning & shedding) that Naptural85 mentions when describing "protein sensitivity." I experience these negative characteristics when I do a hot oil treatment with my hair using extra virgin olive oil, definitely when I use almond oil, and/or with avocado oil, coconut oil & macadamia nut oil used in a mixture. Even when I use all of these oils mixed with Shea butter to make a concoction similar to Naptural85's Shea butter mix, I definitely experience those negative characteristics two days after I take out braids or twists outs after using the oils mixed with Shea butter. With all this said, Naptural85 do you think I have an "oil sensitivity"? I would also love to hear anyone else's comments of feedback as well regarding an "oil sensitivity" & if it exists or if I am experiencing some other kind of problem. Thank you Naptural85 (aka Whitney :) for all the wonderful, helpful, informative videos. Always a pleasure to see your beautiful family & that gorgeous little baby girl as well. Keep 'em coming! :)

[@QuEeN-uy6lg]

I have never heard of oil sensitivity, I would try teating oils one by one to check out the one causing this. Also oil is not a moisturizer it seals in moisture so if your not adding a moisturizer before oil then your hair is going to be dry. If you find that your hair doesnt like any then there are many replacements to oil for sealing in moisture ei butter, creams, lighter sealants etc ☺️😊

[@Mickeii617]

Decided to go back to my roots. I have been watching some of your old videos. I cannot believe this was 6yrs ago.

[@fobfan17]

omg so happy! I just finished using this. It smells sooooo good. I was so tired of smelling mayo and nasty raw eggs, the greek yogurt was a bit better smelling, but still not pleasant. This smells like a yummy fruity drink and it's super hydrating to my thick combo 4b/4c hair. My curls are just bouncing all around. I also replaced the olive oil with red palm oil, Super Hydrating. But be careful with red palm oil though, it stains clothes lightly.

Okay so I just tried this and my hair loved it! Mine was a super runny because the coconut milk was really runny, no solids.

Hello Whitney I just love your channel. I've been watching you since I started my hair journey. I had to come tell you that I tried this mixture and my hair loved it. The only problem I had is I made way too much, but that's fine I just found an old jar and put it in the fridge for later. This homemade conditioner is the best by far (for my hair) and the smell OMG. The moisture last for about 4 days before I had to re-moisturize my hair. Thank you Whitney. Keep the videos coming. They are so helpful.

[@bonafidebeauty5528]

Dumb question but what does protein sensitive mean?!

[@blackvelvet411]

Essentially, it means when you apply protein rich products, your hair becomes extremely dry and brittle so you constantly have to read product lists to determine the amount of protein in it to see if it will work for your hair.

[@ReneeDreamz55]

Aloe Vera juice is amazing! I've incorporated it into my wash day routine & my hair is stronger shinier & I experience less breakage. Can't wait to try this!!!

[@LoveGTV]

Mine came out really watery, couldn't find coconut milk as thick. Still used it though. Waiting to see the results in the AM! Lol.

[@soulisrael6823]

if u store coconut mil, in the fridge it will thicken. u can also buy coconut CREME.

[@pamhardi4266]

It depends on what you buy - some brands are made to stay liquidy because Western markets like them better. They have different additives that prevent the Coconut milk from becoming so solid. My favorite brand comes from an Asian market and only has coconut and water listed on the ingredients. Ingredients lists are super handy. :)

Wow, love it. I love it. My hair is officially past my boobs and in the middle of my back. You have really helped me with my hair journey so far, keep it up, love ya gurl

[@starryrih]

So I made this and it came out super watery, im guessing i used too much aloe vera juice, but nonetheless, i used it anyway. I dont waste anything around here. I put on my bonnet dryer for 15 minutes, rinsed, and apply oil. boy was my hair soft! Besides the Darcy's Botanicals Pumpkin Seed Conditioner, this is the only deep conditioner that got my hair really soft and moisturized. Thanks for this amazing recipe!

What is the song/ instrumental used in this video?

[@embracelifewithemily]

A Sunny Day With You by Dean Wagg!

[@motherofcurlz6897]

Wow! This conditioner really gave you nice results. Your hair came out so shiny and moisturized. I have to give this a try. Thanks for the tip

[@XenaCallisto]

No hair is truly protein sensitive, just make sure you're using the correct form of protein aka a Hydrolyzed wheat protein. This is the only protein with a low enough molecular weight to penetrate the hair shaft. Using stuff like eggs and mayo as a protein treatment isn't going to do anything but make your hair hard and lead you to believe you are "protein sensitive", which isn't true! Hope this helps.

[@irresistiblelipZ]

where can I get more info about that?

[@XenaCallisto]

Check out GreenBeautyChannel's video on a 'Real Protein Treatment'. Here's a link to a hydrolyzed wheat protein with a short description of how/why it works: greenbeautyproducts.com/real-protein-treatment/ And, of course, take some time to do your own research on this protein and draw your own conclusions from the science of it. Hope this helps :)!

[@luluwakz]

When I use anything with hydrolysed wheat protein in it my hair crunches up immediately! That said, everybody's hair is different

[@XenaCallisto]

^^That said, you're either using too much or using it in combination with another product that is incompatible with your hair.

[@christalmija]

I disagree my babies hair is nothing less than protein resistant it wants nothing to do with even the smell of protein a benefit is her strains are super strong

[@pebblesbrown2308]

Tried this and I absolute LOVED this and it made my extreme 4C hair very soft and manageable. A must try!!!

[@JennellBarrett]

i love using banana in my hair but one time i actually forgot to strain it and ughh i got banana all over my hair :(. my hair felt really soft and defined but it took days until it was all out lol

[@MINDSatWORK911]

thank you.. i did this deep cond. yesterday and it was amazing i bought like 5 cans of it again

[@sadej8831]

How do you know if you're protein sensitive?

[@jeromy-wb2wn]

Sadé J if u apply a protein hair product and your hair feel wired straw like scratchy and crunchy😖

[@msedmocsu]

I love the way you explain the benefits of each ingredient and how you take us through the process step by step👏❤

[@meaningful_lost157]

i had to skip the aloe vera juice im gonna use jamaican oil as a subsitute :/

[@Syrease]

Love this! My hair has stayed soft for 4 days now. My hair is very dry, so this is a first. Thank you!

[@zg6700]

I think your conditioner is for protein insensitive hair.

[@peridotta]

I agree. the banana and the coconut milk has protein.

[@Shortcake39553]

your hair is so shiny and gorgeous that i will be trying this on myself and my daughters, thanks for the tutorial.

[@ayahcollins648]

I have BOTTLES like 2-liter bottles of Argan Oil from Morrocco because that's where my family and I are from HMU if you want some

[@nickthomas888]

um can I take you up on that

[@liannejones4858]

Me too ! From Trinidad lolol

[@parshanelson7020]

Lianne Jones Hi do you know where I can get actual pure Argan Oil from?

[@Tomina30]

I was trying to "fix" my naturally highly porous hair with protein and realized I am very sensitive. I'm going to try this DC mix without the protein ingredients. Thank you.

[@FunShineGirl19]

your hair is just so perfect!! like i saw some videos of your hair when it was shorter and i would of never known that it would turn out like this not saying it was bad in the begging just saying that with time you can get AMAZING results like this! im starting my natural hair journey for the second time and i hope this time i can do it! i feel like this time around I'm more committed ^.^

[@gigimc]

ooh! gotta try! not sure if I'm protein-sensitive but your curls look so luscious & drenched afterwards! this is a winter hair must

[@fearfullyw0nderful]

I used this on my 4C hair this past Sunday... it still feels like butter!!! Thank you! Only problem was I thought I had washed out everything but noticed little white particles in my hair after and had to go back in the shower and co-wash it out...I have a feeling it may be because of the coconut milk brand I used. My mixture also ended up being less thick than how yours looks in the video. Going to buy a shower mirror like you suggested and will definitely be trying it again next month :)

[@theidragardiner1064]

This recipe worked very well for my protein sensitive hair except I had to also tweak it a bit. I used 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon coconut milk (the rest I used for cooking :) ), 1 tablespoon avocado oil, 1 tablespoon grape seed oil, 1 teaspoon jamaican black castor oil. I put it in the fridge for a few minutes so it can be more solid. I then put in in my hair, used a handheld/travel hair steamer for 5 minutes (which you use to steam clothes) then covered my hair with a shower cap for another 25 minutes.

[@Michelle-pn9xt]

Why did you only use one teaspoon of coconut milk?

[@RaSheedapower]

I am so glad my coworker told me about your channel I must do this ASAP!!! Thank you for spreading this knowledge

[@vatynakennebrew]

I do not believe I am "protein sensitive". I am not sure if I know what that means. An explanation would be good if possible, but I am adding this conditioner to my list of go to's. I value your ideas tremendously. Thanks!

[@eg038889]

I tried this homemade conditioner and my hair felt and looked so freaking soft. It was also the first time, in a long time, that my hair was actually flat and smooth, thus giving it that beautiful shine!! This will definitely be a staple for my 4 b/c hair. I tried the egg, mayo, honey concoction you posted years ago and had a bad experience with my hair coming out easily. Thank you so much for sharing!! Now, what to do with this leftover coconut milk...

[@jahmeshacoffie1606]

I love watching your videos, you are always so happy. When I have a bad hair day or feeling down watching your videos always put a smile on my face
