Goya Coconut Smoothie

 

There are tons of recipes that call for a can of coconut milk: flan, creamy shrimp, coconut curry, hair elixir…yep that’s right. Hair-elixer.

If you have dry hair nothing adds shine and moisture like a little coconut milk.
I prefer to do this treatment before I wash my hair. When the elements wreck havoc, too much sun, or heat, putting coconut on my hair and leaving it to “marinate” for a while, helps to combat dry, brittle hair. I sometimes leave it on over night.

I then wash hair with a gentle shampoo and roller set, as usual. Without failure, my hair comes out suave.

    Quick question on the Coconut Milk, Mamita. I have a can already, do I just pour it on? Is it thick enough to hold? Or should I mix it with something? I plan on doing it this weekend and can’t wait. I’ve been a little lax lately, and I need to get back on my regimens!
    Thanks, girl!

    Hey guapa! I owe you an email, just been bogged down like crazy.
    Coconut milk is thin, watery, kinda like leche, milk. So, you may want to spoon it on, or just put some in your palms and rub on.
    I have gotten into the shower and poured half of a can on one side of my head (slowly to make sure that I get it all covered), then the other half of the other half of my head and worked it in.

    You can mix it with avocado if you want to thicken it up; then you’ll have a double smoothie!

    Besos!

    Hey Mama,
    Did the coconut smoothie and LOVED it! You know I love to OD so I mashed an avocado and mixed the milk with that and grapeseed, olive and coconut oils. Like you say, may hair came out SUAVE! Very shiny, strong with great curl definition. It was EXTRA dry, but now it definitely feels re-hydrated.
    Thanks for the recipe!

    You cannot go wrong with leche de coco, or avocado, but I love your little extras…the oils.
    I have to try this myself!

    Besos

    Dry hair? Moisturize as much as you possibly can.
    I can’t say that they dye is the culprit, but doubt it helped. Also, on a side note, I think black is too harsh of a color on anyone, unless you’re goth ;)

    Glad you like that site mamita! Make sure you come back to let me know what products you picked up and how they’re working for you.

    myspace? Not yet…LOL. I’m still learning how to post videos on youtube LMAO.

    Yes, just a can of coconut milk, but you can always add your favorite creme conditioner, or oil to it.
    I personally, like the coconut by itself, but that depends on how dry my hair is. If my hair is really dry, I add olive oil, or coconut oil (not the fragrance, the real deal from the health food store).

    Keep me posted,

    Do you think this would work well on relaxed hair???

  12.  

    Absolutely! This works well on relaxed, natural, curly and really dry hair.
    It may be too heavy for those with naturally straight hair.
