# Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes

MY NOTES
#Again, I was impressed with this mix which was an alteration from an earlier recipe. Its something I would buy in a store. The coconut milk powder made it come out light and creamy. Its works great on my dry hair. But you may not be able to tell how much you're using when applying it to wet hair.
#This would be great to make into a spray leave in condish. Just figure out how much water you want to use, then add a few hunks of this mix to it. Shake and use. If you want to make something which will last longer, add preservative to the amount of water you want to use. Then add hunks of this mix to it. Shake well.
