The procedure starts with mixing the lime juice with half a cup coconut milk. The solution is allowed to sit for some hours until a foam layer appears on the top. The foam is scooped and applied on the hairs. It is left for a couple of hours and then the mane is washed. However, you will need a lot of lime juice and milk in order to get good results.
