Cashew Milk Hair & Scalp Treatment
Cashew's high natural lipid concentration makes this an especially effective treatment for genuinely coarse or brittle hair, where lighter milk bases might not deliver enough conditioning.

Ingredients
- Phase A (Aqueous Phase)
- ½ cup (120 mL / 120g) Unsweetened Cashew Milk
- Phase B (Lipid / Active Phase)
- 2 tbsp (30 mL / 28g) Argan Oil
- 1 tbsp (15 mL / 21g) Raw Honey
Method & application
- Whisk cashew milk and raw honey together until fully integrated.
- Drizzle in argan oil while whisking continuously to form an emulsion.
- APPLICATION
- Work the treatment through damp hair from scalp to ends.
- Cover with a shower cap and wrap in a warm towel for 20 minutes. Shampoo and rinse clean.
Kitchen note
The warm towel wrap matters more here than in lighter treatments, cashew's fat content benefits significantly from the added warmth to fully soften and penetrate coarse hair strands.
