contribute to the irritating scalp and cause more dandruff; as a result, not many people
According to (ReHair, 2021), most hair products are made to give your hair
instant and very fast results. Toxic chemicals are used a lot during the manufacture of
the products. (ReHair, 2021) stated that chemicals are the most important of the
harmful ingredients in hair products, everyone is very pleased to see the final results
such as clean, shiny, plump, and smooth hair. However, this will also mean a quick
and short satisfaction, because after the side effects such as hair loss, especially
hormone imbalance and cancer risk can be observed. harmful chemicals for hair and
harmful ingredients in hair products can cause damage not only to the hair but also to

compound”, “the fatty acid can penetrate hair easily and has been suggested to help
strengthen the cuticle”. In short, (Purewow, 2020) stated that coconut milk may help
moisturize and strengthen existing hair ( which helps with overall retention) but may

a common problem: hair damage (Moore, 2022). Though time is limited, the
researchers’ goal was to attain freshness of the Coconut Milk Conditioner in the right
place beside the bathroom toiletries for a month. Nowadays, traditionally using
coconut milk for our hair seems like a hassle to many, and many strays away from
a high amount of sulfites and citric acid, preserves the coconut milk without the use of

This chapter presents the concepts regarding this capstone; the reviews of
related literature address the well-known common problem: hair damage, utilizing
coconut milk as a way to condition your hair, and preserving the coconut milk using
lemons in which they contain sulfites, and high amounts of citric acid.
Conceptual Literature
The structure of the hair is simple, our hair is made up of a protein called keratin. Hair
cleansers are hair care items that are usually used to clean the hair, though, problems
in mistreating hair cleansers include androgenetic alopecia, lack of hair, dandruff, etc.
(Fallon, 2017). In addition, many hair styling products (chemicals / excessive heat)
Hair is an important part of the human body. Hair is the highest glory of a
person who plays an important role in human life. You can determine which society
you belong to based on the color, type, and amount of hair. Hair also helps to give a
person confidence and pride, no matter what gender the person belongs to.
Maintaining and maintaining them, long or short, is one of all people's priorities.
Dry shampoos often cause dry hair. Clean, squeaky hair may be fine, but many
people over-wash their hair, sometimes once, sometimes twice, or once a day to
remove all the natural oils from the hair. Excessive brushing, excessive perming,

overheating, and lack of a good conditioner can lead to split ends. Sebum is produced
by the sebaceous glands and can work "overtime", leading to excess oil.

Coconut milk contains fat, protein, sodium, calcium, and potassium. Together,
they can improve blood circulation in the scalp. Therefore, coconut milk in particular
is one of the easiest and most nutritious forms that can be used to get gorgeous hair.
Coconut milk for hair offers a wide range of benefits. It even promotes hair growth.
Coconut milk is available on the market, but it's easy to prepare at home.
Coconut Milk and Coconut Oil: Their Manufacture Associated with Protein
Functionality
Coconut milk can be readily made in the comfort of our home, it can be done
by squeezing the grated meat of the coconut by hand. Coconut milk is an oil-in-water
emulsion, in which the continuous phase is essentially water and oil, dispersed. The
composition of coconut milk generally depends on the coconut meat used for
extraction. The composition of coconut milk depends on the coconut meat used for
extraction; the extraction efficiency and composition of the coconut milk from the
coconut meat are determined by the factors such as the temperature of the added water
and the state of squeezing out the contents of the coconut meat.
Differences in the ratio of water to coconut meat ranged from 1:1 to 20:1 and
did not affect the extraction of oil and protein into coconut milk (Dendy & Timmins,
1973). Thungkao (1988) also documented that protein contents were not affected by
temperatures (30 °C, 55 °C, and 80 °C) used for coconut milk extraction when the
grated coconut meat and water ratio of 1:1 were employed. However, the fat content
14
of coconut milk extracted at 55°C was the highest, while the fat content of coconut
milk extracted at 30°C and 80°C was not significantly different. Grisingha (1991)
compared the oil and protein extractability in coconut milk prepared using three
different methods including (1) twice pressing with water adding in the second time,
(2) twice pressing with water adding in both times, and (3) once pressing with water
adding. The protein and fat contents of extracted coconut milk were not significantly
different. Coconut milk extraction from a fresh coconut is the most important step in
sporulation (Oloyede and Abalaka, 1989), sulfite has a variety of other uses as a food
bleaching agent, as a color stabilizer for meats, vegetables, and fruits, to stabilize
ascorbic acid (vitamin C), and delays onset of oxidative rancidity and other oxidative
Wedzicha, 1984; Taylor et al., 1986; Ough, 1993; Sapers, 1993; Gould, 2000).
Synthesis
Taking care of our hair should not be neglected as it is part of how we look,
using commercial products to promote hair care is perfectly normal when used
correctly; though it could get expensive. A remedy that is used for this capstone,
utilizes the contents of coconut milk to promote hair care, which is used commonly in
meals and can be found in many households as it is cheap. Sulfite, which is found in

METHODOLOGY
Research Design
The project that the researchers are pursuing makes use of quantitative design
hedonic scale and preparing questionnaires and handing out the products to the
participants which will also involve statistical tests and analysis of the product.
The researchers had made batches of 7 cups of the Coconut Milk Conditioner
out of 5 total coconuts by squeezing the contents of the coconut meat by hand. Also,
the researchers did not use any sampling method because the ratio of water to coconut
meat is too random when done homemade as well as pointing to the fact that
Upon testing the viability of the Coconut Milk Conditioner the researchers
opted out for sensory evaluation, more on that in Instruments. The 5 participants who
will be tested by sensory evaluation are the researchers’ parents’ colleagues, hence the

The panelists were asked to assign the appropriate numerical score to each
product for characteristics of color, flavor, and overall acceptability of coconut milk.
The hedonic scale was used, then getting the median of the variables.

The Coconut Milk Conditioner samples were periodically (at 7-day intervals
from processing day up to 21 days) observed during storage for color, smell, texture,
and overall acceptance. Sensory evaluation of coconut milk was performed through

handed out with having 1 of each participant, the Google Forms are sent to the
participants for the sensory evaluation after a week, data analysis follows.
Data Analysis
With the use of google forms, the researchers used sensory evaluation as their
data collection, which is composed of: Color, Smell, Texture, and Overall Acceptance,
and then used the analysis of the variance (ANOVA) F test as our data analysis.
Regarding our research hypothesis, getting the value of F and comparing it with the F

Summary
This project aims to experiment and determine the use of lemon and tea on
coconut milk as preservatives to extend its shelf life without affecting the efficacy of
coconut milk. Lemon contains a high amount of sulfite and citric acid that helps the
preservation of coconut milk while giving its freshness and tea gives a fragrance to
the coconut milk. This project also includes the objectives of the project: To
the use of the home remedy conditioner alternative to save money, To determine
whether the coconut milk will last longer after preserving it with lemon juice. The
participants and to observe the coconut milk conditioner in 5 weeks and will be given
questionnaires every week from the survey forms containing a sensory evaluation of
appearance/ color, aroma/ smell, Texture and overall acceptance. The remaining two
bottles of coconut milk conditioner will be left with the researchers to test its
effectiveness.
In the process of this project, it applied quantitative design. Under this, the
quantitative aspects of the design was to utilize the hedonic scale, preparing
where Mr. Taraji's mother work colleagues and serve as our participants.

Conclusion
The conclusion of this project, concludes that the preservation of the coconut milk
with lemon and tea shows that it can last until 5 weeks. The data showed that the
coconut milk conditioner had a high score on week 1 and week 2 with its appearance,
smell and texture. Week 3 and 4 had a low score of appearance, smell and texture and
week 5 had a very low score with its appearance, smell and texture. The project
concludes that the coconut milk conditioner can be used until week 4 but not more
than another week since it can be skeptical to be used and the process of making the
conditioners is homemade.
Recommendations
Our Coconut Milk Conditioner is all-natural, so much so that you can add
coconut milk to your meals; though it has a strong lemon touch. Our coconut milk
conditioner must be used not more than Week 4 since, at Week 5, its dips below 6
