I used Dannon Oikos Greek yogurt—with 11 to 15 g of protein per 5.3-oz serving an excellent source of protein, while regular yogurt contains about 5 g of protein per 5.3 oz. Apparently the straining process leaves more of the milk solids, which results in a denser product with a higher protein level than that of regular yogurt. So it was thick, easy to apply and as I added it to sections (about 6) I twisted my hair and separating the tangled section to twist is just slipped into two without any tangles! I had planned to leave the yogurt in for 30 mins but with hubby away, two kids sleeping I started painting... Ya! So 1.5 he's later the thick 2% yogurt just felt like it wasn't leaving my hair - so I caved and used low poo to ensure I wouldn't be smelling like spoiled milk tomorrow! Ugh!
I avoided adding yogurt to my scalp, and avoided low pooing my scalp as well. I've found with other deep conditioning treatments my scalp hates it and I feel all messed up for like a week!!!!
I must also say I've been ACV ing about every two days wearing NY hair curly and trying a but of WO... Its not working, my scalp hates getting wet. Thus my currently dried out hair needed a protein wash, to be followed by my usual straight routine so I can oil and brush my hair back into better shape!
Update:
Just woke up and my hair is suuuuper soft!!

... and fly away and although not dry, it's shiny and just not happy.
I'll flat iron it today so I can start brushing and oiling it again. Too much WO this past two weeks - not happy!
