Looking At Natural Relaxers For Black Hair

By Nancy Gardner


Many women will concur that professional hair care is very expensive. The frequency of visiting the salon depends on the income level of a person. Those who can afford it go for these services regularly but for the rest, salon hair care is sought only when the occasion is special. For the women with long hair, the rates are high than the normal ones and natural relaxers for black hair can save the day without having to spend much.

Making your own hair relaxer at home will save you a considerable amount which could have been spent in the salon. Nevertheless, you should make sure you adopt a safe technique in doing this to avoid injury to your scalp and damage to your mane. The most common natural kind of relaxers is the coconut milk and also lime. Creating the recipe of these products is quite exciting.

It is the wish of every black woman to have straight hairs at some point in life. Some may be just curious to have the experience while for some it may be the desire to take the kinks off the hairs leaving it with beautiful waves and a soft texture.

Chemical relaxers have been associated with many demerits and sometimes can even leave you bald. Instead of having to worry about the possible things which can go wrong if you were to use chemicals to relax you hairs you can just go natural and still achieve the same results peacefully.

The natural relaxers have been used over the centuries. This is a guarantee that they do work and are safe to use. They give the mane a silky texture and leave it softer than it was before. The first method is much easier to carry out but the next one produces better result and the waste produced in the process is not that much.

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. Another drawback with this method is the possibility of the foam breaking down and becoming runny. It will not be effective this way.

A better method is involves addition of 1 or 2 spoons of cornstarch and olive oil to the lime-coconut milk mixture. These products are whipped together under minimal heat until the consistency gets to the level of the conditioners made commercially. This ensures that once it is applied on the hairs it will not run off like the mixture in the first method. Olive oil is for maintenance of good hydration levels of the hairs.

After the application process is complete, the hairs should be wrapped using a plastic mane cap for some hours. On removal, it has to be washed with a mane shampoo and moisturizing follows. The results are amazing and you can then style the hairs as you wish.
