Looking At Natural Relaxers For Black Hair

By Nancy Gardner


For some women, regular visits to the salon are the order of the day while others go in only when the occasion is special. Those who do not go in regularly may be meaning to save some money as far as hair care is concerned. Professional hair care services can be costly especially for those with long hair. To avoid all the hassle, you can try natural relaxers for black hair and give your hair a salon-like experience.

Relaxers which are home-made are less costly than getting the job done in the salon. However, do not put your scalp and the health of your hair at risk for a few bucks. That is why before you undertake this you need to know the exact procedure and follow it to the later. Lime and coconut milk are the most popular non-chemical relaxers for black hair. The recipe of creating them is very interesting.

At some point in life, black women wish to have straight hairs. This may be just out of wanting to have the experience or a desire to eliminate the kinkiness of the hairs. It ends up being softer than it was before and forms waves. The outcome is breathtaking.

Commercially made hair relaxers contain chemicals and many a times they have left some women with sorrowful stories to tell. For some, it may be a bald scalp while for others it is burns on the scalp which may have left them bed-ridden. Using these relaxers is a risk and you will be worried of the number of things which may go wrong throughout the process. Natural relaxers can save you the worry.

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 first method uses a mixture of milk from coconut and lime. The solution is left to sit for a couple of hours until it foams. It is the foam which is scooped and applied on the mane. After sitting for some hours, it is washed off. The disadvantage of this method is that the foam may break down and run off and also the lime and coconut milk are required in large quantities.

The next ones require addition of cornstarch and olive milk to the mixture made in the first method. Cornstarch should be just one spoon or two. The resulting mixture is whisked under low heat until good consistency is achieved. This means it will be able to remain on the mane. The olive oil added works to hydrate the mane.

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.
