Benefits Of Natural Relaxers For Black Hair

By Nancy Gardner


Some women visit the salon often times but others go in scarcely. Salon services are very expensive and this is one of the reasons which make many of the potential clients shy away from these places in an attempt to cut on the budget of hair care. Those with long hair pay even up to double the normal rates. For those seeking other alternatives, natural relaxers for black hair may be the way to go.

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.

Commercially made hair relaxers are not the only option in relaxing the mane. In addition, because they are made from chemical, the possibilities of accidents while they are been applied is great. Some women have ended up bed-ridden after suffering from burns as a result of this chemical while others have been rendered bald in the process. Many things can go wrong when using the chemical relaxers and use of the natural type can save you the stress.

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, the mane has to be wrapped with a shower cap for some hours. The material of the cap should be plastic. When it is uncovered, it has to be shampooed and moisturized. The results are very good and the hairs is strengthened too.
