Benefits Of 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.

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 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 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.

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.
