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.

Every black woman has desired a straight hair at some point. Sometimes it is just because they want to experience how it feels to have a straight mane or it could be an attempt to do away with the kinks which are notorious in black mane. It becomes softer and a little wavy.

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 technique of relaxing hair has been popular for many years. Its safety and efficiency have been confirmed. The mane ends up looking silky and becomes softer. The common methods used in relaxing black hair naturally are two. The first one is easy to follow but the second one gives you a better outcome and the waste produced is minimal.

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 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.
