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.

Relaxing your mane at home using products which you have been made locally can save you considerable amount of money. However, as you go on with this, make sure that you observe safety measures to avoid accidents which may leave your scalp injured or the hairs damaged. Lime and milk from coconut are the popular products used in relaxing the mane naturally.

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.

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 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 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.

The other method is adding olive oil to the coconut milk and lime mixture. One or two spoonfuls of cornstarch are needed too. The ingredients are whisked together over low heat until consistency like that of store-bought conditioners is achieved. This is to make sure it does not run off when it is applied on the hairs. The olive oil is added to maintain hydration of 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.
