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.
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.
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 technique requires mixing of half a cup of milk from coconut with lime. The solution is given some time to foam. It is the foam which is applied on the mane. One of the challenges faced when this method is used is the possibility of certain foam consistency getting compromised. This makes it runny and it will not give good results.
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.
