By . - Wednesday, February 02, 2011
So we know that it is not possible to straighten curly hair without either a chemical or heat. Perhaps you're not interested in straightening your beautiful curls. You may just want to loosen them up a bit. Try out these 'Natural Hair Relaxer' options below. If nothing else I'm sure your hair would be super shiny and soft with a bit of these ingredients.

Coconut and lime treatment:
1 tin of coconut milk2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons of lime juice
2-3 tablespoons of cornstarch
Cherrylola treatment:
2 part yogurt1/2 part baking soda
1/2 part Braggs Amino Acids

Baking soda loosener:
1/2 cup of baking soda1 cup conditioner
leave on for about an hour then rinse out.
Yogurt/Honey/Bananas mix:
1/2 cup yogurt(or sour cream)
2 tablespoons honey
1 mashed banana
2 tablespoons honey
1 mashed banana
**Try organic baby banana food to save some elbow grease.*

I don't know about you all, but I have my eye on that coconut and lime treatment.
It's got my name written all over it.

Hi, have u tried any of these as yet? Did any work to loosen ur curls? What is ur curl pattern naturally?
ReplyDeleteHello Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteI'm actually doing a baking soda deep condition right now, and I added a bit of coconut oil to it for added benefit. My natural curl pattern is a 3C to 4A in certain parts. The baking soda deep condition leaves my hair ultra soft and makes the curls pop.
I will post pictures when I am done. Cheers
Hey!
ReplyDeleteI just came upon this site and I got sooo excited that I went and bought the ingredients right after :D! I was wondering...seeing as it says that over time this can help to soften the curls a little do you think that if I were to use rollers while I have the ingredients in my hair I could help "guide" (sorry but I can't think of a better word) to maintain a certain structure? I have mainly type 3c curly hair with some areas a little less curly and some a little more and I have a lot of shrinkage after my hair dries. When it is wet it goes a little down my back and once dry it is shoulder length. So I was thinking that maybe if I use rollers to the size that I would like my curls to be it might gently help "guide" my hair...even if it does not set it in that way. Perhaps one of you has done this? I will try and do this myself but it will probably take time before it takes effect (if at all). I will keep you guys posted...but would be great if someone who has done this can let me know :D.
My hair is sort of 3B/3C and i really hope to just loosen theses curls JUST A BIT!!!!
