and the immediate results of salon-
Hot Oil Treatments are generally regarded

treated
hair are the main reasons why people opt for the straightening treatment. These
are some methods to get the kinks and curls out of hair, at home, using
ingredients from your shelves.
Hot Oil
Treatments
As a deep
conditioning treatment used to pamper and ‘cure’ damaged hair, these have also
the ability to relax naturally curly or wavy hair. In fact it can act as
straighteners do, providing the follicles with moisture.
Heat the
oil in a bowl, first detangle your hair and apply it to your hair. Cover your
head with a towel and leave it to take action for 15-30 minutes. Besides giving
sleekness to your hair, it will also give back its natural healthy glow. Go on
with this useful habit, repeating it once a week.
Coconut or Olive oil or Castor oil
Apply warm
olive or coconut oil on the hair and scalp. Cover the hair with a warm towel
and allow it to soak in for 30 minutes. Wash the hair and comb hair whilst wet.
Repeat the process at least thrice a week. Castor oil is also helpful in
straightening the hair.
Celery Leaves:
Chop a
bunch of celery leaves and extract juice by blending and straining through a
muslin cloth. Store this in a bottle overnight. Next day apply the juice to
length of hair and scalp. Comb with a broad toothed comb so that all the hair
is covered and leave it on for an hour. Rinse hair well. Blow dry gently, using
a circular brush with natural bristles.

Milk :
A very
popular technique is to mix ½ cup of water with ½ a cup of milk and pour this
into a spray bottle. Comb out the tangles before starting. Spray this milk on
hair and scalp. Comb again. Leave milk on for ½ hour before washing gently with
water. Comb with a broad toothed comb. Repeat this technique 2 -3 times a week.
Can blow dry with and brush for a finished look.
Fuller’s Earth :
Take a cup
of "Fuller’s Earth" or “Multani Mitti” and mix 1 egg white and 2
spoons of rice flour to this. Add water to make a paste which should be runny
enough to coat the hair but not flow at the same time. Leave for ½ hour and
comb with a wide toothed comb. Repeat this 2 -3 times. Wash hair with water and
a gentle shampoo after 2 hours.
Milk and Honey
These
ingredients also act as natural hair straighteners that nourish and protect
hair.
Add a
teaspoon of honey to a cup of milk, them mash some strawberries and also mix it
with the initial paste. Apply the creamy paste to your hair and leave it on for
at least 2 hours. Wash it off with shampoo, and then detangle your strands with
comb.
Olive oil with Egg
Both are
known to be the integral parts of hair care. But it is not known to many that
olive oil and egg together can do wonders on your hair. Beat two eggs and add
adequate amount of olive oil. Mix and apply to the hair. Wait for at least an
hour and then wash with a mild shampoo. All these natural products are easily
available around you. But you have to be patient. These will not work like a
hair straightening treatment at a salon. You have to make a hair care regime
and repeat any one of these straightening processes at least twice a week. Only
then you can find a marked difference in your hair after a few months. If your
hair is too curly and you want it to be straight, you have to visit a salon and
expose your hair to the harmful chemicals, which done regularly will damage
your hair.
Aloe Vera Gel Mask
Mix half
cup of warm oil (olive, coconut, and castor) with half cup of aloe Vera gel.
Mix in six drops of essential oil like rosemary and sandalwood. Massage the
mixture into the hair and scalp and wash off after 1 to 2 hours.
Egg White and Rice Flour mask
Make a
paste of one egg white, one cup of fuller’s earth, and five teaspoons of rice
flour. Apply the mix on the hair and comb through. Leave the mask on the hair
for one hour and wash off with a mild shampoo. Use this mask once a week for
few months.
Coconut oil and lemon juice
Grate a
coconut to extract the milk from it. Coconut milk has hair straightening
permanently properties. But if you add lemon juice to it, it will give you
better results. Refrigerate the mixture for a few hours. A creamy layer will be
produced on the top of the mixture. Apply that cream to your hair and wrap it
with a hot towel. Wait for at least one hour. Then, wash your hair with a mild
shampoo and dry it completely. You will rediscover your hair with added
softness. At the same time, your unruly curls will also become manageable.
Banana Mask
Make a
paste of two mashed bananas and two tablespoons each of natural yogurt, honey,
and olive oil. Add in one egg white. Apply the mask to the hair and cover with
a shower cap. Leave the mask on for 30 minutes and wash off.
