Natural Hair Relaxer Recipes
 
Olive Oil
Looking for natural ways to relax your wavy, curly and kinky mane? Think olive oil! Just take about ¼ cup of olive oil and warm it. Gently massage your hair with the warm oil, making sure to cover the entire length of your hair. Now wrap your hair with a warm towel and apply added heat to it by blowing a hair dryer over it for 5-10 minutes. Keep the towel on for 1-2 hours before rinsing off the oil with a good shampoo and conditioner for sleek, straight and shiny hair.
 
Coconut Cream
Another classic natural hydrating relaxer is coconut cream, extracted from mature coconut meat. It is not just highly relaxing but highly replenishing too. Just take 4 tbsp of melted coconut cream and mix it with 2 tbsp of coconut oil and 12 oz of fat free yogurt to whip up the relaxer. Apply it on the hair, covering the roots to tips and leave it on for an hour. Wash it off with a good shampoo and a conditioner.
 
Milk
Another natural healthy way to get super straight, super silky strands is to douse your curls with the goodness of milk. Just pour about 1/3 cup of milk into a hair-spritz bottle and spray it liberally on your hair. Leave it on for twenty minutes and rinse it off with a good shampoo followed by a deep conditioner to get ravishing hair. For extra shine, you can add a teaspoon of honey to a cup of milk and massage your scalp and hair with the mixture. Keep it on for two hours and then rinse off.
 
Cocoa Butter
Apart from smoothening out the surface of your strands, cocoa butter also offers a protective coat to your mane. Just grab a tin of cocoa butter and apply it directly on your hair and scalp. Wrap your hair with a damp hot towel and keep it on for an hour or two before rinsing it off with shampoo.
 
Honey
Pamper your perm with a honey concoction to get super smooth strands. All you will need is a cup of honey, ½ cup of olive oil, ½ a cup of lemon juice and ½ cup caramel. Mix all the ingredients together and apply it on your hair. Rinse off after half an hour for naturally relaxed, smooth hair.
