How To Straighten Hair Naturally
Although straight hair may seem a bit too 'plain' for some, the truth is, it will never go out of style.
After all, it's probably the most versatile hair out there. It's extremely easy to pair with any of your outfits. It's also easy to care for and maintain compared to other hair types. Still, even those born with naturally straight hair can be faced with problems such as frizz and even 'flyaway' hair. Sometimes, there's even the occasional wave if you tied your hair too tight last night. Infuriating, right?
If you know exactly what we're talking about and are interested in how to straighten hair naturally, then you've come to the right article!
(Disclaimer: the tips written in this article may only work for those with straight hair or slightly wavy hair. Those with naturally curly hair may need a more permanent method of hair straightening to retain their straight hair.)
1. Conditioners are your best friend
We already talked about how you shouldn't wash your hair every day. But if you do wash your hair, make sure to condition it every single time. After all, conditioners can help keep your hair hydrated at all times. Hair that is deprived of moisture tends to be dry and brittle, which makes it more prone to breakages.
Also, if you want to straighten hair naturally, conditioners can help you by making hair softer, smoother, and a lot more manageable! Of course, conditioners also tame frizz, which could prevent your hair from looking straight.
2. Brush, brush, brush
Straight hair needs to be brushed often if you want to keep it nice and smooth all the time. In fact, some even believe that brushing your hair a hundred times each day can help your hair grow beautiful and straight.
While this isn't entirely true, as brushing your hair with the wrong brush or comb can do more harm than good, brushing does have its benefits. Just make sure you pick the right type of brush!
3. Silk wraps
Where do you think the term 'silky straight' hair came from?
One way that you can straighten hair naturally is by wrapping it in silk overnight. Silk wraps can help tame frizzy hair, which, as we mentioned above, can make your hair look not-so-straight. It would be better if you can get silk beddings too, if possible. Or if not, just get some good ol' silk pillowcases!
4. DIY straightening masks
You probably already know by now that we're a huge fan of DIY treatments. Interested in trying out some treatments right from the comfort of your own home? You can begin with an egg + olive oil hair mask, which can instantly soften your hair right after the first treatment.
