Natural relaxer - Coconut & Lime

This is for you natural ladies (and guys)!

To change your look temporarily and arbhore a straight hairdo use the Coconut & Lime relaxer. It is all natural products, no chemicals. It's not permanent so you can wash it out when you want to see your beautiful curls back. It has to be said that because it's all natural and not permanent it will not relax your hair bone-straight, especially if you're 4A/B. But it's an excellent way to loosen your curls and soften your hair.

Here’s my way to make the treatment:

1 tin of coconut milk

2 tablespoons of coconut oil (or EVOO)

4 tablespoons of lime juice

2-3 tablespoons of corn flour

Put the corn flour in a bowl, slowly add the coconut milk until it becomes creamy then add the oil and whisk until well blended, add the lime juice. If you find the mixture is still too thin add a bit more corn flour. If the coconut milk you have is very thick to start with, you may leave the corn flour out altogether.

Apply the mixture to your hair in sections, ensure it is evenly covered do not comb. Cover with a plastic cap then under a steam cap or cover your head with a wet towel and sit with a hooded dryer on your head for ½ hour to an hour. You may also sleep with the mixture on your hair.

You can freeze in remaining product.

Then shampoo the mixture out of your hair and proceed to deep condition as usual with an ultra moisturising conditioner. use cold water for your final rinse to close the hair cuticles and seal the moisture.

Style as usual and flat iron for straighter look.
