Find Out How To Naturally Straighten Your Hair
If you want straight hair without having to resort to chemicals or straighteners, read this article. These natural remedies take care of your hair and smooth it out.
To go to a party, to look perfect in the office or to hide their curls, many women opt to straighten their hair using creams, chemical treatments or the famous hair straightener.
The problem with these techniques is that they damage the hair. In this article, we are going to tell you how to naturally straighten hair. It is worth a try!
Have straight hair without suffering from side effects
Permanent straightening (which lasts several months) can give good results in the short term but tends to damage the hair. It is then difficult to put them in shape.
It is only by straightening them again that one can have “decent” hair. It’s like a vicious circle that you can’t escape.
Another of the most used options for getting straight hair is the hair straightener. This device which uses heat to smooth and achieve a wonderful effect offers a hold of several hours (at most a few days) because as soon as we wet them again, the hair returns to its normal state.
Indeed, many women straighten their hair every morning before going to work or on weekends to go out. The consequence: split ends, burnt hair, excessive curling.
Can you straighten hair naturally?
If you don’t want to “fall into the trap” of methods that straighten but damage your hair, you have two options. Leave your hair crimped as it is (and define the curls better) or straighten it with natural products, at home.

Banana and milk
Bananas are great sources of nutrients, including vitamin B6 which has great benefits for the hair.
