Relax your hair:

Castor Oil Massage: The normal definition of relaxation has little to do with straightening. So let us start with a hair therapy which will only relax your hair roots without having any effect on the texture of your hair. Massage your scalp and the length of your hair with castor oil. It will increase the volume of hair and also relax the hair tensed scalp muscles. Massage castor oil into your hair twice a week to get more manageable and softer (if not straighter) hair.

Coconut Milk & Lime: Mix equal proportions of coconut milk and lime juice in a container. Massage your scalp with this mixture and soak the entire length of your hair in it. Wrap a hot towel around your head and sit for an hour. You need to do this 3 times a week for a month to get noticeable results and continue to do it 3 times a week to maintain straight hair.

Plain Milk To Set Hair: If you need a quick fix solution for relaxing you hair then this is it. Mix equal amounts of milk and water in a container. Pour it into a spray dispenser. Spray your hair with milk diluted with water from root to tips. Then comb your hair with a fine comb to distribute the solution evenly across the thickness of your hair. Then wait for it to dry. Follow this up with a hair wash and use a good qualityhair conditioner. This will keep your hair straight till the next wash.

Olive Oil And Eggs: This hair therapy mask is rare but very effective. It may not straighten your hair radically, but it will relax your hair immensely. Break 3 eggs into 100 ml of olive oil. Whisk it together with a beater. Apply this hair mask and leave it for 20 minutes. Wash it off. Rinse every last bit of the mixture from your hair because it is very foul smelling. You will find your hair much relaxed after going through this hair therapy.

Get Shiny Hair Naturally:

1. Apply olive oil on the hair few hours before washing. Massage the scalp and tips of the hair with the oil. This clears the sebaceous oils from the scalp to get oil-free hair. You can mash avocado and add olive oil and 1 tsp of baking powder. Apply this paste on the hair and leave it for 30-45 minutes. Rinse well.

2. Always wash your hair with cold water. Hot water spoils the softness and quality of the hair thus making it brittle and fussy. Washing hair with hot water takes away the essential oils. Cold water can make the hair get the shiny and glossy touch.

3. After shampooing the hair, you can either use a conditioner to get silky hair with shine. Leave the conditioner for 2 minutes and then rinse off well.

4. You can use a natural conditioner such as vinegar to get shine in the hair. Add a few drops of vinegar in water and apply it on the hair. Leave for 30-40 seconds and then rinse off once with water if you want to.

5. The egg is one of the remedies to get shiny and glossy hair naturally. Beat an egg and apply it on the hair. Leave the paste on hair for 30 minutes and then wash it with a mild shampoo. The smell of egg will go a few hours after washing the hair. The hair becomes silky and glossy.

6. Never brush or comb wet or damp hair. The hair becomes frizzy, leads to breakage and split ends. Let it air dry and comb after the hair is completely dry.

7. Plastic bristles of brush or comb can spoil the shine in the hair so, use a natural bristled brush to keep the hair shiny and glossy.

8. Avoid applying hair gel which contains alcohol. It makes the hair dry. Also avoid using hair dryer. Occasional use of hair dryer to set the hair is fine but it is best to let the hair dry naturally.

Use these 8 remedies to get shiny and glossy hair naturally.

Make yourself: Vanilla Bath Bombs

Makes 7 medium sized bombs

1 1/4 cups baking soda or bicarbonate of soda
1/2 cup citric acid
2 tsp of almond oil or apricot kernel oil
Dashes of water
5 drops food coloring
10-15 drops vanilla fragrance oil or essential oil or vanilla beans from 2 pods.
Makes 7 medium sized bath bombs

Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl and stir until well mixed. Drizzle in almond oil and food coloring and stir until mixture is moistened. Add fragrance oil or vanilla bean innards and mix again. If the mixture is crumbly then add more oil or a dash of water. Roll the mixture into a ball using your hands or press it into a lightly oiled mold. (Spandex used a Madeline pan and shallow tart pans), but silicone cupcake tins, ice cube trays and even chocolate candy molds work fine and give more quantity due to the smaller size. After molding balls or shapes, put out of the molds gently and place on a sheet wax paper. Leave to dry for several DAYS, until it is rock hard. Bag or place in jars and use accordingly.
