Advantage of doing it at home is
that you can keep changing your hairstyle as and when you want. One day you have
poker straight hair and the next you have perms. The choice is yours!!!
Perms are a great way to
add bounce and body to fine, thin hair. It makes your hair appear fuller and
lively and makes it easier to style straight hair.
Perming and straightening
done at saloons is by use of chemicals which may lead to hair loss and hair
breakage later. A lot of care has to be taken to maintain hair after these
treatments. Also remember, not every type of hair is suitable to undergo this
treatment.
Instead of going in for such chemical
treatments and the later regretting, opt for safer natural methods as follows:
Put
some milk in a spray bottle and spray onto your hair while it's damp. Let
set for 20 minutes, then rinse and shampoo. It will make your hair straight
and beautiful.
For
temporary perming, braid damp hair into thin numerous plaits like Africans
do and leave till dry, Open the braids and comb using fingers, Voila, you
have permed hair with no chemicals used. This perming remains till your
next hair wash. Remember not to use a comb or required use a wide tooth
comb only. Make sure you have shampooed and conditioned your hair well
before doing this.
Using
small rollers will give your hair a spiral look easily. You can either use
them when just out of a head bath and let the hair dry naturally or use a
styling gel before rolling up your hair in rollers. When using rollers
make sure that you take small sections at a time and do not roll the hair
too tight or you’ll land up breaking the hair. Ensure it is a smooth roll.
To
make hair straight, instead of using the detangling serums available in
market make one at home. In one part of any of your favorite hair
conditioner mix 10 parts of water. Put in a spray bottle and spray onto
your damp hair. Allow drying naturally and voila you have straighter hair.
Another
way of straightening your hair is by use of the normal iron you use to
iron your clothes. But for this it is advisable to have another person do
it for you or you may end up burning your hair. This is how it works: take
small, thin portions of your slightly wet hair. Comb it to make sure no
knots remain. Keep a towel under the hair and using a medium hot iron
quickly slide it down the hair length keeping the towel constantly aligned
with the iron. This is very similar to using a hair straighter.
There are a lot of chemicals out there
in the market that one can opt for but remember if you get your hair chemically
treated you need deep conditioning every time you wash your hair.
