This DIY homemade hair remedy is great at softening kinky curls. It works wonders on Afro/bi-racial hair, but is suitable for any hair type. Of all the natural and effective recipes out there, this is one my favorites. The recipe's a bit more complicated than most, but it makes for a great styling gel/lotion that you can store in the fridge and use up to 5 days later. Go ahead-turn that bad hair day into a spectacular one!
Softening Brittle, Tight Curls:
Here are the ingredients you'll need:
3 oz dried Irish Moss
1/2 water (add more if you want)
2 teaspoons dried Chamomile herb
2 teaspoons dried Rose Petals & Buds
2 teaspoons Virgin Coconut Oil
Now follow these directions:
- Bring water to a boil, and remove from heat.
- Mix dried herbs and Irish Moss into water.
- Cover and let mixture sit for 5 minutes.
- Use a strainer to remove herbs from mixture.
- Add coconut oil to mixture. If you like you can also add a couple drops of Vegetable Glycerin for added moisturizing benefits.
- Stir until consistency is thick. If it's too thin, you can add some more dry Irish Moss.
- Allow it to cool in the fridge before applying it to hair.
