Here are some natural alternatives that can help you in relaxing your hair. It may not give you the straight mane of hair you desire, but it will surely make your hair much more manageable.

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.

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.
