What are some natural hair relaxers?

I know they exist. Something that causes little to no damage to your hair, and that is not permanent.What are some natural hair relaxers?
I think so...they exist. But first, go to salon and relax your hair. Then, follow the instructions below.


These are the few steps on how to achieve natural looking hair but relaxed.








Things You鈥檒l Need:





* Hairdresser (or scissors)


* Some kind of moisturizer (try one with jojoba oil, and avoid those with alcohol)








Instructions


Difficulty: Moderately Easy








Step1


Break out the phonebook and find a hairdresser who has experience with natural hair care. Make an appointment to have him or her go over the basics of natural hair care with you, so you'll know if going natural is really the right decision for you.





Step2


If you've decided natural is the way to go, great! Have your hairdresser do the big chop - or, if you're brave, break out the scissors yourself. Cut slightly below where the relaxed hair meets the natural hair, so that you don't accidentally leave any relaxed hair. (Trust me - my hairdresser made that mistake, and chopping the rest of it off myself was no picnic.)





Step3


Whip out the moisturizer. There are plenty of kinds to choose from; some cite things like coconut oil, and even extra-virgin olive oil, as super-softening staples. Personally, though, I prefer a cream with jojoba oil. (Search the ';ethnic'; hair care section of your local supermarket - you're bound to find something, and it's good to experiment.)
