We all know how costly it is to visit the hair salons. And how much harm the utensils and styling products, full of chemicals, do to our hair. This article is helpful for those who are used to straighten their hair and want to do it in the privacy of their own home without destroying the hair.
You need:
– 250ml coconut milk

Coconut milk and lemon juice helps to untangle and straighten the hair. In addition hydrates and provides a natural shine to your hair. In addition, it is antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral – protects you from possible scalp infection.
