One of the most common hair treatments done at salons is hair smoothening. If you get this treatment done at a salon, they would use a couple of products on your hair which might include chemicals. These chemicals in turn damage your hair quality in the long run. Keratin products that are used for smoothening purposes can head to headaches too. Split ends, dryness and grey hair could also be counted as side effects of getting hair smoothening done at salons.
But, if you do hair smoothening with all-natural ingredients, the side effects would hardly be any. And now that it's the lockdown time and you cannot step out for any kind of hair treatment, you can try doing this by yourself at the comfort of your home. There are a few methods that you can use to smoothen your hair at home.
Method 1: You need - Lemon juice and coconut milk.
Directions: Add some coconut milk and lemon juice in a bowl and box both of it well to make a paste out of it. Refrigerate overnight. Apply the mixture from the roots to your hair end and let it sit for 30 minutes before you wash it with mild shampoo.
Method 2: You need - Honey, egg and olive oil.
Directions: Add the egg white, 1 tbsp of olive oil and 1 tbsp of honey. Mix the ingredients till you get a smooth consistency. Apply all over your hair from the roots to the tips and let it sit for 30-40 minutes. You can then use a mild shampoo to wash your hair. You can do this once in a week.
Method 3: You need - Olive oil and banana.
Directions: Add 2 tbsps of olive oil and banana slices. Mix till you get a paste out of it. Apply this all over your hair from the roots to the tips and leave it on for an hour. Wash it off with a mild shampoo later.
Tips you must keep in mind:

Make sure you use a heat protectant before using a flat iron.
