How to Straighten Hair with
Milk
Ad
Mother Nature has her own beauty products
and one of them is milk. Many believe that it
has natural straightening agents that are
quick and effective. Since it's probably already
in your fridge, why not give it a try? Save the
money, save damaging your hair with heat,
and straighten with milk.

Fill a spray bottle with 1/3 cup of
milk. Any (fresh) milk will do, but the
thicker the milk is, the better. Though it's
questionable, some believe that coconut
milk has extra straightening power. [1]
If you do use coconut milk, combine
it with lemon juice from half a lemon.
Let it sit in the fridge for an hour
until a cream forms on top. That's
the stuff you want to use on your
hair! Follow the rest of the directions
as normal.
You could also add a bit of honey,
strawberry, or banana to your
mixture. Just stir it up well and take
in the extra moisturizing powers of
the honey or fruit (and the better
smell).
Powdered milk is a cheaper
alternative -- and it won't go bad as
quickly!
Spray the milk all over your hair.
Dry or damp hair is ideal. Here's
what to keep in mind:
Thoroughly saturate your entire
head. You don't have half-straight,
half-curly hair!
Spray from root to tip, being sure
the tips are just as milky as the
roots.
Spray on the top, flip your head
over, and spray from the bottom.
Then spray from the middle and
sides, especially if you have layers.
Comb tangles out of your hair with
a wide-toothed comb. This keeps
any of your hair from resting in a curled
position and prevents any milky snarls --
that definitely won't smell good
tomorrow.
Regularly massaging your scalp, let
it sit for 20 minutes. The milk needs
time to soak into each shaft of hair and
weigh it down, straightening it. This is a
great time to exfoliate, paint your toes,
or shave your legs!
Rinse out the milk, and shampoo
and condition as usual. Rinse your
hair out a little more diligently than you
normally would so you don't end up
smelling like sour milk afterwards. Then
continue your usual routine.
Let your hair dry. If you have
somewhat wavy hair this will make
your hair straighter, but if you have kinky,
curly hair it may not work as well.
However, it is still nourishing and will
define your waves and curls if it doesn't
straighten it.
