If your hair is curly or wavy and you want to change your look, you may have considered straightening your hair. Unfortunately, some chemical hair straightening products contain harmful chemicals such as sulfur which can damage the health of the hair and over time can make the hair more frizzy. Luckily, you can use a spray of milk and honey solution, castor and soybean oil, celery leaf extract, and special combing techniques to straighten curly hair naturally and safely. This natural, heat-free treatment will make your hair straighter, but it must be done every day if you want to maintain the results.

Step 1. Comb your hair straight while it dries
When you're done shampooing, use a wide-toothed comb to brush through your hair every 5 minutes. Hair will appear straighter when dry than if left alone.
