How to Get Soft Hair When You Were Born without It

Achieving soft hair doesn't have to be difficult.

Many women dream of having hair that is soft and silky to the touch. However, not every woman is born with this desirable hair type. Instead, they deal with hair that is coarse and easily tangles. If your hair isn't as soft and manageable as you want it to be, you can use several methods at home to improve the appearance of your hair.

Instructions

1. Apply a moisturizing conditioner to your hair after you have washed it with shampoo. Let the conditioner sit on the ends of your hair for five minutes before rinsing out.

2. Use a deep conditioner twice a week. Apply the treatment to your hair and use a comb to evenly distribute it. Wrap a warm towel around your head and leave it on for 20 minutes. Rinse the treatment out with lukewarm water.

3. Use heat styling tools in moderation. Frequently blow drying and straightening can damage the outer cuticle of your hair. If you do use a heat styling tool, apply a silicone-based heat protecting product to your hair.

4. Eat healthy. Fill your diet with salmon, dark green vegetables, nuts, beans and chicken. These foods are packed with vitamins and minerals that will help you achieve soft, healthy hair.
