How to do the Caramel Treatment

The caramel hair treatment uses natural ingredients to moisturize and soften as well as add shine and manageability to various hair textures. It gives women the opportunity to stretch their relaxer treatments between salon visits and reduces the use of a flat iron. Ingredients such as honey and molasses leave your hair soft and shiny for up to one month.

Things You'll Need

• 1/4 cup honey
• Baby food bananas
• 1/4 cup blackstrap molasses
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• Bowl
• Shower cap
• Application brush
• Comb
• Hair clips

Instructions

1. Mix all of the food ingredients in a bowl until the mixture is smooth.

2. Part the hair into four sections. Clip the front two sections and one of the sections in the back; leave the other section free.

3. Apply the caramel treatment from the roots to the ends of the hair using the application brush. Continue this procedure for the remaining sections.

4. Cover the hair with a shower cap. Leave on the caramel treatment for one to four hours.

5. Wash out the caramel treatment. Rinse the hair thoroughly with warm water, then wash your hair again with shampoo until the treatment is removed. Apply conditioner to your hair. Wash and style as usual.
