How to Make & Use Carmel Hair Treatment

Bananas and molassas can help you condition your hair.

Using all natural ingredients, a caramel hair treatment softens and hydrates the texture of hair for easier manageability for those who would like to naturally relax their hair slightly. This offers women the ability to stretch out the time between their visits to the salon for a relaxer treatment, or can reduce the amount of time a woman uses with a hot straightening iron. The homemade caramel treatment can leave your hair soft and easier to manage for up to four weeks.

Things You'll Need

• 1/4 cup of honey
• 1/4 cup of Blackstrap molasses
• 1/4 cup of olive oil
• 1 container of baby food bananas
• Application brush or small paint brush
• Shower cap

Instructions

1. Mix 1/4 cup of honey, 1/4 cup of Blackstrap molasses, 1/4 cup of olive oil and one container of baby food bananas together in a bowl.

2. Section your hair into four sections so it is easier to work with. Clip the sections with large hair clips to keep unwanted hair out of the hair you are applying the treatment to. Keep the hair near the nape of your neck unpinned, as this is the area you will start with.

3. Apply the caramel hair treatment to the roots of your dry hair near the nape of your neck using an application brush or a small paint brush. Apply the treatment to the remaining length of hair in that section. Continue to the next sections and cover your head with the caramel.

4. Cover your hair with a shower cap and wait one or two hours.

5. Rinse out the caramel treatment and wash your hair. Apply a conditioner. Finish with a cold water rinse to add shine.

Tips & Warnings

• For added shine, rinse your hair with 1 cup of apple cider vinegar, then cold water.
