How to Treat Relaxed Hair With a Natural Product

Textured hair can become straight with a relaxer.

Chemical treatments are often applied to curly hair to straighten or "relax" the curls. Because of the chemicals used, one of the side effects of the treatment is dry, frizzy hair. To keep the frizz away, your hair must be moisturized daily. There are countless products on the market meant to add moisture to relaxed hair, but many natural ingredients found in your kitchen will work just as well.
