Keeping your hair straight and straight is not an easy task.
The progressive brushes available in beauty salons around the world, in addition to being full of chemical components, require a lot of investment, especially if we consider maintenance, which must be done every three months for more effective and lasting results.
However, a much more affordable and less harmful alternative to hair is homemade progressive which, in addition to straightening your locks, also leaves your hair hydrated, soft and shiny.
Because it only uses natural products, homemade hair straightening lasts from a week to ten days, depending on the natural structure of your hair and, therefore, it is essential that you apply the product weekly.
As time passes, your hair will become increasingly manageable and, naturally, smoother.
This is because homemade hair straightening does not alter the structure of the hair, which makes the change in hair behavior gradual.
All the ingredients that make up the homemade progressive brush are not there by chance.
Just take a look at what each ingredient you probably have in your kitchen can do to straighten your hair:
