Leave this on your hair for at least thirty minutes before washing it off. This treatment should be carried out for at least three weeks. This mixture of coconut oil and lemon juice helps to straighten hair to some extent.

Natural hair treatments like hot oil treatments also straighten hair by relaxing hair follicles. You can carry out a simple and effective hot oil treatment at home using the following tips. First, heat oil in a bowl and apply it generously to your hair. Test the temperature of the oil before applying it to your hair. Excessively hot oil can damage your hair or even burn your scalp. Once you have applied hot oil on your hair, cover it with a thin cloth for about twenty minutes before washing it off. After washing your hair, detangle it with a wide toothed comb. Carry out this hot oil treatment at least once a week to ensure straight and smooth hair. Another effective method of straightening hair naturally is with milk and honey. Milk and honey possess natural straightening properties and are effective in straightening hair.
