How to Make Hair Soft and Silky Naturally
- 1). Apply conditioner to hair after washing it. Comb conditioner through the tangles to smooth the hair. Conditioners add lubricants to the hair that soften it. Conditioners also smooth the hair shaft, making hair look silky.
- 2). Rinse out shampoo and conditioners with cool water. Cool water flattens the hair cuticle and makes hair smoother. Light then bounces off or reflects off the smooth or flat surface so hair looks shinier.
- 3). Apply a hot oil treatment to the hair as a deep conditioner. Heat olive oil on the stove and massage oil into the hair. Wet a towel and wring it out. Heat the towel in the microwave for two to four seconds. Wrap the towel around your hair and keep it on for 20 minutes. The heat helps the oil to penetrate the hair shaft. Rinse out with cool water. Repeat the hot oil treatment at least once a month.
- 4). Brush hair downward from the roots to the ends. Use a boar bristle brush. The natural bristles help smooth the hair cuticle to make hair silkier.
- 5). Massage hair by placing both hands on the scalp. Move your fingers in a circular motion for two to three minutes. Massages increase blood flow to the scalp and stimulate the sebaceous glands to produce natural oils that make hair softer and silkier.
