Leveling at home
Ironing straighteners sold in stores are not always effective. Therefore, counting quickly and easily to get rid of naughty curls without radical measures is too naive. You can try to use your own oils, vinegar rinse, gelatin masks, syrup or sweet tea, henna. These homemade hair straighteners without ironing are harmless, but they do not work on all types of strands, and the effect does not last long. Too thick or stiff hair may not give in to home straightening methods at all or even become more naughty.
