This DIY homemade hair remedy is great at softening kinky curls. It works wonders on Afro/bi-racial hair, but is suitable for any hair type. Of all the natural and effective recipes out there, this is one my favorites. The recipe's a bit more complicated than most, but it makes for a great styling gel/lotion that you can store in the fridge and use up to 5 days later. Go ahead-turn that bad hair day into a spectacular one!
