  • Question
    Do I need to continue this treatment for maintenance after I get my desired results?
    Community Answer
    Yes. This treatment is only temporary, so you will need to repeat the treatment whenever you wish to have straight hair.
  • Question
    Can I keep the milk conditioner on overnight?
    Community Answer
    No, 20 minutes is optimal.
  • Question
    I used a cup of milk and a tablespoon of honey. Will it work?
    Community Answer
    It will, but honey may lighten you hair, as it is a natural bleaching agent. If you don't want your hair to be lighter, use a couple teaspoons of olive oil instead.
  • Question
    I have wavy/curly hair, but want to straighten it once and a while. Will it make my hair straighter overall? I love my wavy hair and just want it straight for maybe one or two days occasionally. What can I do?
    Community Answer
    The results from this only lasts about a week and are not permanent, so your hair will go back to normal after that time has passed.
  • Question
    Should the milk be raw or boiled?
    Community Answer
    Boiled water or milk will open up the hair pores, so I would recommend using raw milk.
  • Question
    Is there a specific temperature of water I need to use?
    Community Answer
    You should use cold water because hot water opens up the pores and can cause hair loss.
  • Question
    How long will the hair stay straightened?
    Community Answer
    Your hair will stay straight for about a week unless you continue to use it.
  • Question
    My hair is very curly - will it work?

  • Question
    Can men use this method?
    Community Answer
    Yes, both men and women will have the same results, soft, straight, silky hair.
  • Question
    I have a problem with hair loss. What can I do?
    Community Answer
    One tip is not to apply any conditioner or shampoo to your actual scalp, just to the hair. Shampoo or conditioner on the scalp deactivates the pores, causing you to lose hair.
  • Question
    Do I have to actually use a straightener at the end or just air dry?
    Community Answer
    Even if you just air dry, you will get the desired result for wavy hair. For kinky/curly hair, you will have to use it 2-3 times to get the best results.

    Community Answer
    No; you need a chemical solution for permanent straightening.
  • Question
    Will this method last for a long time?
    Community Answer
    This will stay for about a week.
  • Question
    How often do I have to repeat this to make my hair permanently straight?
    Community Answer
    This is not permanent, so you will not be able to permanently straighten your hair by repeating this treatment.
  • Question
    Can I blow dry my hair after doing the treatment, or do I need to air dry it only?
    Community Answer
    Yes, you can blow dry your hair. Just be sure you don't let any water or excess moisture get into your hair once it's dry.
  • Question
    Do I have to use a wide-toothed comb when straightening my hair with milk? Can I use a hairbrush?
    Community Answer
    You can but a comb would be wiser as it much harder to get any milk residue out of a brush than a comb.
  • Question

  • Question
    Can I use regular milk and lemon juice together to straighten my hair?

  • Question

    Yes, this is an effective remedy a lot of people use. It will make your hair straighter, maybe lighter (lemons could lighten your hair) and silkier overall!
  • Question
    Can I use raw milk and lemon to straighten my hair?
    Community Answer
    Sure, but the lemon will lighten your hair. Use olive oil in its place if you don't want lighter hair. If you have dark brown or black hair, the lemon will not lighten it noticeably.
