Hello, Everyone! In this video Lauren Farraher, Hair Stylist, discusses how to straighten hair with milk. Farraher has been styling all types of hair for more than nine years. She has experience in cutting, styling and coloring men's, women's and children's hair. Farraher attended a hair and beauty school in New York and currently provides her services, as a hair stylist, at Ulta Salon, Cosmetics & Fragrance, Inc., in Wilmington, N.C.

Why milk? Milk is very nourishing to hair and it can help increase shine and luster, while reducing frizz. In order to straighten hair with milk, use it while hair is dry or slightly damp. In the video, Farraher uses milk on slightly damp hair. To do the same you should cleanse your hair as usual, however do not condition it, yet. Next, you may spray milk on to your hair from a spray bottle, or you may use an application brush and a wide tooth comb to apply the milk to your hair. Be sure to apply the milk from the roots all the way down your hair shaft. Focus on applying it thoroughly and saturate the ends. Once you have applied the milk to your hair, gently massage it into your scalp for a little while. Massaging your scalp helps increase blood circulation which increases the flow of nutrients to your scalp. After massaging your scalp let the milk remain on your hair for approximately 15 to 20 minutes. After this time has passed, rinse your hair thoroughly, and condition as usual. ~ based on Farraher video tips


Extra Tips from Lauren Farraher

by Louis A. Klein

Dr. William Ernst

"If you'd like you can actually spray just a little more milk in your hair before styling, however you do not want to use as much. You are going to want to use probably about a third cup of milk for the initial saturation. What it is going to do is to kind of help relax your hair and weigh a little heavy on your hair which will pull down some of your wave. If your hair is very kinky-curly it won't work as well, however it will help you actually hydrate your hair and give you a little bit more definition within your curl. It will not necessarily give you very straight hair." ~ Lauren Farraher

As always, and particularly with dairy, I recommend that you use verifiable organically-produced, hygienically-milked whole milk. The higher the quality of your milk, the higher quality and quanity of nutrients you will consume from it, orally or via your skin. Also, what you apply to your skin (scalp included) gets into your bloodstream quickly. Therefore, you only want to apply that which will do no harm and be beneficial to you.
