2. Hot Mustard Oil

Mustard oil is another oil that really tames curly hair. In fact, this oil is much heavier as compared to regular oil. Heating up the mustard oil ensures better absorption of the oil and it penetrates faster through the hair shaft helping them get nourishment and moisture.

3. Steam

Steam opens the pores of the hair and allows the oil to seep through the cuticles. This in turn ensures that the hair is well moisturised for a longer period of time. Take a very hot towel and wrap it around your head post a massage. Let it stay for at least 15-20 minutes for best results.
