Relaxer Care

 RELAXERS

Lets Talk Relaxers aka " The Creamy Crack". To most African American women, this is a hairstyle life saver. Relaxers allow us to manipulate the hair is various ways to create a certain look and keep it. Straight flowing hair is actually the desired result. Smooth edges, disappearing kinks ( just to name a few ) are technically the real results we are looking for post relaxer.

Most relaxers, contain a chemical called sodium hydroxide ( LYE). When the manufacturers say that a relaxer is "NO LYE" they are leading you to believe that there are no chemicals. That is not the truth. All this mean is that it is replaced by another chemical which is usually lithium.

Understand that , relaxers are not a choice but they are a high maintenance. Once a relaxer is applied, it never stops working. The neutralizer ( shampoo) allows the ph to balance enough to slow the process down to almost non existent . This is the reason why as the hair strands get older you may experience dryness or breakage if the hair isn't reconstructed properly.

The bottom line is, this should never be serviced by anyone other than a licensed professional !
