Hair relaxer in the SF Bay Area, Peninsula?

Hello, I have very curly hair. I am half black, half white. I am looking for a good hair saloon to have my hair relaxed. I do not want it straight, I just want my curls to me more manageble. I live in Palo Alto. Any suggestions of hair saloons or relaxer. I have been to two hair saloons, Juut and LaBelle, but neither do relaxing for my hair :\

wELL IM A aFRICAN aMERICAN GIRL AND I WOULD RECCOMEND THE OLIVE OIL RELAXER ..BUT I STOPPED USING RELAXERS BECAUSE IT DOES DAMAGE YOUR HAIR NO MATTER HOW GOOD THE RELAXER IS GOODLUCK HUN:)What is the best hair relaxer?
If your hair is just ';wavy curly'; it's most likely not the best idea to get a relaxer. Relaxers do damage to any hair type over time, but with your hair type, you'd do some serious immediate damage. Just use a ceramic flat iron once a week/every two weeks if you really want straight hair.
id try chi realxer

I'm a boy with really curly hair, and I wanted to know what hair relaxer works best.?

I have really curly latino hair. I want the best relaxer, to straighten it, but I don't want it to be harsh. The ones on the stores are for really curly hair, my hair isn't that curly. Please give me a link for the product. Please don't suggest a hair staightener, bc i don't have time to do it in the morning and I kinda suck at it.I'm a boy with really curly hair, and I wanted to know what hair relaxer works best.?

curly hair is cute
get a good cut that goes with the curls; girls love curly hair
let me tell you something.........CURLY HAIR ON GUYS IS HOT!!!!!! sorry i had to get that out. you should consider keeping it curly. I have curly hair too and i hate it.i know what you mean. try to keep away from wet hair products that will make your curls tighter.i guess its the latino because no matter what hair products i try i CANT GET MY FREAKIN HAIR STRAIGHT!!!!! i suggest keeping it the way it is. sorry bro
I don't like that I have super-curly hair, in fact it has been referred to as Black peoples' hair. My only remedy for that was to grow it out and put massive amounts of L.A. Looks gel into my wet hair, then shook my head around, giving me that fresh-out-of-the-shower look. For some reason, that's a really good remedy. Right now, though, I have dreadlocks (only one week today) and that really helps with my hair flying around on its own.

Has anyone done a hair relaxer ? does it work ?

i don't resally know much about hair relaxers,


but what will it do ?





will it make my hair less poofy/thick ?


is it healthy for your hair ?


about how much does it cost ?


are there any places near mississauga or any at home kits ?


will i tmake my hair straight ?





has anyone with super thick curly poofy hair done this, and has it worked, made it worse or the same ?Has anyone done a hair relaxer ? does it work ?
For black people it makes your hair straight, white people I believe it makes it curly. I do use a home kit I get it at walmart or any beauty supply store it only cost about $5 or $6 , it can damage your hair if you don't do it correctly...for me it straightens my hair and makes it shinier.Has anyone done a hair relaxer ? does it work ?
I had like afro curly hair that stood up and I used one when I was 13 and it made my hair straight for a while, then it started to get curly again, but pretty curls going down instead of up! It does change the texture of you hair but it depends on what type of hair you have. Its not good for your hair though, so don't do it a lot, (you can do touch ups). And its not to expensiv(under $10.00) (Do a test on a little bit of hair though to make sure it dont break your hair!)After a while you may need to use a flat iron, but It really changed my hair for the better, and now I dont even use them anymore! My hair is soo long now it just grows in pretty curls!
I got my hair permed for the first time and it does make your hair less poof y(depending on your type of hair) it will be more fragile since it slightly strips your proteins and shaft of your hair, if you wrap your hair and keep it mosturized you can keep it healthy but its chemical so that means its not completly good for your hair it depends on who's your hairstylist how much it cost it shouldn't cost anymore than $65(that's by going to a salon) you can use home kits and it will make your hair straight you have to keep it in (follow direction on boxes) if it burns cuz it probably will rinse it and you have to wrap it and mosturize it and you'll probably notice shedding because your natural hair the results were good for me put it burned lyk krazy so it was rinsed out early and i heard if you scratch your head b4 u get a perm u irritate the scalp so just tap ur head if it itches hope i helped:)

What is a cheap at home hair relaxer that works?

i need to know which relaxers work best at a fair priceWhat is a cheap at home hair relaxer that works?
While it would be best to go to a good licensed beautician, there are several good brands that can be used at home. The first and most important thing you need to decide though is whether or not you want to use lye or no lye. If you want to use lye, I would recommend Silk Elements. You do have to buy the neutralizing shampoo and deep conditioning treatments separately though. But all are reasonably priced. If you choose no-lye, Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil relaxers are good. Because it is a boxed relaxer, it will have all the components, but if you have long are coarse hair, it may not be enough, so you may need two boxes. Whatever you choose, be sure to read all the directions first and if possible, use a friend to help.

Good off the shelf hair relaxer?

I'm white and have really frizzy wavy hair and I want to have pin straight hair so I don't have to straighten it everyday. Whats a good off the shelf hair relaxer for my hair? I cant go to a salon because I really can't afford it because I'm a single mother with youngin's at home and everything's about them ya know. Also Ive never used a chemical relaxer before so I'm new at this.Good off the shelf hair relaxer?
relaxers are pretty much the same, except for the strengths. Once you get it straight its going to be about the conditioners and styling products you choose to use to keep your hair healthy.
