Has a hair relaxer killed someone before?

Ok this is a little funny but I'm kinda of having a dispute with my roommate about using perms. Her hair is very damaged and will not grow, yet she keeps using relaxers because she feels as though there is nothing wrong with relaxers. I want to prove that relaxers are dangerous. So please tell me if a hair relaxer has ever killed someone....Has a hair relaxer killed someone before?
It could certainly kill you if you ate it. It could also cause second degree burns and blindness.





If you want to give your roommate a visual of what she is now doing to her hair, have her watch you use Nair to remove the hair on your legs. The two both have the same active ingredients (some sort of strong base, Ca(OH)2, NaOH-lye, etc.) and pretty much work the same way. You are denaturing (breaking the bonds) a protein, either to the point where the cuticle of the hair hangs limp (straight) or the point where it is completely disintegrated (hair removal).





Relaxing damaged hair is pointless. It is already broken down; the only thing that you can do at that point is to cut it off. If she insists that she wants a relaxer (it is her choice), she should know that she should ONLY have it done (ESPECIALLY THE TOUCHUPS) by a competent professional.Has a hair relaxer killed someone before?
omg nooo lol a hair relaxer has never killed anyone.... the only thing it will do that is damaging at ALL is damage her hair. esp if her hair is already damaged and she keeps using relaxers on it. this could break off a lot of her hair. and when you use a relaxer, the next time you do it you just put it on the newgrowth and using it on the whole head can cause even more damage
Not unless that have an allergic reaction to the chemicals. She needs to change her hair care routine if her hair is damaged, she could cut back on the relaxing, but she has to have other bad habits contributing.
I have never heard of anyone die frome that, but my husband use to


use them and it did the same thing to his hair . I recamend eather stop useing them or get something else that is not so harsh.
Hair Chemicals aren't THAT Dangerous. Only for the hair.
