Don't relax. I had blonde highlights. A couple of months later I relaxed my hair and my hair broke off. It was a disaster. It was uneven and dry. I deal with my curly hair now. You might want to learn how to manage your curly hair. I love my hair now, but it is a long process. Let me know if you want any websites for curly hair.Hair relaxer on permanent blonde colour?
If you want to melt the hair you have, by all means do it. But in all honesty, it is not recommended unless you want short hair. I mean very short hair.
NO NO NO don't do it or you will have no hair. Blonde hair and relaxer can never mix unless you are a natuaral blonde.

Do I want to use a Hair Relaxer?

First off I'm a guy, I'm not sure how many guys use hair relaxers but I just recently heard about them and thought I'd ask. I've always liked having long hair, but my hair is very thick and somewhat curly / wavy. Point being, it isn't straight. I hear hair relaxers can make your hair straight without using a straightener. Is this true? Can anyone give me a little more information? Thanks.Do I want to use a Hair Relaxer?
do not get a relaxer unless you are black or have very course hair like a black or dominican person. I am black and they are harsh on my hair and they are even harsher on non black hair. Just get a flat iron and do your hair with that.Do I want to use a Hair Relaxer?
dont do it, those are the same chemicals you use to unclog drainss. and a relaxer is a acid. www.nappturality.com

What is a hair relaxer and can anyone use it?

A hair relaxer ';relaxes'; the natural curl you have in your hair. It generally takes a long time to do at the hairdresser and can be very costly. However, it is not only for African Americans. Depending on the type, anyone can have it done. I did it a couple of years ago and it totally fried my hair. If you're looking for straight hair just go with the CHI flat iron. I swear by it.What is a hair relaxer and can anyone use it?

What is a hair relaxer and can anyone use it?
hair relaxer takes curls out of your hair and it is made specifically for african american hair








i'd talk to a salon about it though
It depends on your hair type,and if you have anything ,recently done to your hair chemical wise,like Hair Color or Highlights, if you put another chemical on it will break off your hair, and fall off in chunks.So if you are going to Straighten or Relax your hair ,Do not mix Color with it.Not good on Dry brittle hair.
anyone can use it but if i was u i wouldnt because it damages it for life


well not 4 life but yeah


its sort of like a gel
IT'S THE SAME FORMULA AS A PERM BUT IT DOES THE EXACT OPPOSITE,I USED ONE AND WHEN i WASHED MY HAIR IT DIDN'T STAY STRAIGHT SO i DON'T RECOMMEND USING THEM.
A relaxer is a chemical process that straightens curly, kinky hair. The STORE version is primarily used on African American hair types. A variation of relaxers are available in salons for a variety of other hair types. It comes in a kit that consists of the chemicals which are mixed. The mixture becomes a cream and resembles something similar to cake frosting. Its extremely caustic (can cause burns, injuries to the skin) so imagine what it can do to hair if not used properly. It is then applied to the hair (from roots to end if it is the first time being used OR on the roots-new growth of hair which is still natural but 'needs' to be straightened)





The hair, in essence, is being damaged to a certain degree to achieve a tolerable level of 'a straight' and 'smooth' texture. Once that is done, it is rinsed out and washed with a ph balancing shampoo so that the chemical is being neutralized (the chemical is being washed out).





The popularity is due to the fact that alot of hairstyles feature relaxed hair and many young african american women really have no clue what to do with their hair. Braids, curls and twists are still popular but often times people think its easier to just relax it.
Well i thinlk that a hiar relaxer relaxes your hiar duh! but i don't know if you should use it i mean i heard that alot of chemicals can ruin your hair

When you are expecting, is it ok to get a hair relaxer?

It is likely that only a small amount of any hair treatment chemicals are actually absorbed into a woman鈥檚 system through her skin. This minimal amount is not thought to be enough to create a problem for the baby. The following safety tips should be followed when chemically treating your hair:


Consider waiting until the second trimester.


Have the treatment completed in a well-ventilated area.


Don鈥檛 leave the chemicals on your head any longer than necessary.


Rinse your scalp thoroughly with water after treatment.


Wear gloves when applying chemicals.When you are expecting, is it ok to get a hair relaxer?
As long as you are out of the first trimester. The doctor told me not to dye my hair or do anything to it with chemicals until the second trimester because the hormone levels even out then. If you do it before then, it may not be the results you are looking for (ex: my hair turned a greenish brown color when I tried to bleach it at 13 weeks.) so it is best to wait until the second trimester. Everyone says it isn't good to dye or relax your hair when prego but studies have not proven it causes any harm to the baby. Go ahead and do it. I dye my hair every month and have for years. My son is fine, and so far so is this one.When you are expecting, is it ok to get a hair relaxer?
Why do people thumbs-down answers that say wait until the baby is born?? Is it THAT bad to just wait it out because of the chemicals and because hair tends to dye differently while pregnant? Good Lord!! Just wait until the baby comes!!!





Go ahead posters who could care less about the baby's safety and well-being and thumbs-down my answer!!
they say to stay away from it but you can do it i had a hard time getting my hair to do anything until i got pregnant i went and dyed it and the color was great but for some people the color don't turn out so whatever you do to your hair be very carful
I've wondered the same thing! I've looked online and talked to my doctor. She said it's fine, but there's a chance the perm may not hold due to hormonal changes that affect my hair. Sooo...I'm just going to wait until after I give birth to get one done.
A lot of people will tell you to stay away from the relaxer while you are pregnant. I had my hair permed when I was pregnant with my son, and will be getting one in a couple of weeks after I take my braids out.
it is best not to have any chemicals put in your hair while pregnant, I would recomend waiting until after the baby is born and you are not nursing.
I am due feb. 6 and have relaxed my hair every six weeks since i found out doc said it is okay. I plan to relax my hair one more time before my baby shower which is jan. 17
You should wait till you have your baby.


Theres all sorts of chemicals and stuff that could harm your child.
They say to stay away from getting your hair dye'd and all that kinds of stuff.
I heard your not supposed to...dont know why but id advise you not to...

Do you regret getting a hair relaxer?

I never had a relaxer for my hair!!


but when I turned 30 I wanted to try something different


and its been about 4 years since and i regret it I hate the condition of my hair. It changed everything!!! Im biracial and i wore my hair natural


up until 30


so my advice to everyone never get a relaxer!!!!


does anyone feel the same.Do you regret getting a hair relaxer?
Oh I'm so sorry to hear that!! Hair relaxers are very damaging to your hair. You should have been consulted and strand tested before it was done. I don't like them either. Try deep conditioners and hot oil treatments. This should help some. Make sure you are getting the dead ends cut every 6-8 weeks, and just try and be gentle with it. Good luck hon, I hope it gets better for you.

  • I have a demonstration speech to give @ school and i want to use how to mix hair relaxer?

    I need help with the outline of the prject the insticutions I already have for the mixturt of te hair relaxerI have a demonstration speech to give @ school and i want to use how to mix hair relaxer?
    Start with your introduction. Eg: ';Hair relaxing is a very common treatment. People with coarse or curly hair use hair relaxing treatments in order to get smooth hair.';





    Now, give a brief mention as to what hair relaxing treatment is. Eg: ';After completing a hair relaxing treatment, the client will have smoother hair. Hair relaxing formula includes the following ingredients ____________. A relaxing treatment usually takes 45 minutes.';





    Mention each ingredient (in order that you would mix them). Perhaps you could mention the use for each ingredient. Eg: ';When preparing the relaxing treatment, you first measure out a pint of ingredient x. Ingredient x forms the base and it's acidity helps in the overall relaxing treatment. Then we will add some of y. Y functions as a conditioning agent.';





    Now how you'd apply it, ';once we've mixed x,y and z together, we cover the client's hair in it. It is important to do this in a highly ventilated area, since the fumes are noxious. You should also periodically check on the client to ensure that their hair is responding well to the treatment and it is not damaged. After 45 minutes, rinse the clients hair and condition it. Now you should be able to style it.';





    Perhaps mention some counterindications. Eg: ';You should not apply relaxing treatment to clients with highly damaged hair, bleached hair. If you have a pregnant client, you may want to suggest that they discuss this treatment with their doctor as their may be negative side effects.';





    I actually know nothing about relaxing treatments, so obviously you'll have to fill in the details. When writing your outline break it into sections (intro, ingredients, application, counterindications). Under each of these headings use point form and note things you'll say. Unless your teacher tells you otherwise, point form would do.
