The Truth About Relaxers

1. Relaxers are designed to straighten the curl pattern in hair using a chemical called sodium hydroxide.

2.Once relaxed, the hair is permanently straight, there is no way to reverse the process, therefore, the only way to remove a relaxer is to cut it out.

3.You cannot use vinegar, lemon juice, beer, or mayonnaise to remove a relaxer because the chemicals in relaxers permanently change the molecular bonds of the hair.

4. Relaxers never grow out they break and split off, damaging the natural hair.

5. Once the hair is relaxed, it loses its elasticity, meaning it is stretched to capacity and is in a weakened state.

6. Natural hair has the strength of five fingers. If you relax it, remove two fingers. If you color it, take away another finger. If you curl it daily, remove another finger. Your hair is then left with the strength of one finger.

7. Just think, if relaxers are so wonderful, why do they have a whole line of products to correct problems from relaxers?
