They are gentler than relaxers that contain sodium hydroxide, and therefore easier to control on fine textured or delicate hair. However, amonium thioglycholate and guanidine hydroxide break down hair protein bonds according to the same chemical principles as sodium hydroxide. So no-lye relaxers will also damage hair if used improperly. Home hair relaxers straighten hair by permanently rearranging the protein structure of the hair shaft. Strong alkaline chemicals are applied to the hair to break the sulfide bonds that hold the protein molecules together.
The hair is combed straight and the chemicals are allowed to act for several minutes. The relaxer is rinsed from the hair and a neutralizing chemical is applied to the hair to stop the bond breaking process. Relaxing hair, at home or in the salon, always results in some damage to the hair.
To minimize damage, relaxing must be timed precisely, the hair checked frequently, and the relaxer removed from the hair immediately once hair is straight.
Miscalculation of application time or misjudging hair condition can result in significant hair breakage and even temporary bald patches. Having your hair relaxed by an experienced professional is always safer. Best regards, Customer Care Team. Tammy Wednesday, 25 December I searched it up and I'm getting mixed reviews? Vanessa Thursday, 20 February Prissy Tuesday, 17 March Jay Sunday, 05 April I'm white with really long hair passed my butt.
I've never put any chemicals in my hair but I've been thinking about doing a relaxer. Is this a good idea or no? Ella Thursday, 16 April Would it work on frizzy hair? Joy Saturday, 11 July Hi I was wondering if i could use a relaxer on my public hair as it's so curly and I keep burning myself using straighting irons Loc Wednesday, 15 July Joey Lee Friday, 23 October Please look into maybe a keratin smoothing treatmet or the Brazilian blowout method and let a professional do it!
But please do not do the relaxer or a perm it will fall off in the sink! And that goes for anyone else on the page! You can use relaxer on your hair whether your white black brown tan but once your hair is bleached with a lightener please do not use relaxers or perms!!! And even if you dye your hair back brown or black after lightening the hair is still over processed from the lightening and will still damage with the relaxer or perm bc the hair is still over processed under the black color you put on.
I recommend please go to professionals and be truthful about whether you have bleached your hair before and when! June The answer is yes and no. Yes: Many hair relaxers are made for and marketed to ethnic people with curly hair.
No: Anyone who uses hair relaxers regardless of their ethnicity or race will straighten their hair. Connect to Facebook.

Okay yesterday I went to the Aveda salon to get my monstrous eyebrows attacked with wax and tweezers. Anywho after I was done, I went to the register to pay for my eyebrows. And Immediately I smelled a relaxer i like the smell, well that and gasoline.
Lovelylocs Well-Known Member. The hair looks like it is easy to straighten with a blowdryer, but it really isnt at all. Holy smokes, I've heard of Caucasian women relaxing, but I have yet to actually see it with my own eyes. It's like it's done in the cloak of night. I heard that Jackie O relaxes her hair. I don't know if that's true or not. From looking at her hair and her mothers hair, I pray to god that she takes care of it.
Marilyn Monroe had a relaxer. People had the nerve to describe her hair as "too kinky". I didn't know that caucasians needed relaxers either until I happed upon this salon in midtown several years ago that did dominican style roller sets before "Dominican blowdry" was an adjective. The salon was inundated with white folk with hair just like mine: coarse, wavy, not straight.
Most were of jewish decent, but there was one Italian girl who had paper white skin, but dark, ultra-coarse hair. It was a juxtaposition, to say the least. Yea, some caucasian pple have really thick hair that just puffs when it's blow dried. This girl in high school was telling me once how the stylist said she needed a relaxer to get her hair thin and straight.
TigerLily New Member. Learn something new everyday! I think that Marilyn Monroe looked way better with her natural hair than that blonde crappy color that she had. Tai New Member.
