relaxers that don't damage hair

- Taming your hair can be a demanding task. Some mornings are just too short to give your hair the radiant shine you want to carry with you throughout the day. But with the right investment of time, money, and patience, you can cut out one of the most challenging hairstyling steps in your morning routine.
Hair relaxers are products that can keep your hair straight for a long time. Unlike other products, these are not designed to last a day, or a week, or even a month: a good hair relaxer can keep your hair straight for 6 to 8 weeks!
With this part of your morning routine out of the way, you can focus more on nurturing and grooming it after you already give it the shape you wanted. Not only will the hair feel relaxed, but you’ll have a more relaxed lifestyle thanks to the simplified styling sessions you’ll enjoy once you find the right product.

Hair Relaxer Characteristics
It is important to know that hair relaxers may not be a healthy choice for everyone. The purpose of a hair relaxer is to alter and break the curl pattern for a person with naturally curly hair. In order for such an alteration to be effective, chemicals are used in the formulas of hair relaxers. These chemicals contain all sorts of hydroxide bonds (such as lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, and lithium hydroxide) that break down the hair keep it straight.
In order to cover the 10 best hair relaxers on the market today, we are going to base our choices on the following characteristics:
Base (requires applying a “base”-a protective cream before the relaxing treatments-usually done by stylists) or no base (has the protective cream built in the formula).
Lye (relaxers that contain sodium hydroxide) or no-lye (relaxers containing lithium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, or guanidine hydroxide).
Other Ingredients like moisturizers, proteins, and vitamins that either add to the relaxing effect of the product or protect and heal your hair and scalp.
We will also be addressing such issues as sensitive scalps, pH levels, and whether or not it is necessary to use neutralizing or clarifying shampoos to avoid hair damage caused by chemicals the hair relaxers contain.
All of the hair relaxers on this list are excellent products from companies that you can trust. There are, however, products whose chemical combination or effect on the hair can impact some more than others, whether it may be positively or negatively. You should take your personal hair and scalp needs into consideration, or even test a small strand of your hair like many experts at salons do, to decide what products are best for you.
For each product, we will explore all of their relevant characteristics, including whether they are lye or no-lye products, their ingredients and bases, their price, whether any extras are included in the packaging, and the overall reasons that they are the most preferred hair relaxers.
I've been a licensed hair pro for 25 years. There's no such thing as a relaxer that doesn't damage your hair lol. It LITERALLY breaks the bonds of your hair down. It's the only way it could go from kinky to straight. Relaxers are linked to fibroid tumors & uterine cancer as well. Just get a silk press
Finally a hair dresser telling the truth👏🏾 I had one try to argue me down about how safe they were and how long she's been doing hair.
Thank you for actually saying something. Because people wanna defend relaxers because they know why they get them
Well said but women don't want to hear this
i don't want to relax my hair any longer since I found out it's linked to cancer. what should I do with my relaxed hair now?
I don’t even think it makes the hair look or feel better a silk press will make it so smooth and bouncy
The title is a myth.
😂😂
@@esterhenriques6642 Lol I’m serious though. Like how do you do a healthy chemical treatment? No shade. Just facts.
@@missalmond Right... not sure how that can be possible... it is a chemical... my hair is fragile... me and relaxers don't mix... too much heat either!
Period 💅
Very much so
When people apply relaxers every 2 weeks, what do we expect? Relaxers are meant to be applied every 8 weeks or more. My mum applied relaxers on her hair every 4 months, and she's 75 without any form of cancer. Let's normalise following simple manufacturers' instructions.
Thank you!
People put relaxer in their hair twice a month!!!!! 😰😱😱😱😱😱 that’s so dangerous omg 😥
Thanks, I applied my every 4 months 😊
😂😂😂
Every two weeks? No wonder people have issues. I use to be a 6-8week person but now I'm 10-12.
I was natural all my life I’m 24 now and I just got my first relaxer a few months ago. I go to a professional stylist who uses high-quality products and updates me on the condition of my hair. so far it is very healthy ie no split ends or heat damage.I won’t disregard the cancer claims but people also need to take into account that genetics plays a huge role in cancer development as well as diet/exercise and none of those were mentioned in the studies that I read. And personally for me, I was diagnosed with PCOS with ovarian cyst before I even started relaxing my hair🤷🏾♀️ again not to discredit these studies but I feel like there’s a lot of critical information that’s missing.
I agree ! everything from the products you use to the food you eat affects you in the long run.
True couldn't have said it better
But finding a link between a known carcinogen is still HUGE. That’s like still choosing to use lead paint despite its high toxicity.
@@kymeastaten2981Very huge which is Black women ignore because of vanity. We tried oh well. 🤷🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️
Thank you
With that title, I came straight to the comments popcorn at the ready! 🍿 and...go!!!

@@senorita9693 A relaxer. There are many kinds
Girl, me too!! I’m here for the fictional title n the mess too😂😂😂🤣😂😂🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭😵💫
Yes🤣🍿🤣🤣🤣
I’m so thrilled this comment section is educated on the dangers of relaxers and their side effects! ❤👸🏾🎉🥰
Same!!
Amen
Wrong, ask how many know what birth control does to the body and the cancers related to it? Ask how many have had genetic testing to see what disorders, illnesses, cancers, etc they are susceptible to based on their genetic make up alone. How many stopped practicing oral sex or practice it differently after finding out it's linked to throat, esophageal, etc cancers? Yall aren't educating anyone. You're pushing propaganda not knowledge. You're waiting on the next infomercial.
There’s nothing like that feeling of rinsing a relaxer out! Water just dancing on the scalp 😂
Gurrl 😂🤣🤣😂
🤣🤣🤣🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I say everybody is different, because I wore a perm for decades and my hair was long healthier and full. Called myself going natural and my hair still grows but it’s so thin now
@@niyah_jordan3147 Same. That was the only way my hair wouldn't sweat like crazy, especially in the summer. Now I only do natural or a silk press every non and then
Or when your hair is flowing in the wind
We are the only group of women who criticize and judge each other over what we choose to do with our hair.
No one is criticizing. Relaxer does damage your hair. Where is the criticism unless you’re not talking about this.
@@artistaroundtheblock2047 exactly!
girl thats not true white woman tear each other apart over their hair too LOL
@@tatianawhite1638 Right. She thought she had a point. 🤣🤣
This is beyond a lie any collectivist community will have criticism for others in said group it has nothing to do with race , but the reason ppl especially blk women get relaxers has everything to do with race , mostly anti blackness feed to us since our ancestors boarded the slave boats to South America , the USA , and neighboring Caribbean islands . I don’t think other blk women who understand not only the danger of these chemicals especially being linked to carcinogens and to self hatred of “nappy” 4c hair kinky curly hair as the total opposite of what Western European beauty standards we’ve been brain washed to accept this hating ourselves for our own natural features , is a bad thing I don’t agree with shaming women who get these done nore women or men for that matter who bleach their skin I feel empathy for them being victims of societal pressures of anti blackness to conform to beauty standard’s purposefully made to exclude African people .
There is no such thing 😂😂 that’s like saying a fire that doesn’t burn
Agreed!
Exactly
There is a such thing. Everybody don’t have to wear there hair natural. Most of you don’t even know how to care for your own natural hair, walking around with a dry brittle mess. If applied correctly, it won’t burn. Only if your scalp has irritation does it burn or either it’s over processed
Exactly!
This comment
Her hair was falling out in the sink
Probably hair that was already shed but could come out easily now that it’s straight
@SkylersPastels all hair is dead lol
@@Alexander-wq7qo"dead" hair is referred to as dry, brittle, lifeless, split ends, hair that hasn't been cared for , hair that should have been chopped off a lonnnng time ago
My hair comes out in chunks when it’s natural. That relaxer saved my hair
Probably because she didn’t BASE the girl’s temple, her scalp, ears, nor the nape of her neck BEFORE applying the relaxer!! 😒😒
A stylist that doesn’t know what they’re doing will cause your hair to fall out!
As a licensed professional if we are going to perform chemical services we then need to understand proper application and the usage and understanding of its purpose along with its realities.
Disulfide bonds are broken down during a chemical process, therefore we MUST apply properly to limit the inevitable (Damage) as much as possible. 1. Always have a timer to have proper processing time 2. Do a strand test to ensure you will be applying the proper strength due to texture/density ( this will help with understanding how long the chemical should be on the hair. The timer starts from the moment the chemical is applied) 3. Always use 4 section partings and NEVER put sections together, AND rinse the first section you start thoroughly before moving to another section. NEVER RINSE the front first because it should be started last therefore rinse last. Also, apply the chemical to the perimeter just before the rinsing process due to it being the most fragile.
Lastly, stabilize the hair before shampoo with a reconstructor or stabilizing solution too fill the broken bonds, sealing the raised cuticle back to a closed cuticle. AND NEVER USE RATAIL COMBS OR ANY COMBS TO SMOOTH THE HAIR. Let the chemical do its work not YOU. You should not be trying to straighten the hair you are only relaxing the texture for manageability keeping body and flow to the hair. Your tools (I.e flattening iron can do that ❤)
Nice and professional tips. I’m glad you take the time to do this correctly for your clients 😊
Where do u work I love the tips I went from..process to nature can't manage the hair and want to go back to processing but just scared of the chemicals
You are able to smooth with a smoothing tool, application stick or back of the comb.
what is a good reconstructor to use before shampooing?
@@thanksmaddytv815 you're right.
Just get a silk press that burns your scalp, ears and neck from the 450 degrees flat iron’s heat. When it burns you, your stylist will tell you not to jump. As if you can control that natural reaction. Then you’ll be graced with the natural scent of burnt chemicals in your hair until you wash it. That’s if your silk press lasts for longer than 3 days.
😂
They didn’t apply the proper relaxer and did not put any protective base before the relaxer none of my clients have ever gotten chemically burned
nah why you had to come and eat like that 😂😂 this level of sarcasm is an art
😂😂😂😂
😢
Perm is known for causing uterine cancer, fibroids, and ovarian cancer....
🥺😱wow that's so sad and scary 😲 I'm really glad I stopped perming my hair years ago
They are very intentionally toxic! I make my own natural softener with no chemicals.
Exactly!!!
We wanna be European so bad. My hair texture is like wool like Jesus and I’m proud of it.

Everyone is going nuts on here. Especially the non relaxer people. I believe it's really a personal choice don't judge anyone for making a choice for themselves just because you have a difference of opinion.

I’m getting my hair relaxed in a couple of weeks after being natural for a few years. I can’t wait!!
You go girl! Everyone has an opinion of how black women should wear their hair but no one is available to help out.
@@theresaobi2591 thanks! My hair is nice in its natural state but I prefer to relax it. I’m not worried about the naysayers lol.
@@adriannehudspeth2444 It's not naysayers you should be worried about, it's potential fibroids and their growth.
Go get Botox. Is a procedure to relax your hair. Check it out.
Go girl!!! Don't let anyone tell YOU want to do with YOUR hair!! I was natural for 11yrs and went back to my relaxer and LOVE IT!! Had non-growing fibroids WHILE natural and no issues since being relaxed again. There are multiple reasons for cancer development. Stay healthy overall and do what makes YOU happy!
I believe in living and letting others live without judgement. My choices don't have to be anyone elses and theirs don't have to be mine. As long as everyone is happy with what they choose. Everybody's hair breaks and sheds no one's hair just grows perfectly without losing some. Chemicals may benefit one and be harmful to another. If you take the risk and it actually helps you I'm happy for you. If you know how to treat and manage your hair properly with love you will be fine.
Obesity is the leading cause cancer, but they're not in a frenzy about that 😂
There’s nothing wrong with forewarning people and letting people know the effects and consequences of choices even if you let others live their life.
Wait - you said there's no frenzy about obesity? You must live on another planet...@@autumn_b905
So we are just going to ignore that mild chunk of hair that came out the moment she got to the sink and the hair in the sink throughout? Aht aht I don’t want to hear anything about shedding lol
Lol yes I peeped that. Looks like it melted right off. Hopefully the client can maintain the after-care of the relaxer and it'll bounce back.
Yeah that was crazy👎🏽
Believe or not, that was shed hair.
It looked like dead hair. Upon can see her hair was Already dry, untrimmed, and brittle looking ends, as if she hadn't cared for it in a while & possibly she came fresh outta braids/ cornrows or extensions
😬
Hair was straight and pretty but I went natural 3 years ago and never looked back!! Dreads now to be exact. We ARE queens with very unique hair, that can do anything! Let that texture show SISTERS👑❤️
No thank you. My natural is not l7ke your natural and I don't like locks. So you do what you like and I will do what I like. And I like easy to mannage.
Some are in countries where hair dressing costs as little as $10 some countries we pay $100 minimum so .....
Right, our hair is most versatile.
@@chihelele5242 girl, if you don't like lics...okay. she didn't tell you to go get locks, she said be natural, stop the self destruction, and live in your Queendoome, adjust your crown and be creative with your hair.
If you have NO problem being the white man's dummy, go right ahead. But you live in that ignorance willfully, unnecessarily, and by yourself cause I wish I would follow some dumb and ignorant ish like what you said. Yall young girls are beyond dumb abd yall show it like yall proud, but its embarrassing 🤦
@@Im-Done-Playing my hair my choice, I am doing what I like and what makes it easy for me. I respect other peoples choices, and therefor do not preach to them, convising them to do as I do just because.....
Your hair your choice. I would go natural if I had manageble hair, I had locks once but it was not for me because I like to change styles.
I can not wear wigs or weaves , because they each the moment I get them done. So I do as I wish with my hair, without being your or anybody elses dummy
@@Im-Done-Playing you are dumb to think that everybody should do as you demand
I was a healthy hair stylist for 29 yrs. All relaxer’s are damaging to the hair. It doesn’t matter how careful you are with the application of it. After a relaxer the hair is weaker and easily damaged further by heat, daily styling and other chemicals. So even if it looks healthy it has still sustained some damage if relaxed.
The same should be said to naturals who constantly silk press/wear braids with extensions/wear wigs. The amount of damage those women do is ridiculous but natural hair stylists will continue to push those styles because of how much can be made off black women. People can charge much more for knotless braids, silk presses and wig installations over a relaxer every 6-8 weeks.
@jollyrancherchick good point didn't look at it like that. It's so true because it's a lot of work prepping natural hair, then silk pressing, which doesn't last long as well. There is nothing wrong with relaxing. I just have to take care of your hair, whatever style you choose.
@@jollyrancherchickthat’s very true
As a Licensed Natural/Haircare Hairstylist, the integrity of my clients' hair is most important. My clients are aware of heat appliances. If used too often and (more one pass), it will damage their strands. Educating my clientele is very important.
Absolutely correct!! I’m a hair stylist too. Nutrition has to be restored Period! U have to do intense treatments at each salon visit after the hair has been chemically treated 👌🏽Olaplex has products that I’d bet a bag on!!
Yes relaxers technically do damage your natural hair but so does permanent hair coloring, perming and any other product that alters your natural hair state. You can combat the damage with good maintenance and care that's why it is always suggested to go to a professional to have chemical treatments done.
I went "Natural" for about 3 years, I was spending so much money on products it was ridiculous. Each one of those bottles of products cost on average $14 and we are using at least 4-5 different products not to mention the hunt for the right product for your hair. How many products have you bought and they didn't work and are just sitting in your closet what a waste of money and then when you find the right product they change the formula and you are on the hunt again... Black people are not making our hair care products, Asians are and their main objective is to make as much money as possible, they can care less how our looks or what conditions it's in. A prime example is Lace Front Wigs, we all know what it takes for the perfect Lace Front but yet they refuse to put all the elements together in 1 wig it's all a trick to keep you looking for the perfect Lace Front. I went back to relaxing my hair and I will continue to relax my hair for the rest of my life. I was blessed with a good head of hair but since the pandemic I don't wash it as often and my hair is about 2 inches below my bra strap.
I'm not spending all my money on a million products and going outside with a wet head in the dead of winter and I don't do braids. As far as relaxers causing cancer women have been relaxing their hair for almost 100 years and they are just now finding that out ?¿? Like someone else here said everything causes cancer, the powers that be threw that out there to scare everyone into going natural. Do what pleases you and don't knock or shame anyone else for doing them.
It’s sad some black woman are lazy and spend there money on everything but not their hair. Waste money on fashion clothing that does nothing to their body care, shoes/ jewelry etc even going out on a expensive restaurant or travel but can’t spend some $14 on some damn good health products. If some people wanna have sickness from those dangerous chemicals. I say let them go ahead and suffer. And let wonderful black woman who are opening their eyes to loving ourselves to not please society.
You know damn well any black woman who do perm is doing that to please someone. Some black woman will have the right hair products but can’t style their hair so they be scared to sit outside without using some curls cream to look like some mix person. I have my natural hair out short, I barely spend money on hair stuff. Just buy any black woman shampoo and conditioner and some few oils that’s it. Anyways I hope people who keep doing person stay being lazy and insured. Like be for real it’s 2023. There’s no excuse. Chinese make everything even the phone you using. Which are expensive, cars, tv, furniture and everything so you might as well stop buying stuff that aren’t mad in USA America. No other group is thinking about pleasing black people. Everyone on earth goals is to make money as much as they can.
Exactly! People be so pressed. I relaxed my for 25 years and the only relaxer that damaged my hair are the ones that contain no lye. I have reduced considerably the amount of time that I relax my hair but I do. It makes my hair manageable and I just mix it with conditioner to reduce the strength but even with the locs I have I still texlax (not leaving the relaxer long enough for it to be straight). These days even milk causes cancer... So do you
With cancer growing up everyone wore relaxers and the cancer rates was low. They are storytelling our drinking water is FULL of chemicals. Using non stick pans which most of us use causes cancer. The coating disappears overtime and goes into our foods.
Thank so much, about to relax my hair from natural but was scared when I saw people’s comments, but thanks for taking the fear away. I have been on natural for 8yr and I want to relax now. Still wondering the type of relaxer to use 😢
@@loombigoor9847 Do a lot of research, Start with a mild relaxer. It's important to treat your hair regularly with an oil such as castor, tea tree or rosemary so they can maintain moisture and strength. I relax my hair every 4 months. It's good to take biotin or nettle leaf supplement.
Do what you want to do with your hair. You don’t have to be natural just because your black. Do what works for you and know the risk. I’m natural but it’s a Personal Choice and not because I’m black. Everybody’s hair is different and can handle products differently. And as for cancer…. What doesn’t give you cancer??? The air we breathe can cause cancer for some people.
Agreed.. I’m only natural to get a fuller volume of hair back, but my natural growth from perm is really taking a lil longer. Perm honestly grows my hair but I would say I used to over process my hair so it was really thin. I’ve been natural 3 years strong and it’s nice and healthy 🎉

I just said this to someone today 😂
It’s becoming a thing of pressure and no longer what makes you happy
Just do everything in moderation ❤
Lol. Please, when you know that black women around the globe suffer from hormonal diseases at a much greater rate, this is no coincidence ... the relaxer we get for style and "easy maintenance" can impact our health AND our the health babies we will carry. Yes many things give cancer. But if you know better and respect yourself and your loved ones enough, you should also do better with the things you can control...
All RELAXERS are curl pattern altering which could potentially cause damage; it’s a CHEMICAL to break down the curl pattern. Regardless of application and care and or if it actually causes damages it’s still a chemical applied to the hair/closely to the scalp. Thank you though for the post.
Ain't the 1st time I see professional blantly lie. But they do have clients too. 🤷 And I don't think those people are so naïve. As long as everyone is happy...
As for others whom are looking for real informations on the net : R.I.P

Let me guess...this comment section has those sisters who went natural and discovered their true self? Some of the products we put on natural hair also causes damage to some. 😐
You’re right, it is true that some of those products are also damaging, but there are other options. For example, some people make DIY shampoos, tea rinses, and conditioners and leave-ins.
I would like to ask, is there anything wrong with a woman discovering her true self? Based off what I see in our community - it seems like our women are running away from themselves.
Black women hair is absolutely beautiful ❤
So we just gone pretend there's not a lawsuit out against relaxers for having cancer-causing chemicals in it? If it can give you cancer, then what do you think it's doing to your hair?

This!
Everyone hair works differently, I’ve been getting perms since 5 or 6 and that’s the longest length my hair ever been. I started going natural at 10 around 2013/14 that’s when going natural started to become a trend my biggest regret. I finally decided to get a perm last year my hair has never grown always been short being natural even with a silk press. Being natural might work for some people but everyone hair textures are different . I never wore my hair out because I was ashamed since it was too short so what’s the point of being natural. A struggle dealing with 4c hair!Getting a perm last year was my best decision and my hair grew so fast in three months. I’m tired of people talking about everyone that gets relaxers going to have ovaries cancer or fibrosis etc that’s not true ! My grandmothers been getting their perms over three decades healthy as ever! If that was the case it’ll be so many black women with those illnesses including myself.
P.S. getting a perm or natural whichever works for your hair. Don’t be shaming someone that gets relaxers. We know what works for our hair! I’m tired of people acting like they always been pro natural where was this before natural even became popular some of y’all was still getting relaxers !😅
the perm isnt "growing your hair" I promise. Youre just maybe able to see the length its been growing more maybe due to shrinkage while its natural
I agree to each his own, let people do what they want. The food that we are eating is killing us too.😅
@@lacheinc idt she said the perm was growing her hair. She just said her hair was at its longest when it was permed. Probably because she was able to manage & take better care of it.

They literally cause cancer,fiybord tumors and endometriosis though all deadly conditions. My hair isn't worth that.
Shame
They do damage your brain in the long term but we’re just worried about the hair
I prefer to having a relaxer. My hair is very thick and hard to manage. I take very good care of my hair and can workout or get caught in the rain without caring about a silkpress.

@@msclassylady6620😅
I encourage you to research videos of women with Afro/Wooly textured hair that’s waist length or longer. If they are able to care for their hair, I don’t think it is fair to say our hair is really hard to manage. For me personally, I think technique, patience, and protective styling (no extensions) can make things a lot easier. This is coming from a woman with thick Afro/Wooly hair.
There are a lot of fun ways you can style your true hair, as well as style it in protective ways. If you would like to see, I have a playlist I can share.
Every relaxer damage hair. You can get your hair straighten without using relaxer.

No such thing as a relaxer that doesn't damage your hair. The issue with relaxer are the chemicals that are being absorbed into your brain!?

The key is not to over relax the hair by making it bone straight. That leaves the weaker and requires more maintenance then the average person knows or is willing to do. If you leave some curl pattern in the hair, relaxers can help achieve the goal of why some people get them.
Hair is a choice and your free to make those choices.

Comments did not disappoint. You literally have to damage your hair in order to “relax.” We should stop calling them relaxers but STRESSORS instead. Hair in its natural state is when it’s the most relaxed….
I agree 👍💯... Hair is already natural but when you go and grab something like a relaxer it cuz damage ... When your hair is natural you want to keep it up using chemicals will tear it down and get worsen

Not taking care of your hair damages your hair. Wigs and braids, damage hair too. If you don't take care of unpermed hair, it gets damaged too. It sheds as well. Get a professional that has a "growing hand" and real knowledge of hair to do your hair. You will get better results.
You're absolutely right, but the title is misleading. A relaxer always damages your hair, because it changes your hairstructure permanently. There is no such thing a damage free relaxer. And even if your hair grows, it's not healthy.
@user-ok4bq2hm7y I had a perm. My beautician took care of my hair. It was so healthy, that people thoughts it was weave. Overprocessed hair comes from those that don't know what they are doing by putting perm all over the hair instead of roots or people doing it themselves. I'm natural now but I feel my hair is not as healthy as it was.
@@fredahunter3654 there’s no possible way you’re hair is less healthy being natural than it was permed. That’s physically and chemically impossible. Learn how to care for your natural hair and you’ll see how much healthier it is when you flat iron natural hair then straightened permed hair. There’s a drastic difference. Permed hair has low shine and looks flat and thin while silk pressed natural hair is shiny bouncy and appears much thicker. Look at permed videos versus silk presses natural hair.
Look up perm damaged hair versus POTENTIAL damage from braids or wigs. You can see the broken hair in the sink as she washing the perm out. Perm damages 100% of the time even when done professionally and properly because it has to break your hair down to get it straight. wig or braids will only cause damage if you leave the style in too long or too tight or do something wrong. So you can’t compare the two because one will cause damage no matter what while the other only cause damage if you do it too tight or neglect your hair.
@xbabybriox respectfully, you can't tell me about my hair and my experience. The new school beautician are more so into weaves and not the care of hair. It is more about money for some. My beautician would have consultations on weaves, color and so on. no matter how long we had been her customer. She would tell us what is not good for your hair. She loved hair. I would give her 50 to 100 tips because she had may hair thick, shiny and flowing. People would ask to touch my hair, that just how pretty and thick it was. You may have had a bad experience, but I didn't. It is ok if you disagree.
Seeing the person washing out the relaxer with her hands, I remember the few times I used to do that, it felt as if my finger tips were burnt smooth and my fingernails looked stained yellow, while the edges were curled stiff and brown. You can just imagine the damage to the hair and scalp over time(that's another self abuse story to tell). These are some reasons why I went and stayed natural. Those chemicals are bad, just bad. It's a bad risk.
The music switch caught me off guard lol
All relaxers "damage"by breaking down the hair strand ...it's permanent....But you can over process and that cause "damage ' in the form of breakage and hair loss.
Yes, just as dyes do also ..
Big FACTZ
I have been a Professional Stylist for 30 yrs and have ran 4 large salons and served as a platform Artist for 10 yrs and I can honestly say…. Ain’t no such thing. Relaxers are “THE” WORST THING ANYBODY CAN PUT ON THEIR HAIR! Period!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
And that's the reason why those lawsuits right now advertising on WHUR in DC
@@roxibatmanmeow Too late now . Theyve been making these products specifically for black people and causing us to have healthy and ibfertility issues. Its all linked and its about money.
Exactly what I feel...😢❤❤
one thing period i will neverr do that againnn on my mama
I’ve been getting a relaxer for years! I am 52 & have never had a fibroid, any form of cancer etc. I followed the basic instructions on the box, do a relaxer 3 times for the year & I am fine.
Amen amen 👏👏👏👏 God is good 😊😊😊😊
The music is hilarious 😂
Just when you think “is this Christmas music??”, boom it switches up to naija beats lol
😃😀
Yeaaa there’s no way I’m going back to relaxers. Give yourself 2 years to get used to your natural hair and you won’t go back. I love seeing my curl pattern when I wash my hair
That’s a long time 😂
I went back to relaxers last year after being natural for 10 years. Afro is so high maintenance, I was over it.
Wow I love how you said you love seeing your curl pattern me to.
I'm not going back either. I transitioned by doing two-strand twists and discovered that my hair is so much more versatile now. However, it only took a few months for me to appreciate my curl pattern.
I’m going back in 2 weeks. I’m over being natural
As a professional relaxers are damaging to hair but if you choose to use relaxers then it SHOULD NOT be applied to the scalp..manufacturers say 1/5 an inch away from scalp I recommend an inch to 2 inches away from scalp leaving on the hair for less than 5 minutes…apply a neutralizing conditioner prior to scalp (olaplex or affirm) wash hair 3-4x then plastic cap conditioner w/ or w/out heat. Dry & Style follow up with Vida Hair growth products
i will pretend i didn't see chunks of hair falling as soon as you touched her hair 🤣🤣
Anyone who tells you that a perm doesn't damage your hair is a liar. They just want your money. No perm is worth your health. Silk press it and keep going.
I guess some haven't learned about ovaries cancers and fibrosis from relaxers.
Everyone is so worried about breakage ( as they should) but no one gets that relaxers causes HEALTH ISSUES! Smh
Many of us didn't know that. I truly wish we knew about this many years ago.
My Aunt never a relaxer a day in her life, and she had 2 fibroids on her ovaries! They were the size of grapefruits! Same with my Grandmother!
I believe the cancer is coming from the chemicals that are in the foods that we eat! Example is the steroids in the chickens that we ( Black folks) love to eat! Also don’t forget about the contaminated water that’s flowing into our communities!! Those are alongside with the cigarettes 🚬!
@@Kat_Beezy 💯
Ovaries cancer??? Fibrosis??🙄 How about ovarian cancer and uterine fibroids
Let’s normalize letting ppl do as they please with their money… let’s also normalize that everything doesn’t do everyone the same.
This 🙌🏽🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I really wish that people stop policing other folks about their hair! After 10 years, the natural hair trend/fad is coming to an end! Relaxers & texturizing are making their way back……
@@Kat_Beezy I personally never had an issue with a relaxer like ever. Doesn’t mean others haven’t but I’m not gonna make another woman feel less then for having one or not.!!. Period!
I think we should go back to normalizing the village where we are our sister’s keeper. It’s not about hair or money but our safety, well-being and ultimately our survival. Historically we are always being targeted by companies who sell us products that they know cause severe health issues and even death. I just think awareness is important. Because while some women use these products knowing the risks, there are women and girls who just don’t know.
@@Ebony_daughterofjudah I do agree, but if we’re completely honest most ppl don’t care about another person. Ppl are so big on shaming other ppl now based on their choices or how they want to do things. You are correct on lack of education. But not every woman has had an issue with a relaxer. Not every woman had / has a issue with being natural. But I don’t like how women shame other women because they don’t want to be natural. It’s sick.
No! 😂
You can have healthy hair and a relaxer. I had it and clearly soo does this lady 💜
I knew a friend with no splits ends and healthy relaxed hair people need to quit playing. My hair was long permed and my hair was long natural clipping those ends proper shampoo and conditioner is the key.
If gloves are required to be applied on my hair/skin, I don't use it. Period!
Oh that full natural hair is beautiful.
The Title is an ENTIRE oxymoron!!!
Im so glad we dont believe the lies anymore. I love every natural-haired woman I see
If the perms don't damage your hair, the heat and or color that is used will over time in one way or the other. The price of looking good smh
I was hoping to see how you were going to style her hair. But great job her relaxed hair came out nice 👍
All relaxers damage your hair. Don't trust a stylist who tells you anything different.
I love how you say that but hair was falling off when you was washing it out😅
This relaxer does wonders. My hair is fuller and longer than the lady in the video. I wish to do advert for the company.
The very nature of a relaxed is to damage hair. Undamaged hair would maintain it's texture/integrity.
I honestly miss them
Me too my hair was actually the healthiest when I was getting them. It was trained and had a routine. 4 years Natural and I've had to cut my hair 3x 🥺 like all off, shaved
@@ASMRSheSoCold and Shay Alexander ..what type hair? I have 3b, c and 4a mixed together. Those DIY hair mask work very good on my hair. Also the boiled onion water on my scalp 👌 ( anti fungal) I use rice water ever other wash ( protein for breakage) The conditioning mask I use is avocado, Aloe ( from a fresh stalk) bout 2 tablespoon of coconut oil, mashed banana , 3 tablespoon of mayo and 1 egg.. I also mix in joico k pack..and affirm reconstructor..and joico conditioner.
Get a steam treatment at least once a month and ends clipped. Satin bonnet or pillows. Keep it twist up...like don't mess with it alot.
My hair got cut off to 2 inches due to relaxer and a bleach service. Took me a while to understand my hair. It drinks moisture...and my scalp needed to be declogged ( onion water...cardi b wasn't lying. That really works) i also take collagen and lots of biotin and vitamins D...and a multivitamin ( everyday) good luck!
@Vonnie thank you so much for the info because I just don't know what to do with my hair 😅
@@ASMRSheSoCold np. I had 2inch of hair 3 years ago. 1 got about 16 1/2 inches now. In the beginning I kept having to get it cut too. Hair is weird...it likes what it likes 😂
Look at all the DIY mask. Try them out. Be blessed!
@@Vonnie24 thank you for that. You didn’t come all “natural hair nazi” on her for missing a relaxer. Every so often I miss the quickness of a relaxer but I’ve been natural about 20 years now. Thanks for the info about the hair masks also.
I used a permanent dye on my natural hair & was disappointed that it changed the texter of it. Henna from now on! That's a natural dye that slowly fades after washing.
As someone who's mother had her hair relaxed starting at the age of 12 I'm so glad that as I've gotten older she's allowed me to now get Dominican blowouts which is basically the same thing but it's less damaging
Years ago after canceling relaxers, I first missed the easy detangling and maintenance process of having relaxed hair, but it's definitely not worth using it and taking a risk on my health!
I would be pissed paying someone to use beauty supply store products on my hair No Ma'am!
That part!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Just for me!!! 🎶
All products come from beauty suppliers
I have not relaxed my hair since 2004. I will never relax my hair ever again. Amen.
Tell’em Never!
Her title did the job! Got us all here! Nah pass the popcorn 🍿
I think they posted this because they knew they’d get a lot of views. We all know that relaxers are harsh on our hair and skin and no telling what else.
All that Beautiful Healthy Hair. Killed.
It's your choice Beautiful Queen.
You are Beautiful with any hair.
Hair grows back. Have a chill pill
Y'all talking about hair in the sink like your hair doesn't fall out when you're washing, combing, touching it or leaving it alone when you're natural. Hair will always fall out unless you have some genetic mutation that causes your hair to stay on your head forever, never falling out no matter what you do
If it didn’t, the heat from that hair dryer did it, smoking up the whole screen
Im so glad i dont have to go every 6-8 weeks for the relaxer to burn my scalp! I hated it! Delivered!
Was that "Silent Night" playing in the background?
At first yes.
Yes lol
😂😂😂
I came to the comments to see if anybody else was confused about the music choice 😂
@@daniellethorne8317 🤣🤣🤣
Stick with slick press but it looks like her hair is tough and handles it well and that’s why it doesn’t mess up her hair cause relaxers damages
No perms for me in 15 years and I’m proud
She has beautiful hair ❤
It does damage hair, but the only way to stop it from damaging your hair is too give your hair protein treatment after relaxing, adding moisture and oiling your hair.
Relaxed hair or not, the young lady has a beautiful head of hair.🙂 I am proud to say I am 12 years creamy crack free tho😌
It’s not the chemicals all the time
Sometimes it’s the stylist
Do what’s best for your hair 🤎
Yall in the hair store
I noticed that too! I’m gonna assume that she didn’t want to (or she couldn’t afford to) pay her booth fees! I know a few LICENSED kitchen beauticians that used to do hair at their house, until they were able to get THEIR OWN salon!
But I’m trying to figure out if she based her temple, ears, scalp, & the nape of her neck BEFORE applying the relaxer?? 🤔🤔😕
That took me out
There are actual salons within beauty supplies
🥴
All relaxers damage your hair. It is what it is. You can’t try your best by not using them as often - but chemical is a chemical and natural will always be safer and better. Each their own. As someone that has been natural and relaxed, natural is always better even though it is more work. 🤷🏽♀️😊👍🏽
I have had uterine fibroid tumors back in 2018 and had to have a hysterectomy as of now I am suing one of the largest relaxers company.
If it doesn't damage your hair (which I don't believe for a second) it can sure damage your scalp. I always got some kind of chemical burn no matter how small.
Relaxers can be safe if they aren’t left on the hair until they are burning … we have been told that if it’s not burning it’s not working.. that’s where your breakage comes in .
Ohhhh that’s where the breakage comes in. Silly me, so we just gone skip over the fact that it causes CANCER right😑🤨
@@Ebony_daughterofjudah yes that and everything around us in this world … what are you gonna do tho… people will do what they want with their hair and what works for them
@@AshleyMartinez_ Do what you want but dont lie to people by pretending that there is no risk in putting soda on your head !
It’s a strong chemical. I’m glad the new generation is not falling for the nonsense.
That's a myth!
🫵🏽💋THIS TITLE IS TRUE!!!!
There are hair relaxers out there that do not damage the hair or degrade the hairs strand integrity. Rusk has a great hair relaxer. Optimum is a great one. So is cysteine hair relaxers and Thio relaxers! Thio, when Done right, actually relinks the disulfide bonds. No lie relaxers create lanthion bonds that, as far as I know, arent the best.

Where is that cap emoji?
🧢 here you go
😯 ohhh Such rudeness! Can someone tell me…WHY Do so many WOMEN hate other women so much??? 🤷🏽♀️ Is it impossible to be ladylike 😇💃🏾🤝and disagree without being nasty 🤕 or rude???😮
what do relaxers do to the hair?
Ive been a Hair Specialist for over 30 years and ive never seen or heard such stuff. FOOD and other things also can cause serious health problems like cancer. First of all the relaxer is not supposed to touch your scalp. And it is not supposed to sit in your hair... this is where education comes into it... over processing is a no no. When you know better you do better! Its your hair do what you want for your hair! Its yours!!!!!
I’VE BEEN RELAXER FREE SINCE 2012 AND WILL NEVER GO BACK. THEY WERE LITERALLY KILLING AND SUCKING THE LIFE OUT OF MY HAIR. SAD TO ADMIT, I NEVER SAW MY HAIR’S GORGEOUS NATURAL SPIRAL 🌀 CURL PATTERN UNTIL I STOPPED RELAXING IT 😢 SILK PRESS FOR ME 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯💯💯
Are they in a beauty supply store? 🤔
So? You never see a beauty supply store have also a salon? Also whats wrong though?
@@cambelasben No ma'am, I have not. But this is interesting. Now I know.
I said the Same thing!!! That's not a thing here in Chicago. So far yours is the only comment about this. These comments are mostly Judging the fact that she got a relaxer 🙄
@@cambelasben I never knew they perm hair in beauty supply stores. However, they do installs and styles down here in South Florida.
It may not cause any damage right off but over time it is detrimental to your hair health. U have Beautiful hair !! Just be you sis 😊
Relaxers have to damage the hair to straighten the hair. Proper application and after care is what keeps the hair in shape in on your head. Silk press doesn’t work for me as I need to wet my head a few times per week. I tried it and went two weeks without a wash and had sores in my head. Went natural but it was too much manipulation to still end up without a hairstyle plus oils and products irritate my scalp. Tried sisterlocks and even took the course but the establishment and the retightenings were torture and I knew that If I continued it would kill my follicles . So many of the hair maintenance products marketed to black women are hazardous to ones health. My hair thrives with relaxers daily rinsing and proteins. We are all different despite our similarities. Eliminating as many factors that can cause cancer is all we can do, so some may eliminate one thing while still including something else that may be an issue.
I just came for the comments because I knew this was a lie lol Its been 11 years since my last relaxer and I still feel the same. I am NEVER getting a relaxer again. I don't know how anyone goes back to them. I don't miss that burn for shit.
I’m just not gone say nothing, but I’ma still comment lol
😂😂😂
If you are going to relax your hair be sure to use one it’s lye. The no lye relaxers or calcium hydroxide or guanidine relaxers prevent your hair from receiving moisture and eventually breaks.
True
Yes!!! It's abso-fabulously true !!! I switched to lye real quick and my hair's never felt silkier...
@@Maames my hair was long and healthy with affirm lye relaxer back in the day. Then I had a stylist tell me to switch to that phytospecific no lye. My hair turned for the worst. Broke all off.
@@jonestacara oh nooo!!! So sorry to hear that. Affirm is a great product too. Why did she suggest you do that?
@@Maames this was a long time ago when it first came out and the marketing for that product must have been good because a lot of people switched. It touted how it was no lye and healthier for the hair and had these plant ingredients etc. I have been natural for years now.
I just relaxed my hair first time by my self no burning issues or nothing and no hair loss. I love it
If you've ever Naired hair off that's what it reminds me of watching this video.
To each their own. But for me and my house, bye creamy crack- since 2019😁
ALL RELAXERS DAMAGE HAIR!!!
Thank you for lifting her head and getting the relaxer off of her neck. Had to fight with so many stylists back in the day to get the relaxer off of my nape and neck. Sheesh Great job. her hair looks healthy and amazing.
But I like going back-and-forth from curly to straight hair, so I’ll keep getting my silk presses
