Anyone who uses hair relaxers help me?

well i havent used them in a while as in several years but i want to know what age groups should use the kids relaxers like beautiful begginings and which age group should use the adult like dark and lovely because im like 13 turning 14 soon so im not sureAnyone who uses hair relaxers help me?
It does depend on your hair type. My sister was 12 when she got her first relaxer at the salon and I was 14. At home my sister and I use Optimum the regular strength for touching up the roots. Make sure you get your ends clipped every 4 to 6 weeks and use a good conditioner and grease your scalp because the relaxer can leave your hair in a fragile state and break more easily if you don't take care of it. Also, don't forget to wrap your hair up every night in a satin scarf. It makes a big difference. If you will be applying heat to your hair like a curling iron or flat iron, I suggest you use a heat protectant like Motions. Also, for a flat iron, I LOVE the CHI! It is ceramic and is way less damaging on the hair and leaves the hair silky like at the salon. Good luck!Anyone who uses hair relaxers help me?
I advise you to go to a salon to have it done.. The results will be much better than if you do it yourself at home.
You should be able to use a adult relaxer. Don't use dark and Lovely. Try Revlon Realistic and get the mild formula, or use Dr. Miracles Relaxer in the mild formula.
well im 13 and i have very thick long hair so i use bantu mild! but it depends on your hair type. it really doesnt matter your age group...
First, decide if you really want a relaxer because you will have to make a commitment to getting touch-ups every 6 weeks. If you don't, the transition point between your natural hair and the processed hair will become brittle and may cause breakage. If you decide to go with the relaxer I advise letting a pro do it. The chemicals can not only be harsh on your hair, but on your scalp as well. I would always recommend seeing a professional when chemically treating your hair, ESPECIALLY for a virgin perm.
It all depends on the texture of your hair. If your hair is somewhat straight already but your roots are not, you can still use a kids relaxer because you don't need anything too strong because your hair might not be as coarse as another person's hair. And don't forget that adult perms come with in mild and strong. Then you also have those with or with out lye. So depending on how straight your hair needs to be and/or its texture should be the major factor in deciding on relaxers.
