What do they do..like step by step? Do they use a hot iron or whatver? THnx in advance!!Hair relaxers like salon ones?
Relaxers are pretty much all the same, there might be a couple of chemical components, and some peoples hair type might work better with one brand then another, but its generally all the same. My cousin was so bold a couple of weeks ago to take her box relaxer to her stylist. With gas sky high, a toddler, and another baby on the way she's had to cut out her bi/tri-weekly appts. She bought a $6-7 perm to save money and was gonna put it in herself, but after 10-15yrs of salon hair, she packed up the kit and took it to her stylist who applied it and only charged her for the style about $30 as oppose to $45-50. I don't advise anyone else to try that or prepare to be cursed out, but the point is relaxers are pretty much the same. So its mainly about skill and technique. Make sure its mixed thoroughly, you apply it properly with a rat tail comb or application brush, and give it enuff time to process your hair. stylists are/should be careful not to overlap perm on already permed hair. Neutralize thoroughly and deep condition. BTW you can order some professional perms online.


Its some of the post relaxer products that you want to pay attention to - conditioners and styling products, professional grade some of those do work better than drug store brands. So if you can't invest in the professional perm, buy the styling products to use at home.Hair relaxers like salon ones?
DO NOT TRY TO MAKE YOUR OWN RELAXER!!!! no good will come from it... i have thick curly hair too. to soften it, believe it or not, baby lotion works great! and instead of a relaxer, try a texturizer! Sally's Beauty Supply is an affordable place to get it all!





!!!GOOD LUCK!!!


and God bless
