Okay i have a couple questions about hair relaxers etc.?

1. i use just for me [regular]. is it actually less harsh on hair ?!





2. do you have to cut your hair when you stop wanting perms? my mom says if you stop gettin perms it will tangle up at the roots and break off.





3. earlier today someone made a comment about me not having edges [although my hair looks the same when i need a touch up, i think it may appear thinner because of the perm], do perms burn away edges?Okay i have a couple questions about hair relaxers etc.?
1. Most people use regular and it is sufficient. Is it less harsh on hair compared to ???? A super, perhaps but it depends on the person, their hair type, the application, etc...





2. Not necessarily, if you take care of it. Basically the straighter ends can break because you have to agitate your natural hair at the roots (new growth) more when wet, especially once you get more than 3-4inches of new growth. The place where the new growth %26amp; relaxed hair meet is delicate. Plus some people think it looks odd because the ends will look thinner cause its straight, while the hair at the roots looks fuller. So when people know they are going back natural they'll cut their hair short (pixie/bobs), if not shave it down so they don't deal with the hassle. To avoid a bog chop up front some people wear braids and weaves for months until the natural hair gets to a length they can wear the fro, dreds, twisties the way they like.





3. If your relaxer is not applied properly your hair might break on the edges, if you pull your hair back too taut for too long, the edges might break - but thats true of braids/natural styles as well.
