Self-applied hair relaxers?

If you go to Target or something, buy a relaxer, and comb it through your hair following the instructions on the box, what happens?





Will it make your hair perfectly straight?


Will it come out all crappy if you aren't a Professional?Self-applied hair relaxers?
When you go to a store and buy a box relaxer it usually says ';no lye';. But when you get home and you mix the two contents together, it becomes a lye, so therefore its a lie. At home relaxers are not good for your hair at all. And pending on what you have already done with chemicals in the past, there really is no sure way to tell the outcome. So please, my suggestion would be to go see a professional to get it done, or get them to do a hair analysis and consultation and tell you whats best.
