Chemical hair straightening and curling is not a difficult procedure, but it does require a thorough technical knowledge of the relaxing process. Therefore it should always be performed by a hair care professional with a track record of success.

A professional will evaluate current hair texture, porosity, elasticity and the presence or absence of any hair damage. Fine, chemically lightened, or colored hair generally requires a very mild  formula. Normal, medium-textured virgin hair can tolerate regular strength relaxers and perms.

Chemical straightening and perming actually rearranges the basic structure of the hair so that it is able to form a new shape. Once hair has been chemically re-texturized, it requires extra special care to overcome the effects of the drying chemicals. Re-textured hair will require deep conditioning treatments at least 1-2 times a week. Be sure to use a good detangling product and to use a wide toothed comb to detangle from the ends of the hair to the roots.

While re-texturizing will offer a new range of hair styles, it should not be undertaken lightly because it may damage the hair and it will require a new commitment to post conditioning and special hair care.
