Straightening & Texture

Chemical hair straightening 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 with straightening.

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 relaxing formula. Normal, medium-textured virgin hair can tolerate regular strength relaxers.   Coarse virgin hair may require a strong or super relaxing formula.

Chemical straightening actually rearranges the basic structure of overly curly hair so that is straight.  Once hair has been chemically straightened it requires extra special care to overcome the effects of the drying chemicals.  Relaxed 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 detonable from the ends of the hair to the roots.

While straightening 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 relaxing conditioning and special hair care.
