Hair Relaxer!!! Please Help!!?

I have very frizzy and curly hair and whenever i straighten it it just doesn't do anything. I want to get my hair relaxed and i want to know how long it lasts, how long do i have to not wash my hair, and how much it roughly costs. Keep in mind that i want it temporary and i want to get it done at Regis salon in Stonestown in San Francisco. so please someone tell me how long it lasts and what i should do.





Please And Thank You! Hair Relaxer!!! Please Help!!?
Firstly, relaxers are very harsh chemicals that break down the bonds of your hair, weakening it to make it straight (straight if you have curly hair and if you have straight hair it makes it curly). I'm so done with those things. It's also not good for your health in the long run (gives you cancer), not everyone's hair can tolerate these harsh chemicals as it can break your hair (in other cases make you bald) and it makes your hair extremely dry. Sure there are those who keep it in tip top shape, but that requires A LOT of maintenance.





Relaxed hair is not temporary it is permanent. The ends of your hair will remain relaxed while when you start having some new growth at the roots your natural textured hair will be there and that grows on average half an itch a month. Some people get a ';touch up'; every month just at the roots to keep it in line with the rest of the hair. It is best to relax hair every 3 months or so if you're going to do it to rest your hair of harsh chemicals every month. Relaxed hair will also need LOTS of moisture!





It depends on the salon you go to for the cost and how long your hair is (can be more expensive if you have long hair). Around my way it cost $40 and up. You can wash your hair whenever you like but I will suggest if you got a fresh perm to not ruin it so much by at least not washing hair for a week, just moisture (you will NEED to) 'till you can do your regular regimine.





Honestly you should just flat iron your hair and get some hair serums to protect your hair from the heat and to keep it smooth. You can also try to rock your beautiful curly hair too by buying some products specifically for curly hair that will tame those frizzes and curls. Wouldn't it be lovely to go from straight to curly whenever you feel like it? If you like that idea don't relax your hair!
