Where can I get a hair relaxer cream?
So I'm hispanic and my hair used to be really long straight and healthy until the second time I got my highlights done the stylist used bleach when I normally had my highlights done with hair dye instead. So after that my hair has been really wavy, puffy and dry. %26amp; I have cut all the dry ends but my hair grows really slow. It's been almost 6 months since i cut my hair and it hasn't grown much.. But now since it's above my shoulders and it has layers, it gets supper puffy and wavy. So I wanted to know what method or creams I can apply to it ? Thank you so much !Where can I get a hair relaxer cream?
DO NOT use relaxer over procesed hair or it WILL fall out. Just wait until the color grows out then go to BEAUTY SUPPLY WAREHOUSE and get a hair relaxer that is for CHILDREN (it is much gentler and since you are hispanic you do not need the strong version which is for african american hair). Just for Me is a good brand for you but leave it on onle for 7 minutes regardless of what the package says.

What to do with my hair? +Relaxer?
I want to start 2009 with a new do. :)
Buuut I'm not sure what to do with it, I cut it short a few months ago (Aug) and it grew pretty quickly, now I'm really bored of it.
This is how it was when I had it cut:

I-kinda-maintained it with a very crappy straightener:

But then it broke and everything went a bit awry and I've taken to wearing a hat:
http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/image鈥?/a>
http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/image鈥?/a>
Everytime I get a relaxer my hair just goes back to being mega frizzy, curly and kinda dull after a couple of washes.
Anyway, I'm going to get some good pencil GHDs for xmas and I want a new hair style that is maintainable for sixth form and also suits me.
Kinda want some layers, but I'm not sure if that would be a good idea with my texture hair and it being short.
I'd say it's about 6inches long..
Pllleeease help.

You and your hair are really pretty. Are there curls under there? Visit www.mixedchicks.netWhat to do with my hair? +Relaxer?
get a nice straightener, it doesnt need to be Chi, but something on the same level. cut it again, or let it continue to gro, and the hat looks kinda good. dont bleach the tips, that looks dumb
THIS IS TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LONG

I am african american and puertorican . if i get a relaxer willl it make my hair coarse like black hair ?
yes
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?鈥?/a>I am african american and puertorican . if i get a relaxer willl it make my hair coarse like black hair ?
as flower girl said, except, it's not a good idea to use a reg, if ur hair is not course. But a kiddie or a mild relaxer. and make sure u go to a professional black hair salon. it's not a good idea to relax it urself if ur new 2 itI am african american and puertorican . if i get a relaxer willl it make my hair coarse like black hair ?
Although it damages the hair that can be if you take care of it.I have silky,Shiny,relaxed hair ,without necessary using a flat iron and i love the way it looks.So I'm sure that can happen.
If you get your hair relaxed by an experienced professional, absolutely, your hair would be silky! I absolutely do not recommend you buy a cheap box relaxer and do it yourself - you aren't skilled at doing a relaxer, and who knows what could happen (breakage, hair falling out, fried, etc).
I suggest you make some calls to salons in your area. Make sure to ask what type of relaxer they use. Mizani Butter Blends (NOT the original formula), Affirm, and Dudley's are the best salon relaxers in my opinion. Also ask about the stylist's experience. If the receptionist cannot answer any of these ';technical'; type questions, chances are the salon is not very good and/or they don't do many relaxers.
Also, just FYI - many women of color have course looking hair because they apply cheap box relaxers themselves, which is unfortunately common practice. Their hair could be quite nice and silky/soft if they went to a professional. Since you are biracial, I suspect you could get especially nice results, but make sure the stylist knows not to use a strong/resistant relaxer formula (a good stylist will know this immediately).
No, just do not over process and you should be fine. Depending on your hair texture you may want to try a kiddie perm for starters. Another alternative would a relaxer by Motions, in a yellow and purple jar, get the one that says moisturizing relaxer (Regular). Get the shampoo and conditioner that go with it. This product will leave your hair very manageable, soft and shiny. You may want to try Silk Elements relaxer, it's very affordable, usually you can find it at Sally's beauty supply chains. It leaves your hair lightweight, silky and feathery with mucho bounce, love this product but hard to find. -Bronze and cream jar and bottles.

Does anyone know of a relaxer that allows you to air dry your hair straight? ?
The times that i have used a relaxer when i just let it air dry its still extremely frizzy and thick. I have to use a flat iron to get it straighter which is irritating, time consuming and even more damaging to my hair. I'm looking for a relaxer or some sort of straightening system that will allow me to simply wash and air dry with the outcome of straight.
Does anyone know of a relaxer that allows you to air dry your hair straight? ?
I would have to say that with African American hair- our hair will never be bone straight without at least a blow dry. Then- it will be dry and some type of oil sheen, or grease applied to your hair will rectify that. I honestly had the same question but it is not the relaxer- it is our natural hair- going back into its ';semi'; curl pattern after it is relaxed with a man-made chemical. I really hope this helps. God Bless!Does anyone know of a relaxer that allows you to air dry your hair straight? ?
You should invest in an ionic bonnet hair dryer. Still heat but does not apply it as concentrated on hairs as a blow dryer. Try styling your hair into a flat wrap - wrapping wet hair with setting lotion around your head completely. Unfortunately, depending on hair length/thickness you'll have to sit under the dryer a long time 2hrs or more to get completely dry to avoid frizziness. Or the roller wrap, set your hair with the largest rollers possible and sit under the dryer. It'll be straight with body.
hiii :)
Yeah try going to your local hairdressers or a really profesional one and ask about getting Chemical straightening done, it leaves your hair lookin immaculatly straight and theres no need for blow drying or straighteners.
It can cost from about 拢50- 拢300, and lasts upto a year, but its good investment if you c.b.a with flat irons and relaxers all the time
good luck :D!!
xxxxxxx
products like these are heat activated. so no..

What will happen to your hair if you got a relaxer right after you took out your fake hair?
about to take fake hair out wanna know what to do with my hairWhat will happen to your hair if you got a relaxer right after you took out your fake hair?
Well relaxers are never healthy for your hair anyway, so yee. But umm, I think you should wait a little before relaxing it RIGHT after you take out the fake hair. Because the fake hair already breaks a little of your own hair and your hair becomes slightly weaker, (depending on wether it's a weave or extensions, and what type) so relaxing it right after isn't that much help. I think you should let your hair BREATHE a little, first. And THEN torture your hair again.:)
I don't think it will make that much of a difference anyway, because as I said, relaxers are never quite healthy. ;)What will happen to your hair if you got a relaxer right after you took out your fake hair?
You can relax your hair. How ever the tension from pulling out the hair may make the relaxer burn.how to apply
