Hair relaxer information needed....?

I'm a caucasian woman with natural wavy hair. I haven't used any perms on my hair for about 3 years. I used to have a hair straightener put on my hair every 2 or 3 months. It would stay straight somewhat. There were some curls here and there.





I work with a woman that had a friend in high school (graduated in early 90's) and she went to a salon that put relaxer, used for african-american women, on her hair; the woman's hair was curly than mine.


This woman has not had to put another relaxer or buy flat irons. The woman hair is straight and shiny; from the pics anyways.





My question is, will this work for me and not damanage my hair? My 16 year old wants this done as well. I love straight hair and wan't it without all of the fuse with flat irons. Please help.Hair relaxer information needed....?
with a relaxer you will have to go back in for touch ups because it only alters the hair that is outside the head, it cannot change your genetics to give you straight hair forever...are you sure that she has not gotten another one of flat irons? anywho, yes it will work for you...damage depends on how well you take care of your hair before and after you put the relaxer in.Hair relaxer information needed....?
