hey, im 22 and a guy, and ive got about 4 inch long, hair, see the thing is i straightened my hair today with a relaxer and it gave me great results, see a month ago i relaxed it, but the effect had worn off, wut i mean by that is my hair was still curly after the treatment, and basically did nothing, so i waited over a month and relaxed it again, because it was really curly again, so i knew that it was time to straighten, did i damage ? i asked my sister about it and shes done it before and says that im fine, how do iknow if its damaged?Hair relaxer question?
i dont think youve damaged it, otherwise your hair would have fallen out. but it really all depends on how long you kept it on for. i know that its time to rinse the relaxer out when theres either no curl left or its wavy. i dont suggest putting another relaxer on already relaxed hair. it will damage and break, just do the regrowth.Hair relaxer question?
Its probably not, but it can dry your hair out. Ive had a relaxer, but my hair is real long now and its grown out.

Hair Relaxer question, please answer?
Ok, I'm a dude, I like long hair but my hair is sorta frizzy, well like when I take a shower my hair is straight but then it sorta gets poofy. So I had a party a week ago and I went to a salon (Fantastic Sam's) to get my hair starighted up for the party, the lady who was straightning my hair told me to consider my hair getting permantly straight via Hair relaxing it. I'm not White nor African-American, Im hispanic so My hair is thick. Right now my hair is about half my eyes lenght, doyou guys think I should get my hair relaxed? Thanks. Oh and I don't get Afro's neither, it's just that it gets poofy and I hate it, I have wavy hair...Hair Relaxer question, please answer?
if you prefer your hair relaxed, then relax it but check that it wont damage your hair before you use the product.Hair Relaxer question, please answer?
I think you should get it relaxed since that's what you like. Just know, relaxers are not permanent, and will require upkeep. The faster your hair grows, the more often you will have to get it done.
When your hair is not naturally straight, it's essentially curly...the tighter the curl the more coarse a person's hair feels. For caucasians, perms will curl their hair, all other nationalities without straight hair, perms straightens the hair. As your hair grows it requires ';touch ups';, so be prepared to pay the extra money for the upkeep if you opt to get your hair relaxed instead of finding a nice cut to compliment your facial features with your hair in it's natural state. Good luck.
***Now can I get best answer?***
im not sure but i no you can look it up on google

Hello! I current have this kind of hair
http://img171.imageshack.us/my.php?image鈥?/a>
or like a little shorter than this with layers.
I want to do something different for my upcoming 14th b-day.. since i'm going to high-school and blah blah blah.. i am tired of my old hair

http://img168.imageshack.us/my.php?image鈥?/a>
Soo.. what do you guys think? what is ur opinion? please tell.
and if u knw.. can u tell how much does it cost to do highlights, relaxing hair, and getting a cut?
Thanks so muchHair relaxer and highlight opinion? (pic included w/ detail)?
Well, your hair looks very thick and very unmanageable. However, I would advise you to do the straightener first and that usually costs anywhere from ($65+) and I say that high considering your length and thickness. A cut usually runs ($13+) depending on where you go. and some places have up to 5 foils for a pretty decent price (where I work it's $3.00 per foil up to 5) then it starts climbing after 6 and of course most places charge for length as well. I honestly think that you can get a relaxer put into your hair and it will be less frizzy and of course all over the place. I will also say that you should wait at least 2 weeks to get your hair highlighted so you can give it time to get all the chemicals from the relaxer out of your hair. If you do it the same time there will be noticeable breakage off the red part. Also get a deep conditioning treatment done to put back the proteins that were stripped from your hair while relaxing. Do not do a vo5 treatment as they do not work(oil and water= don't mix well together). Before you do get a relaxer because it does sound like its your first time doing one, you should get a patch test done on your arm to make sure that you will not be allergic to the relaxer. And for recommended products for your hair I would advise using the Mizani thermasmooth shampoo and conditioner after your relaxer. It's honestly a great product. Good luck to you.Hair relaxer and highlight opinion? (pic included w/ detail)?
its ok . i kinda think curly hair is cute .
highlights are about 75 and up
relaxer is 50+ , depending on what kind u get
cut - mininum of 10
The salon I work at prices range depending on the stylist. For a partial highlight and cut its about $120+. I would be careful about highlighting and then relaxing your hair. Both services combined are very damaging to your hair, and your hair could break off. But depending on what kind of relaxer you do it could be another $100-$800.
that sounds like a great idea!
that style is very cute and very in right now
u might evn want to buy a straightner because my friend
had her hair chemically relaxed and she still had to smooth
over some kinks
also if u wnat to get highlights that arent a natural color
like red or blue
get the washout kind to expirement then if u luv it go to ur stylist

Will my hair fall out if I used a relaxer then 4 months later use a reconstructive perm?
Depends on your hair. If it's healthy you should be ok. If your hair is fried, it might dissolve completely.Will my hair fall out if I used a relaxer then 4 months later use a reconstructive perm?
Its best to wait longer cause it damages your hair. However all of your hair will NOT fall out but it might cause some of it to fall out and be thinner.Will my hair fall out if I used a relaxer then 4 months later use a reconstructive perm?
It all depends on your hair. I can relax my hair, blow dry it, and dye it all in the same day and not a hair will fall out. it is all about elasticity.
The relaxer really needs to grow out or be cut out. After 4 months you only have approximately 1-2 inches of growth so unless you want hair that's 1-2 inches long, I suggest you let it grow out. It's two totally different chemical mixes that shouldn't mix. All of your hair might not fall out but, it will be like bubble gum and very damaged and brittle.
relaxers, perms, bleach all have the ability to destroy the integrity of your hair. im not saying its a solid yes, i dont know what your hair looks like. but major possibility is a lot of breakage, hair turning into mush then rolling off, and an altogether not so pretty look.
i would definately look into some moisture/protein treatments, and get a good trim too if your hair looks toast.acne scars

How can you keep your hair straight for a long time without putting a relaxer?
Even though I still get my hair relaxed I don't do it nearly as much as I use to. Maybe once every four months. I bought a Chi 1 inch flat iron and it is AMAZING! It straightens my roots and everything. Then I wrap it and in the morning my hair looks like it just got permed. I wish I had a before and after picture to show but I don't so just take my word for it and buy a CHI.How can you keep your hair straight for a long time without putting a relaxer?
the only way i can think is to not wash it... the only problem being that it gets greasy. i work at a drug store, and we sell this product called Pssst, or something like that. what it is, is a spray on shampoo that requires no water... it just absorbs the oils and stuff. id straighten your hair with a flat iron and then try a product like that.How can you keep your hair straight for a long time without putting a relaxer?
you can have straight hair w/out a relaxer, by buying a straightening iron (ceramic is the best) don't get your hair wet. And wrap it up at night. If you feel like you need to wash your hair you can try waterless shampoo ( its like a powder )

My hair is pressed and I want to put a relaxer in it. Is it okay or should I wash it first?
dont relax it now, that would be very bad depending on your hair type.
you can but dont leave it in for a long time or use the organic relaxer or olive oil relaxer. it dosent burn when you use it.My hair is pressed and I want to put a relaxer in it. Is it okay or should I wash it first?
i have a relaxer in me hair
and its not good dont get it done to often or your hair will start falling out
no joke hope this helps (x)My hair is pressed and I want to put a relaxer in it. Is it okay or should I wash it first?
Well if you get a relaxer get it in about a week don't wash your hair first. If you have really thick coarse hair. Use a super no-lye relaxer (african pride, fabolaxer, soft and beautiful) or a coarse lye relaxer (such as motions).
Are you doing a touch-up?
If it's a relaxer for virgin hair, consider that a relaxer will weaken your hair and make it more prone to damage from combing, the elements, ect.
If for a touch up, do it WITHOUT washing your hair. The natural oils and products already in your hair and on your scalp, though maybe small amounts, will actually provide some protection, though little, from the active chemical ingredients that relax your curl pattern.
That may not sound like a big enough deal to not wash, but it might keep you from chemical burns, that will turn into sores and scabs on your scalp within days.

Hey. You should wait at least a week before relaxing it. But if you got it pressed within the last couple weeks I would wait 3 or 4 weeks before relaxing it. You shouldn't put too much on your hair in such a short amount of time. If you are waiting for the 3 or 4 weeks to do the relaxer then yes, go ahead %26amp; wash your hair %26amp; condition it now. But if you plan on relaxing in the next week then no do not wash it.
And what type of relaxer you get depends on what type hair you have. If you have fine hair then a box perm will work fine for you. But if you have thick hair then you should go to a hairdresser %26amp; get a professional perm done. Which I recommend going to a professional for your perms anyway.
its better to keep it press that way when u relax it, it would be straight already.
my hair is natural and on occasion i flat iron it. i have went from relaxed to natural 3 times in the past 15 years and this time i sticking to my natural hair. our hair is beautiful and there is so much you can do with it. yes a relaxer is easier but natural you have more versatility; but to answer your question you don't have to unless you plan on relaxing it 24hrs or more after washing. why? because after washing your pores are open and it will burn immediately.
I would not wash my hair first. When you wash your hair this will cause your scalp to become irritated, may cause your relaxer to burn your scalp. This is caused a chemical burn. When you put the relaxer in be sure you take it to the very end of your hair. if time or money allows the first time you should let a professional do it!!
i think u should wash it and wear it natural for about 7 days before u get i relaxed

Dying Hair After Using A Relaxer?
I've been getting ready for a formal event this Sunday, and had plans on getting my hair cut and dyed on Friday, but I had a relaxer put into my hair today. Will this make my hair fall out or severely damage it? I really want it done for Sunday, but I just wanted to know what I'm dealing with..
Any advice would be appreciated.Dying Hair After Using A Relaxer?
If you are African American (black) yes that would damage your hair... I would not recommend you dye your hair at all. There are other ways to cut and change your hair color. I recommend a quick weave. You wont have to take the risk of damaging your hair.Dying Hair After Using A Relaxer?
dont dye it!
there's a chance your hair could fall out if u dye the whole thing..
too many chemicals in too little time!
