If you are thinking about relaxing your hair, you should keep in mind that the effects of this process will last between six and eight weeks.<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now, also, you should know that during those six months, your hair will grow, and the new hair will have its natural, curly pattern.<\/p>\n What does that mean?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Let me tell you my story and part of my battle to domesticate my hair, that is by definition, un-tame-able.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I have curly hair, or better yet, unbearably curly hair. <\/span>\n Since I was little, my mother and my grandmother fought with brush in hand to give my hair a moderately neat look.<\/p>\n And even then, they always lost the battle, because my curls didn\u2019t listen to reason. <\/p>\n That little girl with irate, untamable curls, meaning me, grew up to \u00a0to be a beautiful young lady.<\/p>\n But despite my natural beauty, my hair continued being a disaster. After trying absolutely everything, even an Argentinian technique called \u201ctoca,\u201d I decided that was enough curls for me.<\/p>\n I would rather dye than walk around life with an untamable, curly mane.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So I armed myself with courage and decided to relax my hair.<\/p>\n If you are living in the same hell as I was, trying to simply govern your own hair, stay with me. Or, keep wasting your energy on the divine bun to dominate your curls.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Because I will tell you:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n I\u2019m sure that you know already that your hair naturally contains keratin, a protein that is comprised of sulfides. When these sulfides come together, they form a disulfuric bond, which is what determines the pattern of our curls in the end.<\/p>\n The more disulfuric links that you have, the curlier hair you will have.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n What the relaxer does is break the disulfuric bonds, and not I the figurative sense, of your hair and reestablish the internal structure of the hair, making the hair go from curly to straight.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Pay close attention to what I\u2019m going to tell you.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n That change to the internal structure of your hair is permanent. It is forever. Once it is relaxed, you hair will never go back to being the same again. <\/span>\n There is no going back once you\u2019ve relaxed your hair.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The relaxer between six and eight weeks, but your hair will never go back to normal. <\/span>\n And also, the hair that grows in will have the natural pattern of your curls<\/a>.<\/p>\n That\u2019s why, at your roots, you will need to do some retouching as soon as you notice that your hair is growing in.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Additionally, you should know that to relax your hair, you will use chemicals. Chemicals that should be strong because they are changing the molecular structure of your hair.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Today, there are two types of relaxers: Ley Relaxers and Non-Lye relaxers. <\/span>\n <\/p>\n Lye or alkaline relaxers work quicker in the hair, but the result also doesn\u2019t last as long. It\u2019s main ingreident is sodium hydroxide.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Non-lye relaxers contain calcium hydroxide, which can dry out the hair and it is recommended for those people that have a sensitive scalp.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In my case, for example, I was about to touch the sky with my hands.<\/p>\n I forgot to fight for hours with brush in hand<\/a>, to get my hair to look the least bit decent.<\/p>\n I feel more confident in myself because I don\u2019t know if you\u2019ve ever heard of this, but hair is the frame of your face.<\/p>\n If your frame is twisted, the painting doesn\u2019t look good.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If your hair looks like a vulture\u2019s nest, your face doesn\u2019t look good. That\u2019s how it is for me and for all those of us that fight with possessed curls.<\/p>\n In the end, relaxed hair is easier to wash, comb, and detangle, in addition to being able to forget about frizz even though it\u2019s 100% humidity outside. <\/span>\n And for me, the best advantage is that: you won\u2019t use the flat iron or hair dryer for eight weeks. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now, it\u2019s also important that you know that like all chemical processes, applying relaxers has its risks.<\/p>\n And you should put those into the balance if you decide to relax your hair.<\/p>\n Because like everything, what works for me may not work for you.<\/p>\n After all, every person\u2019s hair is like another world.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Relaxers can cause terrible damage to your hair and scalp if they are applied incorrectly.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It\u2019s a process that I advise you not to do at home.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Go to a salon and choose the professional carefully because even the temperature of the room where you do the treatment can increase the speed of the chemical reactions. <\/span>\n <\/p>\n The chemical products used in relaxing treatments are very strong and should be applied at the level of the scalp to get the desired effect.<\/p>\n If it is done incorrectly, it can cause chemical burns on the scalp which can cause an infection or a permanent loss of hair.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Additionally, if the relaxer is left on for too long it can cause massive breakage to the hair.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I\u2019m not telling you all of this so that you panic. I mean, I did a relaxing treatment and I\u2019m happy. <\/span>\n But also, I\u2019m one of those that believes that you should make decisions based on responsibility about all of the decisions that have to do with our hair.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And to make the best decision, it\u2019s necessary to know the benefits and the risks of the relaxers.<\/p>\n Only then you will be able to know if relaxing your hair is the best option to dominate your curls, don\u2019t you think?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Check shampoo for relaxed hair price on Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The relaxer makes your hair more vulnerable to damage and breakage. That\u2019s why it is essential to do an intensive conditioning treatment consistently and regularly to restore the moisture in your hair<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n In my case, I condition my hair twice a week two weeks before relaxing my hair.<\/p>\n And after, I put all my worries into caring for my hair so that the relaxer lasts longer and looks more beautiful.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\nThey were like finicky curls that raised up with rage at the slightest threat to try to tame them.<\/p>\n\n\n
