Best Answer

A hair relaxer or straightener is a two-step chemical treatment that opens the hair's cuticle and after being combed straight, is neutralized with the second step that closes the hair's cuticle. It is very similar to a perm and uses strong chemicals, so make sure you have someone that is not only familiar with relaxers, but is familiar with doing them on your ethnicity, since the hair type matters a lot.
