Hair relaxers are not neutral; they are typically alkaline. Most relaxers contain strong chemicals like sodium hydroxide or calcium hydroxide, which work by breaking down the protein structure of the hair to straighten it. This alkaline nature helps in opening the hair cuticle for better penetration and effectiveness of the product. However, it's crucial to follow up with a neutralizing shampoo to restore the hair's pH balance after treatment.
