No. The chemicals are what makes the hair straight.
Yes, a no lye relaxer still contains chemicals that alter the natural structure of the hair. The difference between a no lye relaxer and a lye relaxer is the type of chemical used to achieve the straightening effect. Lye relaxers use sodium hydroxide, while no lye relaxers use potassium hydroxide or calcium hydroxide.
Thio relaxers use ammonium thioglycolate to break the disulfide bonds in the hair, while hydroxide relaxers use hydroxide ions to break the disulfide bonds. Thio relaxers are milder and are often used on fine or damaged hair, while hydroxide relaxers are stronger and are better for coarse or resistant hair.
The pH of hair relaxers typically ranges from 9 to 14, depending on the product. Relaxers with higher pH levels are more alkaline and can cause more damage to the hair if not used properly. It's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for application and timing to minimize potential harm to the hair and scalp.
Various hair texture services like wet sets, thermal styling, and chemical treatments like permanent waves or relaxers can affect the side bonds in the hair. Wet sets and thermal styling temporarily alter hydrogen bonds in the hair shaft, while perm solutions and hydroxide relaxers break and reform disulfide bonds to reshape the hair's structure permanently. These processes change the way side bonds in the hair interact, leading to altered texture and shape.
An easy way to dye your hair without any harsh chemicals is using koolaid. Mix the koolaid mix of your desired color with your average conditioner.spread the mix with a paint brush on to your hair and wrap with tin foil and let set for around two hours. unwrap and wash conditioner out of hair. This does not work well though if you are wanting more natural colors.
The same exact way relaxers do. Chemicals alter your hair & make the wave or curl pattern loosen.
You do not buy relaxers based on the colour of your hair.
NO!!! Your hair will fall out!!!! Relaxers have a lot of chemicals, and so do dyes. That is too much chemicals for hair to take in one day.....

20-30% Relaxers are damaging to the scalp and hair. Use a flat iron. More women use flat irons than relaxers anyway.
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.
Nappy hair is happy hair. It is hair that has been freed of any chemicals such as relaxers and other chemicals that one would use on their hair. Everybody hair grows differently due to their nature and what they do to their hair. Hair growth also are affected by poor diets, medicine that one may be taking, hair styling products and heat. All of these things can affect the growth of someone's hair.
Yes. Make sure you use a relaxer that is good for your hair. Wait a few months before relaxing your hair again. Be sure to condition it well and keep it moisturized often so it does not break or damage your hair. Too many relaxers/chemicals strips the natural oils from the hair. Remember to relax new growth only. Mild relaxers are to be used on colored treated or fine hair. Regular relaxers are used on medium textured hair. Super Strength relaxers are used on very coarse and overly curly hair. Relaxing your hair should be a quick process and after that apply your neutralizing shampoo. Visit a local stylist and ask her to recommend you a good brand relaxer. Find you a good hair regimen and stick to it.
