Can you use a relaxer on gel hair?

Answer 1

No, you should not use a relaxer on hair that has gel in it. Relaxers contain strong chemicals that can react negatively with the ingredients in the gel, potentially causing damage to the hair or scalp. It is important to properly cleanse the hair of any styling products before applying a relaxer to ensure the best results and minimize the risk of adverse reactions.

Answer 2

Yes you can apply relaxer to new growth if your hair has gel in it. If you used a hard gel normally your hair will be hard. Try parting your hair using your hands on four sections. Then apply the relaxer to new growth only, once the relaxer is applied it makes the gel in your hair softer by breaking it down. After applied evenly you can use a comb to smooth the rest of the relaxer process, going back through making sure you applied the relaxer evenly. Hair gel is also used as a base or can be used as a base as most hair gel such as ampro is protein.
