Relaxing my hair?

My hair is relaxed currently but I'm thinking of going natural. I was wondering if once I'm natural, is there any way other than pressing the hair to get it looking straight. I was also wondering what are your thoughts on natural relaxers. Are they as harsh as chemical relaxers? Are they safer to use than the harsher chemical ones. I'm tired of going back every six weeks to get a relaxer, and I miss my curls but I don't want to have to use a curling iron to achieve the curly look and I'm not a big fan of the afro. Please help me.

You could try getting it to learn to smoke hash - this will relax it and you so that you won't care about how it looks.

Relaxing my hair?

i am not sure if u r black or white but i am a white girl who relaxes her hair so i'll try to answer...

i think only using a flat iron will straighten it if it is not relaxed... or a blow dryer with a metal round brush - but that is more of a pain in my opinion.

natural relaxers, in my experience, have not worked too well...very weak stuff

you can keep your curls if you have them do it for less time... then it wont be as straight... so you have to blow it out to make it straight, but you can air dry it (with the right product) to have curls. that's what I do basically... but there's also a gel (vavoom smoothing gel) that will smooth away frizz and hold it straight from being wet so you dont even have to blow it out or flat iron it.

if you grow your hair long enough, u dont have to relax it every 6 weeks... i relax it every 4 mos... cuz it's long enough so that the hair pulls the curly roots down basically.

It depends on the curl pattern of your hair. If it's a tighter pattern, then relaxers is the best way to go, if not, then you may want to revert to hair pressing (but not excessively!). Any excessive use of chemicals that break down the natural hair curl pattern to achieve a straight look may damage the hair over certain period of time (if the hair is not moisturized and conditioned regularly, using a leave in or protein conditioner). If you want to continue a curly look, I would like to suggest rod setting (perm rods used to set the hair with a setting lotion). Excessive heat is not healthy for the hair as well!

Relaxing my hair?

you have a few options. You should be not be getting your hair relaxed every six weeks that is too often and damaging to your hair. You can keep on relaxing your hair but extend the time length between relaxers, like ten to twelve weeks. This can be done by using good products like ApHOGEE Shampoo for Damaged Hair, Elasta QP Recovery Oil Moisturizer, and PARNEVU After Shampoo Conditioner in addition to using a flat iron on those rough days. Or just go natural and enhance curls however the hair that was relax will remain permed and your hair will be blended with permed and natural hair. I recommend that you just lengthen your touch ups because a few more weeks of wait will not be harmful a bit to get use too but benefical because you will have more ne growth will lead to more length.

Plus at times you can do the curly thing too (I do that in between perms)
