What are some of the best hair magazines?

Technically, what is relaxed hair? In magazines, they say, "straight, wavy, curly, relaxed"?

  • Answer:

    Relaxed hair has gone through a chemical process which removes the strong curl in hair, making it somewhat straight, or "relaxed". The reason it is described this way is because it is not really straight, or curly, or anything. It doesn't have the bounce or body of regular hair because of the treatment. It has to be handled differently than any other kind of hair. It has, in fact, been damaged, and weakened to a large extent. The chemicals used (very strong alkalis) can actually dissolve hair. The cream hair removers (for your legs) are the same basic formula.

These are some pictures, to help you understand: http://www.freshlookhair.com/photos/woman3_lg.jpg http://www.freshlookhair.com/photos/lg_rachel_after01.jpg A relaxer is a type of lotion or cream which straightens hair by chemically "relaxing" the natural curls. The active agent is usually a strong alkali, although some formulations are based on ammonium thioglycolate instead.

That's when you had very frizzy/poofy/wavy hair and you used a relaxer on it to make it straighter and less poofy. :)
