The main ingredient in relaxers is sodium hydroxide (lye). It is the same ingrdient found in drain cleaners. If you saw the movie "Good Hair", then you also saw this chemical dissolve a soda can, just imagine what it's doing to you. There are also "no-lye" relaxers, but don't be fooled, they also contain harsh chemicals. They work by penetrating the hair shaft to loosen the natural curl of the hair. These relaxers are responsible for causing hair breakage, hair thinning,hair loss, scalp irritaion and scalp damage. If you relax your hair your hair is delpeted. Replenish your locks.
