Can hair relaxers cause hair loss? (1 Viewer)

[Shoom]

Hi
So, I used a relaxant kit ( chemical hair straightener) a few weeks ago and its starting to wear of at the bottom back of my head ( lol) and a little on the sides.

If I straighten my hair will it lead to permanent hair loss down the track.

When I did straighten my hair, it felt really good and had a nice shine to it, like it felt healthier then before.

it depends on how weak your hair is and how often you use relaxers
but i think you should be fine
i chemically straightened my hair last year and nothing happened when i straightened the areas where it had worn out

make ~$200 working somewhere (may vary depending on your hair length)
go to hairdresser
as for brazil cacau natural straightening treatment (http://www.braziliancacaukeratintreatment.com.au/)
get straight hair which makes your hair healthier at the same time
enjoy straight hair for 2 months or so

I would like to point a general comment concerning the use of chemical products on your hair.

We know for a fact, that we Women like to style, color, or put in our hair into all kinds of treatment. And Over time this can take a toll on those locks which eventually can cause them to brittle, dry out and eventually fall which is quite obvious. Chemicals and even in fact the way you tie your hair can also lead to hair loss.

Hope this helps.

Hair serves a protective function, but it is also important to physical appearance. Brittle hair affects the appearance and performance of the hair. Brittleness of hair can result in frequent breakage, difficulty combing and a dry, frizzy...
