Relaxers soften your hair to the point where it can be restructured into a straighter form. Relaxers will not completely straighten your hair; they soften or relax natural curls or waves. Results will vary depending on how curly or wavy your natural hair is but you can expect healthy, bouncy, manageable, silky, soft and natural hair.
You will only need to touch up your re-growth to keep your straightened look approximately every 4 -6 months or alternatively, to return to your natural texture you will wait until it grows out or style with curls. Like the Ionic Hair Straightening, Relaxers are permanent and can not be reversed.
