Using a harsh chemical hair straightener can cause breakage, thinning, scalp damage, and hair loss. Sodium hydroxide, or lye, is traditionally used as a hair straightener or relaxer, but it is a harsh substance that changes the chemical makeup of hair. Even the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) acknowledges that lye can burn the skin, and they get many complaints about irritations from chemical hair relaxers.
Using a natural hair straightener can relax hair without harsh chemicals or harm to hair. It is a safer method for straightening curly, kinky, or wavy hair; and it is very effective and environmentally friendly. Natural hair relaxers’ active ingredient penetrates the hair to permanently soften without destroying it. A natural hair straightener softens, conditions, and leaves hair silky, healthy, and easy to style. Hair is much less likely to be damaged, and can tolerate blow drying and other heat appliances while improving hair softness and texture. There are no irritating chemicals, and it will not burn the scalp or over process hair. Natural hair straighteners will also allow hair to grow longer since it avoids the breakage that chemical relaxers cause.
