LYE or No LYE Relaxers?

Image
Lye relaxers do not straighten the hair as completely as no lye relaxers. Disulfide bond breakage is reduced because the chemical's aggressiveness tends to put time constraints on the straightening process. However, while the bonds responsible for the curl/coil of the hair are left intact, other critical hair bonds are destroyed on the external layers of the hair. No lye relaxer formulas are best for self-relaxers or "do-it-yourselfers," people who have fine hair, children, and those with sensitive scalp conditions. They are also better for those who prefer a straighter relaxed hair turnout. Find out  more from buildablebeauty

Seven Things (TAG)

I got this  from Ally at myhealthyhairjourney in a 7 things about me tag. The rule is simply list seven things about myself.   I completed my senior secondary school education at the age of 17.

I can't swim but I love going to the beach. The feel of the sea water on my feet is just amazing! I spent more than half of my life in Tamale (the Northern Region). I'm from the Central Region. I miss the place so much!!!!! I love to surf the net. I started checking my mails when most people were learning the parts of a computer. I visit my facebook page mainly to send goodwill messages to birthday celebrants. But I do chat with friends occasionally. Emprezz

Natural Hair Regimen For Relaxed Hair?

Over the course of the month, some readers with relaxed hair have on different occasions inquired about  applying natural hair care regimen to relaxed hair.

Me : "e shi shi me (it's burning me)" Hairdresser : "just wait for a minute more so that your hair can relax" (the popular believe that the longer you sit, the better the effect) Me : "I can't wait". "Wash it out quickly"
