hair relaxing only for afro americans ?

Sodium hydroxide (lye) and guanidine calcium hydroxide (no lye) relaxer may be the only choice to use IF the hair is highly twisted/overly curly, for example on African hair type, but it can also be used on ALL hair type.

However, if the hair is not highly twisted/cork-screw-like, then there is NO need to use lye or no lye hair relaxer product. Especially in your case, you said your hair is slightly wavy and frizzy.

My preferred choice is to use a thioglycolate Hair Straightening product, such as X-Tenso of L’Oreal, so you can do the Conventional thioglycolate hair straightening method.

Then there is the Japanese Hair Straightening method, also know as Thermal Reconditioning/TR. This method makes the hair Permanently Straight and Frizz Free. The hair will look ageless and very pretty. You can learn more by visiting my Website http://www.verticalsinhair.com/process.shtml and my TR Forum http://www.verticalsinhair.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl

You really need to do your home work before trusting your hair in the hands of a stylist. Keep in mind, when the rubber hits the road, ultimately, it is the hair straightening/TR stylist doing the process that’s important.

Hi Jaquisha,

SILIS of Framesi is a good hair straightener/Curl Reducer, but you need to be very careful!! SILIS is not silicone based relaxer. SILIS is a thioglycolate permanent hair straightening product.
