Relaxing hair. Printed From: HairBoutique.com Category: Hair Talk Forum Name: Asian Hair Forum Description: Devoted to the special hair needs of people of Asian descent URL: https://talk.hairboutique.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18243 Printed Date: July 20 2025 at 12:41pm Topic: Relaxing hair. Posted By: mitru6189 Subject: Relaxing hair. Date Posted: February 01 2005 at 9:56pm I've read that many guys with shorter hair that tends to grow out instead of stay flat should relax their hair. I just have some questions: How long will it last? Is it safe to relax dyed hair? (Dyed it brown about 6 weeks ago) Would it be better if I went to a professional salon than to do it myself? I've read that if you don't wash all of it out then your hair will start to break off. :-/ That's it for now I guess, I'll post more later. I was thinking about just walking to my local drugstore to get a relaxer, but it would be so odd for a guy to be walking in the beauty aisle, and purchasing some hair relaxer. :-/ Meh. Edit: Accidentally hit the submit button twice or something... woops.

I would consult with a professional so you don't make any mistakes. Take care.
