THE SHOP I GO TO WHICH IS ISIS SALON IN SAN DIEGO THE BEAUTICIANS THERE HAVE A CREAMED MIXTURE WHICH IS THE RELAXER AND THE PART YOUR HAIR INTO 4 SECTIONS AND THEY APPLY IT ON THE NEW GROWTH WHICH IS THE SCALP AREA AND THEY USE A PERM BRUSH WHICH IS KINDA LIKE A BBQ BRUSH. IT STAYS ON FROM 10-22 MINUTES DEPENDING ON YOUR HAIR AND THEN IS RINSED FOLLOWED BY A SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONING. WHICHEVER U CHOOSE MAKE SURE U DONT SCRATCH OR WASH HAIR WITHIN 30 HOURS OF THE PROCESS CAUSE U OPEN YOUR PORES IN THE SCALP AND IT CAN DAMAGE THE HAIR FOLLICLE.How do the hair salons relax hair ? like i cant imagine it please i am really curious?
is this the same as the japanese chemical straightening? Report Abuse

It depends on what you want. There are products that are used with a flat iron and can truly flatten your hair. If not done properly, the heat will cause over straightening and damage. There are relaxers, they need to be applied in a very timely manner and require a lot of skill, as the hair needs to be stretched while the chemical is on the hair.


Neither of these products should be used on color treated hair without going to a professional stylist. Relaxers are strong chemicals and if improperly used, cause breakage.


Another thing. Relaxed or straightened hair requires maintenance. It has to be done continually to keep the look.
If you have curly or frizzy hair, they use the same solution on your hair that they use for perming it except they do not put rods in it. They put the solution on and then they comb it out through the hair ever so many minutes until it is straight and then they rinse it out.
yea what the first lady saide lol i get my hair realxerd and it comes our really good i mena really really really really good i love it
the salons use a chemical straightner its a cream or liquid that has chemicals to relax the curl. I suggest a thermal ionic one as its less work and aftercare, with some relaxants you still have to blowdry and straighten hair with the ionic you can take out the hairs moisture and it straightens itself no extra work required.





generally the process goes like this





1. Hair is shampooed twice to remove products and oils


2. Hair is dried off thoroughly


3. Relaxabnt is applied to hair in sections and placed on boards to keep hair flat.


4. After the process time hair is again shampooed and a neutrilizer is applied to haie and left for five minutes.


5.Hair is dryed off and blowdryed straight


6. Hair must not be washed or wet for 72 hours
