Is Blow Out Relaxers Okay for Natural Hair?


 A blow out relaxer is still a relaxer. 

The most commonly used blow out relaxer contains these ingredients:

Water, Cetearyl Alcohol, Petrolatum, Paraffinum Liquidum (Mineral Oil), Propylene Glycol, Polysorbate 60, Emulsifier, Sodium Hydroxide, PPG-12 PEG-50 Lanolin, Fragrance, Geraniol.

Sodium Hydroxide breaks down the hair’s bonds (straightening the hair) quickly.

This chemically changes your hair gently. You will no longer be 100% natural .

Many people experience breakage from using it so do your research and understand that although blow out relaxers are mild, they are still relaxers.
