What makes hair curly? Your curl pattern is determined by the size of the follicle and the amount of protein attached to the bonds that hold your hair together. If your hair is extremely curly you have a lot of protein within the hairshaft. If your hair is bone straight you have very little protein within the hairshaft.
What is a relaxer?
A relaxer is used to open the cuticle and break into the disulfide bond. All the protein within the hair shaft lives within the disulfide bond. Once the cuticle is open you can pull different levels of protein out I.E. (mild, medium, super).
Once the relaxer is removed with warm water neutralize with the same brand or the cuticle will not close properly causing the hair shaft to deteriorate over time.

Hi Cyn. Thank you so much for the content on relaxed hair. With the majority of people being natural, its hard to find reliable info on relaxed hair. So I have an issue that I need help with. Today I got my hair relaxed and while the beautician was doing my hair she stated she noticed that my hair is fragile and that I needed a protein treatment and that every other wash day I needed to do a protein treatment. Well with me being low porosity I knew that was a no no because you have drilled in my head low porosity hair does not need protein. Can you offer some advice on what I can do to strengthen…
I don't have a relaxer but I do have a Keratin treatment. Should I be following the same regimen as if I was still relaxed?
Thanks Cyn 💞 !!!
Wish I had this information when I had a relaxer! I agree with Tanya C., the relaxed community are so blessed!
This should help out our relaxed family a lot. 💚💚💚💚
