Hair Relaxer for Guys?

Well, I'll be straightforward with this.

My hair grows out to be a somewhat Afro/Frizz type of hairstyle and that I don't want it to grow an afro but rather long. My hair is thick and it does have its length but once it keeps growing, one after the other tops it forming a damn afro!

So I heard that chemical/hair relaxers will help me out. But really will it? I mean the word "chemical" is in there and I don't want to lose my hair... I have never tried it and I am willing to only if I get your opinion on what I should do with my hair (especially the girls - they're pros).

Thanks a bunch!

Yes, we are pros. haha I woudnt recommend you getting a relaxer...because after years of using it...many people have commented that their hair was thinning, and they had started seeing bald spots. also, if you ever wanna go back to your regular hair...you will have to grow the straight hair out..and you will looks weird, cuz u will afro hair at the roots and straight hair at the bottom..and your hair will break and tear and be quite fragile..thats why so many women are on here asking for the best way to do their hair when they are trying to go natural after having a relaxer in it... Just straighten your hair...or go and get it pressed or something. and when the salon does it...it should stay straight for like a week. not many men go into hair salons...and if you do..it may feel kinda weird...you know? but it will work..and they will come to like you...and you will like them too. so yeah.

I wouldnt recommend the relaxer..they are damaging...and makes your fragile and ready to break when you want your old hair back. and when a relaxer is in...it causes your hair to be thin... and you start to notice small bald spot that can become big ones.

Talk to a salon!

Of course they saw bald spots over time. They got older. DHT causes pattern hair loss, not chemical services. Report It

Just as many men use relaxers on their hair as women. It is not at all unusual.

There are many types of relaxers on the market. In our salon we use Dudley's. They make a non-lye relaxer and they make it three different strengths. Some people require more relaxing, and others less. You won't know until you do it for the first time.

This is not something you can or should do yourself, especially the first few times. If not done correctly you run the risk of ruining your hair, or worse, burning your scalp. Have a professional do it.

If your hair is long enough and meets other criteria, there is also the possibility of 'Japanese Hair Straightening.' This is a long and expensive process, but yields better results than relaxers, and lasts in the area of six months before you have enough outgrowth that a new application will be required.

don't relax it use Just For Kids texturizer..put it in your hair starting at the area that is textured and frizzy the most...and don't comb it through so much that will make it straight..just use small parts and put it on using hairbrush applicator(the ones at sallys for hairdye)...it will loosen your curl texturer without harsh chemicals

texturize is best. You can wash and wear it curly or blow dry it straight.
