Hair relaxer for Caucasians?

Question

So I was at a party about a week ago, and this guy was telling me about this stuff I could put into my hair, leave it in for an hour, and then I would NEVER have to straighten my hair again! I could even let it air-dry and I would still have perfectly smooth hair! I didn't know that you could do that to "white-people" hair! I was so excited, but sadly to say, I was kinda/super drunk so all I remember about the specifics of the product was that it came in a blue bottle, and that the bottle didn't say to leave it in for an hour, only like 20 mins or something (details again, hazy). Thanks for your help, and if it helps, I have wavy hair all over my head, except for the bangs, which are super-curly AKA frizzy, and it takes about an hour to straighten and if he was telling the truth, this would be such a big helper for mornings, because I love sleep! Thanks!

Answer 1

YES ITS POSSIBLE TRY USING A PRODUCT FROM A COMPANY CALLED FRAMESI,, SILIS IT COMES IN A CPL OF STRENGTHS BUT A PRO SHOULD REALLY DO IT FOR YOU OR YOU MIGHT GET MORE THAN FRIZZ HONEY, (BEWARE OF THE BALD SPOTS FOR LEAVING IT ON TO LONG) GOOD LUCK BABE, AND BE SOBER WHEN YOU DO IT OK LOL

Answer 2

If you are going to relax your hair, have it done at a salon. My stylist relaxed my hair with some product that was made in Japan and it left my hair very flat, smooth, and manageable. I don't have curly hair, but my hair is very thick and course and tends to poof up if I don't put a lot of product in it. When I had this procedure done, I didn't have to use anything other than shampoo and conditioner.
My hair had movement and was VERY straight ( limp/flat?) and stayed that way for about 4 months.
Another reason you should have it done professionally is because I've heard that if you leave the relaxer on too long, your hair can fall out. Also, you might get scalp burns from the chemicals.

Hair Relaxer For White People

Answer 4

NO!!!!!! I know this is late for the thread, but for anyone searching for answers that comes across this please read. I am a white girl (polish, german, irish) with thick, dark, course, curly/frizzy hair. At least I was a white girl with thick, dark, course, curly/frizzy hair. Now I am a white girl with no hair.

I used the No-Lye Relaxer for Kids and left it on for only 2 min more than the required time for fine hair and 3 min less than the required time for medium hair sine I figured I was in-between. I knew something went horribly wrong when I could feel the hair running down my legs in the shower....now I can't even run a comb through it without massive chunks coming off.

The reason I took the chance was because several responders in various threads noted that they knew white girls (or knew someone who knew) who used it and were fine...never trust "I knew a person who knew a person"...Hi, my name is Nicole and now you know a white girl personally who did not have good luck with it!

I will say my hair is pretty processed (that's the reason I chose the one for kids), I color with a level 2 semi twice a month, and two or three months ago I completely stripped the boxed color from my hair (not bleach) to start over. However, it seemed to have recovered and was doing ok so I don't feel there was too much damage. My last coloring was a few weeks ago and I hadn't shampooed for 48 hours (as directed).

Now I am waiting for it to finish drying (short hair, chin length in front, super short in back) so I can decide if I need to cut it really short or just shave it and get a wig until it grows out...that's how bad it is! I've read (cautionary tale implied earlier) that you can use the home perm to straighten your hair (just pull it straight instead of curling it)...so if you are feeling adventurous and willing to take the chance with your hair then I suggest trying that before trying ethnic relaxers.

So wish I had found something better to do with my Sunday afternoon, two weeks away from a paycheck, with zero dollars in my wallet than relax my hair...Oh, it's relaxed now, like six feet under relaxed.

Answer 5

Not sure what he was talking about never herd of it but their are 2 solutions to your problem.

Don't get drunk! J/K

Hair relaxer for Caucasians?

#1 And my guess is that he was refering to reverse perm. all you have to do is apply and comb steright leave in till recomended time on the box but i recomend geting a self timing perm, "it shuts its self off." Again probley what your friend was refering to. Hope this helps if not here is the other option. =)

#2 (Very Expensive) Get a Ionic Straighting depending on the length of your hair anywhere from $300.00-$900.00 must be professional done.

Answer 6

ok, what you need to do is buy a perm (odd i know but i swear it works im in school for this) and apply it to your hair the way the directions say skipping the perm rods of course and then after your hair is saturated in it, take a comb and comb your hair as straight as possible until the directions tell you to rinse. Ive learned that this works incredibly well! another option if your hair is getting puffy from dryness would be putting on a reconstructer a couple times a week and it would definatly get rid of your problem

Go to a beauty supply shop and ask the person there. Preferably one with licensed cosmetologists. I don't think that one marketed toward black people would be too strong as everyones hair texture is different, yes- even within the black community... I'm sure there are different levels or directions for what you want to achieve on your type of hair.

Answer 8

There are chemical relaxers you can use (don't ever do it at home though, take it from someone who knows!) But they do damage your hair and then the new growth needs to be processed every few months or you end up with frizzy roots and smooth ends. I gave up on that and do something much less expensive now--deep conditioner, heat protecting spray, straightening balm and the Remington wet to dry straightening iron (it's pretty cheap, I think I got mine at Target). It leaves your hair smooth for several days like a salon blowout.

Answer 9

I haven't heard of a product like what you are describing. I have tried to straighten my hair at home and my hair didn't fall out or anything but, it didn't get straight either. So, yeah you should probably go to a salon.

Answer 10

There are many effective straighteners at salons. I have been using a system developed by Chi Hair products. It is relatively inexpensive (about $75.00) done at a salon and creates nice straight hair.

Answer 11

1. Nothing will straighten hair permanently. It will grow out just as curly as it was before. 2. The only real straighteners are strong chemicals that need to be used carefully and might burn your scalp. The others just help to keep it straight for a while, but you still need to comb it straight. 3. Why would Caucasians need a different product from Blacks, Latins, Polynesians, etc.? The only difference is how long you leave it in for how thick or fine your hair is.
