It breaks down the natural tendancy for some hair to be either curly or kinky.

It just straightens hair. Some people have curly or wavy hair. Instead of having to straighten it everyday a perm allows a semi/permanent fix. It usually has to be touched up every 3-6 months.

It's a chemical treatment that relaxes curlier hair. Some are permanent and some last about 3 months.

It is a chemical process used to straighten curly, kinky, or wavy hair of any ethnic group. It uses a chemical process to relax or straighten the curl or wave out of your hair.

It's a chemical similar to what they use to straighten your hair, but isn't as strong. It straightens your hair up to a point but doesn't really have the same effect as a straightener. I'd guess it's probably recommended for people who only have a slight wave.

You use it if you have really kinky, curly hair. It 'relaxes' the curl so it's easier to straighten if you like.

it relaxes curls in your hair and no, its not only for black people. Anyone with curly, wavy, kinky hair can use it. It makes curls straight. and i am white and i have relaxed my hair before.

It takes the curls from your hair.
But here is a warning: my mom used to go to beauty school and she said that it ruins your hair and she witnessed it first hand.

It's like a perm, but without the chemicals.
