A hair relaxer is something that smoothes the hair to it's most relaxed state. Eg. Curly hair which is usually fuzzy would just be curly, with no fuzz. A chemical relaxer is permanent straightening, i'm not sure which one your talking about.
A good non-chemical relaxer is the Schwarzkopf Zero Frizz range, or the PPS Be Bent, Be Straight, Or DFRIZZ Smootheez are awesome to.
The bottom line is.. a hair relaxer is an anti-frizz product.

A relaxer is basically lye or sodium hydroxide (pH 10 ) that breaks a chemical bond in your hair shaft thus removing the polymeric bends. NaOH is caustic and will burn if it is left on too long. Many women and hair companies claim that your hair can be healthy even if its chemical structure is altered. You can make your mind up about that. Having had relaxers for 25 years and suffering from burned scalps, and broken hair, I can tell you that once I went natural I am likely not going back to relaxing. Couple of other things to keep in mind: CaOH (one element different) is the depilatory used in Nair and other hair removal products. That completely disintegrates the hair. Lye will do the same thing if left on too long. Remember relaxers are not reversible, they must be grown or cut out. The interface between the virgin hair and relaxed hair is also very fragile. Hope this helps you to make an informed decision.

hair relazer is a chemical you put in your hair for up to 15mins to make it straight. women who want a mroe permenant solution for getting dtraight hair use this.
its recommended you relzx your hair between 6-9wks.
many brands make relaxers... Optimum is a good brand but look around and see which one is best for you.
it comes in different strengths-mild

go to a hair salon and let a specialist tell you which type is best for you and she/he would recommend a brand

It's a perm. You just don't curl it with the chemical on ur hair, you comb it straight then rinse.
