A perm makes your hair curly. A relaxer makes your hair straight.

a relaxer is a retouch of a perm. I was always taught that you perm virgin hair (when you use the relaxer from the root to the ends), and for a "retouch", thats a relaxer. White people use perms also, thats where you will hear that term used more often.

A relaxer straightens your hair. A Perm will curl you hair most perms use rollers to set the hair. They are basically have the same chemical composition.

a perm adds curl to your hair and the relaxer does just the opposite

Perms are commonly used by Caucasians to make their hair curly and last for several months. Relaxers are commonly used by African Americans to straighten the roots to the ends of the hair and last a couple months.

a perm gives you curls, a relaxer takes the curls away (smooths out what you already have)
