I believe that black hair relaxers will be too strong on white people's hair. But, there's a wonderful product called Glatt. It works wonders. It'll leave your hair straight for about 3 to 4 months. In addition, it does not burn the hair like I heard that black hair relaxers do.

im a white redhead and as a racist joke when I was in college where we had a Karen cosmetology school to have my hair straightened. I bought a Brazilian blowout but the girls thought it would be really funny to switch out my blow out and see what would happen to put a relaxer on my hair. First it started to burn, I was rushed to the sink, I saw the girls eyes go wide and I put my hand back to touch my hair my hand came back with melting globs of hair melting away. I had to shave my head several times to get to Virgin hair. My scalp was burned, I still have patched of missing hair even though his happen in 2011, it changed how my hair grows and the speed. If you want to control you're hair do a Brazilian blowout or a Chinese method of straightening hair expensive but it will literally keep your hair bone straight for months you only have to keep up with the roots. I plan to do this method. Don't do a relaxer you're hair very well may melt off.

You can get a perm kit, but instead just comb the hair with the product in your hair. It will get it very straight. But make sure to look at the ends of your hair while doing this. If they start to get burned, rise your hair.

Kitty is right, even though your hair is really curly and thick, your hair texture may still be too fine for that type of relaxer. The chemicals would be too drying and damaging to your hair. Talk to a professional hairdresser about a different kind of straigtener for you type of hair.

Don't, the chemicals aren't suited for your hair, no matter how curly it is. White hair tends to have a smoother cuticle layer than black hair because our hair is more porous and dry. The relaxer might be too harsh on your grade of hair. Go to a stylist, they'll know exactly what to use on your hair.

If you've bleached your hair, absolutely not. As a matter of fact... I wouldn't advise it if you've colored your hair at all. If your hair is naturally straight... you'll have a static look after using a relaxer on it.
If you have naturally curly hair... yeah, you'll have straight hair, but it will be limp and lifeless... making your hair look fried, dull, and in need of a stylist.
Talk to your stylist on what kind of products you should use to give your hair that "straight, sleek" look.

Only ones that are very mild. I would consult a professional. Your hair may not be strong enough to handle the chemicals

You can but I really would not suggest it depending on your hair... See black peoples hair is much stronger then white peoples...Unless you have hair like that I would not do it...
