A hair relaxer is a lotion or cream treatment that is used to ‘relax’ (or essentially straighten) curly hair. Straightened hair can look longer and is easier to manage. Most women choose to use a relaxer if they have curly hair and are looking for a straighter, less frizzy look.

To straighten the hair, the relaxer breaks down part of the hair strand and chemically alters the texture. Usually, a hair relaxer will leave your hair straight for about six to eight weeks.
Some people choose to visit a salon to get a relaxer treatment done, while others buy products that can be used in the comfort of home. You’ll need to touch up your hairline as your hair starts growing out. Generally, it’s time to touch up when there’s enough new hair growth for the relaxer to adhere to, and you should be able to see a clear line of where the relaxed hair begins and where the new hair growth ends.
