Do relaxers and heat damage hair?

Most people say relaxers and heat damage hair. But i have my friend she is african american and she relaxes her hair. Her hair grows even when its relaxed so it got me asking if relaxers really damage hair why is my friends hair growing? so?

Answer #1

Yeah it damages your hair by stripping the proteins down. Your hair grows from the roots so as long as she is doing her hair professional and her scalp is not ruined her hair will grow the hair you see is damaged but looks nice because she conditions and takes care of it. Heat damages hair by burning it that’s the weird smell you can sometimes smell on the hair after the hair is straightened.

Answer #2

You can reduce damage by lowering the heat to heat suitable for your hair and placing a heat protector on your hair.

Answer #3

Yes, they do. I think this world would be so much better if we all just let our hair do what it wants to do.
