Well, for me the most alarming fact was that in relaxers, the
primary ingredient (lye) is the exact same prime ingredient in
Drano or Nair which dissolve/clean out items stuck in a drain
and dissolve hair from the skin respectively. It's labeled as
sodium hydroxide, but it's the same thing as lye and it is very
caustic. Read the ingredients on the back of a relaxer box,
then read the ingredients on the back of a nair bottle or a
container of Drano and compare. I did not know this when I
relaxed, however it is your choice to wear your hair the way
you like. For more info, read these very informative links:
