they put in sodium hydroxide is a
caustic soda lye. GUess what? The FDA
banned that chemical in household
cleaners. So if they can ban it for
household cleaners ofcourse its superbad
for the hair.
Even breathing in this chemical
can cause lung damage. So to the beauitician
who does these relaxers and to the customer,
they must know this. Relaxers cause the
hair to lose resilience and elasticity.
THe thioglycolic acid compounds
are used in those CURLY PERMS. Well, they
are toxic compounds and cause the skin
to be irritated. IF this gets into the
bloodstream it causes low blood sugar.
So these curly perms cause hair damage,
swelling feet and legs, eye irritation,
rash on ears, neck, scalp, forehead,
and eyes swelling. IT can cause
damaging allergic reactions.
Then the burning of the scalp
deters hair growing. Hair CANNOT
grow through scarred tissue. It
can cause baldnes and hair loss
in the top of the head.
THe chemicals in relaxers
cause malignancy, arthritis, multiple
sclerosis, sarcodosis.
ANd most importantly people
should NOT put relaxers in their child’s
hair. A kid’s head is more sensitive
and can be easiliy be damaged, burned
or have hair loss because of RELAXERS. Kids
have even gone to the hospital for 2nd
degree burns from RELAXERS. Kiddie perms
aint even safe either even though they
are advertised for children.
