Brother Dusty Elbow ... thanks for sharing. It said "Hair to Die For" ... smh ... causes cancer and everything. I'm sure the perms most of us use, or have used, have like effects, yet we continue ... so i'm sure many will jump into this too.

Straightening one's hair, especially for Black women, is soooooo deep. Much deeper than the hair style we want to wear, or the ease we claim comes from such actions. It's really a lot of mental conditioning that has taken place over generations, passed down from Mother to child oftentimes.

Not an easy chain to break.

I'm so glad i'm past my hair-straightening days, so i don't have to even consider buying this.

There have always been toxic chemicals in hair relaxers. If they have to wear gloves to apply it, it is toxic. If you can't use while nursing or pregnant, its toxic. If people would look up the chemicals found in most hygiene products, they would be appalled. I just had to throw out a lotion this week because I had missed the parabens on the ingredient list. Companies try to imply their products are natural and such, but you always have to check the label.

Thanks for sharing this. I want to know how to keep the straight hair. Can you give me any advice? Thanks million.hair accessories (http://www.hairaccessoriesusa.com/)

i, too, am a fomer hair straightener. i no longer use that stuff, anymore. i have natural hair that is locked. i have no desire to straighten my hair, again.

i met someone who was trying to introduce this process. she charges about $100 PER HEAD and she is so excited about it. i am sorry, i am not interested in any of that.

since i have my hair natural, i have a new sense of well being and feel more of a connection to who i am.

it's a shame of the danger we get in and do to our hair , ladies need to wake up to these
products that is killing the hair from it's root

Things You Can Do The First 4 Days

Initially there are some precautionary steps to take to ensure the best straightening possible.

You do want to wear your hair down for at least 4 days to allow the product to settle in your hair.
Do use a blow dryer or flatiron as needed, (in case hair gets wet during the first four days.)
Do wear a silk scarf to pull your hair away from your face.
Do use a shampoo without Sodium-Chloride (Sulfate-Free) on your hair at all times.

Things Not To Do For The First 4 Days

Don't wash your hair for the first time.
Do not tie your hair into a ponytail.
Do not use hair clips.
Do not place your hair behind your ears.
Do not exercise or sweat.
Do not use hair bands.
Do not use your glasses to hold your hair back.
Do not use sprays, gel or mousses.


ROFLMBO!

This is very true - like you said, cancer and everything else. Yet again, we have to watch what greases we put in our hair as well because they can clog up your pores which causing a lack of oxygen (cancer is simply your blood lacking between 55 to 60% oxygen forcing it to live off of carbon-dioxide which is poisonous ). Another point to look at again, is that the grease can enter into your pores going directly into your blood stream clogging up your veins decreasing the circulation causing brain-damage, and heart failure and many other things.

Use Vitamin E and coconut oils which is extremely good for your hair. Vitamin E is good for your skin but if it gets into your pores it fights against the very thing our bodies try to protect us from such as Cancer and other diseases so Vitamin E is extremely good to use for hair. I use it for my dreads and the good thing about it is that you can add some lavender to the mix to get the smell you want or you can keep it simple with the coconut scent.

Also be extra careful my sistas with these weaves because they hold chemicals that can be down right deadly and can also cause Alzheimer's disease. When our sistas began to sweet those chemicals go straight into your pores and these chemical circulate throughout your whole body poising the blood - your life force. If your life force is poisoned then you are a walking poison ready to do as poisoned people do in a matter of time ... catch my drift.

Just wanted to throw some information in there for those whom may not know.

Peace

I'm sorry to have to dispute something someone has said in my first post here, but I have to address some of the claims made in the above post. I am a medical professional, my field of specialty being vascular medicine, and I cannot ignore the misinformation being given.

"Grease" does not enter the blood stream via your pores and "clog up" the veins. This is not physiologically possible. Not only that, it is not within the veins where "decreased circulation" leading to "brain-damage" [sic] originates. I believe you are attempting to reference arterial atherosclerotic disease, which can be one cause of strokes and heart attacks, but most certainly does NOT come from hair grease via the pores.

A word of advice to all: Take information you read on Internet message boards with a grain of salt. If something looks interesting or concerning to you, do some research before blindly accepting and following the well-meaning, but often inaccurate advice of anonymous strangers on a discussion board--that includes information from me, as well. There are other inaccuracies in the above post, as well as others I've read in this thread, but there's no way to regulate this. Just do your research!

I hope this post is taken in the informational, friendly context in which it is intended.

Peace. :toast:

Poignant One ... Welcome Welcome Welcome ... :wave:

Thank you for joining us and sharing! Your words will surely encourage us to research everything! :toast:

I posted a thread some time ago, about using vaseline in my hair, how my hair seemed to love it, but the Family had all kinds of warnings for me! I did take heed to what they said, and have been trying to switch over to some of the products they suggested. I haven't used vaseline for a while.

Poignant One ... do you have any information on the damage chemical hair relaxers do to our hair, scalp, brain, and/or internal organs ... :look:

If so, please share that too!

Again, thanks for joining us and sharing, and make yourself at home, because you are!

Much Love and Peace.
