Definitions for "Relaxer"
a perm solution
A chemical applied to the hair to remove the natural curl.
A chemical process by which the hair is permanently straightened. New-growth areas have to be maintained via 'touch-ups' to continue the straightened pattern. A relaxer penetrates the cortex and breaking the hairs' natural chemical bonds which originally caused it to be curly. Once these chemical bonds are broken, they can not be repaired so the hair is unable to return to its natural state.
any agent that produces relaxation; "music is a good relaxer"
