Hair trends are a never-ending occurrence in the beauty world.
Whether you’re rocking the fun-lovingbaby braidsor the gorgeousasymmetrical bob, trying new looks is always fun.
One great way to spruce up your hair is by taking it from curly to straight.
So how can you be sure which is right for your curly or coiled hair?
That depends on whether or not you’re comfortable with strong chemicals.
Most people go for this option if they desire to make their thick curly locks tamed with no frizz.
The results are stunning, leaving a delicate feel to the strands.
While this is considered a permanent straightening method, touch-ups are required almost every six to eight weeks.
How do you know which one is right for you?
If you’re seeking permanent straightening, then a relaxer is your go-to.
Though relaxers are mostly safe, some that contain endocrine disrupters have raised concerns.
Another factor to consider is how much your hair can withstand.
If you have dry, brittle hair, a relaxer may not be the proper straightening treatment.
Even a texture release may be too harsh if your hair is severely damaged.
In some cases, you may benefit from a protein treatment before applying a semi-permanent or permanent straightener.
Whichever direction you go in, don’t be afraid of relaxers and texture releases.
Simply educate yourself in preparation for your new look.
