Can one use a relaxer on color treated hair? How well do relaxers work on gray/white hair?


Breakage is more likely the longer you stretch a relaxer. In high school, my mom couldn’t afford every 6-8 weeks and made me wait 3 months. Between freshman and sophomore year, I lost 6 inches. Once I started working, I could go more often and my hair broke off less. 4a/b thick, coarse hair.

This makes no sense. More harsh chemicals more frequently resulted in less breakage?


You clearly don't have 4a/b hair.

No, I don’t. OP’s question was for “white woman” hair.

This!! Natural hair texture is in. Frizzy isn’t, but you can have great curls without frizz with the right cut and styling. Get help! But not with chemicals

Yes, you can relax color treated hair, but you will see more breakage. Yes, it works fine on gray or white hair. My aunt gets her hair relaxed and it is 100% grey.

Call franz Sebastian salon in Bethesda and ask for roger.

It’s harsh chemicals and it will cost $600-ish (depending on hair length) but it’s worth every penny

Not OP but thanks for the recommendation. A stylist in Maryland who claims he’s an expert on Japanese straightening fried my hair and led to so much fallout.[/quot

I just checked the salon’s website and I don’t see Roger there. Did he move to a different salon?
