Blowout, Thermal or Relaxer? - Tuesday, October 29, 2013
The dirty backstory...
Since the time of Cleopatra women have been altering their hair, in particular the texture of their hair. It seems part of the human condition to want what you don't have. Those of us with bone straight hair want body and wave and conversely, those of us with a mass amount of curl want silky smooth and straight hair. Nowadays with so many options at our disposal it is easy to get lost in the push-pull marketing gimmicks that we are bombarded with on a daily basis. the three main options commonly practiced today are: Brazilian Blowout, Thermal Straightening, and Chemical Relaxing.
Much stigma surrounds chemical services in the hair industry. To make an informed decision about what service is right for you, it is helpful to understand how each service has changed in its application and chemical components over the years; as some services have vastly improved while others are still dwelling in a dangerous and archaic past.
The practice of chemically altering the hair to achieve a desired texture is nothing new, in fact permanent waving (perms) and chemical relaxing (relaxers) have been around since the late 50’s and widely available to the consumer beginning in the 60’s and booming into everyday fashion in the 70’s. In those days the chemical processes of altering the makeup of hair were crude and very harsh on the hair. We have all heard the horror stories of some poor woman's hair breaking off or falling out due to some botched perm or relaxer job.
