Är relaxers egentligen skadliga
Det här svaret fick jag från answerbag:
On One Hand: Harmful Capacity
Hair relaxers contain corrosive chemicals that can cause harm if they are inhaled, ingested or left on the skin for long periods of time. The most common injuries associated with hair relaxers are chemical burns, hair damage and eye irritation. Professional-grade hair relaxers should only be used by licensed professionals in order to avoid injury.
On the Other: Proper Use
Hair relaxers, if used correctly, rarely cause harm to individuals. They are considered to be safe when used by someone who possesses the knowledge and training to use them properly. Contrary to common belief, hair relaxers can even be used by women who are pregnant. The chemicals are not absorbed by the skin and no ill effects are associated as long as the chemicals are used appropriately.
Bottom Line
Hair relaxers have the capacity to cause harm, but are safe to use as long as the instructions for use are closely followed. As with most chemicals, safety procedures must be observed. Never leave relaxers on the scalp for longer than the recommended time. If the chemicals come into contact with mucus membranes, flush the affected area thoroughly with water immediately.
Love your curls!
