Use the same ammonium thioglycolate that is used in permanent waving, but at a higher concentration and a higher pH(above 10). | Thio relaxers |
Conditioners with an acidic pH that restore the hair's natural pH after a hydroxide relaxer and prior to shampooing. | Normalizing lotions |
Relaxers that do not require application of a protective base cream. | No-base relaxers |
Ionic compounds formed by a metal(sodium, potassium, or lithium) which is combined with oxygen and hydrogen. | Metal hydroxide relaxers |
Process by which hydroxide relaxers permanently straighten hair; they remove a sulfur atom from a disulfide bond and convert it into a Ianthionine bond. | Ianthionization |
Very strong alkalis with a pH over 13; the hydroxide ion is the active ingredient in all hydroxide relaxers. | Hydroxide relaxers |
An acid-alkali neutralization reaction that neutralizes the alkaline residues left in the hair by a hydroxide relaxer and lowers the pH of the hair and scalp; hydroxide relaxer neutralization does not involve oxidation or rebuild disulfide bonds. | Hydroxide neutralization |
Also known as protective base cream; oily cream used to protect the scalp and skin during hair relaxing. | Base cream |
The process or service that rearranges the structure of curly hair into a straighter or smoother form. | Chemical hair relaxing |

Formulated for fine, color-treated, or damaged hair. | Mild-strengh relaxers |
Intended for normal hair texture with a medium natural curl. | Regular-strength relaxers |
For maximum straightening on very coarse, extremely curly, and resistant hair. | Super-strength relaxers |

Most common relaxer often called lye relaxers. | Sodium hydroxide relaxers |
When you stretch the strands to see how fast the natural curls are being removed. | Strand test |
Contain silicone polymers and formalin or similar ingredients, which release formaldehyde gas when heated to high temperatures. | Keratin straightening treatment |
Very effective for extremely curly hair. | Sodium hydroxide |
Causes less skin irritation than other hydroxide relaxers. | Guanidine hydroxide |
Compatible with soft curl permanents. | Ammonium thioglycolate |
Less damaging to hair. | Ammonium sulfate/ammonium bisulfate |
A combination of a thio relaxer and a thio permanent that is wrapped on large rods to make existing curls larger and looser. | Soft curl permanent |
