Relaxing your hair all the way to straight takes away the resiliency and body. The Naturalaxer is thermogenic (heat activated.) It will get silky straight from blow-drying, wrapping, pressing or wet setting. Application tine of 15-20 minutes will relax your curl about 35%. Application time of 20-25 minutes will relax the natural curl about 60%. 30 -35 minutes will relax your curl about 80%. (We say about because it depends on how tight your natural curl is to begin with)

If your natural texture is very curly the Naturalaxer will loosen the curl. Hair that is in a zigzag pattern will become wavy and wavy textured hair will be straightened by the Naturalaxer.

The rate of hair growth is determined by heredity. However, the Naturalaxer does not reduce the size of the hair cuticle or break the bonds in the hair, so you will be able to grow your hair longer.

No, your hair will go silky straight with the heat from a blow dryer. However, you can still press your hair and it will hold the press until your shampoo.

We do not recommend applying the Naturalaxer on top of hair that is over processed with chemical relaxers, bleach/peroxide or damaged from excessive use of heat appliances. Use the African Wonders Recovery Treatment and Hydrolyzer conditioners on the damaged hair until your hair stops breaking. Trim your hair after each touch-up until the damaged hair has all been cut off.

The Naturalaxer contains no caustic or harsh chemicals. Most hair relaxers contain sodium hydroxide (lye), calcium hydroxide ("no lye"), or lithium hydroxide. these chemicals break the bonds in your hair and erode your hair cuticle.

This can be easily resolved in a few minutes using a straightening cream. Most Hairdressers in Cyprus will use their own particular brand.

On completion blast with a hairdryer for 10 seconds and unroll.

Hair types N1-N2 can use a leave in conditioner for curly looks. If you nave N3-N5 hair you will need to apply the African Wonders® Hair Dew gel to get a wavy or curly style.

If you simply want a looser curl, apply a "hot oil" treatment. This can be done as often as needed. If this doesn't relax the curl sufficiently, a perm may be reversed by applying another perm. Instead of the hair being wrapped around perm rods, it is gently combed straight while the chemicals are applied.. After processing, the hair is neutralized in the straight position. When straightening out hair with a permanent wave, you will not get bone straight hair. The curl, however can be reduced.

There are different positions on this question. My answer is yes, with conditions. I personally don’t like the way the hair resist going kinky once it has been pressed/straightened. Pressing can be a lot better for natural hair than chemicals it you are prepared to maintain straight hair for a period of time. I have seen that, once the hair is pressed, it takes a while, a couple of months or visits to the salon for the hair to completely revert to the natural curl.

Absolutely not. If you previously had light blonde hair, and then hennaed it to a richer, darker color, you will definitely notice shedding hairs, but only because of the darker color and not because of any change stemming from the henna. Everyone sheds approx. 150 hairs per day. And you may loosen many more hairs while completing the process. These are just hairs that would have loosened into your hairbrush or shower drain. But henna cannot cause additional healthy hair to fall out.
