No, you cannot "strip" the perm out of your hair. A perm is called a perm because it is permanent. Therefore you would have to grow out your hair and transition to your natural hair. I've heard about various techniques people may use like washing the hair with vinegar etc., but what all that does is dry out your hair to the point where it "appears" to be natural, but it's really not.

With hair transplantation, hair is moved from one area of the body (usually referred to as the “donor area”) and transferred to the thinning or balding area (recipient site). The transferred tissue is not "rejected" as it is not foreign tissue. The transplanted hair maintains its own characteristics; color, texture, growth rate, curl, etc. after transplantation and growth.

If you've read this far, you probably already realize the answer is "no". Permanents are called permanent for good reason. The bonds in the hair are destroyed when the hair is relaxed. The part of the hair that has been relaxed will never be "natural" again. The only way to get rid of relaxed hair is to cut it off or wait for it to break off. Waiting for the hair to break off is not a good transition option.

One of the great things about Sisterlocks is that you don't have to cut off your relaxer in order to start them. All you need is 1? inches of new growth at the scalp to start the locks. Then you can trim the relaxed ends gradually over time as your natural locks grow in. There are some things to watch for here though. For example, if you have a relaxer you know that when you let your natural hair grow in at the scalp you increase the chances of breakage.

It cannot be done over hair that has been relaxed with products containing sodium hydroxide or any other metallic hydroxides. However, Thermal Reconditioning is compatible with other thio or cystine based relaxers.

Diane: A texturizer or 'Texturizing' is a technique which leaves the hair with a slight wave and not bone straight. The results are less damaging than a bone straight relaxer. Scientifically, a relaxer should never be 100% straight. When receiving a relaxer process, the hair strands should only be relaxed or softened up to 80% - 85% straight, leaving a 20% curve with some elasticity left in the hair for additional heating tools to finish and style.

We don’t think you’ll want to, but yes, you can go back to using traditional relaxers at any time.

Relaxer should be applied only to virgin hair (i.e. new growth). We recommend you follow the instructions and use the relaxer time chart to avoid over processing.

The answer to this question is perhaps. By that we mean, if your hair is natural with no other chemicals processes done to it, the answer is probably yes. The process can be done on all lengths of hair, although it truly looks its best on longer lengths or hair where gravity pulls the hair in a downward direction, adding to a corkscrew, ringlet or crimped looking style. But there is no reason you can't start out short and grow into a longer length.

Yes and no. Yes, by the low maintenance involved in the daily upkeep, it really is wash & go hair. Many of our clients tell us that the save hours a week not having to have their hair blow dried or set if the don't want to. They have the freedom to make the decision to style and wear their hair without a lot of fuss when they are wearing a Wash & Wear Relaxer?. No, in two main facts; first with curly perms (curls) it is not recommended that you set or blow dry your hair frequently.

A) Yes, it is very possible to wear a relaxer and a permanent hair color, without hair loss. But it is important for you to remember that you must first find a licensed chemical technician/stylist, one that is experienced with the application and maintenance of both a chemical relaxer and permanent hair color combination. Finding this individual may not be easy.

No. The chemical ingredient in all TR products is thioglycolate or a derivative of glycolate. Sodium hydroxide and thioglycolate do not mix. I heard some stylists doing it for whatever reason, but I do NOT recommend it. Ask any chemist and they'll tell you it is a no go.

We have four after care products, all made by Kerasoft?, that we recommend to maintain your hair when you are wearing it in a Wash & Wear Relaxer? look and since the process is not thio based as are curly perms and body waves, it is does not dry out the hair requiring that you compensate for this with lots of after care products.

It cannot be done over hair that has been relaxed with products containing sodium hydroxide or any other metallic hydroxides. However, Liscio is compatible with other thio or cystine based relaxers.

Relaxer regiments should not be dictated by a calendar (meaning every 6-8 weeks), but by the needs of your hair. Remember: Other factors also affect the growth rate of your hair, like:

There are a few ways to move around on the Strip: by foot, by bus, by monorail, by shuttle and by taxicab. Walking is one of the most popular means of traveling the Vegas Strip. Crosswalks remain the best way to cross the street, but a few elevated walkways are available that will save you the wait for a walk sign and the dangers of city traffic.

If long hair is left flowing loose it will increase the possibility of direct contact with someone else's hair and hence passing on head lice, tying it back is therefore sensible. Much head to head contact is actually around the front of the hair when little kids put their heads down to share a secret or a book, hairstyle doesn't make any difference in this instance.
