    products that chemically straighten curly or coiled hair

    Hair relaxers, also known as chemical relaxers or hair straighteners, are products used to permanently straighten curly or coiled hair. They work by breaking the disulfide bonds in the hair's protein structure, allowing the hair to be reshaped and straightened. This process can make hair more manageable but may also cause damage or weaken the hair if not used properly.
