    Glossary Sodium Hydroxide

    highly caustic compound used in hair relaxers and industry

    Sodium Hydroxide, also known as NaOH or caustic soda, is a highly caustic and alkaline compound commonly used in various industrial processes, including soap making, paper manufacturing, and chemical synthesis. In the context of hair care, it is often found in hair relaxers, where it breaks down the protein structure of hair to make it straighter. However, due to its strong corrosive nature, it must be handled with care to avoid skin burns and other injuries.
