3. Is It Really Okay To Relax A Child’s Hair?
Despite the claims of manufacturers, experts warn that any type of relaxer can damage the hair and scalp.

While some are concerned about the harsh chemicals on a child’s tender scalp, others are more concerned with the damage that hair straightening could have on a child’s self-image.
Still the fact remains that relaxers contain harmful chemicals and using them on a child at an early age may have long term effects on the health of their hair.
