Whats the role of neutralizer in hair straightening?

Neutralizer locks the hair into the new shape. Same as in a perm, the perm soluton is applied and it breaks down the bonds in the hair allowing it to conform the new shape of a perm rod. After the timing is up the neutralizer is applied to the hair on the rod to lock in the new shape. Without neutralizer the hair stays the same shape it was before.

Neutralizer

After the relaxer is completely shampooed and rinsed out with warm water (it can not be hot or cold and must be warm) a neutralizer solution is added to halt the relaxing process and restore the pH balance to the hair. The neutralizer is also known as a stabilizer or fixative. The neutralizer for a thio type of relaxer will actually re-form the cysteine cross-bonds in their new position and rehardens the hair.

From the time that the relaxing chemicals is removed and the hair is shampooed and than stabilized, the hair is extremely fragile and should be handled carefully.

Sometimes the chemicals will leave a reddish cast on the hair. When this happens the stylist can apply a special color rinse to remove the red cast. Sometimes this cast is not evident until the hair has been dried. The color rinse may be applied to dry hair as well.

Neutralizer shampoo or neutralizer stops the action of the relaxer and locks it into the straightened state.

Some products the hair will revert back to its curlier state if neutralizer is not used.

Also, the neutralizer helps balance the ph of the hair.

Actually, relaxers don't make your hair pin-straight. It makes your hair 'relax' its natural curl or wave pattern so that it will be easier to blow dry/flat iron, and to make it more manageable.

The best thing you should do is japanese hair straightening...if your hair is long enough for a flat iron to grasp on to it, then you must try this! I have tried millions and zillions of products in the past and nothing has kept my hair straigt..however after doing the japanese straightening it is wonderfull...the cost is a bit high, but your hair stays straight until it grows out..even when your hair is dry it stays straight...its great...ask a nearby salon about this process...i recomend it to people who have frizzy puffy hair and want to tame it down...
