Garret A. Morgan born in 1 877 to former slaves discovered that the same chemical used to repair sewing machines could also be used to "relax" kinky textured hair. Fast forward to 1 91 3, Gar ret founded the G.A. Hair Refi ning Company. The chemicals that were used in Morgan's hair refi nery were not commercially sold until 1971. The fi rst company to commercially Droduce the lye relaxer was the manufacturer called Proline, which now makes Droducts for the brand Dark and Lovely. After using this br years African Americans noticed that the chemicals bund in the relaxers would Dreak down proteins in the lair to relax the strand. As a result, no- lye relax ers became available, but the chemicals contained in relaxers still break down the structure of the hair, caus- nQ^ermanen^^dgQT^ Instead of opting out for a relaxer, you can go for a less permanent approach. Methods such as roller set ting and fl at ironing can give the straight look that one may desire. Also be mind ful that using direct heat on your hair can loosen hair texture or create heat dam age. To absorb the affects of heat styling one would use a good heat protectant such as Tresseme Thermal Creations Heat protectant . To get the same affect of a blow out, the banding method could be used. The banding method is defi ned as sectioning off wet or dry hair with ponytail holders and wrapping them all the way down to the ends. Af ter the hair has been in the ponytail holders for an hour or more it will stretch out as if you blow- dried it. There are many ways to manipu late hair without using heat or chemicals, try out op tions they are boundless.
