it permanently makes your hair straight just like a perm makes it curly
It just straightens hair. Some people have curly or wavy hair. Instead of having to straighten it everyday a perm allows a semi/permanent fix. It usually has to be touched up every 3-6 months.
It's a chemical similar to what they use to straighten your hair, but isn't as strong. It straightens your hair up to a point but doesn't really have the same effect as a straightener. I'd guess it's probably recommended for people who only have a slight wave.
It's a chemical treatment that relaxes curlier hair. Some are permanent and some last about 3 months.

You use it if you have really kinky, curly hair. It 'relaxes' the curl so it's easier to straighten if you like.
it relaxes curls in your hair and no, its not only for black people. Anyone with curly, wavy, kinky hair can use it. It makes curls straight. and i am white and i have relaxed my hair before.

it's like a reverse perm... it will take the curl out instead of putting curl in! you can get it done at a salon.
it will relax or uncurl it ...........
