Extracts: "Just over 75% of
black women who apply relaxers to their hair complain of
dryness, breaking of the hair, split ends and cessation
of hair growth... |

| "Those
who apply oil,brilliantines or pomades to their hair
must ensure that the hair is washed often and that the
products do not get into the forehead because they may
cause a type of acne called 'pomade acne'. A head wrap
should be worn to bed and pillow cases changed daily.
Also they must be careful they do not develop pus bumps
on the scalp,i.e., folliclitis. |
