I recently got a question about natural/homemade neutralizers for after relaxing, which is a very good topic. Here's the question:
"how do i make a homemade neutalizer for relaxed hair? I had a formula but lost it."
First of all, thank you for your question. Neutralizing your relaxer is probably the most important step when relaxing. A relaxer is actually a chemical reaction taking place in the strand of your hair. The normal pH of our hair is around 4 or 5. When we relax our hair, the pH is heightened to around 12 or 13, causing the bonds in our hair to break and become straight. Once the hair is straight, we stabilize the hair by bringing it back down to it's regular pH of 4 or 5. This is where the neutralizer comes in. Leaving the hair to stabilize itself can lead to damage and breakage. This vital step cannot be skipped or "under done". Now, you ask about a recipe for an all natural neutralizer.

In addition to having dandruff-free hair, I also have conditioned, strengthened, clarified hair with extra shine and bounce. Here’s how to do it:
