Do relaxers cause hair loss?
I've been noticing a lot of hair loss recently, and I use hair relaxers regularly. Could the relaxers be the reason behind my hair fall? I'm getting quite concerned.

From my experience, chemical relaxers weaken the hair roots very badly. I recommend practicing regular Kapalbhati pranayama to improve scalp blood circulation and switching to natural conditioning methods.

Yes, chemical hair relaxers are notorious for causing hair thinning and breakage because they break the natural bonds of the hair. If you are noticing severe shedding, please pause these chemical treatments and consult a dermatologist soon.

Oh yes, they definitely can cause major hair fall! It is much better to pamper your hair with deep conditioning masks and regular coconut oil massages instead of using those harsh chemicals.

Actually, I got a chemical straightener done last year and my hair started falling out in clumps. It took me months of doctor-prescribed hair serums and stopping all styling products to get my hair density back.
