What is the primary goal of a chemical relaxer service?

• A. To break and reform disulfide bonds to straighten the hair
• B. To color hair
• C. To remove moisture
• D. To cut hair

Answer: (A)

Chemical relaxers aim to break and reform disulfide bonds in the hair to straighten the curl pattern. The service uses a reducing agent to break these bonds, then the hair is reshaped into a straight form and a neutralizer helps re-form the bonds in that straight configuration, giving a permanent straightening result until new growth appears. Coloring hair changes pigment, removing moisture affects the hair’s water content, and cutting hair changes length, none of which permanently alter the curl pattern through bond restructuring.
