Any Long Term Risks of Using a Chemical Relaxer?

Hi there,

I wanted to know what are the long-term risks and effects of user a mild chemical relaxer. Could it harm the follicles and cause balding? I am a white Jewish male in his mid-30s with very curly and frizzy hair. I have all my hair. My father lost all his hair in his twenties, but the men on my mother’s side seems to have all their hair.

Thanks for your help!

Relaxers require an experienced application. The risks for poor use can be a disaster. With a good professional applying these chemicals, you can get away with it for years.
