a relaxer requires more
effort and thought than just shampooing and
conditioning, many women turn to at-home

“It’s important for women to feel confident
that the at-home products they choose will not

To take all the guesswork out of relaxing at
home, she recommends Clairol Gentle Treat

relaxer that has natural ingredients and two
conditioning agents that protect your hair from
damage, dryness and dullness.
“If you follow exactly the directions in the at-
home kit. you can actually relax with your relaxer
and be confident that the results will be beauti
fully straightened hair,” Adams said.
