Answer 1

You should always have your hair relaxed and then colored, with a few weeks in between the two services. Many hair relaxers contain formaldehyde and this causes cancer. You may want to consider using a relaxer that does not have formaldehyde. Depending on the condition of your hair, it may be okay to relax it once a year.
