Relaxers do not take your hair out. What takes your hair out is the person putting relaxer in your hair. A Relaxer can‘t be left in to long (relaxers are not Design to stay in until it burns), the correct strength must be use, this is a chemical, only relax new growth. Leaving a relaxer in to long, relaxing more then the new growth or not using the correct relaxer strength explains breakage and thinning.
