DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NATURAL HAIR AND RELAXED HAIR

Natural hair: This is the hair type that hasn't been altered by chemical straighteners, including relaxers and texturizers. Pressed hair may still be considered natural because once washed, the texture usually returns to its unaltered state (as long as no heat damage has occurred).

Relaxed Hair: Relaxed hair is the hair on which chemical has been applied to alter its texture, making it straight and easier to manage.

These chemicals are called hair relaxers, and they work by breaking down the disulfide bonds in hair, in other words, relaxing your hair strands.
