Consider that hair relaxers commonly used on Black hair contain lye or similar chemicals that break down the hair shaft. Left on beyond the recommended time, these chemicals would eat right through the hair and cause it to fall out in clumps. This is why these same products are used in products like Drano® to clean clogged drains which often are clogged by hair. No-lye relaxers are very popular today, mainly because it leads people to believe that the product is not caustic. This is far from the truth. The combination of calcium hydroxide and guanidine carbonate are combined to form guanidine hydroxide, which could just as easily clean a sink.

[One] popular African American hair style involves tiny braids with beads at the end of them that hang all over the head. They are not wild, untamed braids placed here and there erratically, but rather very tight and very regular. You can see in pictures of African American hair styles exactly what this looks like. It looks absolutely awesome, but by God it must hurt to have it done to you.

Use the right shampoo—one designed for black hair, which won’t leave residue. Many stylists recommend Dread Soap (available from www.dreadlocks.com), which contains no colored dyes, fragrances, animal products or chemicals that compromise locks. Always rinse well after washing, and dry locks thoroughly with a towel, followed by air-drying. Tight dreadlocks that retain water may actually form mildew.

To press Black hair as safely a possible, it's all about heat. The best example I can give is this, if you have a silk blouse or a pair of wool pants, you may iron them for years with no damage, both silk and wool are made from protein matter as is our hair. However, if just one time through inattention to the heat setting or distraction you scorch or burn the item you are ironing, it is ruined. The same thing can happen to your hair. Your hair may not be ruined at casual glance but depending on how burnt and scorched the hair is you will have breakage in that area, which no treatment can repair.
