This type of base placement provides the least tension at the base of the hair, reducing the risk of breakage.
What is a spiral wrap?
These are the relaxers that are often marketed and sold as no mix-no-lye relaxers.

There is a difference between texture and density.
What is texture is the diameter of a single strand of hair? (classified as fine, medium, and coarse)
