Migraines And Severe Headaches Maybe A Long Term Side Effect Of Hair Relaxers

My niece-in-law has always been complaining about her frequent severe migraines.  Recently we had a conversation and she told me that since we have been under 24 hours curfew due to COVID 19, in 2020, in the British Virgin Islands, she has not experienced any headaches.

Normally she would have already relaxed her hair.  But since we were not entitled to our regular luxuries of going to the hair dresser and to the spa, she was forced to allow her relaxed hair to grow out.  This ended up to be a blessing in disguise or my niece-in-law.  

I am so happy for her that she has gotten this relief from this pain and suffering.  She has gone to the doctor on numerous occasions.  She even went to have a MRI done.
As the relaxer in her hair began to grow out, it was challenging for my niece-in-law to style her hair each day.  She now had to deal with two textures of hair, her natural hair and the relaxed ends.  If not treated with special care, the relaxed hair end would break.

Now her hair is one hundred percent natural and she would mostly have braids installed into her hair or maybe a weave.
