Yes, it's safe but I don't recommend a chemical relaxer unless their hair is uncontrollable. If that is what you want to do, then have it done at a salon.

don't do it you'll only be on the road to weak, damaged hair. Let it get shampoo and condition once a week. Have someone you know braid it up or put in a ponytail with some pretty barettes.
Source(s): I let my daughters get their hair straightened two years ago. I just got their hair back to a natural state and working on letting it grow back. Both of my girls hair was past their shoulders,now it is barely past their ear.I'm so mad at myself for getting tired of playing in their pretty healthy thick hair. I wished I never did it because now they are having problems with the other girls in school. - How do you think about the answers? You can sign in to vote the answer.

do it professionally because if you use an amateur straight iron you may just fry their hair and it wont stay straight for a long time.
