Hair Relaxers (LYE vs NO LYE)

- Опубликовано: 5 июн 2015
- What's the best type of hair relaxer to use on my hair? This is a question I often get asked. However, because we all have our own unique hair type and texture, it's not a straight forward answer and requires a person to decide based on a number of different factors to suit their needs.
So I thought I'd put together this video, providing you with the differences between the two, so you can decide which is the best one for you.

🤷🏾♂️Finally a video that gets straight to the point in details with no rambling. 🙆🏾♀️
I use no lye hair relaxer my hair used to be so short because everytime I apply the relaxer I used it on all the hair even the hair relaxed before , now I only use it on the new growth and my hair stopped breaking and got longer
m.t. 😕😕
😮
Maybe that's why my hair is breaking coz relax all my hair
@@chrism7348 you are only supposed to relax your whole hair the first time you do it!! It says so in the instructions that you are supposed the only do it on new growth
I was scared to relax my hair because I used to see people with relaxed hair experience breakage.. But then I relaxed my hair with no lye relaxer and my hair didn't have any breakage at all!!!!😏😏I was shocked considering that people had hair breakage and damaged hair. So guys try the no lye relaxer it's super duper "GRT"🤩🤩🤩🤩💕💕💕💕💕
The ORS LYE relaxer has two strengths just like the NO-LYE one does that comes in a box. It comes in Normal strength for Fine-Medium hair and Extra strength for Coarse-resistant hair types
Simple and straight to the point, you earned a subscriber good job 👍
Hi Everyone, here's my latest video; #Relaxers: Lye vs No Lye. I often get asked which is the best relaxer for a person to use on their hair, so put together this quick comparison. Hope you find it useful!!! 😀ruclips.net/video/gRxiTgpdkS0/видео.html
can I cнange мy relaхer neхт weeĸ?
The way you explained this and the visual you gave is everything!♡❤❤❤ Shalom 🌺
Ahhh…that’s good to hear ❤️❤️
Thank you for this video. It was very informative. I always thought those types of relaxers were the same
No problem. Glad you found it useful!
I found this video very useful! I have to No-Lye relaxers. Because, everytime I've used a Lye relaxer I would always get burning, tingling, and irrations onto my scalp as well, and I think the No-Lye relaxer leaves my hair with a top notch great straighteness as the Lye relaxer does!!! And, I've also noticed that after washing out the relaxer moving onto applying the neutralizing shampoo that comes in the ORS relaxer kit. My hair has never felt dry after relaxing!!!!
+Shannon Bax Great to hear you found my video useful 😊
Yes, you're welcome! :-)
Thanks for the info girl and good to watch your video again. Your hair looks amazing and yes please do a tutorial.
Awww...thank you and you're welcome! Sure, I'll try and put a video together on this look, if I can manage to get it to look the same 😄
Honestly only trying to relax my edges cuz these things like to play tuck n' roll😆😂
😂😂😂😂
That’s the only part I don’t relax
Man you aint never lied
Thx Julie, this was very useful indeed. Will definitely take on board the chelating a few days after using my non lye relaxer. Xx
You're welcome hun! 😊
I relaxed ma hair with olive the one need to be mix....pls how can I take care of ma hair to be longer....Thanks
Your hair looks very nice thanks for sharing
Your hair looks amazing! Tutorial please.
Why, thank you 😃 Yes, I'll do a video on it!!!
thanks for sharing i used both relaxers before and the lye works well
You're welcome!
😭😂😭i thought “no-lye” on this relaxer im going to use right now meant THE TRUTH
Michaelia Kitnurse omg me tooo lmao 🤦🏻♀️😅
what type shampoo was that you said..Thanks
I use no lye relaxer soft n beautiful.. . Will never go back to a lye relaxer
Both is hard on hair to be honest. Both are strong chemical. I personally have course type 4 hair but I use no lye it doesn’t break my hair off. It doesn’t burn my scalp. Just neutralize hair after deep condition often and moisturize every day and stay away from heat and braids for 3 to 4 weeks after relaxing. That’s what I do
Boa tarde onde posso encontrar esse relaxante qual site porfavor
If I use a no lye relaxer can my hair still fall out (first time ever using)
I enjoyed the video. I'm interested in Lye. I would think that mostly No Lye relaxers are in most beauty stores.
+DexBlissWellness Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, the No Lye ones should be in most stores.
I'm a Ghanaian and I have thin hair, which cream would be good for me
Holaa me podías explicar en español como aplicar el alisado. Me lo guiero .poner pero no entiendo el idioma .un saludo desde España .
3 tips: 1) Seltzer water from the grocery store removes mineral deposits just as well as demineralizing or clarifying hair products.
2) Also, Coca-Cola (not Pepsi) contains electrolytes that will stop the pain caused by relaxer but it will not stop the chemical burn so you still have to be very quick at getting to the sink and rinsing out the relaxer. 3) Caucasians might find it easier to use a regular curly hair perm but instead of using rods first mix the perm solution with flour to thicken it to the same consistency as a thioglycolate perm and comb it straight, keep the hair as straight as possible until the time is up, follow the instructions and closed for neutralizing and rinsing.
Can I use both?
Very informative thank you 💥
You’re welcome!
Which salon use?
Thanks for the information. It's good to know about the special shampoos for the no- lye relaxers
+lpgilber You're very welcome!
What the name of shampoo for dryness using no lyrelaxer
I used the lye version and I burned the right side of my scalp and my hair fell out. Stay away!
madambutrfly23 Same me ...IT Happyend After 7 minutes ...So IT was Not too long thanks God i emdiatly washed my hair out
Ya use the NO LYE not LYE
Can I use that ?
Thanks. ...I will check it
They tell you to apply the relaxer on the hair not on the scalp especially with the lye one that's how it doesn't burn if you are able to apply if off the scalp.
Hey
I just want to say your videos are amazing. I always thought I couldn't have thick long hair and realized I have been doing everything wrong. There has been for a while a lot of talk about products with mineral oil or petroleum. What's your views? As I am trying to figure out what moisturizer to use on my hair daily. What two products would you recommend?
Thanks so much 😊 Yes, moisturisers containing mineral oil are known to coat the hair and not actually moisturise it, however, there are many people who love using it. So it's down to the individual. I don't use it. Have a look at my other 'Hair Product Update videos' as I show the moisturisers I use on my hair.
It’s hard to say what’ll work better for your hair- maybe do a test on shed hair or strand test. My scalp isn’t sensitive but i have had shedding from lye (Silk elements) and breakage that I didn’t quite experience with no lye- and they can both create dryness.
I use silk element.. never using again!! I used the whole brown jar just to see if I was tripping BUT clearly I can see I’m not.
I won’t be using again
I love your hair and your accents
Thank you!
The no lye relaxer is definitely easier on my scalp. But the lye relaxer gives me wayyyyyy less breakage and my hair feels stronger overall compared to no lye. For now I'm sticking with lye.
once mixed a no-lye relaxer can you preserve or reuse the relaxer again if there is any left??
No, it’s always best to dispose of it.
Thank You! Your is so gorgeous. Did you make bantu knots?
Thank you 😊 No, I actually used flexi-rods, although it does look similar to the look of Bantu knots.
Do you make delivery in UAE please
I have strong virgin hair and I want to retouch the hair but I don't know the type of relaxer I should use
It depends on a number of things really; i.e whether you have a sensitive scalp, the results you want to achieve (bone straight or with some texture) the thickness of your hair etc. This video sums it up really, so maybe watch it again to see what you think. I also have another video which may help you decide; Relaxed Hair vs Texlaxed Hair
ruclips.net/video/bCV8go8C45Q/видео.html
i have very thick hair en i use the kit so every time i relax my hair it is texlaxed en i love it
+Eby 13 Good! 👍🏾
Pretty hairstyle!!! Thank you for making this video!!! I always ask ladies this question!!! Since starting my hhj and reading on hairboard forum about lye relaxers are better than no-lye, I switched over to lye (Mizani) and loved it for several years. However, recently Mizani has made any changes to its formula causing my scalp to burn. I plan to use a sensitive scalp lye relaxer by another company on my next relaxer touch up. If I still have burning then I will try a no lye and purchase a good chelating shampoo!!!
Thank you and you're welcome! Yes, keep testing things out till, you find the best one for your hair & scalp!
+sweetfm2008 Hi FM, This is Carine from way back on Hairlista you know...the one who did all the buns and protective styles. I know it has been a while. How are you? I haven't been on Hairlista in YEARS since it's changed so much. I stumbled on your comment here. Guess what ...Ensley (dot) com brought back the original Mizani Butter Blends relaxer formula you used to used (And I'm NOT talking about that HG formula). As I recall you used the one for fine/ color treated hair. Girl, I just bought the tub and used it and I'm so happy that I can use Mizani again. I had to switch to ORS LYE because Mizani changed their formula but it left my hair dry and flaky, Mizani never did that so as of yesterday Jan. 9, 2016, I'm using Mizani again. So just go on the Ensley beauty supply website and type in "Mizani Butter Blend Rhelaxer Original Formula Fine/ Color Treated Relaxer."
+sweetfm2008 The picture of the packaging looks different on the website (it's a short jar in the photo) but trust me, it's the SAME relaxer.
+The Carines Hi!!! Happy New Year!!! I was just on your Hairlista page last week!!! I wanted to see if you were using the new Mizani Original BB relaxer!!! Yes, I purchased the new Mizani Original BB relaxer last Thursday on Ensley's site and waiting to receive it! I brought it on sale too! I'm so glad they brought in back in July!!! And watched their video on the relaxer on RUclips Mizani channel!!! If you're on Instagram, I'm ClassySweetFM. Great hearing from you and Thank you for letting me know too!!!🌹🌺
+sweetfm2008 Where are my manners?! HAPPY NEW YEAR! lol. I'm not on instagram but I'll still check out your page...Actually I'll look now :-). Do you still frequent Hairlista? I just got sick of all the silly questions when ALL of the answers were already answered on the site and it became newbie central. Don't get me wrong, I loved helping and answering questions but not the repetitive ones. All of the original 'listas are either natural or just not on the site anymore. Do you feel it's changed much?
Awesome very informative
Thank you, glad to hear it!
Quick question: I have a no lye relaxer from ORS, but the area I need to use it on is not that big. Which means I don't need that much relaxer, but I hate wasting stuff. I know you can't store and reuse the relaxer once you've mixed the components. But what if you portion the ingredients in half, like, only mix half of it and store the rest? Or is it not safe to use once the components have been opened, regardless of wether they're mixed or not?
+Denise Onyeoma That could certainly be the case, so I think it's better to use what you need and dispose of the rest. I know it's a waste, but it's better to play it safe.
Alright, thank you! :)
Denise Onyeoma put it in the freezer
what chelating shampoo do you use?
Unfortunately, I've never come across any of them in my local hair shops, so I'll be looking to purchase one online soon. Currently, I'm just using a Clarifying Shampoo (by Mane n Tail) for product buildup.
i have thick (and i mean thick) coarse wavy hair, i've used keratin treatments but they dont get me the results im looking for, this is probably my last resource since im kinda scared i'll burn my scalp off :S
+E Israel Andrade E Ok, well just so you know, a relaxer will make your hair permanently straight, so it will not revert back to your natural hair. To do that, you would need to cut the relaxed ends off and grow it out. Also, if you're not too sure of the process, then it might be best to get someone who can do it for you. Best of luck!
Very helpful! when you type longer-lasting than the other?
+Colleen Great to hear!
after which shampo and cream you use?
I have a fine thin hair so pls which relaxer should I use. Lye or No lye.
Do you have a sensitive scalp? If yes, use the No Lye and if you’re scalp is generally fine, then you can use the Lye one.
I bought lye as a drain cleaner/opener. Is that the same stuff used on hair?
Yep. It's buffered with petroleum and mineral oil but the purpose is still the same- break down the proteins in hair to make it softer and easier to manage. If you leave hair in a jar of relaxer it'll dissolve completely, it just takes several hours instead of minutues like Drano.
Quick question; which is better to use if your Texlaxing your hair? I don't want a bone straight look.
I think Lye since its not hard on your hair that is if you can take the burning
Well, I use a No Lye one and I texlax my hair. So you just need to avoid leaving the relaxer on your hair and instead, wash it out as soon as it's all been applied.
Healthy Afro Hair Thanks so much!
Beatrice Douglas. That will not work if your hair is very coily/curly. You will have to work quickly n loosen the coil to your desired preference.; loosen NOT smooth it out completely. God Bless 🌻🌾🌿🌺💛
Wonderfully informative video. Single dad here taking care of my 12 year old daughter's hair. First time relaxing her hair. Where do I get the chelating shampoo? Is there a mild strength relaxer? All i see is regular and strong. Please advise.
Thank you 😊 Awww...it's great to see a Dad, helping his daughter with her hair! You can purchase the chelating shampoo from most black hair shops. You might want to use the normal strength 'No Lye' relaxer on your daughters hair, since it's more gentle on the scalp. There's a number of relaxers which they claim to be mild for children; I.e kiddie kit relaxers, but they're still the same as any other one on the market. As it's the very first time relaxing her hair, you'll need to do it from root to tip. But just ensure you follow the instructions on the relaxer kit and follow up with the right aftercare. You can watch my video 'How I relax my hair' if you need any further tips, along with many other videos I have on looking after relaxed hair.
MJCaffey brave brace soul. How are things going with your daughters hair? I'm so intrigued. I'm in my 30s and have been relaxed since 16. Terrified to do it myself so I'm curious to see how you made out.
MJCaffey. You are great 👍 dad❤❤❤❤❤❤
Don't relax her hair. Teach her that her natural hair is beautiful.
MJCaffey they have mdild one's too
hello! My hair has been relaxed by a hairstylist but I never asked her what type of relaxer she used but my slap gets irritated quickly so I guess she used a lye one? Now I want to do it by myself but I'm really scare, confused and overwhelmed lol . What do you recommend to me and what do you mean by it's harsh or gentle on hair? Thank you!!
Hey, maybe try a 'No Lye' relaxer instead, but make sure you base your scalp with with either an oil or petroleum based product, to protect and prevent burning, as this will slow down the process. By harsh I mean, 'harmful or damaging' and by gentle, meaning it doesn't cause much harm. If you're going to self relax, just ensure you've done your research and throughly read the instructions on the relaxer kit. Best of luck :)
Ana Warner
How can I get u
No lye can also burn, if you base the whole of your scalp well don't scratch, wash scalp in the weeks leading upto relaxer a d apply relaxer off the scalp then you should not burn.
Thank you❣️
You’re welcome 😉
I want buy
what is a chelating shampoo and what brand can i purchase?
It’s a shampoo designed to remove deep down product build up, hard water and mineral deposits left on the hair from chemicals in the relaxer. There’s not lots of options for me to recommend, so just search on google. Clarifying shampoos are good alternatives as well.
I used no lye and my hair is really corse and I still get nice results. So by my understanding instead of leaving the realxer in my hair with the time needed. I should automatically rinse it out. I will be realxing my new growth soon . I use the dark n lovely no lye super realxer on my hair. Please reply . :)
Well it's up to you. If you prefer to have more texture, then yes, rinse it off immediately after applying the relaxer.
+Healthy Afro Hair I've been told that Olive oil creamy aloe shampoo is a chelating shampoo
how much minute does it takes to put it in
+Tanuja Roshine I used to do mine with 30 mins.
I didn't even know you could get pre-mixed relaxers and thought that if, say, you mixed a whole batch, but there was more left, you can't leave it for next time... Or is that a different principle?
Anyway, great video as always! Thanks so much for the information!
+Peace&Cookies〉(^_^)〈 You're welcome! Yes, there are two types and once you use it, it should be discarded.
Healthy Afro Hair Ohh, thank you for the information!

I used to portion mine up and it was fine :)
do you think either one would work for my type 2c/3a hair, great video btw it is very informative
+Anton Fuchs Thank you! Just out of curiosity, why do you wish to relax your hair?
I feel like I'll lose my hair if I use either one 😂
I agree 😂😂
Lose hair like it is breaking off or falling out?
PHX REWIRED same
J Wild maybe that’s the universe telling that those chemicals are not for u
can you put oilve miracle no-lye relaxer in you hair then a semi-permanent beautiful collection can you do that?
+jasmine. E Yes, I understand it's ok to do both since semi permanent dyes do not contain any peroxide or ammonia. However, I'd recommend you have a professional or someone experienced to do it for you so it's done correctly.
jasmine. E no lye relaxers are not good for your hair you should always buy conditioning lye relaxer
I have never relaxed my hair, i am 14 and i have a No-Lye hair relaxer. If i do it will i never be able to get my natral curls back? x
Yes that’s right, it will make your hair permanently straight and you would have to transition back to natural.
Healthy Afro Hair What do you mean by that? x
Meaning, you would need to grow out your natural hair all over again and eventually cut off the relaxed ends.
Okay thank you this helped a lot 😊
So pretty
Thank you
I know this video is old but you're never supposed to use both types of relaxers they aren't compatible with eachother and will make previously relaxed hair break off. That's probably why the lye relaxer started burning etc. Once you pick one you have to stick to that type of relaxer
What about a corrective relaxer
Are u serious? Never knew!
Is it possible for me to use my slime activator to activate my relaxer. .??
I’m not sure what the slime activator is exactly, but would always recommend using what comes in the box.
@@HealthyAfroHair mine accidentally poured out of its box
This video was well done and provided the exact information I needed. Can you tell what chelating shampoo you used?
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. I believe I was using the neutraziling shampoo that came in the box. But here’s a couple you can check out; Joico K-Pak Chelating shampoo & Mizani Phormula-7 Neutraziling & Chelating shampoo.
Healthy Afro Hair Thank you so much. I will try the Joico product since I already use some of their products and really like it.
Will it make ur hair fall out?
There shouldn’t be any damage or breakage, if done properly.
What is a chelating shampoo?
It's a type of shampoo or cleansing agent designed to help remove mineral deposits from relaxers, chlorine from swimming pools, hard water & deep down product build up on the hair.
Thank you for replying love!
i have extremely coarse hair however i just recently bought a no-lye relaxer FOR coarse hair and did a strand test, i felt nothing. no tingling. no burning sensation and i’m worried i won’t get the results i’m looking for.
It’s actually a good thing that you didn’t experience the tingling or burning, because that’s actually not a good sign. But if you didn’t achieve the results you wanted, then maybe consider trying the ‘Lye’ Relaxer in the (Stronger Strength) and get a professional who is experienced to do it for you.
I wonder if no lye relaxers still gives cancer or fibroids. Bc lye is very dangerous and is used in drain cleaner while no lye relaxer has ingredients similar to chemical hair removers which hasn't been proven as cancerous at this time. the studies linking cancer and fibroids/infertility to relaxers have been lye related. I wish there was more research.
Calcium hydroxide & Guanidine carbonate are the active ingredients. It turns into guanidine hydroxide, which isn't stable and remains active for about 12 hours. If the scalp is based the absorption rate is lessened and since it's less likely to burn it's most likely the safer option.
Please please please which better lye and no lye please tell never used
It’s best to weigh up the pros & cons and base it on your hair. I used a No lye, because I had a sensitive scalp and that worked better for me. The Lye was too strong for my scalp and caused irritation.
Thanks for your help but i bought lye how i can get solution i cant buy another I dont have mony
Please help me
There’s no solution it’s pre-mixed, so you just apply it to your hair.
What are good no lye relaxers ?
I can only recommend what I’ve used, but I would assume they would all produce the same results, if you used correctly.
Bueatiful girl 😍😍❤
+Mohammed Wageh Thank you ☺️
my mom uses these types of relaxers
Hi can I get your products please
Hey, you can check my Amazon store for an extensive list of different products; www.amazon.co.uk/shop/healthyafrohair
I have a question about straightening on my assignment. Its about which type of straightening product needed to be used on a client that has frizzy tinted hair requires to be tamed?
+Dolle Angelic Are you referring to colour treated 'Afro Hair'? or just frizzy hair in general?
+Healthy Afro Hair frizzy not afro just frizzy with colour treated hair I am refering to
+Dolle Angelic Ok, the best types of products to use (prior to straightening the hair) is either a 'heat protectant spray' or a 'hair serum'. Both will not only protect the hair from heat damage, but can also tame the hair, making it frizz free. So the best thing to do is Google search these products (as they're are soooo many) and select the ones you feel are the best! Good luck with your assignment! 😊
Healthy Afro Hair Thank you so much for replying back, you really helped me thanks :)
I needed that. I don't get how a chemical that is less harsh on hair is better for tougher hair (lye).
In that case, you would use a ‘No Lye’ relaxer.
About for men?
gender has nothing do to with hair
does relaxer last forever
+sam chin No, it doesn't. You have to continue applying it to your hair (every so often) to keep it chemically straight.
sam chin u have to apply it to your roots every 2 months
Wow you look and sound like ,Naomie Harris!
Haha 😄 a few people have been telling me that a lot lately!
I think you just diagnosed, my hair issue; that I have struggled with for years. I am going to try out the chelating shampoo. I'll be back to thank you if it works. 😂😊
+GoodVibesOnly Haha 😁 Sure, keep me posted.
ComeTalkWithMe Did it work?
I have taken exactly the same route as you as I had the same problem. I love the ORS no lye relaxer. However, I incorporate Designer Touch's After chemical Treatment in my Olive oil no lye relaxer regime. It works a treat to regain my hairs natural moisture gloss and movement which is great. Because my hair was too dry after relaxing before I met this. However, have you got any brand suggestions for chelating shampoos? Because I'm running low on the Designer Touch product and I currently live abroad where this product is inaccessible.
+Sue Berry Sorry for the delayed response. Here are a few options;
1. Redken Hair Cleansing Cream Shampoo
2. Nexxus Phyto Organics Kelate Purifying Shampoo
3. Joico Resolve Chelating Shampoo
4. Kera Care DeMineralizing Treatment
👍🙌❤
this type of relaxer still burns my hair lml !!
both of them non lye, burned my hair sm damn
No disrespect lye relaxing ls for people real thicker/course 4d and 4e hair . No lye relaxing for fine and medium hair it bet to these relaxing twice a year so it won't harm hair and scalp.
No lye works on coarse hair as well they just have to use the super formula. Lye will not straighten as much as no lye does and 9/10 will burn.

its too harsh do not buy
Nice video. But ladies be careful. You are not suppose to relax hair more than twice a year.
+thenotsobeautybear ok sister good luck with alopecia and fabroids
+thenotsobeautybear good for you
chris that's false information
The people I know that comes to mind that has really bad fibroids have been NATURAL (no chemicas is hair) their entire life. smh. My mom is one of them.
The model on the box says her hair was never relaxed, it was false advertising 🤦🏾♀️
That’s what people are saying, but if you check her twitter page, she actually confirmed that she had to get a fresh relaxed and cut the day before her photo shoot.
Geez... thank goodness I stopped using relaxers. To each their own..
why u relaxing your hair anyway
YOUNG TiMO cause she can?
hehehehehe
IF YOURE IN SOUTH AFRICA DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT IT IS HARSH ON THE SCULP I STROGLY DISAGREE WITH THIS PRODUCT
So one is harsh on the scalp and the other is harsh on the hair. Don't relax your hair. Pretty simple.
