Mizani Mild - lye

Usually lye. Have used Mizani Sensitive Scalp (no-lye) when I was relaxing.

My hair is grazing bra strap so I think it will be ok for me to answer, right? I use Motions Oil Moisture Mild.

This lye vs. no-lye thing is really confusing. I read in one of the older posts that Profective (which uses a neutralizing foam as opposed to a shampoo) is a better no-lye. I want long hair. I can't sacrafice thickness but at the same time I don't want dry hair that doesn't shine. Can you have it all?

I think I will try this and see how it goes. I am somewhat at the beginning of my journey and want to do everything right with as little setbacks.
