I USED MIZANI LYE FOR WHAT, 10-15 YEARS. OH, IT GOT MY HAIR STRAIGHT, BUT TOO STRAIGHT. I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY MY HAIR WOULD GET LONG, BUT WAS ALWAY'S THIN, SHEDDING AND BREAKING.
BACK IN MARCH I TRIED PHYTO II WHICH WAS NO LYE. IMMEDIATLY MY HAIR WAS STRONGER AND HAD A THICKER, HEAVIER FEEL. IT ALSO FELT A BIT DRYER WITH NO LYE WHICH I DID NOT CARE FOR.
3 MONTHS LATER I TRIED AFFIRM FIBERGUARD NO-LYE. I WAS HAPPY WITH THAT ONE AS WELL, FULLER HAIR, STRAIT BUT STILL A DRYER FEEL. I FINALLY CONCLUDED THAT:
LYE=SUPER STRAIT RELAXED HAIR THAT HOLDS MOISTURE BETTER BUT WAS ALWAYS FLAT AND LIMP SOON AFTERWARDS. ALSO IT BURNS THE SCALP AND I HAD MEGA SHEDDING AND BREAKAGE CONSTANTLY.
NO-LYE=STRAIGHT ENOUGH BUT NOT FLATHEAD STRAIGHT HAIR THAT HAS BODY AND FULLNESS. MY HUSBAND DOES NOT BUG ME AS MUCH ANYMORE ABOUT MY HAIR BEING ALL OVER THE FLOOR BECAUSE IT SIMPLY DOES NOT SHED AND BREAK NEARLY AS MUCH. HAIR HAS A DRYER FEEL, BUT CASTOR OIL HAS FIXED THAT PROBLEM BEAUTIFULLY.
THE MORAL OF MY STORY IS, I NOW HAVE A THICKER HEAD OF HAIR THAT DOES NOT SHED LIKE A DOG AND SNAP EVERY TIME I PUT A COMB TO IT. I CAN DEAL WITH THE DRYER FEEL. SO WITH THAT SAID, I WILL RIDE WITH NO-LYE FROM NOW ON. I NOT KNOWINGLY ALLOWED LYE TO EAT AWAY AT MY FINE 4B HAIR LIKE ACID, REDUCING IT TO NOTHING, SO I'M EXCITED TO SEE THE OVERALL DIFFERENCE I BELEIVE NO-LYE WILL BRING. SO FAR, SO GOOD.
HAVE YOU EVER MADE A SWITCH BETWEEN THE TWO? PLEASE SHARE
