Thanks Nice. I'm such a goofy. I'm still looking for a back up to Phyto just in case.

My stylist uses Design Essentials mild relaxer with shea butter. It's been fine for me. I don't know if it's NO lye though. I think the relaxer is a lye relaxer though, because isn't that what they usually use in most salons??
Anyway, after switching from a regular strength relaxer to a mild relaxer (Design Essentials with shea butter) my hair has thrived! My hair feels thicker, it's soft, and not BONE straight anymore. I have fine hair, so I think the milder relaxer is probably better for my hair.

Well DE has a LOW LYE relaxer with Shea butter...which is what I'm thinking of trying. I thought like you that salon relaxers were lye.....but I always get sensitive scalp which as it turns out is code for NO LYE. I'm thinking I may try this, hopefully it will be better for my hair.

Hmmm...interesting. I've never heard of Lo-Lye relaxers. How does that differ from no-lye relaxers exactly?? I mean, I know that supposedly the concentration of Lye that is in the relaxers is probably lower than usual, but I mean what do they use instead of the "regular" lye in the relaxer? Is this safe?? I was always told that if done PROPERLY, Lye relaxers were actually better for your hair in the long run than No-lye relaxers.
Please, give me some more info on this!

Lo-Lye relaxers are just milder relaxers. Correct me if I am wrong but I thought you used the Lo-Lye relaxer

I know this is an old thread, but has anyone found the Design Essentials relaxer in an BSS store. I'm in Philly and looking for a new Lye Relaxer. Affirm was to high and didn't need the large tub.

Oh wow!! This thread is old! But thanks for reviving it! I'm thinking about going back to the DE lo-lye relaxer, so just seeing my old posts and what I thought about it back then helps me out a lot.
Ummm...as far as buying Design Essentials relaxers in the BSS stores, I haven't seen any. Trust me, I've been looking! Especially for the Lo-Lye relaxer w/shea butter. But I can't even find a place to buy it online.
So, I'm sorry. You may have to go to a salon or distributor in your area.
