I Was So Surprised Yesterday

[vtoodler]

So, I got a virgin relaxer yesterday after nearly two years of wearing it natural.

Since I often battle with dryness, I opted for a lye relaxer instead of a no-lye (I used to use no-lye when previously relaxed).

I was so terrified that the lye perm was going to burn my scalp. But, to my pleasant surprise, I experienced very little burning.

That being said, my scalp does feel a little itchy and a tad irritated. But that's nothing too serious, and I'm sure that it will soon subside. I think that I'll be sticking to lye from now on.

Do you remember your first lye relaxer?

:mob: U did what nah ? :mob:
just kidding !!!!!!


yes I remember my first virgin relaxer ... and my second and third lolol

My scalp always (even after routine relaxer) felt a lil tight and tender. I also always used lye relaxers, once I tried no-lye for a couple months but my hair was dry like pitch, so I switched back.

I might try to get some pics once I can fix my scanner. It's been acting up.

My stylist used Vitale. What do you know about this relaxer?

@vtoodler - I switched to lye 2 years ago because my hair was always dry. I'm happy to say I 've never experienced burning/irritation. I started with ORS lye, but felt I was underprocessed so I switched to Linange with great results.

I know you didn't ask for advice, but since you mentioned your scalp is slightly irritated and itchy, I'd recommend washing again with the neutralizing shampoo in case there's residue.

Just wondering if you based your scalp or not....

 

[vtoodler]

I didn't base my scalp. However, I had a lot of stuff on it (detangler, moisturizer, etc), which might explain the minimal burning.

Next time that I relax, I will undoutedbly base my scalp.

vtoodler, I use Vitale No-Lye, don't know how helpful that is to you, though.
