Lye relaxers that have never failed you

[VirtuousGal]

For the more coarse, coily "nappy" haired sisters who were able to stick to lye, what has not underprocessed you? What has gotten you straight, not texlaxed, but straight?!! If I cant find one, my next perm will either be protectiv or soft and beautiful no lye. Thanks chicas!!

My sister had a hair type similar to what you are describing and she swears by mizani lye for coarse hair.

Optimum Multi Mineral (I will NEVER go back to no lye)

 

[VirtuousGal]

I get a little confused though, isnt optimum multimineral lye and no-lye?

Mizani Coarse/Resistant for straight hair. Mizani Mild/Fine or Medium/Normal for texlax results.

Yes it is, but it is the only lye (no-lye) that has given me great results. I used to use the optimum no lye and even though it gave me BONE STRAIT hair over time, it was very difficult to moisturized. With the multi mineral line, I can retain moisturize alot easier. And I love the way it processes, I have strait, textured hair soooo its perfect.

Ok great thanks, maybe I will try this!!
So many options, I pray my hair will just come out straight!

VWVixxen made me rediscover this relaxer. When I was not taking care of my hair, I just thought that it "reverted"...well now I know that is not possible . Its really good.

Hi Allandra!

Do you know what strength your stylist used for the Design Essentials? Also, if you remember, how long was your processing time?

TIA
