Switching from NO LYE to LYE & diff. brands... damaging?

[NoNapNique]

I've gone through several pages of threads and haven't found my answer exactly...

I am seriously considering switching from no-lye due to the dry condition of my hair and low elasticity. My scalp does not burn easily and is healthy, so I don't think it will be an issue in that sense... But I am afraid mainly because I have been experiementing with different brands of no-lye in the past 2 years (PCJ, AtOne, Motions, CON) - just trying to find what's right for my hair so I can stick with one thing for once.

I am planning to try Affirm Fiberguard Lye in Feb. 06 (my next touch-up). What is the scoop here on doing this... Is it dangerous to keep testing different brands? And also is it dangerous to switch to LYE?

Switching from no-lye to lye shouldn't be a problem. Doing it the other way around (lye to no-lye) would though.

Changing brands is not bad since the chemical is essentially the same in all lye relaxers. No-lyes have the same chemical as well.
