Pretty much all of my life, I have used no-lye relaxers on my hair. The last few times that I have relaxed, I noticed an extreme amount of dryness afterwards. I relax with Silk Elements no-lye relaxer and neutralize with ORS Aloe shampoo because of its chelating properties. However, despite chelating, I have still noticed a great amount of dryness, which I had not noticed or maybe paid attention to before. Im thinking about switching to a lye relaxer because I have heard that it doesnt dry your hair out as much. If I do switch, the next time I relax should I do a corrective and pull the relaxer through the length of my hair for about a minute? Or should I just concentrate on the new growth and not risk overprocessing? Also, I would love to hear from anybody who had a similar problem and switched and how it has helped your hair in the long run. Thanks so much!
