Africa's Best No-Lye Relaxer System Regular - 10455

A 'No-Lye' relaxer uses an alternative alkaline agent (like Guanidine Carbonate) instead of Sodium Hydroxide (lye), which is typically gentler on the scalp and reduces the risk of chemical burns compared to traditional lye-based relaxers.

The straightening effect of a chemical relaxer is permanent on the treated hair shaft. However, new growth will emerge with your natural texture. You will need touch-up applications approximately every 6-8 weeks to relax the new growth.

It is generally not recommended to relax hair that is heavily color-treated, bleached, or highlighted, as this can increase the risk of severe damage and breakage. Always perform a strand test first and consult a professional if unsure.

For optimal hair health and to minimize damage, relaxers should typically be applied only to new growth (re-touching the roots) every 6-8 weeks. Avoid overlapping the relaxer onto previously straightened hair.

Olive oil is included for its moisturizing and conditioning properties. It helps to nourish the hair during the chemical process, adding shine and softness, and can aid in preventing excessive dryness and breakage.

Chemical relaxers are potent treatments. It is generally advised to wait until hair is more mature and resilient, typically in the teenage years, and always with adult supervision and proper testing. Consult a professional stylist for recommendations on children's hair.

Immediately rinse the affected area with cool water. If the burning or irritation is severe or does not subside, seek medical attention. Ensure you applied a protective base along your hairline before application.

Immediately rinse the relaxer from the affected area with cool water. If irritation persists, discontinue use. Ensure a protective barrier was applied and avoid applying relaxer directly to the scalp.

Ensure thorough rinsing and use of the neutralizing conditioner. Follow up with deep conditioning treatments and moisturizing hair products. Avoid heat styling for a period.

This can be due to improper application. Ensure hair was properly sectioned and the product was applied evenly. Strand testing is crucial to determine the correct processing time for your specific hair texture.

Avoid excessive manipulation and harsh brushing. Use wide-tooth combs and detangling products. Incorporate protein treatments and regular moisturizing to restore strength and elasticity.
