Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between lye and no-lye relaxers?

Lye relaxers (sodium hydroxide) process faster and are typically used by professionals. No-lye relaxers (calcium hydroxide + guanidine carbonate) are gentler on the scalp and better suited for at-home use or sensitive scalps.

How often should I retouch my relaxer?

Most stylists recommend waiting 8–12 weeks between touch-ups to avoid overlapping onto previously relaxed hair, which can cause breakage.

What strength should I choose — Regular, Super, or Mild?

Choose Mild for fine, color-treated, or sensitive hair. Regular works for medium-textured hair. Super is best for coarse or highly resistant textures.

Can children use hair relaxers?

Yes — we carry kid-specific formulas like Just For Me and Africa's Best Kids Originals, which are formulated to be gentler for younger scalps.

Do I need a base or no-base relaxer?

No-base relaxers don't require petroleum base applied to the scalp before processing, making application easier. Base relaxers require scalp protection but are often stronger and faster-acting.
