What is the primary benefit of using a no-lye relaxer?

The primary benefit of using a no-lye relaxer is that it is gentler on sensitive scalps. No-lye relaxers typically contain less harsh chemicals compared to lye relaxers, making them more suitable for individuals who may have sensitive skin or are prone to irritation. This gentleness can help prevent discomfort during the hair relaxing process, allowing clients with sensitive scalps to achieve the desired hair texture without significant adverse effects.

While no-lye relaxers may not be as effective for all hair types, particularly very coarse or resistant hair, their formulation is designed specifically to minimize scalp irritation and chemical burns. The alternative options, while they might have their merits, do not address the primary focus of gentleness, especially for those with sensitivities.
