Lye relaxers are known to work quickly on the hair, but as a result they might also rinse out of your hair easily. Their main ingredient is sodium hydroxide, and they are also known as âalkaliâ relaxers. No-lye, on the other hand, is mostly made of calcium hydroxide, which can dry out the hair.
Apply the relaxer to 1/8-inch (3mm) sections. 1  You will need to use a color brush or a 1-inch (2.5 cm) paint brush to apply the relaxer to the sections. 2  Saturate the hair with the relaxer. 3  Apply the relaxer to all 4 sections until the hair is completely coated.
