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.
Diffusers are used principally with curly hair because the dispersed air doesn't disturb the hair's wave pattern or cause frizz when drying. There are several diffuser designs: flat vented and mitt diffusers, as well as finger diffusers that lift hair, adding body while maintaining curl or wave without frizz.
