Dr. Miracle’s No-Lye Relaxer Super is a chemical hair relaxer designed to straighten and manage thick, coarse, or tightly curled hair. It’s part of the “no-lye” relaxer category, which means it doesn’t contain sodium hydroxide, the ingredient found in lye relaxers. No-lye relaxers are often gentler on the scalp but can leave hair feeling drier because they deposit calcium, which may require a chelating shampoo to remove buildup. The “Super” strength is formulated for individuals with coarse or resistant hair textures that need stronger relaxation.
How to Use Dr. Miracle’s No-Lye Relaxer Super
- Preparation:
- Wear gloves to protect your hands.
- Divide your hair into sections to ensure even application.
- Perform a strand test 24-48 hours before full application to avoid adverse reactions.
- Mixing:
- Follow the instructions on the kit. Most no-lye relaxers come with a base cream that needs to be mixed with an activator provided in the package.
- Application:
- Apply the relaxer evenly to dry, unwashed hair starting from the nape of your neck and working your way up to the crown.
- Avoid applying the relaxer directly to the scalp, focusing on the hair strands.
- The relaxer should be applied quickly but carefully.
- Timing:
- Leave the relaxer on for the recommended time based on your hair’s texture and the instructions in the kit (usually between 10-20 minutes).
- Do not exceed the recommended time to avoid damage or over-processing.
- Rinsing and Neutralizing:
- Thoroughly rinse the relaxer from your hair with warm water.
- Use the neutralizing shampoo included in the kit to stop the chemical processing and restore the hair’s pH balance. Shampoo at least twice, making sure all the relaxer is removed.
- Conditioning:
- Apply the conditioner that comes with the relaxer kit to restore moisture to your hair.
- Let it sit for the recommended time, then rinse thoroughly.
- Maintenance:
- Apply a leave-in conditioner or hair oil to maintain moisture, especially if you feel any dryness post-relaxing.
