The truth about these two relaxers are, that they are both chemical relaxers that will get your hair permanently straight and if misused can lead to hair loss .

Your hair natural ph is around  4-5 and lye relaxer ph is  about 12-14 and no-lye is 9-11. Lye relaxer never have to mix they come ready to go   .Though lye relaxer seems to be more irritating to the scalp its is never has hash as no-lye relaxer on the individual hair strands . No-lye relaxer tend to leave calcium buildup which makes the hair dull and lack moister after a while and cause it to break while on the other hand lye relaxer wash clean leaving you with silkier hair .

 So you see the higher the ph does not mean it worse for your hair , it penetrate the hair bond a lot faster which is good because of the irritation you normally gets with a lye relaxer, but if done swiftly and professionally you will not have any scalp irritation .
