For my next relaxer, I'm considering using Silk Elements Lye Relaxer. My last relaxer was ORS, which is no-lye, and it turned out alright, but I've heard that lye is better for your scalp, so I'm interested in trying it. I have a while before I relax again, but I'd like to be prepared.

I was considering going natural, but after watching my new growth curl and twist into 4a strands, I'm just not so sure I could handle it. I'm not much of an afro girl.  Maybe when I'm older...

TIA!

Well with trying anything, especially relaxers, for the 1st time read and follow the entire instructions and remember not to overlap previously processed hair and to follow with a deep conditioner treatment. I actually use Silk Elements professional lye relaxer and I love it.
