Ok, ok . No I'm ready.  Girl are you serious? If you don't know what it is you shouldn't be putting it on your head. If they took the "burn" out it wouldn't straighten your hair any more. Your welcome.

Because it contains a caustic chemical, calcium hydroxide.  Either way, it's gonna burn.  But necessary to break the protein bonds to make it straight to your liking.

I think that it is the lye.
