Would it be a bad idea if I switched from a no lye relaxer to a lye relaxer because I hate the way the no lye relaxers make my hair feel.  It leaves my hair looking dull and poofy after a while.  I also noticed that my hair had a spongy feel to it.

Also if you are noticing that your hair reverts after washing your hair and you had a relaxer not too long ago you might want to switch brands of no-lye it might not be strong enough or right for your hair type...

Thanks  http://talk.hairboutique.com/member_profile.asp?PF=21905&FID=24 - blackhoney112 !!   Ill will look into trying another relaxer that might be stronger because now that you've mentioned it I do have really coarse hair so maybe that is the problem.

IM USED NO-LYE AND  I CHANGED TO LYE RELAXER. I NOTICED WITH NO-LYE THAT HAIR WAS EXTREMELY DRY. I HAD TO USED A LOT OF MOISTURIZERS. SOMETIMES MY HAIR WAS SO DRY THAT NOTHING MOISTURIZED IT.

LAST WEEK I CHANGED TO SILK ELEMENTS LYE RELAXER AND MY HAIR IS NOW SOFT AND HEALTHIER. I RECOMMEND YOU TO CHANGE TO LYE. IM READING SHAMBOOSIE'S BOOK AND HE RECOMMENDS LYE RELAXERS. OTHERS AUTHORS AGREE WITH HIM.MY HAIR BREAKS A LOT WITH NO-LYE BECAUSE OF THE DRYNESS, AND NOW I DONT HAVE THAT PROBLEM. SILK ELEMENTS IS AN EXCELLENT RELAXER . TRY IT . YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THIS CHANGE.HOPE THIS HELPS.
