How is New Options Alkaline Mineral Softener different from other hair relaxers?
New Options Alkaline Mineral Hair Softener contains no caustic or harsh chemicals. Most hair relaxers contain sodium hydroxide (Lye), calcium hydroxide ( no lye ), or lithium hydroxide. These chemicals break the bonds in your hair and erode your cuticle. To see this, leave a piece of your hair in any sodium hydroxide relaxer for 48 hours.
