Here are some pics of when she blowdryed my hair. She didn't use a flat iron afterwards so I guess that's a plus.
Your hair looks really good. The scabbing is unfortunate

There's no neutralizer mentioned. I'm natural, but from my previous experience w/ relaxers, they should neutralize. Maybe that also caused problems in addition to all the digging into your scalp. Sorry about all the pain.Those pics hurt me to look at them. seems more of a stylist problem, though and then the excessive scratching just caused mayhem.
I don't know what state your hair is in now, but I wanted to offer encouragement.
In my teens, I had a number of burns from relaxers. Only one caused serious and permanent damage though, and that was because the burn was caused because I had a thin cut back there I didn[''t notice before the relaxer (my nape). Years later, the hair grew/grows in fine, just SUPER fine and thin and SUPER thick, dry, and crazy different in a single patch where the two vastly diff. textures are next to each other (the site of the most damage).
Anyway, I just wanted to share that I recovered from many burns / scabs. Mine weren't as severe as yours though, which does make me worry about your experience. The ones I got were also from using stronger (IMO relaxers), some super strength (of course they were stronger) and others just the brands - like Motions.
I wonder if your scalp might have had an adverse reaction to one of the chemicals in the Linange No Lye, like an allergy type thing that made it more sensitive - or did you do a LOT of scartching - and how long did she leave it in???? I've had relaxers in for an hour, done fair scatching, had my scalp scratched during rinse outs, etc. and never had such an adverse result. THis is why I am wondering whether it might be that the relaxer's ingredients don't work for you. I am so sorry but I hope you and your hair recover.
I did scratch alot but when I used Mizani Butter Blends I never experienced such burns. It seems like is recovering ok, I forgot to mention she put some sort of Gel like substance on the Burned areas. I think that that caused a more adverse reaction and made the hair cement to my scalp.
(The neutralizer also sounds strange too since you said it smells very strongly of chemicals? Maybe other ladies can vouch, but the neiutralizers I've used are normally sweetly or pleasantly scented, or just plain smelling.)
Of course this goes without saying, but I would steer clear of both the relacer and the stylist from now on, if I couldn't pinpoint confidently exactly what the issue was.
Oh and also, though I am sure you figured this out by now, when I had burns (mine were always small though), wrapping and brushing (and manipulating in general) were a no-no.![]()
Your hair looks really good. The scabbing is unfortunate, but your actual hair looks so healthy. I'm glad your scalp is healing.

So is the one you buy on the net lye or no lye???
Good evening ladies!!!
I relaxed with the AE No Lye Shea Butter Relaxer on Sunday and it's everything the OP said about it. The best relaxer I've used on my hair was Silk Elements....until this!The relaxer leaves your hair with so much body and shine. The softness is crazy, that's how good it is. It's almost like you don't even have a relaxer. Even with Silk Elements I felt the dryness (just not as much as other relaxers). With AE there will be no dryness at all. It almost looks like my hair is a different texture also....love it! I def. recommend this relaxer.
I'm attaching pics in my next post...coming in like 5 mins.![]()
