IDK what the h311 is going on with my hair

[L.Brown1114]

mkay so I am texlaxed. The first time I did it I used an actual texlaxer...some popular brand I can't remember but my hair was healthy and my curls where nearly the same just relaxed and my hair stayed straight when flat ironed

then fast forward 4 months later and I texlaxed again but decided to use "just for me" and it straightened out the back of my hair and barely touched the front.

I got braids twice with a 3 week break and my hair has grown BUT I have really bad breakage and some hair strands vary in thickness like so. -----=====------=====-----

I am low porosity when I am natural but with chemicals I am not sure. My hair still takes a bit to get completely wet and most products still sit on top of it and it still loves being shampood and rinsed with warm water only and DC'd with heat on a regular. IDK what i'm doing wrong or what I need to change. I can't even find a good daily moisturizer because everything causes build up so i wind up having to co-wash every 3 days or so causing me to have to wear my hair curly which defeats the purpose of me texlaxing

oh and I was thinking of BCing again....is this necessary??

I can't help you since I don't know anything about texlaxing. But maybe you can ask in the Relaxed Hair Support thread. More people may see your post.

Once you use relaxer on your hair, even to texlax, you are no longer natural, even if your hair looks the same. If you want to go back to natural, you will have to cut off your relaxed/texlaxed hair and start over. As the other poster stated, You may be able to find help/advice in the Relaxed and Texlaxed support threads on the board. Good luck, and I hope you find the advice you're looking for.

Perhaps you can try clarifying to remove buildup and incorporate more protein into your regimen. Like the pp said even though you are texlaxed you still have chemicals in your hair and it needs to be strengthened again.
