I have a few questions for you to answer about texlaxing/texturizing.

What is your natural hair type(s) ( give the type or describe it)?
3c/4a... w/ shrinkage galore

What brand of relaxer/softner/texturizer you use ( ORS, JFM...)?
mizani butter blend lye..

How long do you leave in the relaxer/softner/texturizer (including application time) ?10-12 minutes tops..no longer. Any longer means the straighter it will get and I want to avoid this.

Do you comb through? NO Or do you have any specific technique?I apply pre-relaxer trtmt to my previously relaxed hair to prevent overlapping and then I use my gloved hand to apply relaxer on newgrowth.

What is the texture/type of your hair after texlaxation is over? still very textured... crimps, coils and all but just a tad bit looser..... which is fine with me b/c I want to avoid bone straight hair.

Thank you soooooooooo much. Sorry if there is any other thread like this, I just wanted these specific questions answered. IF there is a thread specifically like this, please point me in the right direction.

[ladylibra]

my sister is a textlaxer...

her hair is a very shrinky, tightly-coiled 4a/4b. she uses JFM Texture Softener, only leaves it on about 5 minutes and she does not comb it through. after all is said and done, her hair is a 4a similar to mine, except her hair is thinner and textlaxing makes it "hang" instead of shrinking down into a compact cotton candy fluffball of coils.

 

[eajaye2u]

You are welcome Princess! I never do a test. This product is a old school texturizer, so it will not get the hair straight. Its a level 1 lye relaxer and will only loosen the curl pattern. HTH

Thanks soo much eajaye2u
You are the first posteee
Did you ever do a strand test?

 

[prospurr4]

What is your natural hair type(s) ( give the type or describe it)?
I'm 4b.

What brand of relaxer/softner/texturizer you use ( ORS, JFM...)?
I use Revlon Realistic Regular Lye.

How long do you leave in the relaxer/softner/texturizer (including application time) ? Total time is 12-15 minutes.

Do you comb through? Or do you have any specific technique? No, I don't comb through. I apply oil to my previously-relaxed ends to protect them from relaxer-runoff. I apply relaxer cream to my new growth only, smooth a couple of times, then rinse. Then I apply a reconstructor for 5 minutes, neutralize 2 times, ACV rinse, then DC with a moisturizing conditioner.

What is the texture/type of your hair after texlaxation is over?
Well, a strand of my natural hair has a "Z" pattern. After the texlax procedure, the "Z" is straighten out a bit. Pics of my texlaxed hair are in my avatar and siggy.

Hopes this helps

Just For Me softner is awesome. I just don't leave it on for more than 5 minutes. The best texlax product for me is the Revlon Realistic lye relaxer. I could leave this one my hair for 15 minutes and still be left with an even texlax. Lye does not get my hair strait, that is why I will use it if I texlax again. Even S curl texturizer worked great for me. My problem came when I wanted to relax strait due to my lack of styling skills. Since I can now 2 strand and flat twist, maybe this journey will be different for me. I will be long transitioning though. At least a year before I decide...or that's the plan, anyway.

You only leave JFM on for 5 minutes? I thought that it would be longer than a normal relaxer because its more mild? And also cuz of the sunflower oil added to it? Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaase inform moi
