Have I been textlaxing by accident? *pics*

Which hair type is this?
These photos were taken in december.


After washing. Drenched with leave in conditioner.

2 days after blowdrying with a round brush.

Knowing you, i can honestly say: NO YOU HAVEN'T! Texlaxing means you don't leave the relaxer for the full 15-23 minutes. Maybe you leave it for like 5 or 10 mins. If you've been doing that then you've been texlaxing your hair.

Yead I'd say you're textlaxed.

 

[bellesocialite]

I'd say yes because your hair doesn't appear to be even close to bone straight

That's how my hair looks now. I thought it was gonna be straight but I did apply a protein conditioner all through the hair before the relaxer I like it though. I'd say that is texlaxed.

It's not a bad thing... Is it?

I'm on break ok?

Texlaxing is not a bad thing. It's actually considered better for your hair.

This is exactly how my hair looks when wet and dry. I am texlaxed.

I love those waves. I hate stick -straight, thin- looking hair.

yep, i would say that you are texlaxed. this is similar to how my texlaxed hair look when wet. I would agree that its a good thing if you want your hair to be thicker but it could be a problem if you are using too much heat to get it to look bone straight.

It looks relaxed, just not bone straight. It looks if you have a mild relaxer which is different than having texted hair. It looks nice!

IDK...it looks as if you have more bone straight pieces than texlaxed pieces. When I think of texlaxed hair, I think of hair that is wavy/loosely relaxed throughout the entire head, not just certain sections.

But who cares anyways...you still have a very nice length. I can't tell from your pic but are you past APL?

I leave the relaxer on for the recommended amount of time (about 10-15 minutes) and my hair never really gets bone straight, so I know how you feel. As a matter of fact, when my hair is wet my ends will start to go wavy a bit. I don't think bone straight hair happens to everyone that relaxes their hair. But I think that you can claim texlaxed if you want to.

What relaxer are you using? My hair looks exactly the same way when wet and I use Mizani.........I am not a texlaxer, but I can certainly say your hair is not bone straight and you have a good amount of texture left. I think this is a good thing! Relaxing your hair bone straight breaks down to many of the bonds to me.

I use silk elements. It's so weird because when I get relaxers, my friends always say I need to get one lol. I'm always like "I just got one yesterday". I guess it's because I mainly air dry and not blow dry.
