I ain't speaking for the OP or nothing... hell I don't even know her, but I don't see her as saying natural is better or anything... just wondering why the hell folks say they texlaxed instead just saying they relaxed

Dang! look @ all the pages in this thread.....

I've never been a "fan" of the word texlaxed since texlaxed and texturized are the same thing. I saw in a different thread someone trying to explain the difference between a product called a texturizer is different than texlaxing. We all know that it is all the same thing.

The OP's op did read like she's angry. *in my best soothing Sinclair voice while comforting the OP* "Woo, woo, woo....woo, woo, woo...."

I think there might be an issue with chemicals period here, thats just what I'm thinking, I could be wrong though! :look:

Its like the op doesnt want any 'other' categories, only relaxed or natural, because texlaxed ladies might still look close to natural, she want to make sure they know they cant claim natural status

again I COULD be wrong though :look:

That is why people use it. Texlaxed hair generally does have different moisture and protein requirements than people who process more fully so that is one reason why people put that into their posts when they ask for advice.

Yeah, that is true....

And i know that it is very helpfull to know the difference between being relaxed all the way and not and how bone straight hair needs more care and to help expain how people have washngoes, healtheir hair, thicker hair even though their relaxed and ect....so i do think the term is usefull.

But, i still think its kind of "too much" to consider texlaxed hair a whole different category from just plain relaxed in terms of protien/moisture requirements or regimen help...because no-one relaxes their hair the same,....Someone can call themselves texlaxing leaving 50% of the curl, another 30% another 70%....So the general rule after you've relaxed your hair is to make sure your hair has enough protein, and balance your moisture. So it really doesnt require any different rules in that sence to me, which is what i see alot. I dont think you can really "help" anyone any different in terms of moisture/protein if their hair is relaxed or texlaxed, their still going to get the same answeres.

Dang, you're not playing! Don't forget the Miracle Gro. Don't be surprised if you catch me raiding your trees. I may start planting a few next year.
 
LOL@this thread!

. . .thats why they say texlaxing. its not denying they have relaxed hair, they just dont relax it bone straight so there is still a lot of curls and/or texture. texture-tex, relaxing-laxing which = texlaxing.

Thank you for clarifying. It's an LHCF term and most people do understand the meaning and reason for using it by just looking at the term.

Girl, you are blessed.

LadyEsquire said:
sweetie you are relaxing, you're no more natural..... well, a texlaxed chick can reply, "sweetie, why does this rent space in your head?"

Can someone please set this straight.... I know i'm going to get some mean responses, but whatever... you knew you were gonna trigger some ish in here, at least you admitted it.

yeah but no fruit! unlike someone else I know! :look:

I need her to come talk to my trees:lachen:

Oh, okay. :lol: If they're very young trees, it might take them a while before they mature enough. I remember when I was a kid, my dad planted a mango tree and nurtured it for years, I watched it grow while licking my chops in anticipation, but just when it began to bear beautiful fruits, we moved. I never got to taste its fruits. :nono: Gee, I am still traumatized thinking about it. :lachen:

It never bothered me. I don't get the feeling that someone is trying to deny they are relaxed just because they choose the term 'texlax'. There is no way to deny being relaxed if u r. They don't leave it on long which loosens the texture. I on the other hand relax bone 'straight'

Your avatar is gorgeous...beautiful hair!

I don't think that the problem is to be relaxed or not . I think that people use the term texlax or texturise to describe the result of the application of the product ( relaxer or texturiser) , I didn't read here that when you texlax or texturise you are natural ....
Please don't be angry some people want to have advice it's one of the purpose of the forum .
In french we say : restons ZEN. :lachen::lachen::lachen:

STOP MAKING SENSE! :lachen: :lachen:

Theres no such thing as texlaxing, its a relaxer!!! you are now relax, whats wrong with saying that you are relax. There are naturals, people who get texturizer which are still chemicals:spinning: and then there are people who are relax, IMO, I think people who go from natural to relax dont want to come to terms that they are relaxing again, oh i'm going to just texlax, sweetie you are relaxing, you're no more natural..... Can someone please set this straight.... I know i'm going to get some mean responses, but whatever...

There were no questions in your post...clearly a bunch of statements...but I digress.

If that is the case then we don't need to distinguish between relaxed or natural hair either since they both have the same requirements.

I don't think anyone thinks that texlaxing to totally different than regular "relaxing". We all know we are still using chemicals. Its just a more detailed way to describe your hair after the processing which can help people help you. From being very texlaxed to being BONE straight to being just regular relaxed, I can tell you that my hair had very different requirements in each stage. All hair needs to the same thing, just in different levels which can be affected by the level of processing you put it thorugh. Hence why people use texlaxed.

I think the statment box does ask a question:spinning:
Click to expand...

Well...if one sees a question, one is likely to open the thread to see that there is a further explanation of said question. Your "explanation" rudely insinnuated that those who texlax are in denial about relaxing. That is what angered most people.

Furthermore, you are the one who knew that your statements would anger some...why are you surprised at the "seriousness" in which your statements were taken?

Say what you want, I won't be back to respond. Have a great day sweetie! :spinning:

Mook you crazy :lol:
Im in a really good mood and this thread has kept me laughing this morning.

here on the boards we are allowed to ask questions and we are allowed to answer questions :yep:. Most people know that IF they want to be a natural they have to stop relaxing--you cant be both a relaxer and a natural--we know :spinning:. sounds like you were venting, want to talk about it? :look: you can always PM me...I haven't been PMed lately anyways.


ooh...plums, peaches, grapes, avacado, oranges, pomagranates oh my :lick:
Irres, send me a fruit basket for thanksgiving or christmas...please :grin:
