Thanks for the laughs ladies...this thread was pure entertainment from start to finish:lachen::lachen:I learned quite a few new terms. LOL! at bonelaxed!!

Call it George if you want to. It's human nature to catagorize and place everything and everybody into tiny confining boxes....step out side the box and be open to all possibilities. All the while maintaining and striving for a clear sense of SELF.

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.

yeah I am leaving too, I been playin too much :look:

Can the texlaxed ladies call THEIR hair what they want to now?

OP your right its still a relaxer, but they are just using the term in a way that means they left it in for less time leaving more texture to their hair, it makes sense girl!

not to descript their hair for a certain category between relaxed and natural or to seperate them from still having to care for their hair as though it is relaxed in the ways they need to

just a descript to describe that that they are relaxed with texture. I know this has already been said a zillion times now though

they are not claiming natural or trying to, i mean that wouldnt even fly!

I'm gonna call u the bomber, for blowing up lhcf! :lol:

juss playin

*out*
 
Dang, I let the hubby have the computer to himself last night and almost missed the funniest thread I've seen so far :lachen:Dayum...

BTW, last night I relaxed just long enough to loosen my curls a little. So it looks like I'm natural, but since I used the creamy crack I'm not. But it's not straight so... :perplexed ....F*** it I texlaxed for the 1st time and I love it!!!!

one more last thing

at least its called texlaxed and not texnatural! cant say the other isnt more accurate :yep:

:look:
 
**sits back, watching the drama unfold:ninja:**

I agree that texlax is simply relaxing, but not sure if people just say that because they don't want to come to terms with being relaxed.

Girl you should have known what was to come:whip:

I hate the word texlax. You are either relaxed, texturized or natural. Tis all. Back to OT. Q

:popcorn:I guess the difference between Texlaxed and Relaxed is leaving the relaxer on ten more minutes, but it's still the same chemical.:ohwell: Can you be texlaxed and relaxed at the same time? :rolleyes: I'm just being messy

(***runs out and hides till this blows over**)
 
Wow, all this these posts...Geez, people!
*saying "people" the way Ateya says in her You Tube videos :lol: *

Whatever happened to keeping it simple? :look:

Natural...Texturized...Relaxed?

(Like others have said a 'texturizer' is just descrbing the process of the relaxer being left on the hair shorter than the time needed to "fully relax" the hair...It is not a separate type or formulation of chemical. You can be more [or less] "texurized" than someone else, but it's using the same chemical as a "fully relaxed" head, ie no-lye, lye, etc.)

We started inventing words to pass the time, maybe? :spinning:

Call it what you want, yes, but dang...All these other code names for the same ish will have all of us slow people going :huh:

I think that was the point of the thread?! (Not that I read it all, b/c that's just ridiculous...)

*sigh*

Carry on...:yawn:

. . .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! It's that simple. Believe you me, we all know that we're putting relaxers on our hair. I didn't think that calling yourself texlaxed was such a big deal. :rolleyes:
 
I must say... y'all really know how to keep folks entertained... no need for me to explain tex-lax; relaxed or bonelaxed (word of the year!)

I just hope that the OP has learned a valuable lesson... LEAVE TEX-LAX ALONE...


(I'M JUST PLAYIN) But for real... arent there more important things we should be discussing like these G-D gas prices??... How am I supposed to feed my habit if it costs me more to drive to the store than buy the product I need?
 
People just need to realize that this is LHCF terminology! We're a hair forum...we are going to be more precise than the rest!
