Ok buddies, so I texlaxed last night. It took so long to part my hair and prep it but once I started texlaxing it was pretty smooth. This is my first texturizer and I'm transitioning from bonelaxed to texlaxed/texturized. I used Linange texturizer and I love it so far. I started on the back and then texlaxed the front. I the used Aphogee 2 minute Tx and deep conditioned overnight with the Linange mask. This morning, I rinsed it off and roller set. I'll try to attach pics. Now I think I grossly underprocessed my hairline or maybe I just have to get used to my new texture. I left the texturizer on my hairline for the last 2-3 minutes only. That's my weak area along with my nape. Overall, it went great. I don't have any burns. I left the texturizer 14 minutes on the back and abou 12 on the front.

Sorry for the multiple post but I don't know how to attach more than one picture at the time.
This one is my new texture after roller setting. I didn't use a flat iron so I think that if I want a smoother look I can achieve it from time to time.
I wrapped my hair and I will be taking a picture of my length later.
Thanks for letting share with you all!

I'm henna-ing as we speak, Hair Twin! Just the front two inches deep. I gotta do something about the temple grays.

Yes we are!! My henndigo is in now...I added more indigo this time so I'm excited to see the outcome. I'm getting tired of the bronzy colored grays now so hopefully it takes care of it.

Drops in to visit for a minute... y'all can't be up here talking about only losing quarter/ half dollar size amounts of hair on wash day. Some of us are jelly, because we shed like cats

Since my postpartum shedding is dying down, about a dime size, and before TU, about a nickel. I comb my hair on wash days.

Let me know how it works...I added some Amla to try and tone it down myself. Didn't work.

Girl it came out perfect! My grays are light brown and will probably darken after complete oxidation.
My grays were popping up all over my hairline. The rest of my hair is dark brown now with hints of burgundy in bright sunlight!
I used about 60-70g henna. I decided after I mixed the henna that I wanted to go darker so I mixed about 60g of indigo so I had way too much henndigo. I added salt to my indigo then let it sit for about 20 minutes before mixing the two.

I love that color. I have been using Lush Marron and adding some Amla to brown it up but since most of my gray is at my temples I'm struggling with the color. The temple gray keeps me from PS-ing because I hate to pull my hair back. So happy it worked for you. I saw this woman the other day at the grocery with the telltale red-orange halo around her face...not a good look!

Thanks ladies for answering the TU hair loss question.
KiWiStyle, here's my issue - I don't self relax either so I never really see how much is lost in total. I try to glimpse here and there and can clearly see it's a jaw dropping amount. However, I never know if that isshed, breakage or both. I always ask and I'm always told it's shed -- yeah, right, ok. This TU, I had her relax & neutralize only...I handled the detangling myself and it was very eye opening to how much hair was lost. I didn't inspect the hairs. My spirit was too weak & broken to sift through the hair ball as I wasn't sure I was ready to to accept what I may find. Seeing my hair ball made me question, how much hair others is losing.

Yeah I was definitely starting to tell my age with all the grays popping up. Does the LUSH henna wash out really good? Can you post a pic of your hairline, I wanna see your temple color?
OASN: DD and I were in the car today and talked about the orange tinge being gone! Before when I would have my sunroof opened, I could look in my RV mirror and see an orange glow...not anymore. It looks really good!
I read a few indigo articles just before applying the henna and learned that it isn't good to use shampoo for up to 2-3 days afterwards. Doing so could cause the indigo to prematurely detach (lack of a better term) from the henna and rinse down the drain. You're really suppose to just rinse with water but I used Giovanni SAS conditioner to rinse. I didn't DC and my hair still feels great and well moisturized. I couldn't just do the water only tho. I think that, using more indigo and using salt helped with my results.

My sister (stylist) did my last relaxer so I detangled myself and got quite a bit of hair loss and big knots. I don't have anything to compare it to but i'm sure it wasn't the norm. She said while processing it that I didn't detangle close enough to the scalp and she had a difficult time getting thru and tried not to cause breakage and tangles. Do you comb through to the scalp on wash days and up to your pre-relaxer wash? Or do you finger detangle?

I saw your pic and your results look great. Maybe the shampoo is my problem...I used my SD because I really don't like the smell although Lush smell is better than the powdered henna and indigo to me. I'll try to get a pic today. Lush is really grainy. It's easier for me to tell that it's still there and the scent doesn't linger like the powdered henna. I'm going to do it again maybe next week because I only did the front. I'll try the no shampoo.
Update, here's my temple:
See my problem?

Hey ladies, just checking in...
I'm a little over 9 weeks post and I can hardly take it anymore. I broke my personal no heat challenge and roller set my hair and flat iron my roots. I think it turned out good but I'm still itching to relax. I have a big trip coming up in 2 weeks and I'm trying to hold off until I get back...we'll see.
How are you ladies doing?

Wow, that is an halo. I don't think I could deal with the grainy stuff, henna Sooq rinses clean...a little residue on my scalp but I'll get that when I wash. My package of indigo says to add salt so I did, maybe you can try that too. Can you add essential oil to henna to mask the scent?

I'm definitely going to give it a try. As long as I can keep my hairline under wraps I can last the week. Going by Rainbow Blossom to check out the oils to see if I can find something to help. Yes, I haven't been able to get the color right. That red-orange is just too much for my brown skin.

I also use HennaSooq henna and indigo powders. I finally got it right. The 2 step process worked a lot better for me. I also added salt to the indigo and I got a nice off black natural color.
Try HennaSooq's indigo. It will tone down the red-orange color.
