Glad you're back! I did it once during my last relaxer stretch. It does work, but b/c I was about 16 weeks post, I couldn't actually measure how much growth I got. I plan to start Sunday and do it for 7 days straight.
I usually just do a yoga position (downward dog) or sit in a chair and bend over.

Please let us know how it works out for you.

VICTORY CANTER 704-680-4285 NC. I copied that from my bank statement. I ordered from their online store.

I went to the health food store and got a bottle of orange essence, cant really tell if that is helping mask the smell but it wasnt so bad last night!!!

Anyone texlaxing? I went back to relaxing about 2 years ago, my hair has grown but the ends are never as thick as I would like, I have fine hair so decided to start texlaxing to leave some body in my hair with the length. Will report in here by December - I don't see any texlax threads anymore

Welcome. I'm texlaxed and several of the ladies in this thread are also texlaxed. I've only been texlaxing for about a year so I still have a significant amount of relaxed hair on the ends. I do think its much stronger than when I was relaxing regularly. Keep us posted on your progress.

I am 9 weeks post and trying to make it 2 or 3 more weeks. It seems that my relaxer will not be delayed by my New Growth but by my schedule. Football season leaves no free Saturdays. I to think that I had a protein overload, ONCE AGAIN. I think I left the Aphogee 2 minute on too long. Next time, no more than 5 minutes. I gave up on the 2 Step.

Ha! I am also dealing with protein overload. I used Affirm 5n1. I left it on for 30 minutes, but I should have only left it on for 15 max. I am currently 5 weeks post and plan to relax at the end of October. I have been dealing with extreme dryness and it seems like no conditioner can correct it. I am very frustrated. I think I will go back to DC on my hair while it is dry. I experienced good results with that method. Do you every DC on your hair before you wash?

I have never really intentionally DCed on dry hair, before my wash. But I do use an instant conditioner on my new growth during my pre poo. I wouldn't consider that DCing, but it seems to help........I am planning to relax next week, I am currently 10 WEEKS post. My last protein overload came from leaving product ( Aphogee 2 min) on too long also. You would think that after all my experiences with too much protein I would have it figured out.

Yeah, you think we both would have learned by now. I have had excellent results with ORS Mayo when I need protein. But someone gave me a brand new bottle of 5n1 and I was trying to use it since I no longer self relax. Oh well, I will stick with what works.
 
Did I lose all of my buddies!?! I haven't been gone that long. Still haven't relaxed. Will be 26 weeks post on Saturday. I REALLY NEED A RELAXER. Did a lot of blow drying and flat ironing on my hiatus (In London planning an event with no access to my rollers or Pibbs). :wallbash: Not sure when Im gonna relax. Gotta get back on my schedule. Anybody 20 weeks post or more who wants to buddy up?
 
@xu93texas

Youre seriously awesome! :hug2: Are you pumped for reneice? I would be freaking out right now if I was you. Having that women play in my head would be a dream come true! I wonder if @dontspeakdefeat is looking for potential clients:look:. She's in GA and everytime she uploads a swang vid I drool a bit.

I'm so pumped up! You'd thought I won the lotto.

You should give Tameka a call when you're ready for something different. How far are you from ATL?

EnExitStageLeft That's AWESOME!!! You definitely need to stick around so we can know which products work and which don't because you know you got the deets on everything!! I wish I had the courage to transition so until then, I'll live vicariously through you.
