Hm...
I just started doing my own relaxers and purposely kept under processing my hair.
I don't really think that the transit was that hard for me
I just did it but that's just me.

One of the benefits for me is that I can have VERY thick hair this way and also that some of my natural texture is left.

Every time I rinse my relaxer out my ends will get straightened just a little bit by the water streaming down my hair.
With texlaxed hair I don't have to worry as much about my ends and previously relaxed hair being over processed in the progress.

If you do a seach you will find TONS of information about the benefits of texlaxing.

I also like that I can just wash 'n go and wear my hair out without doing anything to it.

Absolutely! I accidently transitioned to texlax, after being fully relaxed for years. After self-relaxing, my hair came out underprocessed...but I liked that my hair was thicker, more resilient (because there's still some texture and elasticity left) and less wimpy-looking (probably was overprocessed). So for my subsequent touch-ups, I began to texlax (intentionally underprocess), and I love the results.

Also, for me, it makes stretching my relaxers easier because there is less of a contrast between new growth and texlaxed hair.

i think so. and it should be easier than transitioning from relaxed to natural because the two textures (relax and texlax) won't be that different. the biggest benefit is that with texlaxed hair you reduce the risk of overprocessing and thus your hair won't be as weak. anyways, if you decide to do it, just realize your hair may not always be as straight as you want. my texlax hair has a lot of texture and bounce, but i like it this way. i can only wear it super straight my first few weeks after a relaxer, otherwise I would have to use a lot of heat.

ditto on what has already been said, it has made my hair look a lot fuller, I went from slicked down relaxed hair, to fullness,
