Help...6 months from last texlax need to retouch

[backtonature]

Ok so I grew my hair out natural and then went to the salon and had it texlaxed with Miazani (LOVED IT) came out perfect...so i let it grow for six months and now I just want to touch-up the new growth but can't afford a trip to the salon. I've done my own relaxers in the past, but never a texlax quicky. So any help would be great. Could I buy the Miazani from a salon or beauty shop and do it myself? Or is there something close to Miazani i can buy (cheaper).

They sell Mizani at my local BSS, you might want to try looking there. I am not sure if there is another relaxer just like Mizani, but since you liked it so much, you might want to stick with it for your touch up. There are a lot of posts on here with texlaxing tips.

^^ What she said. There's a Texlaxer Support thread. It has a lot of good info.

I texlax half of my hair at a time (the front then the back). Since you have 6 months of new growth you may need to texlax in quarters. First, I base my scalp then cover the previously texlaxed hair with Creme of Nature Porosity Control conditioner then with Vaseline. Next I use a plastic cap and metal hair clips to cover the section(s) I'm not texlaxing. Sometimes I use two plastic caps. The exposed section I texlax, rinse, protein treat then neutralize before moving on to the next section. Once texlaxed, I saturate all of the hair in PC then Vaseline to protect it in case the plastic cap slips. So far I have not had any issues.

I recommend practicing the procedure with a thick conditioner. The back is trickiest part to texlax. Use a timer and write down every thing you do.

I bought Mizani relaxer from my BSS. If they dont have it at the BSS in your area, you can buy it online.

I'll be self texlaxing for the first time in a couple of weeks. How'd it go for you OP. What was your routine?
