Check out the pics! Before and After!
(at the time I didnt even know what it was but it was fabulous! so much versatility )
your hair looks beautiful!No, not silly if you don't know!
Texlaxed is when you intentionally under-process your relaxer (by leaving it on for only a couple minutes without smoothing). It gives you the best of both worlds: hair that is easily worn straight, yet curls up when wet. (without excessive shrinkage)....
Oh, how I long for my former texlaxed days
I finally did it! I love it...My hair is now about 50% relaxed. I'll have to post new pics when I wash it next week. It actually looks like I did nothing to my natural hair. Only difference is I don't have as much shrinkage and my hair is uber soft!!
Not sure if it was stated or already asked, but what did you use to texlax? And what was your technique?
In addition to this, many texlaxers, including myself, add oils or conditioners to the relaxer to help with the resistance of the hair, its health, and to decrease the chance of overprocessing by having more time to thoroughly apply the relaxer to the hair. Texlaxing can also mean thicker & stronger hair than hair that is relaxed "bone straight" (100% relaxed) For more information here is the Texlax Support Thread:
