My texturizer results on 4B hair with pics

You did a wonderful job! Thank you so much for the kind words too. LHCF has helped me on my hair journey, so if anything I say in a post or a blog has helped others, I'm so thankful. Just returning the love.

I'm glad you used a Lye texturizer. Lye is best for my 4b hair. I have a ton of suggestions, but I don't want to hijack your thread. I will PM you! :)
 
Interesting..I came back to say..Once joining the boards I convinced my self 4bs can't get waves from a texlax but I should of known better my hair looked like that when I use to get texlaxes from my stylist back home. Oh the memories. Your hair looks great. What did the end result look like?

Nice hair lady. You look like a totally different person to me. (maybe it's the lighting)

Thanks! It definitely is the lighting:yep:. The shot with my original texture was taken in natural light by my window.

The texturized shots were taken in my bathroom under my extremely yellow light:lol: which gave that hue to my skin :)

Thanks! I had no idea waves would develop either. I'm still shocked by my results and I'm still coming to terms with the fact that this is my hair:lol::lol:. I suppose it'll take me awhile to get used to it :)

I'll post pics later in the day of the style I'm experimenting with right now which is my first wash and go!:grin:
 
Your hair came out great! Congrats on finding a solution that works for you:)


Sent from my iPhone while out living my best life!
 
My first attempt at a wash and go. It came out ok, but I think I don't have the right products to truly work with my hair (off to sally's:look:).

I just went for a 15 minute walk to explore the area. The front unfortunately is wet with my sweat so excuse me:lachen:. It's hotter than hell out here today:nono:. The rest of my strands are completely dry minus the front :)


@hair4romheaven @renewmetoo @BostonMaria @tiffers I updated with wash and go pics :)

Ha! i'm seeing the reversion already:lol::lol::lol:, my hair is pretty stubborn and resistant to chemicals so I expected this to happen:yep:

Yeah it happens to me as well which is fine.

For your TU you may not need to put anything on the ng to slow down the texturizer because its already so mild.
 
Cant say I'm a fan of the wash and go texturized look, but I'm sure if you ironed it out or roller set it or maybe did a braid/twist out on it, it would look nice.
 
I came in here hoping to see pictures, so I'm a happy camper right now. :grin:

Your hair came out good for the first time! It'll only get better as you learn more about your new texture's likes and dislikes. I'm excited for you!

LongLeggedLife I can't say i'm a fan of it either:lol: this was the very first style I tried after texturizing and i'm good on it:spinning:! No more lol

I'll be experimenting with other styles to see what I like best.

Its so funny because when I was texturizing and before I posted pics I thought of you @bride91501. I knew you'd be a tad disappointed. You have been one of my biggest supporters on my natural journey:hug2:.

Who knows, when my program is completed, i might transition back to natural:yep:. I just don't have the luxury of long hrs to dedicate to my hair for the next 18 months.

Girl, don't you even go thinking about me when you're doing you...DO YOU :grin:! My DH has always told me that I have a way of making people feel guilty about stuff without even knowing I'm doing it :look::spinning:... maybe he's right about that lol.

It's just that to me, your natural hair represented the HEALTHIEST head of real-life 4b hair I've ever seen...for some reason I equate tons of shrinkage on 4b hair with uber-health (I have no data to link those 2 variables, so don't shoot me lol), and chile, to say your hair was healthy was like calling the Pope a Catholic :lachen:

Anyway, enjoy the new 'do- it really does suit you well. And I have NO idea what you all are talking about...that wash n' go looks FABULOUS to me :yep:
 
aww thanks Bride:kiss:, you didn't make me feel guilty though:lol: I just had it in the back of my head that you as one of my best encouragers on LHCF would be disappointed by me going to the creamy crack:lol:.

I'll confess though, when I took down those microbraids and threw my hair into that pony you couldn't tell me nothing:grin:. I absolutely loved it and felt some hesitation with proceeding with my texturizer...then i thought about all those ssk's, knots and tangles and I said i'm good for now:lol:.

I'm 75% sure i'll transition back to natural after my grad program is complete. We'll see
 
it looks really good!
i can't wait to see it rollerset or even a braidout.
man that looks tempting....lol.
 
Texturized, your grass is still beautiful! :yep: ITA it's about what makes YOU happy. I can sit over here and drool over the pre AND post, but ultimately you're the one that has to deal with it.

BTW I like your WNG pics! :yep:
 
I'm happy you found a solution that makes YOU happy! I did secretly admire your natural hair & your posts though, so my jaw dropped when I read who started the thread :lol: I felt a tiny pang of sadness hehehe But grad school is tough, so I totally understand why you made the change...please don't judge me, but towards the end of my program (right before my thesis defense), I went weeks without combing/washing my hair :look: So I applaud and fully support your decision :lachen::lachen: I didn't transition until after my program was done :grin: Anyway, your new do looks FABULOUS! Good luck with your new hair (and grad school) journey!

No judgement here LilMissSunshine5:yep: I've been warned about how rigorous grad school will be...not to mention my program is accelerated/intensive so i'll be done in 18 months as opposed to the standard 2yrs.

Congrats on completing your program! That's awesome!:grin:

Like I said up above, i'm pretty sure i might transition back to natural when i'm done..we'll see :)
