My texturizing process... **pics**

[cmw45]

Are you at all worried that having the twist in will prevent you from getting all of the relaxer out or if you'll end up having a ribbon effect where the part that is twisted towards the inside doesn't get relaxed while the outside does?

Sorry I'm just now seeing this!

I haven't done the twist method since then, mainly because the second time around I texlaxed (going straighter/wavier) instead of texturizing. However, if I were to do it again I wouldn't be too worried because I would have neutralized a few times and also taken the twists down immediately instead of leaving them in for a day like I did last time.

Bump, I just permed my hair with twists in it; shoulda known that somebody else here has done this too.

Good info though, big thanks to the OP! Good stuff, (though I avoid the sink and do the whole rinse/wash thing in the shower)

Did you get similar results ?

Thanks for bumping, Ivonnovi! How did your hair turn out?

The OP's results were gorgeous.

I'm due for a touch-up in the next couple of weeks and I am seriously considering trying to do it myself. I'm all about DIY in 2010.

your hair looks amazing! I have to try twists that would be the perfect summer style.

Is texlaxing with twist a new process? I never seen this one before. I love her results!

Sorry it has taken so long to respond, my camera phone would not do the err textures justice and I had an unexpected trip to take.

I'm posting now with decent pictures.


Note:
I just relaxed enough to "barely loosen" the curl pattern + I'm toying with the idea of getting sister locs. So here goes.

The top of my hair has extensions in it. I did this to fill-in-the-gaps of my fine hair. One of the pics is with the ext. down (and has 2 yarn twist hanging, as I was experimenting with these for "color-matching").

The pic with the brown top is from my phone. It shows my hair in a pony as I'm adding the extensions in the crown.

I used wet 'n wavy hair for the extensions, one of the pics shows my hair and the w'nw hair hanging in a pony. I think it blended well.

Yes, I've flat-iorned all the hair and it looked ok (at home). I wasnt' too pleased with the look after a few hours.

This pic is the style I'm wearing now. Pony in flat clip at crown with my hair swangin' all over.

To achieve it I simply put "my hair" into 2 rear braids, and set them on 1 cloth-covered roller and scarf at night. In the morning, use a very damp wash cloth to moisten the w'nw hair, using a wash cloth to I uncurl, unbraid and fluff my hair and "go".

I didn't know you could texlax/relax with twists in your hair. Your results turned out nice.

 

[doll-baby]

Great job ! That's like the most perfect tex-laxed look I've seen thus far !
