Relaxed/texlaxed heads...what strength relaxer do u use?

[IMFOCSD]

I have been using mild strength but am thinking of uping to regular for less underprocessed/texlaxed results.

What strength do u ladies use and what results do u get?

TIA

i use regualar and my hair gets pretty straight. Its not thin-like straight, but straight with a tad bit of texture

Super. I tried to use regular but my hair sort of just laughed at it. I'm naturally low porosity but the relaxer makes the length of my hair more porous

Bumping since I'm wondering the same.

I'm texlaxed but I want to go to bone skrait...with thickness

I'm a 4b type and use a regular strength, lye relaxer to get my texlaxed results. From application to rinsing takes about 15 minutes.

I use regular, but the brand I use just have regular or coarse. It's Soft and Beautiful Botanicals. I actually just went from textlax to bonestraight (still not all the way bone though) last night. But I used the same relaxer and I put oil in mine anyway since I'm doing a self-relax and still don't want it too strong. The difference was that I smoothed the hair and before I didn't always do that or at least not as much. I use this relaxer though b/c it has always left some type of wave in my hair even when I was going for straight.

I use regular now. I used mild for years because my hair is super thick and it gave me the time to apply and smooth all over without being overprocessed. As I got better handling and relaxing my own hair, I moved up to regular (Silk elements).

I used to use regular, but the last 3/4 applications I've used mild. Becasue I've come to realize that I would like to have a little more texture and strength in my hair, and regular seems to leave it too straight.

I smooth it out and leave on for a total of 20-25 mins (including application time) apply a reconstructor, and it still comes out pretty straight. But it does have some texture to it still.

Affirm Mild. I used to be bone straight but all the relaxers I've had since June '11 have left me underprocessed, same relaxer just different stylists. I self-relax now and I'm not bone straight anymore but my hair has gotten thicker, which I like.

I use regular Silk Elements. My hair in its natural state is tight, and this get me very straight after 16 minutes. I color with Bigen permanent color, and I've been very happy with both.

i use silk elements lye REG. and i'm about to change it to mild.
It's starting to give me super straight hair in 15 minutes and i'm texlaxed. No bueno

I use mild sensitive scalp lye. I am texlaxed and I have hair that straightens easy. If I were to go bone straight I would only have to jump to regular and add smoothing to my relaxer routine.

I use the Mizani Butter Blends System in MILD. I like that it leaves behind a bit of texture, since I am not really interested in bone straight hair. That leftover texture contributes really well to the volume in styles that need more volume, like braidouts and twistouts.

 

[ellyndee]

Is Mizani classic for fine/color treated considered mild?

Is Mizani classic for fine/color treated considered mild?

I'm thinking that perhaps it IS....'cause on my Butter Blends MILD container it says for "fine/color treated" hair....

I use optimum regular.. Before my HHJ it would get my hair bone straight, but since my hair has become thicker it leaves a liittle texture

 

[irsgirl]
