Texlaxed question!

[janaq2003]

I relaxed 1 week ago with Silk Element Lye Mild after being 9 wks post. I noticed that my hair came out quite straight but where my ng was, the waves are still there only really loose (hard to explain). I washed on yesterday and wet wrapped. This am, I noticed the same thing only a little more defined. Don't get me wrong, my hair doesn't feel nappy per se, but feels thicker. Never had this feeling with no-lye. I also kept it on for the correct amt of time and I don't have coarse hair. So my question is, is my hair texlaxed?

How long did you leave it on?

18 minutes

Did you add anything to the relaxer?

If you still have a defined curl pattern it sounds like you're texlaxed.

nothing added. Just followed directions

That happened to me years ago, i do know what you have experienced. Thats what prompted me to read up more on Texlax info. YES, thats the status your hair is in when you still have a loose curl pattern after relaxing. Seems like it happened to you by chance however a lot of people (Like Me) texlax on purpose! I Texlax with ORS Lye Relaxer. I usually mix in a few oils and/or conditioners when i do so that it weakens the strength of the relaxer as well as adding protection to my strands. Texlaxing helped me to regain my thickens and had a big role in helping me move along with the growth.
