I've looked up a lot about texlaxing and there seems to be a few methods. Some people use lye and others use no lye, some apply oil/conditioner/saa to your relaxer or directly to their hair to prevent it from processing too fast. I tried texlaxing for the first time a few weeks ago and my stylist just applied my regular relaxer but only left it on for a short amount of time. Basically there's a few different ways you can do it
So I suggest you look at this thread:
http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=131009 it has some good info and it can re-direct you to some other threads and hopefully they will help with your questions!
I'm sure some others can chime in as well.
HTH!

really for me it's about using a good but weak/mild relaxer and time. my 1st texlax was due to an error but I was planning to do it anyway just not right then.
you'll have to learn your own hair and what it tolerates and likes. after my 1st texlax, I tried to do some of the 'methods' and my hair was like NO! I didnt like it and had to do a corrective 2 weeks later.
the best thing I can say is to try to at 1st be on the super conservative side as you can always do a corrective later. but once it's straighter than you want, there is nothing you can do about it.

Great answer deusa80! Good texlaxed results very from head to head. I personally use Motions Herbal in Super and mix it almost half and half with conditioner, only use my fingers to smooth, and always use a protein conditioner before I neutralize.
How long have you been going to the stylist that is going to do the chemical (do they know the qualities of your hair)? How experienced are they with texturizers? If it is a fairly new stylist, do you now your own head to advice them of the best thing to do? Is your hair resistant or does it process easily?
Research texting (and touch ups) as much as you can and go step by step through how its going to happen with your stylist before they do anything to your head. When doing retouches make sure that your length is protected so that it doesn't get straighter.
Remember that you can always loosen more but once it is too straight there is no going back.
