Texturizing for the first time!

[secretrose]

Hi Ladies:

I'm currently trying to transition from relaxed to texlax and I need some assistance. I am currently 4 months post relaxer and have about 3 inches of new growth. On March 8, I got a sewin to go on vacation. I was going to keep it for 4 weeks but i'm becoming very nervous about the damage erplexed since i don't know how to take care of my regular hair with extensions. I am removing it today and I plan to texlax on sunday and wear my clip-ins again .

Ok so my relaxer of choice is hawaian silky sensitive scalp but i think it may be too strong to use this time since I don't want super straight hair. Some ppl have suggested added EVOO and leave it on for a shorter period of time but i'm still nervous. Should I just buy a texturizer and follow the instructions? Can anyone recommend a good one step texturizer that I can use? TIA.

I haven't used Hawaiian Silky, but one of my hair idols used it to texturize. She posted in this thread (anikalia) on page one and two.

She used half relaxer, half cholesterol conditioner for 5-7 minutes. I copied her method when I first texturized.

Secretrose, tomorrow I'll be using SILK ELEMENTS MILD lye instead of the REGULAR at the salon. I expect to have texturizing but, never having used mild I do not know what the actual result will be. Mixed reviews on the boards about Hawaiian Silky relaxer. I only use the HAW.SILKY 14 Moisture spray. I just want ease of handling my hair, silky straight is not my preference either.
