Update on my first time ever self texlax (ORS) and me finding my staples:)

[Teja]

I have been meaning to post this thread for the whole week, but never had the chance!!!
I texlaxed last week with ORS, after going through a 12 week stretch , first of all let me say this whole stretching thing really is not for everyone.
I had severe shedding and no matter how much I DC nothing helped me to get the shedding under control, I really think three months is the longest I can go before having the need to put a gun to my hair!

I really loved ORS for texlaxing, all the positive remarks that I read were really true, I am actually even leaning more to ors than to Mizani butter blends which I used when got my first relaxer, I added about 4 tablespoons of EVOO, based my scalp and protected my pre-relaxed hair with Nourish and shine!
It went really well, I then Dc with Mizani moisturefuse...When I rinsed my hair out that afternoon I had absolutley no breakage whatsoever, While going through my stretch I had all these broken pieces of hair, it literally stopped in its tracks!
I also use cholesterol(Ultra cholesterol dark and lovely) which my texlaxed hair loves with a passion, I have never seen my hair react so well to a product so quickly, I know the product has minerol oil but my hair loves it!

I am about four months into my whole HHJ and I can say that it's only now that I a begining to understand my hair, I am really loving it!
Thanks ladies for all the help I have recieved so far

WILL post pics!

Thanks so much for posting this. I'm considering going the texlax route. I'm looking for as much information as possible to avoid too much damage.

Congrats on your first texlax! Glad it all turned out well!
When most people stretch for the first time, they get crazy breakage because your hair is literally going through withdrawls. Eventually, your hair will get used to it and stop actin crazy I lost a lot of hair my first stretch as well, but I kept on going. I'm at 10 weeks post now with very little breakage HHG!
