The struggle 😩

Listen. Im bout ready to cut it off again!! Then that way I won't have to deal with the bipolarness that come with having hair 😩😂

💯💯

Yes! It’s a cycle I went through 3 times 😭😭😭 when I get tired of loose natural this time ima loc it right on up

Not I! Hhhh

Same here sis!!!

So how has it been?

Exactly the same reason why I want to texlax

I went past shoulder length within 2 years on natural hair...without over caring for it ...I can't control this forest .. am here looking for solutions

Same! It’s been over five years. I’ve tried starting over too. It keeps breaking when it gets to my shoulders. My hair gets dry and breaks.

How often do you textlax your hair

@@everythingbchris i do it three times a year.

Cupcake do you find you retain length better with texlaxing? I have been natural for a year next month but have issues losing allot of hair when I detangle, no matter how careful I am. I keep hearing negative views on texturizers so I’ve been afraid to try it.

People sleep on it. It really is the best of both worlds. People can hate to cows come home...that aint got nothing to do with me and my hair..lol

@@adrenna1973 Exactly! 🤣🤣

I’m sure you can share some really great tips!

@cheryldavis770 I'm only asking because I'm seriously considering texlaxing, but I'm concerned about the chemicals. Would you say that your health (both physical & mental) was affected by texlaxing?

I know that's right Delancey, I've been thinking about telaxing because my natural hair is just uggggggg I grew it pass BSL when I went back to Blue Magic, I continue to use natural products in conjunction with it and still could not keep my hair moisturize the way I prefer it to be. I am seriously telaxing my hair. Now that I know how to grow it, I am ready for new longer lengths. Great video you look beautiful

same here, when natural, i get too many knots and tangles, hard to moisturize. My hair thrives when texlaxed

Me and u both. I cant do natural. Its not working for me either

Same here. I just want to know which one anyone thinks is better..I've never done it, but I used to perm it. I did the big chop 3 years ago and I HATE it!!!!

@@thefeminine9152 I get what you are saying but it being natural doesn't mean you have to like it. Plenty of people correct the things they don't like. My GF comes from a family of heavy chested woman and got a reduction. Her getting a reduction made her look younger and more stylish.

Onyinye Okeke I wanted my hair to be more healthier and for it to grow longer.. what are your hair goals???

Girl I am in the same boat! I don’t feel my hair has an issue growing but I definitely was interested in wat my curl pattern looked like but now I think I’m just wanting to see my length over actual curls..have you looked into blow drying and doing that instead of going the chemical route?

Ify Okoye definitely want healthy and longer hair as well 😭😭

Rae of sunshine 🌻 totally get how you feel!! I haven’t experienced much with heat. But I’d love to see the actual length of my hair. I just feel like natural hair is a lot of work... you have to manipulate it less, use less heat, constantly moisturize, and the list goes on.

@@onyinyeokeke5102 I was devastated when I blew my hair out for a trim. Single strand knots and my hair looked really sad. When I was relaxed my hair was brastrap length and health. I've been wearing my natural hair straight and I am happy. I straighten every other week after a full wash deep condition session. I am so much happier because I feel it suits me best. Don't feel that you have to be natural. No matter how we wear our hair we are still black and beautiful!

Hi I'm texlaxed also but my hair was super puffy when the salon did a roller set ... I wanna try again with my current hair dresser but I'm afraid it won't work out .. What are ur tips to get good results with roller setting texlaxed hair? Thank u!

Gina D. Things that work for me are....deep conditioning...a good foam wrap that doesn’t dry out my hair. I like BB foam wrap because it give me shine...also sometimes Jane carter wrap & roll....because of the light weight feeling it gives my hair....I also use sometimes design essential almond & avocado foam wrap....and I use to use lotta body but stopped because of the crunchiness it made my hair...lol. But really any foam will work it just depends on what u are looking for. Key tips are to practice like crazy....I found the more I did it the better I got. Also....watching KZfaq videos helped a lot. Also make sure u detangle and smooth your hair....doing so will improve your results drastically. Also I like to roller set with perm rods and flexirods. They are easier to control how snug the roller should be to get good results. Last, I prefer roller setting on blown out hair compared to wet hair. I found that process easier because the detangling part was done with the aid of the blow dryer and everything wasn’t so wet and messy where I couldn’t control how I wanted the hair to lay on the rollers. So once I found that out....I started doing dry roller sets. You can KZfaq to see examples of how it’s done also. Hope that helped😊

@@TiffanyWilliams-rj7ul thank you so much ! This has definitely helped me out. All the things u named , my last hairstylist didn't do any of that and my hair was so dry and puffy 😭 I wanna stay away from flat irons as much as I can and use indirect heat more often . I love the volume and the look of rollersets and I think if I do more research on youtube like u said I can save time and money . And my hair seems to thrive when I learn to do things myself.. Its pretty cool to learn about dry rollersets. I think my hair will like that because I've done a Bantu knot out on dry, detangled hair and I loved the results, almost similar to getting a rollerset... And when I did a wet Bantu knot out, my hair was puffy, hmmmm 🤔 Thank u again for your helpful tips and good luck and continue success on your hair journey !! 😊

😂🤣🤣😂. Story of my life

It doesn’t grow your hair. It helps retain length

Yes please show us. I'm bone straight and want to start texlaxing.

it truly is... thank you.

Awesome! But you have to be consistent with your hair regimen now so your hair can thrive.

Yayyyy 👏🏼👏🏼

Absolutely! It’s a more safer method for stretching your hair and trust me your hair will thrive if you take good care of it as well

I’ve been natural for 14 years and despite all the experimentation and $$ on profits, styles, finger detangling, protective styles,, moisturizing... it STILL HASNT gone past shoulder length. I’m o we it! Texlax here I come!!

@@ms.hjohnson6820 Have you done it?how is it treating you?

@@senamilemvuyana8274 I did it, and I somewhat regret it. I’m an actress, and now everyone wants my hair natural… problem is, I live in Aus and they don’t know what to do with it. :/ Also, i left it on too long, and used a regular relaxer, just thought I’d leave it on less time, accidentally left it on too long, my hair is ruined. Falls out all the time, have lost tremendous length (it was way longer than i thought), and it’s been a pain. I’ve bought some wigs and I’m just going to start over :/

@@ms.hjohnson6820Oh I understand. Agh, I'm sorry about that hey ❤❤

Good luck on your new hair journey !!

Didi thank you 😊

Yes.! I’m so jealous😭😭😭

Uchendu Chizoba thank you chizoba ❤️

Awwww,, thank you so much.. soon 😊

What happened?? You have to be completely honest with yourself when it comes to maintaining your hair.. but always go for what works and not what other people thinks.. 💖💖

Thanks for this!

Go for it! xxx

Hi thank you for watching. My hair is 4c.. I will put up and updated video about my hair soon 😘❤️

Thank you so much! I just posted a new video now.. you should check it out so you know why I have been absent ❤️🙏🏼

your hair type is really lovely.. cant wait to hear more about it

Yay!

yay.. please let me know how it goes and if you have got any question about the process

How did it go for you?

Thanks for the tip! will definitely try it out.. my hair is so full so its really difficult and time consuming for me👊

yay! glad you made this choice.. videos and techniques coming soon.

I will soon 🙏🏼❤️

Oh nice...

Same here.. 😂 i kept trying to relax my hair and realised the strength of my relaxer didn’t make my hair fully straight and sleek.. but kept going with it ☺️❤ best decision ever

Hi Didi did you get answers to these questions?

Moisture I would suggest Tresemme moisture conditioner. A bond builder: Olaplex no 3 Texlaxing is to do with less timing than relax hair. Example 12 mins this is applying the relaxer and then washing it out. Reduce smoothing out the hair too much. Detangle on a regular basis. Be careful how long you stretch your hair. What works for some is to only stretch for a months , do not try and go above what your hair can handle. Anti fizz and anti humidity hair products help. Rollerset is a plus and does work on texlaxed hair . Lots of hair guru on KZfaq that rollerset their hair without a problem. They have volumn and full hair.. Books- on relax hair etc via Amazon People to watch as well 1. Uluvmegs 2.Hairlicious 3. Haireducation 4. Brianna Let me know if you want more names who can provide you with more info and demonstration as well.

It depends! How often do you color your hair?

Try moisturized two strand twists and a bonnet

@@sonyasays7538 Thanks

New video up shortly ❤️

phena maduagwu thank you so much... it not so bad... you will be able to handle the humidity if you try

Okay 👌 😘😘❤️

I thought the same thing! I don't wear my hair straight so the humidity doesn't matter for me! I like the volume

Yes please show this video or please share the textlaxed process you follow🤗🤗

Most of them don’t

Not sure of a place where you can learn in lagos. My advice will be to look it up on KZfaq

Get a professional so you don’t ruin your hair

In order to get back the same texture is to time your hair when you do it the first time and the next time you do it again then use the same amount of minutes you used before to achieve the same texture.

Great tip, also to apply it in the same order as u did the first application.

Yes, when it’s fully dried, it will shrink

Absolutely.. every 6weeks

Hen Flash some people do it by themselves, but I prefer for it to be done by a professional.. conditioner is mixed with a relaxer to help slow down the processing rate of the relaxer when it is applied on one’s hair

@@IfyOkoye I appreciate your reply. I'll keep you posted :-)

Will post a video soon

Please do not texlax your hair if it’s breaking. It could worsen the situation.. focus on deep conditioning and hair treatments for now. Hormones can be a suspect too.

​@@IfyOkoye damm i am glad i found this! My hair is also natural and breaking dou due to heat and cornrows, so i was thinking maybe relaxing it can make it better since i used to have healthier relaxed hair

No side effect so far. It’s a safer option than relaxing in my opinion

Sorry to hear that.... allow it to grow back.. give it time ok

Yes absolutely!! But I use a blow drier only. That’s the only time I get heat on my hair

✅✔☑💯

texlaxing is like relaxing...the difference is in the chemicals and methods of application.. will give more insight in the near future

@@IfyOkoye No, *The chemicals are the same.* The application is different.

The chemicals are the same. They're just marketed differently..In other words, the *label* on the box can say "texturizer".. Or "relaxer". The chemicals are the same though. U can get your hair bone straight using the box labeled 'texturizer' , n u can texlax (as the trendy term goes) using a box labeled 'relaxer'. *Its all in how it's applied and smoothed.

T G I use a no lye relaxer mixed with a conditioner to slow down the processing rate of the relaxer

@@IfyOkoye Yes I see that often. That's pretty popular now.

Straight hair is easier to roller set. Hair with more curl pattern is harder and limiting the amount of heat on your hair is important for hair growth too

posting my texlaxing video shortly.. turn on notification if you haven't 😘

@@IfyOkoye ql,

No, never start at the roots.

I use a no lye relaxer from ors hair care brand

@@IfyOkoye Thank you.

Absolutely! But give it 2 weeks before you braid please

14 minutes.. my detailed texlax video is up in a few days

Ify Okoye can’t wait!!

Lol! Please focus 🤣🤣 🙏🏼 thank you

Absolutely.. will post some hair videos soon

Every 6-7 months

Yes. Those are important factors. Some require much maintenance.

GREAT...advice.👏

The whole application process and texlaxing is about 12-15 minutes

Yes it is. (Those are the ones that usually can use and want a texturizer).

@@user-zx5xw4yw2e thanks

Be careful taking advice. (Many folk do not know how to properly apply a relaxer in order to loosen the curl -- that's all "texlaxing" is... N if they do not know YOUR hair it'll be difficult to explain in great detail for best results).

Every 7months

I love the cream of natural argan oil regular no lye relaxer

My hair wasn’t so bad because I constantly maintained it in my own little way. I wasn’t that bad because I wore it out and kept it moisturized most times. Plus I had a nice amount of hair on my head

l texlax every 24 - 28 weeks

hi nicky.. i texlax every 7 months

@@IfyOkoye so thank you for your soon reply, i am about to texlax my hair soon :) I am so nerveous. I have Natural hair till shoulder and I want to grow my hair past shoulder :) last question before I texlax I have to wash it or doens't matter?

Yes wash your hair a week prior to your texlax day.. 😘

@@IfyOkoye thank you dear! I have soooo many questions so! Thank you once again !

Kesiena Ejinkeonye yes it’s safer on your hair

The chemicals are the same. I wouldn't say it's safer, as it is the SAME chemicals--no difference. *Folk need to understand that.

she said 20 weeks, and out the texturised wherever your natural hair goes up to

Start with 5months and then gradually change to 6 and then 7 months

Bilkisu Tijani Isah try texlaxing and deep condition with heat once a week

@@IfyOkoye how do you deep condition with heat? Do you mean steaming your hair weekly?

Didi Agu yes steaming your hair weekly to help revive and strengthen it.

Well first u need to get to the root of why yr hair is weak and thinning. Get a check up. Find out whats going on inside yr body. That's first

Go to a professional hair stylist..🙏🏼

absolutely

A relaxer is the same chemical. The *SAME* chemical. Tex-lax is just a new age term meaning the same as a 'Texturizer' (which , again, is the *same chemical* as a relaxer, but marketed differently.) One can texturize their hair WITH a RELAXER. On the other hand, one can get bone straight hair using a 'Texturizer or Tex-Lax box'.. *It all has to do with the length and smoothing of how its APPLIED.* ****Just wanted to bring clarity with this confusion I've seen over social media concerning this.***** ♥ ♥ peace n love
