I’m with you! I’ve been completely natural for 10 years and 2024 is bringing me a relaxer because I’m TIRED!

I made 10 years, this past December. I’ve had about 7 different setbacks in that time but I’m almost at waist length. The thing is though, when it comes to my hair, I’m miserable and the thought of styling & detangling it makes me sad. I realize that I have a hatred for my hair due to the effort it requires. I too am ready to texlax!

I just texturized my hair after 10 years natural & I’m about to rinse out the deep conditioner now 🎉 so excited to see the results 🎉❤🎉

This was totally me 3weeks ago and I’m so happy I did this I haven’t worn my hair out this much in over 10yrs it’s a freedom I love my styles hold better and late longer. I hope u have the same experience

Love your video❤ I think the reason it turned out more of a relaxer than texturizer is because you applied it to the roots first and other vids I’ve seen they always do the roots last because they process or straighten the fastest because of heat from your scalp. And also you didn’t apply as much to the ends which is why they still have a good curl, but overall if it’s more manageable for you 👏🏽it looks great!!

Your hair looks very beautiful and soft. Maybe next time you can use a base like vaseline and start from the back. The front of our hair is very fragile.

I think with a texturizer you are trying to loosen the curl pattern . A texturizer has the same chemicals as a perm. I think it turned out like a perm for two reasons. 1. You applied just like a perm, all over. 2. The time you let it stay on. 3. Combing through. To make it manageable it should not be on your whole head. Like for instance I’m natural now. I cut my hair short and started using curly hair products. I’m about to use perm, but only to loosen the pattern on my edges and on my frizz areas only. It will only remain for maybe 5-7 minutes because I don’t want it straightened. Just more manageable. My hair is very thick. I would classify it as 4C. Also one side of my hair in the front is thick than the other. I’ve also seen texturizer like sparingly on hair throughout. So, for instance, if you grabbed a small grouped strands and lightly put the perm on just a small group downwards. Same for the rest.

A texturizer is a relaxer. Hope it goes well, anything you do to your hair requires that you take good care of it, wash and condition it regularly.

Awww! Your babies are beautiful. Hair results were very nice.

Yup it’s been 10 years since I’ve had a relaxer and want to try a texturizer to help style hair you’re video so helpful 😊😊

Your results look great straight roots and the rest of your hair still has volume / curl 😊❤

So beautiful how you interacted with your kids😢❤

Awe❤❤❤beautiful babies

Ade I love this video, your kids are so beautiful God bless them 🙏🏾Your hair was beautiful before and after, very thick n healthy but the end result blew me away, very stunning More videos like this please ❤ ps: I'm also sick of the lace closures 😅

The end result is beautiful.

Your babies are beautiful!

Your mini’s😍❤️😍

Ade!!!!! Omgeee this is(was) me!! Natural for 11 years and got a texturizer.

I’m about to try it my hair has gotten really thick to the point the only style I can wear is a pony tail or braids

Beautiful children ❤

Nice to find your channel and happy holidays. I decided to do a keratin treatment. I still consider myself 'natural' since it didn't get rid of my coils, just made them a little less tight and my cuticles more soft/smooth. I have been wearing my same braidout/bantuknot-out styles, just so much quicker to do. I used Answr keratin treatment and it didn't even burn my scalp any. Did you consider an at home keratin vs the texture release? Did you want a looser coil than you can get with the non-formaldehyde keratin products?

So wait...it was nice and thick before, but you only wore wigs or did other natural styles just not turn out? Would have loved to see what a braidout or twist out could have looked like before and after. Are you finding yourself wearing your hair out more now or did you revert back to wigs? Loved the final look.

It does look more manageable...and it does kinda remind me of a relaxer on virgin hair, the only difference is it doesn't go over all the hair including the ends...but it looks good

Me taking out my braids about to do the samee thing 😂😂 my hairdresser always got me the kids version so that's what imma do, after years of being natural.

Great video and i am moving in that direction. My 4C is alot of work

I love the way the S curl looked on your hairi'd like to hair better with the s curl before you put the weave on it but it's your hair you do you but I love your hair after the s curl and before the weave.

Ade, they are beautiful ❤❤❤❤hi

I've been natural for 15 years through multiple cuts and colors, locs, braids...I'm debating going back to a relaxer or an alternative since I've taken care of my hair less as a natural than I did when I was relaxed and found my hair grew quicker, thicker and longer but I'm so torn on giving up my curls! But, I have noticed my hair feels alot softer and keeps my curls after coloring. I've never tried a texturizer so I'm like hmmm should I try this instead of going back to a relaxer for a 90's pixie cut since I know a blow out won't last, I'm too active and sweat too much during the summer for it to last.

Them scalp burns ain't no joke😂😂😂I base my scalp and I use my hands and that dye brush as well

Omg I am sick of closures too. Great video

Question: is it possible to do braids kf you relax the hair?

I’m having my baby girl next week and then I’m texlaxing my hair. I just don’t have the time to deal with my natural hair anymore 😂

Hey Ade❤

Listen, I truly understand... My daughter and some of my family members went natural....and half of them are back relaxed...I have been relaxed for years and it works well for me

I just did mine yesterday and it was horrible. Hair fell out and burned my four head smh

Hate perm burns and burned hair with heat appliances.

You looked a little irritated around the edges prior to starting which is why you probably started burning so quickly. Should’ve done perimeter last.

I don’t have 4c or 4d hair. But I wish women with tighter and less curl defined hair can really learn to embrace your natural hair.
