i want to tex laxe the new growth of my relaxed ha

I've never transitioned so I can't be much help but there are probably going to be challenges dealing with more than one texture. Plenty of ladies have managed to master that so I am sure that you will find plenty of info, probably on the natural hair care forum.

As for how to texlax, check out the how to texturize with a relaxer thread. I will bump it for you.

bump!

i want to know.

I am in the same camp as natie where i was able to grow and keep straight, limp, overprocessed hair.

I want to keep my growth but my new growth is becoming unmanageable!

would it be crazy to texlax or lightly relax the new growth for styling ease?

the rigours of styling my natural new growth is breaking off my ends and my damn nerves! haha

you know after some though and consideration, i chopped off my measly few inches of damaged relaxed hair and decided to go all natural.

there are a few uneven slightly relaxed ends left, but with some scrunching, you can hardly tell the texture difference.

i was tempted to get the texturizer, but then realised that i wanted to enjoy my natural curl pattern a little longer. apparently  i can always loosen it naturally  and less permanently with things like henna and baking soda . i want to give that stuff a try before i decide to change my unique hair texture permanently!


i hope my own experience ( or non experience i guess) can help other transtitioner make a decision on whether to tex lax or not!
