Has anyone else been procrastinating on washing their hair and thinking of just getting a texturizer or straight up relaxing it?
I'm sitting here with an itchy scalp. 😭
😭 😭 😭
GIRLLL me too 😭😭
Right now
HELLOOOOOOOO!!!💆🏿♀️
Not relaxing, but definitely looking at that texturizer like 😏.
I’m 100% natural but I definitely understand why people texturize their hair, I don’t see what’s the big deal. Curls are popping though 😍
Thanks love!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Most angry people are rubber hair vendors, imagine just perming your hair and it's gonna last for 6good months. They're not gonna get paid
I feel like it relaxed my hair! Lol curls are definitely looser but my hair is cut short right now. I would love too see these results with longer hair. Your hair looks beautiful!
I too lost the natural battle but feel as if I won the war with my hair after I texlaxed last night!!! my hair just felt healthier and easier to manage. I have been natural since 2010 but due to my stylist putting too much heat in my hair I had severe heat damage on my ends and they looked relaxed. I watched like a million videos the week prior (not literally) and received so many tips. I used Silk Elements lye regular w/ Shea and I mixed ORS conditioner and olive oil in my relaxer. I put olive oil and conditioner on my straight ends and sectioned each section in thirds twisting the hair I didn't want relaxed so I knew where to stop the relaxer on my hair shaft. I based the hell outta my scalp with motions relaxer base and put vaseline all over my face neck and back!!! Lol I didn't want to take any chances!!! I relaxed the back first and washed it out in 10 min. I was scared to reconstruct before neutralizing so I washed with the neutralizer twice 1st then applied the Apoghee 2 min reconstructor, rinsed, neutralized again until suds were white, then added more reconstructor and let it sit while I relaxed the front. I did the same thing to the front and let the 2 min sit for 5 mins before rinsing it all out. The textured pattern came out perfect!!!!! I mixed the silk elements conditioner mayonnaise and shea moisture deep condition mask and put all this in my hair and twisted 3 sections and left in overnight under condition cap. during the entire process I did not comb or brush my hair while wet to keep from pulling it in its newly texlaxed state. in the morning I will rinse out and use Herbal Essence Hello Hydration to detangle and comb under running water. I know this is lengthy but I wanted to share some ideas used that make this process so easy being my 1st time. Thank you for your inspiring and extremely helpful video!!!!!
Sebena Smith ....omgosh....thank you....l cant take it no mo...4c hair is too time and prodduct consuming but l like the twist out look so l gonna like you did

thank you!! i did this last night and it was perfect
Funny how I came across your channel wondering if I should texturize my natural 4c hair! Thanks for sharing!
Sebena Smith omg thank you
You're gorgeous. Love the hair! Do what YOU want. It's your hair not everyone elses.
Thank you so much!!!
+Curly Monroe I'm thinking of of doing the same. mine is a major headache
I feel as if it's growing out of your head, it's natural 🤷🏽
ashley holloworth right
C RD natural hair is the hair that grows out of your head what are you tryna say
Maya yes I was confused because someone said not tampered with
@C RD if you wash your hair with shampoo or any other chemical then by your standards you're not natural. I bet you not washing your hair with rain water so stop
pretty Barbie is you wash your hair with shampoo the rinse it all out doesn’t that mean there are no chemicals
Girrlllll, I'm right after you! I'm thinking about doing this next year, when I hit my 4 year mark. Because this is too much. It's impossible to work with and no styles ever last. I've resorted to only wearing weaves and wigs. Can't wait to finally do this texturizer 😩 I just don't want it to get stringy 😭
I swear people in the comments stay being annoying!🙄
Lol I guess everyone's just got an opinion! LOL
Lol they do be annoying
yo the comments made me not wanna do nothing with my hair😔 dont dye it...dont texturize...dont perm it...no s curls...no jerry curls...cuz even though its my own hair growing out of my head, it wont be considered natural if I put a chemical in it...i dont like the natural hair community, sorry
Natural means natural as in not using chemical to change the hair's natural structure. Duh lol
@Faraji That makes no sense. If you put a chemical in your hair, it's not natural. It's not hypocritical for the natural hair community to say that, because it's true.
well, it wouldn't be natural anymore, but i think that's fine! i think the issue comes in when people start shaming other people about THEIR decision they made with THEIR own hair. like, the texlax definitely is not affecting you in anyway sis, i promise 💀 its not contagious, and you don't have to get one if you don't wanna
That's why I shaved off all my hair i like it short and it's easy to wash and go 🤷🏾♀️
Bhoni Art girl do whatever you want to your hair. They gonna talk shit regardless
Been using this for years and have been having great results my hair is bra strap and I just add all the sunflower oil then put olive oil or whatever oil on your own hair so u don’t over process. The conditioner too is very good I will use that! Thank you!
💛💛💛
I’ve been natural for a little under 8 years and I’m considering texlaxing. Was your hair already bsl prior or were you able to grow your hair to that length after? I’m apl right now but my goal is bsl and I’m hoping the texturizer or having looser roots can help me get there
@@moonhoneymami so my hair was at my nipps since i was a kid. however i cut my hair many times and i even cut my hair into a bob and it grew back to bsl when i made this comment. now my hair is over my boobs and i still texlax with just for me! i just do it 2-3x a year now !
YOU DON'T KNOW HOW HAPPY I AM THAT I FOUND THIS LIKE IM SO DONE WITH MY 4B/C HAIR THANK THE LORD
If you perm straighten or hot comb your hair ..its still natural hair...it's yours.
Your hair is not natural if it's permed.
That literally defeats the purpose of calling it natural. Permed hair is permed hair. Nothing wrong w it tho
Natural mean wash and go to be honest ..even if it is all yours ..wouldn't be natural with a perm.
And no one can tell me different!
It's not your natural texturer but it's still your natural hair if it's yours. My hair is fine and gets super loose just from stretching and wearing braids as if I texturized. So it's not natural now? Lol.
Watched this video last night woke up this morning and went straight to the beauty supply store 😂 I like the results so far; I still have shrinkage but not anywhere near what it was before. 👍🏽
I like how you added the conditioner to the texturizer I didn't know you could do that. Great tip.
I have 4c hair and I am doing this!!!
junisha Niclasse do a Vlog
Did you ever try this?
Me too
tell me the resultds
What happened? How did it go?
Looks natural to me. It's beautiful. Who cares if it's chemically processed?
im tired of all the breakage thats why i purchased a texture softener......
Back edges? Girl, that’s a kitchen.
😂😂Lol I know that I meant the the actual name... the nape is what I was trying to say 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 yesssss the true name for it lol
I did it! I think you and I have similar hair textures. I have very different curl patterns in front and back. but I went ahead and followed your method, including using the same product and adding my own conditioner to the mix. I left in for 12 minutes and not 10, and ended up with really good results!!! Thanks a lot again for posting.
+Michelle Genevieve no problem! I hope you like it!!!
Genevieve Michelle do you mind showing me your results, I have the same hair texture but my hair is too fine. I'm scared I'll have no volume in the end.
I telaxed my hair back in June and i regret it so much cause now i have my natural curl pattern coming back and when i wear my hair down its half 3c-4a half 3a-3b 🤦🏽♀️but I’m glad you’re happy it looked great !!
Ali_Star I just saw this but I’m actually trying to go natural that’s why
I just wanna say thank you so much! Just did this today and my hair came out exactly how I wanted thanks to your instructions!! Definitely subscribing :)
❤️❤️
I just did mines after 12 yrs of being natural. 4c hair and I'm over it. My scalp sensitive too
Are you happy you texlaxed? I'm thinking of it
@@yvonneige yes. Very happy. I still use the same routine I did when my hair was natural and I have not experienced any breakage. Only thing I miss (sometimes) is now thick my hair looked prior but I get over that real quick cause the maintenance is HEAVEN now
First of ALL🤣🤣 besides the bomb clothing hauls on your channel and good makeup a women went HAM in the comments on ppl commenting on this. Unless she come in your house and perm yours lol had me I had to subscribe 😂 love your army and your beautiful 💖 ✨ I'll have to texlax my hair tonight
😂😂😂😂😂 thank you!!!!!
I been doing this for years. People think I put a perm in ctfu.. Haters.. Looks good..
So I love this and thinking of doing this myself. Now all this fuss about chemicals! Well when you want to get your curls poppin the stuff we use has chemicals in them, right!? Just sayin
We dont know what natural is. It really is something untouched. So all of the so called naturals, who put so much of this and that (to condition, manage, tame, beautify or whatever we want to call it) in their hair; that is not natural. Why cant we just say stuff like permless or not relaxed so people can just realize that it is a choice or preference, not some immoral code to being a black person with hair. And I am without a perm or relaxer. But I realize either way that we all do toil over outter beauty to some degree and it's not always wrong.
beautiful results! i love using just for me to texlax my hair too!
Thank you! 😊
So i came across your video 2 years ago when I got frustrated with caring for my natural hair as wash day takes a whole day! I resisted the temptation then and just decided to try to get along with my hair. I'm now pregnant with triplets (after TTC for over 6 years! ) and was thinking of chopping off the whole hair then I remembered you! I'll go for the texlaxing first and see how it works out cos I ain't got time to be spending on natural hair anymore even though years ago when I went natural, i literally swore off chemicals for my hair.
Wish me luck
Triplets!?!?! Congrats sis! I just went back to texlax this year after having my second baby.
@@MekaMonroexo Thank you!Babies change one's whole life 😃
I'll definitely let you know how it turns out
I'm natural and love it but your hair your choice. It's turned out so cute and I'm happy you love it.
Thank you!!!
BEAUTIFUL...unfortunately, some get emotionally attached to a TH-camr hair, HUHHHHHH🤣🤣🌺
My hair texture changed. Couldn't figure out why cause I was religious with my deep conditioners when needed. Turned out I needed a protein treatment. My curls came back after using the Aphogee two step treatment.
Interesting maybe I should try a protein treatment!
Curly Monroe Look into it and see if you think it's right for you. I did one, LOVED the results, then repeated 6 weeks later. Everything in moderation. Good luck, beautiful!
Girl, I'm trying to tell you now I understand why you did the texturizer. I don't want to do my hair the struggle is real 😭😂
so realllll lolll
Phew, this had me so nervous. Usually when I see texlax videos the hair just looks stringy heat damaged hair, but your curls came out so cute! Honestly looking at your hair before the texlax, your curls are still loose enough that you probably didn't need to go to these extremes. A good deep condition, or the max hydration method would have made your hair more manageable to me. But either, this look is very cute!
I completely understand why she would texturize. I'm natural too and I've thought about doing it, but I have super sensitive skin and anything like that would make my hair fall out and burn my skin.
Looks great! My hair was looser/thinner than yours and I tried to texlax and ended up with like no curls. Broke my heart. I had to big chop and go natural again. Glad it worked out for you😊
Oh no!!! I wonder why? Would you ever try it again?
Curly Monroe It was probably a combo of my curl pattern and me not knowing what I was doing leaving it on too long😂 smh I'm just embracing the tight curl struggle nowadays. Thanks for sharing your experience!
I think your hair looked really good natural but I think it looks good texlaxed as well, as long as you like it than that's all that matters anyways, lol I hope that you have a great day 🙂
beautiful hair on a beautiful lady! I've been thinking about doing this bc my 4c hair is collarbone length but doesn't even reach my neck when natural! wish me luck!
Cocoa Butta Kisses my hair is armpit length but don't even hit below my ears in its natural form😫
NiaW Xoxo girl the shrinkage is no damn joke. I mean the best part is that shrinkage signifies healthy hair but still😭
The style at the end was cute
If you use the entire activator and "dilute " it wish conditioner, if you use the entire mixture then there was no dilution. It'll be the same amount of activator in the end
Ada Udaya no it won't
It slows the processing time so you have time to apply without overprocessing
I feel like IF I texturized my hair I’d use your technique! I like your application- not a lot of the relaxer used. Seems like it allows for better control. I’ve been “natural” nearly 30 years, my life has changed so much that I would like to loosen my curls for ease of manageability & maintenance! I’m hesitant to texturize my waist length hair, myself and & have “trust issues” regarding if a stylist would be able to texturize my hair to the desired texture.
You did it the correct way, a lot of people put it on their roots first not know that the roots process faster than the ends, your supposed to apply it to the tips first then the roots!!
Another good conditioner is the e'tae conditioner😏 but love these results😍
Girl I think I'm gonna try bc hell I need it more manageable period..forget the damn fad. I'm over here struggling hell..maybe not in top bc it's a looser curl pattern.
girl i feel u its hard but I'm never going back
That's cool! I want to try that. I have 4c hair and it's a pain when it shrinks into a tiny fro when I have long hair. I dont like my hair up in general. I might try this in the future
BEWARE of this method - unless you intend to continue chemically relaxing your hair, this method may result in an unintended "big chop"! I did this at the beginning of the summer and loved the results. However, 4-5 months later, my hair refused to return to "natural" evenly, became stringy on the ends and kept tangling and breaking, so I had to cut off inches.
Sapphire omg me too!! I did mine in June and i just cut all my hair off yesterday it was so long i miss it 😭🤦🏽♀️
Same thing happened to me. I texlaxed my natural hair and at first it was great but after about 8 months I went for a touch up and my new growth didn’t take as well as it did the first time. So my hair was so many different textures and it broke off soooooo badly I had to cut it off and start my hair journey over.
so you can’t do this only once? :(
So I’m black I’m a 4c guy I live in cold ass Alaska and I feel like as a man I can do whatever I want with my hair and no one comes at me crazy I think black women get attacked more about their hair(by each other) but my texture got thicker in my 20s and it’s been natural for the last 6 years and it breaks more natural than when I relaxed it especially when it got long and when I’m relaxed I still rock the same Afro ponytail it’s just easier and needs less product.
I’m definitely gonna try!!
Your curls was cute before & now lol ... I’m thinking about getting one cause this 4c hair not cutting it 😭😭😭
my hair isn’t even curly but i still use this because i am not good doing my own hair. so all y’all who say she’s shouldn’t do this to her hair, it’s not your hair she can do whatever she wants because it’s growing out of her head.
love it. great job hun
How long did you leave the texturizer in your hair before rinsing it out? It looks super nice!!
Not sure, I think I mention it in the video but this was so long ago... I think maybe 6 to 8 minutes? I went by the instruciton with a little less time
@@MekaMonroexo thank u you did a great job!! Beautiful!
The natural hair community also talks down on colored hair. I’ve bleached my hair and dyed it about five times over three years, now my hair is the same texture as texlaxed. Way more manageable.
El En Bee omg small world !! How I found you cousin ?!!
I already love my curl pattern but when it dries it puffs up. IDK what to do .. to texturize or just slap wigs on
Breona Hawkins I’m in this same position...like I have to really plan my day out depending on my hair...smh being natural is hard but I love it
Embrace it or slap some wigs on lolll!!
I used to use my blow dryer to stretch it and sometimes it also depends on your products!!!
Curly Monroe picking the right products is crazy too. There is so many options out there and some of them say it’s for natural hair but I KNOW they’re lying lol...I should just pick a product and stick with it because my hair sheds a lot.
So are you supposed to blow dry your hair first ? Or can you just texturize it on natural dry hair ? Because I think it makes a huge difference for the curl pattern
I don't understand why people think it takes forever to do hair. My wash and go's take an hour and a half, that includes drying (air dry) and diffusing. My twist outs are take longer because I have to wait all night for it to dry, but once it's dry boom. I just hate to see women texturize their hair because it's just a perm that isn't as strong. 😫😫😫 But it's your hair, if a professional says your hair is healthy after you do this that's great.
Your hair is so pretty! It kinda looks like Hair Mary's on YT if you know her.
Thank you! No, I didnt until now! I just searched her and I LOVE her hair!
Ermagerd, so pretty! Nice job! And love that you've still got so much texture!
+soccersprincess Thank youuuu!!!

How long did you leave it in for ? I loved the results😍
you are super duper pretty! inspired to texlax
Thank you!!!
Great video! What was your original hair texture?
Im not sure 😫😫
@@MekaMonroexo tf
Do you recommend this relaxer ? I want to try it out, but I was wondering if you had any complications after some time passed. Also, how long did you leave the relaxer in for ?
I felt everything she said in this video. That’s why I chopped mine into a chia pet looking length waiting to grow out what I might just be damage.
I feel like you didn't use enough. All the videos I saw they had so much texturizer you could see all the white. You barely put any in lol
Love love love. I have natural hair and I think I will texlax my natural hair. Thank you for the video. Good job 👍🏾 😘👏🏾👌🏾😍
love the makeup im a 30 year old and cant even blend i prefer a natural look can you do an tutorial for dummies
LOLLLLLL Im not the best at makeup either!
I like it. I'm thinking about doing my natural hair like this
Do it!
Going to do this tonight, Im over this natural life.
Your hair is gorgeous
Thank you!!
They don’t calll it creamy ‘crack’ for nothing. It takes a lifetime to get off. 😂
🤣🤣💯💯
The video was very good!😊
How long did you keep the relaxer on your hair? Maybe I missed that. Turned out very pretty
Not long maybe 6 minutes... went by the recommened directions but took out earlier because I was so scared lollll
Oommmmgggg,i looooooove d results,am transitioning n my hair is really acting up,al def try this this week n letchu know,thank you for this amazing video😘😘😘😘😘😘
Very nice results!! I would love to see you review Straight Silk Spray Heat Protectant by JuniorLabs. It really maintains my hair soft and silky 🔥
What was your curl pattern like before your texturizer?
Girl you are beautiful
Thank you!!!!
Lol, you're welcome. How often do you touch up and what was your curl pattern before texlaxing
mama nono to g
Without Texlaxing do you have 4c hair?
I'm so over my natural hair as well. I want to get myself a texturizer ad well. My hair is a bite longer tgan yours. Should i get two boxes of texturizer or do you think one will be enough?
update us with another video luv!!
I will be doing one soon!!
is texturizing damaging for natural hair?
Lolita Henderson it can be
girl, i'm on my way to do the same thing! great results
How much time you kept it in ?
I have suuuuuuuper thick hair I’ve been thinking about it but i went natural 2 years ago lol and i don’t want to just ruin it but i deffff understand why you would lol .
Dont do it! lol
cute! I texlaxed about 3 years ago. now I'm back natural
Thank you! I'm curious....What made you go back natural?
Curly Monroe I just needed more texture in my hair bc I accidentally completely straighten the back of my hair. I still have texturized ends but I'm letting them grow out bc im bra strap length now and trying to get to waist length. I'll be posting more videos of my hair and it's texture 😃
Just for me hair has a harsh chemical that they use to clean out drainage pipes in the kitchen. I'm not sure if they took it out by now but just be aware and careful of that.
I love this ❤️❤️❤️ I want to try this.
Hey Sis, how long did you leave the texturizer in your hair? Tx Very good video.
How long did you leave it in? I want to do this to the front of my hair it’s completely 3c and the back is 3b 😕
What was her Hair type before if you don't mind me asking
Im not sure... I think 4b-c?
Your hair is beautiful ❤️
so conditioner dilutes the relaxer for texturizing?
My mom did this for me and half my hair was straight and the other was still a afro ..... never again and you know what she told me instead of fixing it... "at least you will be using half of the gel you did before"
How London should u leave the texlaxer in for before u rinse it out
I live in Colorado and experienced the same issue.. Very dry climate...
You did great!
Thank you!
how many minutes did u leave the relaxer in ?
Love love love the idea
You did a great job. Any dryness so far??
Not yet. I have been deep conditioning and LOC'ing regularly.
AFRICANwithCURLS wdym dryness cos last time I checked my 4c natural hair is always DRY
you did it really good
Thank you!!!
Looks great!
How long did you keep the perm on for?
Did you leave it in according to the box or just as you get it to a certain texture?
DRW 45 texlaxing is just like applying a relaxer but you rinse it and wash it out earlier so the curl pattern relaxes or stretches but does not become straight.
I followed the box maybe even a little quicker
That is FALSE information. That's why so many are complaining afterwards about it getting damaged or too straight. You do NOT apply it 'just like' a relaxer. Meaning u do NOT SMOOTH it. If u do yr hair will get straight as u are 'smoothing' out n 'relaxing' the curls/coils ( whichever u have). Sm1 said do not comb it. Thats also FALSE. U ARE TO slowly comb thru with a wide tooth comb to loosen the coil THEN wash out n proceed to the next steps. 💚🌻God Bless
T G can u detangle with fingers like rake it?
