- Hey loves! END OF THE VIDEO HAS BEFORE AND AFTER PICS!!!!! This video was not to encourage self hate or to shame 4c hair. It simply just didn’t work for me but I still wanted curls. This method gave me the perfect medium, I have hair that I can maintain along with soft manageable curls and I love it. I know being natural ( no chemically process hair) is a big statues ppl like to uphold these days but if it doesn’t work for you it just doesn’t work. To my 4c sisters who are struggling to actually wearing you hair everyday but still want all your curls I will suggest this method over other chemically hair process. Don’t come for me natural gang😂 I love US for real❤️
UPDATE!!! Tex lax touch up video 👇🏾

Soooo I did it a month ago because of this video. I have no regrets, I wish I would have done this years ago. I can actually wash and style my hair now and still enjoy my days. Like I used to dread washing my hair, detangling etc. It would take an entire weekend to get through my 4xyz hair. I was turning into a scarf bum and not looking like anything. Now I literally feel better about myself and can maintain my curls. I love it. Don’t beat yourselves up girls ❤️
Omg I love this 💕 💕 yess still having your texture and being able to manage it finally is an amazing feeling ☺️☺️☺️☺️
It’s Lesha Yesss I’m so happy for us 😊
😭😭 I’m so exhausted and now I feel crappy coz I just hate dealing with it. I have 4c hair too. In the next 5 days I’ll be texlaxed.
Manthoba Judith Rammutlanyana I feel you girl. You won’t regret it, trust me.
Manthoba Judith Rammutlanyana how’d it go?❤️
I UNDERSTAND!!!! 4z here (My hair made up its own category) You can blow dry my hair and then in 5 minutes it shrinks back UP. I understand woman I understand!
Update since post-8 months going on a perm. This is after being natural for over 18 years before it was popular. I’ve simply transferred The TLC I gave my curls to my straight hair (protective styles, moisturizer, trim, etc) and it’s healthy and growing fast! I even have my edges lol. It was a tough decision but now I can do both sleek styles and natural styles, and everything in between. Grooming is so much easier for me now without the constant tangles. Good Hair care is #1 no matter the texture and my natural hair taught me that. I LOVE my “4z” curls but sista needed a break. Do what you feel best ladies.
Same!! It’s so annoying.. I’ve wanted to get a silk press for so long.. but I know it would be a wast of money as my hair reverts to its natural state so easily 🙄
shanice walters Had it done before a couple of time. Even with heat protectant, it might change your curl patterns (damage it) a little. I get 4 to 5 days top with my texture.
Iknr.....reason am doing wave nouveau perm after 2.5 years natural. Love my 4c but the shrinkage has thrown me off y'all
Exactly mine is 4z too and I’m over it man. I can only comb it one way which includes lots of gorilla snot and and got 2b glued gel, braids only last me 2 weeks plus it expensive to get done. If I don’t gel it down or braid it then I’m running to my mama to give me prison cornrows so Texas here I go.
I’ve been seeing a lot of videos of women texlaxing their hair and having to explain themselves so so soooo much for what they are doing. gurlllsss you don’t have to explain anything. You should do what you want to your hair without having to explain yourselves as long as you have healthy hair and you are happy then you can do as you please. I have natural hair and I love my natural hair but hey I might texlax it, just like I braid it, crochet it and whatever. Do as you please and be happy ladies!!
I agree. I've been natural since 2012. I texlaxed last week and i am loving it. Whatever you do that's comfortable and cute for you ..do it! Its just hair.
Success! I just followed your routine to make my 4a/4b hair looser. I just came out of the shower 20mins ago! I added conditioner to the mixture and also added a glug of olive oil and left it on for exactly 10 minutes (including application time) and it took my hair to a 3b. It came out perfectly! Thank you so much!
Yayyyy
Yes! Cause I did for 6 and that was enough for me and mines was 4c tightttt! Always knotting because of the course. It’s really soft too. I love it. I could cry cause this journey has been hell. 4c girls have it the hardest cause our shrinkage is crazy.
This came out so well, the curls are beautiful and I like how they hang too😍😍🤩🤩. Thanks for the half and half technique when applying the texturizer.. it’s very useful 🤗. Trust me I understand the 4c hair struggle cause I have 4c natural hair too, big hug to all my 4c hair sis and bros🤗🤗🤗
❤️❤️❤️
This is the best thing I did to my hair. Thank you so much. As long as you TAKE care of your hair and refrain from heat your hair will be fine (for ppl who wanna do this). Thank you so much girl again ❤️❤️❤️
Yes I agree I wouldn’t change the decision for nothing I love it 🤗
I wanna do this but I’m not sure 😭 what product should I use?
I'm 4C waist length hair and I think I might texlax because my shrinkage is stupid as hell. You results are gorgeousssssssssssssss #obsessed
Thanks love !!! If your waist length yu might wanna get help Bc that’s going to take some time to get all parts of your hair and you don’t want to over process ( just a suggestion)
@@itslesha1874 Such great advice; thanks!
shrinkage is a pain extra anouing when im trying to style my hair
Just an FYI: Always apply the chemical to the root area last. Why?.. Because it processes there way quicker due to the heat from the scalp, n ya don't wanna risk over processing or having the 'poodle affect' (hair at the root straight and the rest curly).
ruth robert no. Ends are first.
@@TiaLoveex3 Hi! Its make since. If i have to apply and leave the relaxer for a total of 8 min, how long before washing it can i apply it to the roots? Thank you
T G I have the poodle effect going on 😬 I’m highly upset because the roots of my hair is straight the rest is curly. It looks so stupid but lol
Thank you for this......Im thinking about doing this because my roots are unmanagable. I would like to keep some curls though
Makes sense, thank you ❤️
This video really touches me cause I also was not ready for what came out my scalp. I just watched your updated touch up, this is beautiful. Look how happy and relived you are!
Yasssss it’s so much easier I love it !!! When I went natural I was not prepared for that type of hair 😂😂😂😂
Can’t wait to do this, been thinking about this for a few months now, been natural for nearly 11 years now and learned soo much about caring for my very thick full 4C hair, I’m soo ready to be able to the washing, conditioning and treating my hair in a matter of hours as oppose to it spanning over a full weekend in stages, i.e, taking out plats, detangle, puts in to twists, wash, condition, treat, wash out again, LCO, style or plat etc it’s exhausting to say the least 🥱 definitely will have a lot more time on my hands 🤣🤣
Love it 💜 my cousin let it stay on her hair for 5 minutes and it turned out lovely, she's very satisfied 😊 great video and yes natural hair lol 😆 will wear u out.
This was the one! I’m so over my hair! I cut it off! I did so much to it because it’s unmanageable!!! I’m buying this texturizer TONIGHT
Girl the best decision I ever made
It’s Lesha have you done a touch up yet? I’m so excited to see how my hair comes out
Yes twice I only did my roots so it still look the same I love it
Thanks for this video! I'm also 4c hair and I was getting tired of my hair. I'm texlaxed and happy.
It’s the best!❤️
I characterize my hair as a 5...new level. Your results are awesome. I am thinking about doing this. When you said you were unable to even part your hair I felt that. For me there is no such thing as detangling. Trying to only made it larger and more tangled. I may try a tex lax. I have been natural for 6-7 years and love it but dont love the unmanageable nature at all.
Yes ma’am I love it! When I drop this baby I think this is my next move! When I relax it’s looks too thin, I love the full look but yet being able to feel your scalp 😍
Yes my favorite part is feeling my scalp again but still having my thickness
Gurl me 2🙋🏾♀️😂
You said it perfectly...'I was not ready for what was coming out of my head '
Neither am I! ....and I'm in Utah 👌🏽
You talked me into the texturizer.
You dont need to explain yourself so much its your hair do what you want.💘 came out great btw...how is it holding moisture. Is there breakage
Thanks love! The hair is holding moisture sooo good still very soft no breakage I’m loving my hair 😍
Please provide a description of the products used; I looked all over TH-cam and your results are truly the best. Gorgeous; would love to know the products to recreate this
i texlaxed my hair in March & we have the same texture now !!!! It’s so beautiful ! Subscribed ☺️💕💕💕
Don’t you love it!!
It’s Lesha girl YES i can part my hair & slick it down or up in less than an hour ! also wash & gos 😭🙌🙌 I’m never going back !!!! 🤣🤣
Never going back either sis best decision!
Im about to do this. I'm sick of wearing my hair in a bun. I dread wash day cause detangleling my coils is a nightmare and the doble knots are annoying so im def doing this.
Thiiiiis. This is a video I needed to see and I'm glad I did. I decided to wear my natural hair for a bit this week. At work, people were surprised cause I wear wigs all the time. I can't with my hair....I just cant. I can't part it. Its hard to comb and overall annoying when I do wash it. I have overly thick, longer than normal 4c hair on top and then a weird looser curl pattern underneath. . I call my hair Brillo pad hair. I've been thinking about doing this so it's more manageable.
Girl this sounds exactly like my hair trust me it makes your hair so much manageable I love it here lol!
I did this a month ago and I looove it. No regrets. My hair was the same and I dreaded having to deal with it. Now I can maintain my curls easily and actually take care of my hair. Go for it girl.
Beautiful results. You do what's best for you Sis.
Thank you ☺️🤗
I just wanna say thanks. I’ve adopted my niece and her hair is similar to yours. Most videos had people using those gloves and I didn’t wanna burn her or hurt her.
Don’t do it to that baby!!! Too many chemicals
All your baby hair needs to detangle is coconut oil and water and a spray bottle...and keep her hair in big plaits or coils to stay detangled...hope this helps and yes we still use grease🤣🤣...we in da islands
The before and after is insane 🥰
I am happy I came across your video! I am about 5 1/2 years natural....and I just can't deal!!!! I mostly wear weaves because my hair is so matted, dry and hard to detangle. So I will be trying this! Thank you!
I just redid it last night again and I’m still in love go for it!
I'm getting mine done tomorrow and I'm so excited!
how’d it go?
Nawal Bakri it went well! She used the Mizani brand and rinsed it out as soon as she put it in. I went from 4B to a 3C/4A texture. My hair also performs much much better with heat now. The Mizani is technically a relaxer but I think because of the short amount of time (literally one minute each section) it gave a texturizing effect
Sis your hair is beautiful and full
Be bold to go out with it
Thanks for sharing
I have been lately thank you!❤️
It turned out great and looks great✨😊✨👍
Thank you!
So happy to see an upload from you. Keep it up beautiful!!! 🥰❤️
Your hair looks amazing!! I feel that you spent a lot of time justifying your decision. Don't. It's your life and your hair.
Thank you 😊
I love my natural hair and continue to remain natural. Kinky, coily, afro hair is very versatile, you can do two strand twist, canrow, wash ang go, braids, twist out, braid out. Buns, flat twist.
I understand why some of us are returning back to relax/texlax Do whats best for you. It is your hair, your choice!.
Wish you all ladies on your texlax/relaxer journey. 😊
💚❤beautiful hair! Both natural and texturized.
Everything you said is exactly what I go thru. Ppl think I be playing when I say dealing with my hair literally gives me anxiety and stresses me out 😭😭 I want to try this because I plan on doing the big chop next spring and I want to try to explore with it before its gone! ur results are soo pretty
Girl yass!!! I’m like hair is not suppose to be this stressful 😩 hopefully you love your results as well!!!!
best one i’ve seen yet!
This was a great honest video thanks sis!! 🖤
Your hair is beautiful regardless with or without that, but it's what makes you happy and you look happier! 😁🙌🏼
I'm not 4c and could care less about a hair type "beauty is more than skin deep."
Thanks babe 🥰
Looking forward to new texlaxed styles.
👍🏽The struggle is real. And Thank you very much.
Your hair looks great! I want to do that to my hair. Thanks for sharing.
I look at it like this: ain't nobody gonna come help detangle this hair, so we gotta do what we gotta do!
I have 3C, super tangled hair & it's so wiry! It might as well be 4C because because it takes so much to show off the curl pattern. I have to slather on so much product and my hair is so stubborn!Detangling actually gives me headaches! I can detangle in the morning and it tangles right back up in less than 2 days! So, I've decided that I'm doing a Tex-Lax later today!!! I haven't relaxed since Sept/Oct 2013. When my hair was relaxed, it always curled back up in the neutralizing phase! My former cosmetology instructor analyzed my hair for me as "resistant curly", which ends up looking like a loose Jheri Curl. I've been thinking about doing this for a few months now. 2020 has changed my views on so many things! I wanted to wait an even 7 yrs before taking the plunge! It's 10.1.2020 & I'm ready to bid 2 hr detangling sessions farewell! 😁
Great video! I think that people texturizing their hair is more common than we think. Or I could be wrong.
Looks really good you did an awesome job❤️
Thank you! 🤗
Well back in the day Just For Me was my perm so I guess I was getting a tex lax and didn't know it but it made my sides weak and nap weak but that was sooooo long ago
Sis always been a boss in the hair world!
Hi 🙋🏾♀️. Thanks for the tutorial. Do you still like the result? Any regrets? Im thinking about texturizing my 4c hair also
I still love it I did another one recently and I love it the same with be doing a update video soon
@@itslesha1874 Great. I'll check on it.
hickey waiting on your update so i can textlaxed my hair
theses companies are getting greedy. one box use to be able to cover one head. so they know they would have to wait 3 months before one buys their product again. so the decreased the amount of product in order for one to pickup 2 boxes so it can even out their profits.
Well I have a really big head and a lot of hair and didn’t want to chance it lol😂😂 I had a lot left over so one will be plenty especially for someone who is doing a touch up I bought two jus to be on the safe side since I was doing my whole head root to tip
Sis I overstand.. great results
I know exactly how you feel. I originally went natural simply because I went to a beautician and my hair started to fall out but before that it was long and healthy. I cut off all my strands and decided to just stay natural. Since going natural I've only worn my hair out twice and those 2 times it was a struggle! My hair is extremely thick and if you try to put heat to it its like it doesn't understand heat. I've been considering texlaxing instead of relaxing because I too want my curl pattern and it requires waaay less products. Thanks for the video.
Does hair grow with textlaxed hair ?
Yes it does. I have been texlaxing for years. The new growth will be your natural curl pattern until you apply the texturizer again which should be ~ every 3-6 months depending on your hair. Just make sure to moisturize, set up a wash & go regimen, and trim/cut hair regularly.
I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out due to all of the smacking. BUT...IT TURNED OUT BEAUTIFULLY Question: How does it look once it's completely dried?
It looks like the end the video I like it
Hopefully you answer , I want to do this as soon as I take out my braids do you have any tips for me . Should I wash my hair before putting this in bc the build up from the braids or should I just use what they provided me with please answer .
No don’t wash first at least I didn’t I had jus taking out braids as well .just make sure you fully detangle all your hair love
Omg i love the results 😍😍!! I’m other natural hair as well... to much work. Do you think I will need two boxes ? My hair is a bit longer than yours
Yes get two boxes jus in case you don’t wanna run out and half your hair is processed and the other half isn’t 🥴 ... good luck!
omfgggg love this
Thanks love!
That’s it I’m doing this , this week
I like how you did one section first... im soo scared 😳😳
Crew love !!!
Wow this is BEAUTIFUL 😍😍😍😍
Love the results!
ancestors didnt live in Ohio😂😂your killed me
Great video! Very informative . Im strongly debating
Thank you
When this texturizer grows out does it turn straight at the end like a perm?
CC's World2.0 What? No
I live in Ohio too and the humidity is crazy!
I'm born and raised in Ohio but I live in Texas imagine my struggles. I'm so over my natural i have tight coils. I'm 3rs in but this technique might just help.
Please be happy with your texlaxed hair because if your 4c hair was breaking while you were a natural no matter what you did to avoid breakage. The texturizer was for you but after repeated touch ups will your hair become damaged? My hair was damaged after two years of relaxers of going to the hair salon. Being natural is not for everyone. You might be one of the few women that can take hair relaxers. Good luck with your texlaxed hair and you seem to be very happy with your hair. So that is all what matters.
Hey I want to also get my hair texturized because my hair is so thick its type 3 texture but it’s hard to manage and my curls only show up when they want so I’m getting it done tomorrow 🥰. my mom didn’t want me to but we had a talk so it’s fine now.
Love it!!
It looks AMAZING...how is it holding up and does it still feel moistutized?
My hair is reverting a little bit but it’s it’s still soft and still very manageable. It’s holding moisture a lot better now
Her : wonder why her hair is growing so fast cause she trims it
Me : laughing inside cause triming increase the rate of hair growth 😂
BEAUTIFUL,,,,,
Dammmmmmmmmm, how you can let that permed hair sit on your face like that. It’s pretty !
I'm going to try to have a looser texture using henna because I don't want to use chemicals that permanently change my texture
💦💦 I'm buying this tomorrow. Been natural for yrs, but due to health issues, the texture changed for the worst. I recently tried a popular product line to condition my hair. I thought it would help but it made it sooo much worst. I'm so done. I've done my research so this product will be my last resort. Hopefully, it will help to soften my shoulder length hair. If not, shaving head.-(
Ouuu girl no! dont shave your head now 😩😂😂😂 let me know how your Tex lax goes I love mine 🤗
what tex mix did you use like the brand
What's up with wetting hair before processing it?
That is the only way I can part my hair
❤️
I tried textlaxing. My hair wouldn’t stop breaking off. I had to do a corrective relaxer and relaxed my hair bone straight. My hair either loves kinky or straight, no in between.
How long did leave it on your hair?
Like 8 min if it’s the first time
@@itslesha1874 so What happend if longer time? Do the hair became relaxed?
What text-lax product did you use ?
Just for me. And I added some things in
How long did you leave the texturizer on there for ?
Took three min to apply I left it on there for 5 mins so 8 in total
Would it be bad if I add gel to telaxed hair?! I’m so tired of this 4z hair 😂
What telaxer did u use? I’m lazy and I skip to the end 😭❤️
@@Jessica-vs1nr she used just for me
So did you apply it to the front wash it out then apply it to the back and then was it out sorry if my question is confusing I want to do this to my hair
Yes I did my front first Bc I didn want to over process my hair, my hair is really thick and I didn’t know how fast I would move. Most ppl can do it all at once but this was my first tome and my hair is really thick so I didn’t want to chance it
Alesha Noble okay thank you I’m definitely going to try it this way😊
Good luck girl I love my results
nexf time do the roots last they process faster , please use gloves and as a person of the 4a community these curls are also time consuming great job tho i was shooketh by how great they look
Love the results
Can you do an updated video
hey please respond to me wen u can. how is ur hair now after having it in for 2 months now? is it still soft and manageable im about to do mines right now
Still manageable still soft I’m bout to do another one this week Bc my hair needs another one
@@itslesha1874 i made a bigg mistake n left it on too long n now my curls are completely gone. will i have to cut my hair or will it come back??
It may revert back in not sure
@@mimi-xq3jf how long did you leave it on?
@@francescaackah5435 15 minutes
Hi! How long did you leave it in for each section?
8 mins for my whole head
Okay, you said 8 minutes for your entire head, so does that mean that you left the product on EACH SECTION for 4 minutes? Your hair came out very nice, I want to texlax as well and wish to know the minutes per section that you used. Thanks and God bless.
LadyJacqueline07 in the video I only did two sections so I wouldn’t over process it took bout 3 min to apply and waited 8 min
Stay on top of uour weekly deep cond
I have 4c hair... but your before texture looks looser than mine
Trust me when it’s fully dry the coils are so tight
@@itslesha1874 yeah when my hairs wet it looks so soft and loose and etty but when it dries... OH HELL NAWWWW!!
May I ask.. What was your hair's porosity when natural ?
No my hair was dry and brittle I could put a whole bottle of moisture in it and nothing but now it’s wayyy softer and holds moisture nicely
@@itslesha1874 I was asking you what your hair's porosity was? was high, low, .....
@@itslesha1874 Are u familiar with the porosity of hair?
I just explained to my hair did not hold moisture before product would jus sit on top of my hair now it doesn’t
So it was low now it’s not
i hope you answer. how long do these last ?? is bad to do it over and over ?
Mine lasted 3 months I just redid mine and I still live it
Hi@@itslesha1874 !
Did you redid it to your all hair or just retouch it?
Mitchy Neptune hey love just the roots
Maybe you said this and I missed it, Im sorry, how often do you need a touchup??????
I didn’t but Every 6 to 8 weeks. I just uploaded a touch up video with more information love ❤️
@@itslesha1874 Thanks
My hair is 3c/4A .. wondering if I shshould do this?? My shrinkage is about 70% and I hate it
I would only suggest this to 4c hair
@@itslesha1874 thank you for actually replying!!
Babe I have 4a /3c and I would recommend you do it but get someone to help you process one side whilst you do the other and also I’d recommend you don’t leave it in for 12 minutes as it can end up wavy and not curly
How many boxes did you use
7
So often you plan to do this ?
Every 3/4 months
Do what's best for you pretty girl
🤯🥰🤯🥰🤯🥰🤯🤯😘
Basically trying to explain why you screwed up your hair it’s called oil moisture and a good blow dryer
Cool
❤️
