| Bantu knots on stretched texlaxed hair |
A: You're right. Sometimes, it feels counter productive. It can be hard to control frizz, you'll encounter some wicked SSKs, and sleek straight hair can require just a tad bit more maintenance than a bone straight relaxed chica. It takes trial-and-error to process your desired texture and just one bone straight relaxer touch up can throw you off. But honestly, right now, my texlaxed hair works for me. I like that my hair is easier to detangle, thicker root to end, and more voluminous. I feel like I have the best of both worlds. If I was completely natural, I'm certain that I would always wear my hair stretched, never in a puff, and at least 90% in an updo (I just get annoyed too easily when my hair is in my way. Ha-ha!). Texlaxing allows me to get the "stretched natural" hair look in half the time or effort that it would take if I didn't relax.
Thanks for the questions and keep them coming!
Do you feel that texlaxing is counterproductive?
Besitos!

I never looked at texlaxing as counter-productive...it's just like a normal relaxer, that you choose to cut the processing time to whatever you want. I think it's a matter of preference. I used to like bone straight, now it is just not for me. I love some texture!

I used to texlax and my hair flourished to great lengths.
DeleteThanks for your comments Aku and Alx!
DeleteI agree KLP! If I were natural I would prefer to wear my hair stretched as well. I prefer to see my length. I also love the thickness, but I do sometimes miss my wet wraps with my bone straight hair.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that I'm not the only one Andrea!
