Texlaxed

I did a self-relaxer (texturized) with ORS Olive Oil relaxer and rinse out before the required time.

I just wanted to avoid over-processing (frying-ha what we called it in secondary school) my fragile hair and limit the damage. I had some backup neutralizing shampoo (in addition to the little sachet shampoo in the kit) so I shampooed 4 times- leaving the shampoo in for 2 minutes each time before rinsing.

I deep conditioned with the ORS Pak for protein and did a ACV rinse (Apple Cide Vinegar) afterwards. I air dried overnight. I actually don't own a dryer at the moment (I plan to keep air drying anyway). Neither do I own a flat iron- because I just moved and threw away all my old tools while packing. Away with the old!

So I have to get a flat iron or something. Anyway, this is what it looked like after deep conditioning.

looser curls, not too fried

bantu knots

I actually detangled my hair in preparation for texlaxing and decided to part my hair and do bantu knots to prevent tangling. I hate to detangle new growth- my arms- oh lawdy!

6 months of not relaxing

Texlax

I faced my 'demons' and decided going natural was to drastic and wasn't me at all.

So I'm texlaxing using Jenny of JustGrowAlready's method.

Now if I can find a relaxer in Utah....
