What is your texlaxing process ?
To be honest I don't do anything different than before.... I don't mix anything in my relaxers like some... Before texlaxing I would use Silk Element Regular Lye Relaxer for 20 mins.... Now to texlax I use Silk Elemnts Mild Lye Relaxer for 15 mins... All I did was use a milder relaxer and leave it on a shorter period of time... Thats it nice and simple !!!
How do you take care of your color and relaxer to prevent breakage ?
I make sure that I use protein 1x a week to keep my hair strong and healthy... I usually deep condition with Aphogee 2min reconstructor then follow up with Bee U ti ful deep conditioner... Or I just mix Amino acids into my moisturizing conditioner... I also make sure I moisturize every night... I stay away from sulfates and alcohol in my shampoo's to prevent fading ... I also put my shampoo in a applicator bottle and concentrate on cleaning the scalp... I make sure I that I close the hair cuticle after washing by a cold rinse when rinsing out my conditioners..ACV rinse works great also
Are still doing Black Tea Rinses ?
No... After I got my shedding under control I stopped... I keep saying I'm going to start back for all the benefits ...
Can you please share what foundation and concealer you use ?
My favorite is MAC studio sculpt SPF 15 w/ Mac Studio fix powder.. Next favorite is Maybelline SuperStay liquid Foundation and powder ..
I don't use concealer...

Thanks for sharing! I was just wondering..do you omit the "smoothing" part when you textlax or do you not let it "sit" on your hair when you textlax? I am going to start textlaxing on my next touch up and am trying to find the best technique...my freshly relaxed hair just looks to thin after i rinse, and Im starting to be able to see more of my scalp when my hair is wet after a fresh relaxer...so your help would be greatly appreciated girl. Thanks
Hi! Your hair is so Pretty! wow! I'm growing my hair out and also texlax,using Just for me Texture Softener I find it really helps maintain health and thickness.
One question: how do you do a black tea rinse? I have some shedding. Again I love your hair and your blog! you have a new follower!

@ Zainab.... I have been retouching 10 to 12 weeks....I haven't been stretching long b/c my new growth , texlaxed hair, and relaxed hair is really hard to manage (3 diff textures)
@ RachelMD.... To be honest it depends on how fast your hair processes and the results your trying to get ... I personally only smooth my edges
i am going to use the mild next time i texlax ( i have been using regular). i don't smooth it either (well, maybe the "kitchen" area a little). btw have you ever tried the clinique even better foundation? i left mac for it...it's that good!
nice post! your hair looks brilliant in the pics below so youre obviously doing something right! =)
Hye Traycee,
How much Amino acids would you say to add to your conditioner?
Thanks, and thanks for sharing!
Hi Traycee,
Can you explain what texlax is? I will also search to see if you have a post that fully explains it.
Thanks,
Dee
