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...

The Baggy Method
The thickness of my hair has really been kickin my butt lately... Yesterday I did a pony tail for the gym and it felt like it took forever to get that stuff gathered in a ponytail ... I know that its going to get thicker as I keep texlaxing and getting rid of my ends... This is definitely got me rethinking this whole texlaxing thing...
Last week I enjoyed my flat ironed hair and now I'm back to protective styling... At night the video below shows my nightly routine ...In the morning I will just do a cute bun with some chop sticks ..Maybe style some bangs..
I take progress pics during my hair journey but I have never taken the time to do it during my fitness journey..
I felt like I wasn't seeing any progress until I watched the video above and I could see the definition and muscle in my back, arms and shoulders (coming in nicely) and it encouraged me to keep doing what I'm doing ..Sometimes I think we need to see progress to keep up motivated
