Hey girl, I just did this last wks. I've been using Design Essentials lo lye to texlax. Although I loved the fullness of my hair it seemed to revert in about 3 wks, by 6 wks I had to relax again, I've increased my processing time from 25 min to 35 min but although it would seem smoother initially the end results were the same. It was a tough decision to go back to being fully relaxed cause I felt like I failed @ texlaxing but I'm so glad I did.
I changed to Design Essentials sensitive scalp relaxer (regular strength) as I used it once or twice in the past and I liked it. I protected the length of my hair with the Pre chemical treatment made by DE. I relaxed as I normally would but of course trying to finish quicker this time since I was using a regular relaxer. I finished in about 18 minutes, then I did a corrective on the lengths. I took the relaxer in my palms and applied it to the lengths as if I was applying conditioner, I did not comb it through, I gathered my shower stuff and jumped in, the relaxer was on my lengths for a minute and a half, no more than 2 minutes. After rinsing the relaxer i used French Stabilzer Plus, it has a ph of 2.7, good for neutralizing (found @ Sally's). I left it on for about a minute, then used neutralizing shampoo and conditioned as usual.
The results were very good, my texture is uniform throughout, can't even tell that I was texlaxed before. And the frizzy ends I've been dealing with are no more.
It's been a wk and a half so far and I have no issues. Plus I started using Alfaparf Real Cream and the leave in from their bamboo line, my hair feels strong as an ox for the last couple of days so I'm not expecting any issues. Good luck. PM me if u have any questions
