[coconow2007]

I would like to start texlaxing how often do you texlax?

 

[Christa438]

The other times that I texlaxed, I waited about two months. This will be the first time that I stretch it to three months just to see if Im one of the ladies who can do it.

You're Welcome. Are you a natural or were you fully relaxing?

The first time i texlaxed 17 weeks post,after that I waited for 12 weeks and my last ones were just 10 weeks.
I wanna go up to 12+ weeks again.

Well I'm going on 10 weeks after my first texlax. But between not being fully relaxed and all of the growth from growth aids, I can't take it. I'm going to fully relax next week. I think that I'll be able to stretch my relaxer much longer if I fully relax. Maybe I can reach 15 weeks now that I know how to better handle my new growth.

 

[Treasure2k6]

I usually do it a minimum 10 weeks the longet I've gone is 13 weeks.

Thanks Mocha5 - let me know how the full relaxer works vs the texlax

Treasure2k6 how do u deal with ur new growth and what type of styles do u use?

 

[HoneyDew]

I do it every 8 weeks.

I could go longer if I wore my hair up, which I don't - I wear it down everyday and around 8 weeks it is hard for me to maintain it.

This winter I plan on doing more updos and I think I will be able to to go to 10-12 weeks.

HoneyDew in your pic your hair is nice and straight - is this a result of the texlax or do u flat iron, etc to straighten ur hair?

Oh yeah, that is flat ironed. I airdry it and flatiron most times, but that day I had blown it dry before flatironing (something I did not like doing ).

I like texlaxing because my hair is still very textured when it airdried. Actually I can put it in a puffy ponytail like that. But for work, I keep it straight, but I keep my thickness.

I have had two people at work think that my hair is natural. Sometimes if I flatiron it on a lower temp, get hit with some humidity or sweat it out, it is very textured and wavy so I think that is why they thought my hair was not relaxed.

Thanks HoneyDew - I think I have to start experimenting with different styles that will work with my texture but still look professional - I think that is my fear with texlaxing that I will lose my professional look.

 

[prospurr4]

I retouch my texlaxed hair every 12-13 weeks (after ~ 3" of new growth).

 

[SilkyandSmooth]

Usually every three months. I texlaxed at 10 weeks the past two times, though. (I was trying to get a touch-up as close to my vacation as possible)

 

[Radianthealth]

I texlax every 12-16 weeks. The longest I have ever gone was about 24 weeks, I probably won't do that again
