For those you that texlax......
What strength relaxer do you use? Regular or Mild?
How long do you leave the relaxer on for?
Do you smooth the relaxer in your hair at all?
I want to do this when I relax my hair this evening......
Thanks in advance.
I haven't self-relaxed YET! But I am texlaxed. I think you need to do a strand test to see how long you need to leave it in, since every head is different.
For me, I use Affirm Fiberguard Mild. It stays on my hair for almost the same time as a regular relaxer like 15 minutes, it's so mild for my hair that I don't think it could ever fully straighten my hair anyway. She did smooth it with the backside of a comb (not the teeth) or her hands. My hair still doesn't fully relax. I would say my hair is about 70% straight. I gain another half inch on my texlaxed hair if I pull it straight (I have about 3 inches of texlaxed hair).
Hopefully those that self-relax will chime in.
