Paula Smith you cant

My hair was healthy when I permed it, texturized it, and when I was natural but being natural was the hardest. I loved my curls but I loved when my hair was straight because I could always get it curled. I just think that every woman should do what's best for them and what they feel is right for their hair in the moment.

a huge part of life is making choices and learning from those decisions. ..if you'd never texlaxex your hair then you'd spend yrs wondering if you should. ..at least you've learned which texture you like best. so you learned something new about yourself . ttyl :)

Very true it’s what happened to me my hair was healthy and good and then I texturized it and it ruined my hair now I’m just here trying to fix it

lol i changed my mind... im going to keep that bs chemical out of my hair... thank you so much

im a cosmetologist and basically its better to use a keratin therapy smoothing treatment than texurizing (underprocessing) your hair with a relaxer..can be dangerous to not relaxing your hair for the full amount of time in the long run because your hair begin to snap on the hair shaft where a certain part took the relaxer more than others. if you go to sally ask for a Malibu crystal gel to restore the the bond that. have been damage from the uneven process

I'll honestly probably still try it. My hair was to my butt when I used to get relaxers, I think it's at it's healthiest when straightened because I can maintain it's moisture more easily. I want only slight results (almost not noticeable), but if it becomes over processed, oh well...it's just hair lol. Probably time for a chop anyway if that happens 😂

Yeah but the bad is bad unless you're truly ready to keep up with texturizing the new hair it will definitely break at the new hair especially doing the winter. So be prepared keep getting every so often are be prepared to CUT IT OFF.

Have you tried bentonite clay from whole foods with apple cider vinegar, olive oil, a little conditioner? It will make your new growth soft and your curls will pop. Don't put too much oil and put a cap on, leave for 30 mins. Deep condition after. Rollersets help as well because you are stretching out the hair. When you have two textures try to not let the hair tangle, brush/comb only on wash day with conditioner in your hair if you can help it.

I texturized (texlax) my hair a right after high school. I was natural for two years at the time and I didn't know what else to do with my hair besides using braids. I went on hair forums on how to apply relaxer on hair for a short period of time. I used silk elements with coconut oil and olive oil mixed in for 10 min application time and 5 min baking time. I felt like my hair had the same good side effects as yours. But just like you, I got at one application s curls then c looking curls the next application. It was a mess with the line of demarcation in between applications. I had so much breakage after a year of doing a application of every 3 months. Now Ive been natural for 4 years as of this Halloween and now I think I will be staying that way. Love your videos.

I have texturized hair and I must say I have noticed the same pros and cons as you. I have a KZread channel and I always say you have to do what is best for you and your hair. I can't wait to watch your new journey.

Thanks so much for sharing, I really appreciate your openess and honesty. From personal research and your video i can tell i'm looking at a texturizer in the wrong light. And your (and many others) cons are deal breakers for me. I'll be exploring less drastic forms of manageability with my hair. All the best on your new journey. X

Thanks for sharing! I really was thinking about texlaxing but I think I won't. You reminded me of why I went natural to begin with! Happy trails transitioning out! This was not a setback but a tried experience, so no regrets only regroup and growth! 👌🏾

well at least you tried it! everything doesn't work for everyone! things happen! I transition for 27 months and finally big chop in August I cut 10 inches of relaxed ends off to return natural. I went from MBL to SL, and its just hair! my hair is growing back out so much stronger and healthier so you will be fine beautiful😍😍 and hair journeys are never easy! Good luck to you and don't be so hard on your self we are learning from each other! xoxo💕💕💕

This was so helpful! I was getting so tired of caring for my natural cool but you saved me and reminded me that will miss those beautiful coils!

"Secret Perm" or "Baby Perm" was what I was told when I asked about texturizing to reduce fights w/humidity, shrinkage and time spent on my hair in general. So I decided to stay natural after working w/it for so long and if I go back I would go all the way back to perm. The time consumption was a huge factor I had to manage b/c I don't use any heat.

we appreciate your honesty girl. we support you all the way.

welcome back ! lol. I know the feeling I texlaxed for a few years until my curls were wavy. SMH ..I transitioned for two years and it was the best decision I ever made my two daughters did as well andoir hair is thicker and longer than it ever has been ! Good luck

I am glad I was able to see this video and I am putting the box back into the bag with the receipt. The pros do not seem to outweigh the cons My daughter has 4c and she had a relaxer put into her hair We grew that out and now I was going to do a texterizer but I decided to twist it out with some conditioner. I love her curl pattern and the strength of her hair so I definitely don't want to change those.

You are on point with the snapping! I texturized my hair and as soon as I did my hair started shedding everywhere. And I'm not talking about fragments of hair. It was literally whole curls. Never again.

AH no. I texturized my hair after you did. I do agree with you. sigh. I'm speechless.....good luck going back.

i have been relaxed, texturized, relaxed again relaxed again and right back to natural. honestly no matter how annoying my natural hair is I stiller prefer that healthy look.

Your makeup & lashes are absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!

Thanks for the info I've experienced some of these same pros and cons and feel that I'm gonna try to stick with staying natural and try to find another way to manage and moisturize my hair

Thanks for this video :). I was hesitating between transitioning straight to my natural hair or do some texturising but with your video I feel like texturising much like relaxing and I do not want to harm my hair anymore , so thanks :).

You got my attention , when you said that the new growth and texture hair snaps off when combing ..... my hair is thick and never shows it true length but I rather be natural than go thru the big chop again . Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much for your honesty. It’s appreciated 🌹

I texturized my hair in August.. It gave me more of a loose curl. I get sew ins and my hair leave out has a cuteeeee loose curl but I think that's because I flat iron that part the most idk lol

I was thinking of texturizing my hair again because I want more length. After watching your video I remembered that I had the same experiences the last time that I texturized- my curl pattern changed and my hair fell off quite a lot while brushing. I might let my natural grow a bit longer and see. Thanks girl!

Thank you for being honest about your experience with texlaxing your hair. I've been strongly considering tex-laxing my 3 year natural hair for weeks... I think we all go through a phase of wavering with our hair. I've been both natural and relaxed and after a summer of wash & go's, fairy nots killed at least an inch of my ends. Anyhow, your video was a gentle reminder of dealing with texturized/relaxed hair; and helped me make my decision to just clip off that inch or two & stay natural. Thanks for sharing & have a beautiful day! :)

Your honesty was refreshing. I'm very tender-headed, and it's a nightmare when I detangle my really thick, kinky curly hair. So I have been strongly considering texturing lately.

I already transitioned once, and honey let me tell you that that was an ordeal I will NEVER be willing to go through again. Lol

Hmmmm. To each it’s own...while trying to be on this natural hair journey I feel either way is your choice proper hair care and maintenance is best. My teen daughter love her newly texturized hair, all the tugging, pulling and daily struggle.. I decided to make life easier for her. I don’t regret texturizing her hair. I just feel bad I didn’t do it sooner. I do take her to a professional every 2 months. In between that we do weekly washes and leave in conditioner. The only solution to doing her natural was keeping it braided constantly. She was sooooo tired of wearing braids. Good luck.

VERY helpful. Thanks for your honesty and clarity of your experience. I was on the fence about this decision because of the time it takes to detangle my 4b hair and the hair that is lost after detangling. I will remain natural. Good luck to you and stay beautiful. :)

You did it wrong that's y

I learned a lot about my hair after I stopped texturing it. My experience was good from the start, I was having my hair in a wash and go method, but then as soon as my thick hair grew it out, my hair was not having it and so it went down hill - so my old hair would just fall out and I had to cut off the ends cause the textured hair would turn to bone straight.

I was so close to trying texlaxing but I love my curls...I know I'll miss them because when I do my hair in protective styles I miss my curls lol..just gotta work with what I got....thanks for this video

i was transitioning for a few months had soo much new growth but i decided to relax it all in july. i kinda regret it bc i dont like my hair being bone straight. im doing my best to take care of my hair now but if it starts getting damaged i'll start over and texturize it. i love how your hair looks. idont have the time or patience to deal with my naturally thick and coarseeeeee hair.

Great video! I'm going back natural too. I've been texlaxing, but it's been breaking off my hair. Right where the new growth and ends meet. I guess I need to go back to natural too

Thanks for sharing this. I could relate to some points as I've been textlaxing my hair for several years now. And I can say I am still seeing major hair growth and I'm not sure I'll ever go natural full time.

Totally unrelated but you remind me of Omarion's wife April ! And so sorry I was considering to texlax my 4c hair just for the hell of it but I get scared of the fact that my hair may thin out again. Glad you're on your way to having healthy hair again!

Can you do a top knot tutorial. Your hair is so cute!

Makeup Tutorial on this look please??? I love the makeup look!

Your makeup is gorgeous! I think texturizing is for those who like relaxed hair but prefer it not to be bone straight, in this case one is not concerned about a curl pattern and your hair is a little healthier/ strengthen. However I didn’t understand your breakage maybe you would have needed a protein treatment because if you are relaxed new growth is in its natural state which give you two different textures and most won’t experience a complete break at that point long as it’s consistent like every 12-16 weeks. This is for the ladies considering this.

Welcome back to the dark side lol. I wanted to try texlaxing but I know my hair is really sensitive to chemicals and heat. I love my curls but I just need better management lol .You're so lovely and I'm pretty sure you make the best decisions for you. thanks for sharing with us!

How did you get your hair to grow so long

i tex for 2 years buoy it was so inconsistent,,, now its all messed up, thin n stringy. . I'm on my way back to natural hope to hang on to both hairs until length increases! Using lovely oil on new growth to keep it soft - while leaving it protective style , it seems to be working. I missed the volume i used to have! Yep my love affair with tex is truly over!

Thank you! This was really helpful

Do you think you can do a tutorial on how you get you top knot to stand so tall?

I so agree with you... I once texlax and I was experience the same... I haven't texlax for about 2 years now..

I cannot keep an straight relaxed treated hair style, my hair is starting to curl more and I take blood pressure medication, I am strongly considering getting texturized treatment

how is your hair today? my hair has been texlaxed for as long as I can remember. I'm going natural too. thanks for the video

I had texturized for about 3 years. It's cool but sometimes I feel like it stunts growth. Texturizer free now but I'd say it's better than the perms which probably had more health risks especially for black females.

Joella Xavier I texturized my hair 2018 in December, because I couldn’t maintain my 4c at that time and afterwards I got the same side effects she mentioned. Well, I chopped it off last year September and since then it’s been growing good, but like everyone I’ve got my good and bad days. I recommend: Rice water (wash rice a little and drain it into a bowl - soak rice again (make sure the rice is covered fully) with orange (orange has Vitamine C, which is good for the hair) - leave it overnight - add the water into the same bowl that is already filled with the other water - keep it in a bottle); a water spray bottle mixed with aloe vera juice (it’s better when you get the plant and mix the aloe vera yourself) and depending on your hair type heating cap method and make sure your hair is either twisted or braided, wanna keep your protected at all times

If I’ve been getting texturized for a few years now how long would it take to go natural?I kinda am sick of getting texturized and I want natural hair...butttt no one in my family has natural hair and they get perms...Also would have to do a big chop??

Absolutely, beautiful

Anyone know her lip brand/color? Love it!

Beautiful make up!

I want looser curls but a texturizer ia like a perm amd I had it as a teen and some hair fell out. Luckily it grew back but I don't want to experience that it is. They need a temporary version of a texturizer where with a certain shampoo we can get our normal hair back

I was 5yrs natural when I texturized my hair in 2012 and I regretted it too,I didn't like my curl pattern as well... So I transition for a yr then big chopped in 2014 and I'm Almost back to where I was before I texturized.I took it as a learning experience.
