Hello Ladies,
Don't worry this isn't one of those threads. I've been going back and forth contemplating texlaxing and wanted to get some feedback.
As seen in my siggy my last texlax was almost 2 years ago. Before transitioning I texlaxed every 4 months with no problems until I stretched for 6 months. Having no prior experience with my natural hair I suffering a set-back due to improper detangling. I began my transition about a year later since my ends couldn't seem to get back to what they once were. To cut a long story short i've worn my hair in fros', twist outs, braid outs, wash n' gos, half up/half down, afro puffs....just about everything you can think of. The issue is while it's great on the weekend during the week I bun. At first it wasn't a big deal because I wore buns when I was texlaxed. The good news is I love my natural hair. This idea to texlax has nothing to do with self-hate. My fro is the bomb.com and can't no one tell me otherwise. My issue is time. I don't wash or mess with my hair during the week because I refuse to style in a rush. But having only Sat and Sun to style has gotten old and I want to wear it in a texlaxed style to get the best of both worlds. I'm nervous that i'll regret and decided to post some pics so you can let me know your preference. Be honest and please leave all biased opinions at the door. I've been a member her for some time and typically consult LHCF before making any major changes. I know it seems a bit much but your opinions mean more to me than the average Joe.
On to the pics! The first three are natural pics and the last two are texlaxed pics.
