Your hair looks really nice and looks a little like mine.

What conditioners do you usually use and how do you style your hair. I am looking for new inspiration apart from direct heat.

How do you dry texlax hair without it looking frizzy?

Actually what you are doing is underprocessing your hair. I prefer to use lye relaxers and at the moment using Silk elements Lye relaxer. I started adding Silk Amino Acid to mine (I got the powder form), some add olive oil to the relaxer. I basically use a mild relaxer 15mins. I am 4b, so I wasn't expecting curls, but I get waves and it is more managable for me than when it was natural. It was easier for me to be texlax as I was natural for 3 years, so I was starting from scatch.

Sure. I'll bite.

I believe I'm about 11 weeks post relaxer here:

I'm sorry jade...I'm just now seeing your post. Thanks for the compliment. I cowash once/week with VO5 conditioner, and I DC every 8-9 weeks with Motions Moisture Plus Conditioner, during the relaxer touchup process. My complete hair regimen is in the "About Me" section of my fotki. For my hair styles, I have pics in my fotki; check out the "Hair Styles" and "How Is It Done?" albums.

I'm texlaxed too now.
Originally texturized, but I wanted bone straight. This is what my stylist gave me
The first picture is when my hair is wet, as it dries you see that the roots are straight and relaxed, the ends arent.

Wow, this is really beautiful and exactly how I want my texlaxed hair to look . I'm thinking about transitioning to texlax again. I am tired of thin fine looking hair. I want BIG hair, lol.

This is also very pretty prospurr. Love it. What's your texlax regimen, I mean, how do you actually do yours?

 

[RosesBlack]

[jamaicalovely]

What is a corrective?

 

[Aggie]

What is a corrective?

The corrective I did on my hair was when I transitioned from using no-lye relaxers to lye relaxers. The way I did it was I relaxed my entire head of hair with the lye relaxer including the already relaxed hair so that my hair would behave a little differntly and absorb moisture better - it worked. There may be other ways to it but this is how I did mine.
