Same here!!😅 this year is my 10th year natural and it’s been a fun and beautiful process. I’ve grown my hair out, dye it, cut it intentionally and accidentally (thanks to faux loc take-downs 🙄) and have grown it all back. Now that I’m a mom, I don’t have the time to make my wash days a wine/Netflix day, so I need a faster process. My baby won’t even let me blow dry in peace 😂😂
OMGOSH, this is my SECOND stint as a natural. I’ve been looking at a Brazilian blowout or this. My sister actually floated this idea because she’s tired of hers too. Only thing for me though is any type of chemical takes my hair out!
I made 10 years, this past December. I’ve had about 7 different setbacks in that time but I’m almost at waist length. The thing is though, when it comes to my hair, I’m miserable and the thought of styling & detangling it makes me sad. I realize that I have a hatred for my hair due to the effort it requires. I too am ready to texlax!
Wowzers! I never knew how relatable this video would be. So many of us are going through hair maintenance struggles. I think you should do what’s best for you. As long as your hair is healthy 😉 also it’s been 5 months since I texturized my hair and it’s still looks good.
@@adebeautybox Thank you so much for understanding. I’ve been somewhat struggling with taking the leap, because it feels like some sort of natural hair betrayal but f that! I want to be happy with my hair & not feel like it’s my least favorite chore.
People always say that you should love your hair but I do not love my 4c hair. It is difficult to maintain, and that is the reality. I cannot just wash and slap a conditioner, brush right thorough and leave like type 3 hair. People like to behave as if the effort it takes to maintain type 1 hair is the same as type 4 c hair, and it's not. That is why we rock wigs with looser textures, due to ease of maintenance
16 years! I fell for the whole go natural movement back on RUclips. Followed all the “gurus” and stuck with it but I IS TIRED! Who do I need to prove my natural hair to because I’m done fighting this head 😭😭 it’s nothing wrong with textures or showing my Afro pride I just can’t anymore. It starts as a joke but seriously! I fall into cycles where I don’t even wanna touch it soo I think back to my relaxer days where my hair was fun and thriving. Let’s do it guys
Love your video❤ I think the reason it turned out more of a relaxer than texturizer is because you applied it to the roots first and other vids I’ve seen they always do the roots last because they process or straighten the fastest because of heat from your scalp. And also you didn’t apply as much to the ends which is why they still have a good curl, but overall if it’s more manageable for you 👏🏽it looks great!!
This was totally me 3weeks ago and I’m so happy I did this I haven’t worn my hair out this much in over 10yrs it’s a freedom I love my styles hold better and late longer. I hope u have the same experience
Yass thanks for sharing this, I have been on the fence about this and after this video and some of the comments I’m more convinced. Im so over this natural hair fad been doing it since 2009. ❌⭕️❌⭕️
Your hair looks very beautiful and soft. Maybe next time you can use a base like vaseline and start from the back. The front of our hair is very fragile.
Thank you ☺️ it’s been a while since I put chemicals in my hair. That is great advice, I used to base my hair with Vaseline and start from the back with relaxers. The Texturizer was not as strong, only had a little tingle.
It’s been 6 years for me since I’ve been natural, and I just texturized my hair and it feels and looks so good. I’m def done with lace fronts too😫 great video!!!❤
Ade I love this video, your kids are so beautiful God bless them 🙏🏾Your hair was beautiful before and after, very thick n healthy but the end result blew me away, very stunning More videos like this please ❤ ps: I'm also sick of the lace closures 😅
I did the same after 10 years. I was done. I mostly kept it in braids because I have depression and who wants to deal with doing hair when you have no energy! Plus my hair is long and thick. I wanted something I could manage and didn’t want a relaxer so I tried texturizer. Now I can just get up and go. I no longer have to blow dry my hair everytime just to get it in a ponytail and STILL have a messed up hairstyle! I can’t stand people telling others what to do with THEIR hair. Do what’s best for YOU! Nobody else
My last relaxer was in 2002. I'm starting to resent my hair as well. So, I feel these comments with my whole spirit. With 4 girls, its just not realistic for me. I applaud the naturally gifted braiders and stylists...but thats not my calling. Having 5 natural heads to work with is EXHAUSTING. If we dont opt for locs then this might be the way i have to go.
@@SuperCJ850 do what’s best for you. Wow wow, 4 girls plus yourself is a lot of hair to deal with. My Mom had 5 girls and she gave up on my natural hair when I was 8 years old. Permed my hair at 8 and I cried but as an adult, I understand why she did. I would give my kids an option.
Omg this was my come to Jesus moment today while in Ulta shopping we have 3 girls with thick hair I'm over it 😫 . The constant braiding and hours of time doing hair but neglecting mine cause I'm tired. I think I'll be texlaxing ours too.
thank you for this tutorial. can you do another step by step one because I'm considering doing it at home..and I've never applied a chemical like this in my hair before on my own
Nice to find your channel and happy holidays. I decided to do a keratin treatment. I still consider myself 'natural' since it didn't get rid of my coils, just made them a little less tight and my cuticles more soft/smooth. I have been wearing my same braidout/bantuknot-out styles, just so much quicker to do. I used Answr keratin treatment and it didn't even burn my scalp any. Did you consider an at home keratin vs the texture release? Did you want a looser coil than you can get with the non-formaldehyde keratin products?
I did a little research on Keratin treatment. I wanted my roots in the front to be straight and lay better with my sewin leave out. Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Holidays.
Came out pretty decent, but the way you applied it was like a relaxer. You don't want to smooth the cream through your hair or lesve it on long. You apply it, comb it in til the waves form, then rinse it out asap. Scurl is a mild lye relaxer, so if you apply it as such you'll get that result. Your hair in the front is much straighter than the back and ends because of the smoothing.
I think with a texturizer you are trying to loosen the curl pattern . A texturizer has the same chemicals as a perm. I think it turned out like a perm for two reasons. 1. You applied just like a perm, all over. 2. The time you let it stay on. 3. Combing through. To make it manageable it should not be on your whole head. Like for instance I’m natural now. I cut my hair short and started using curly hair products. I’m about to use perm, but only to loosen the pattern on my edges and on my frizz areas only. It will only remain for maybe 5-7 minutes because I don’t want it straightened. Just more manageable. My hair is very thick. I would classify it as 4C. Also one side of my hair in the front is thick than the other. I’ve also seen texturizer like sparingly on hair throughout. So, for instance, if you grabbed a small grouped strands and lightly put the perm on just a small group downwards. Same for the rest.
So wait...it was nice and thick before, but you only wore wigs or did other natural styles just not turn out? Would have loved to see what a braidout or twist out could have looked like before and after. Are you finding yourself wearing your hair out more now or did you revert back to wigs? Loved the final look.
It does look more manageable...and it does kinda remind me of a relaxer on virgin hair, the only difference is it doesn't go over all the hair including the ends...but it looks good
It reminds u of a relaxer 😂. That's because it IS a relaxer. They are the same. Same chemical.. does the same thing. The name only differs due to how the company wants to market the product. Results (straight..bone straight..loose curly.. ) has everything to do with how its applied, smoothed, and how long its left on. Meaning if u smooth it n straight then BOOM yr hair will be straight.. if u just gently loosen the coil then you'll have the texturized look if loose curls or a wave. ❤❤hope this helps someone. P.S. Relaxers were never meant to get hair BONE STRAIGHT but to RELAX the coils/curls. (It's so sad the ppl r learning from folk that don't know themselves. Welcome to the Internet Social Media Academy, where the blind leads to blind.
I've been natural for 15 years through multiple cuts and colors, locs, braids...I'm debating going back to a relaxer or an alternative since I've taken care of my hair less as a natural than I did when I was relaxed and found my hair grew quicker, thicker and longer but I'm so torn on giving up my curls! But, I have noticed my hair feels alot softer and keeps my curls after coloring. I've never tried a texturizer so I'm like hmmm should I try this instead of going back to a relaxer for a 90's pixie cut since I know a blow out won't last, I'm too active and sweat too much during the summer for it to last.
Me taking out my braids about to do the samee thing 😂😂 my hairdresser always got me the kids version so that's what imma do, after years of being natural.
I love the way the S curl looked on your hairi'd like to hair better with the s curl before you put the weave on it but it's your hair you do you but I love your hair after the s curl and before the weave.
Listen, I truly understand... My daughter and some of my family members went natural....and half of them are back relaxed...I have been relaxed for years and it works well for me
The natural life was difficult and I think more expensive. I’m over it!! I understand them going back. Yep, we all must do what works best just as long as the hair is healthy.
@@FromAbiWithLove I have used Aphogee Protein Treatment for my hair and it makes my hair stronger. I had heat damage from getting a Dominican blowout while natural and the treatment revived my hair.

A texturizer is a relaxer “perm”
Hate perm burns and burned hair with heat appliances.
Me too 🥲 but it wasn’t so bad with the Texturizer.
Why you didn’t put a rod all over your head like they do in saloons , or does that not matter ?
You looked a little irritated around the edges prior to starting which is why you probably started burning so quickly. Should’ve done perimeter last.
Hi Shaw, I scratched my scalp before application. True, should have started from the back.
I don’t have 4c or 4d hair. But I wish women with tighter and less curl defined hair can really learn to embrace your natural hair.
Fuck you. My scalp aches. Hair breaks in over this shit and over ppl like you who DONT get it
If you don't have that type of hair why are you commenting about learning to love it?
