My first self relaxer in
December 2012 left me with severe under-processed hair that I opted to get a
relaxer by my hairdresser 6 weeks later on February 2013. In 2014, I mastered the courage to attempt self relaxing again and haven't looked back since. I knew for sure I didn't want
bone straight hair but not texlaxed hair either because that almost looks
natural. Then I realized there are
various types of texlaxed texture, which are tightly coiled or loosen pattern. I
chose the loosen pattern. I don’t comb through my relaxer, but smooth it out
with my fingers and I also add natural oils to buy me some more time during processing
time.
