I Went Back To Using ORS Relaxer! Relax Update

The queen of doing what works for you!

[@ulovemegz]

thank yooou!

[@emeth1455]

Fairy knots are the only reason I can see myself going back to a relaxer. I am in my 5th or 6th big chop again but this time it is not because of those darn knots but because of brain surgery. I am so happy that I didn't go back to the relaxer before my surgery. It was an emergency surgery and when I woke up in ICU they had shaved 1/4 of my hair off. When I went home I shaved the rest of it off. I am now sporting a curly twa and loving it. Your hair looks really good.

[@HellBrat]

@SIMply Skye She means that the maintenance isn't for everyone. I have a hard time detangling my _relaxed_ hair sometimes. I can't imagine sitting hours with conditioner trying to detangle my natural hair and straightening it just for it to go frizzy in the heat when I step out. Not everybody has the time and patience for all that.

[@carlaburrelmusic5851]

I’m a professional and your on the right track. I have the same thickness and density and I’ve never had a relaxer. But I’ve always straightened once a month or blow out and my hair has always been Atleast mid back UNTILLLL the natural hair movement and I started wearing wash n gos and wet braidouts and started experiencing major single strand knots and sneaky breakage where I didn’t notice it until I straightened and my hair looked a hot mess. Fine hair does better stretched and with low manipulation. It’s true.

[@AkosuaFire]

My daughters hair was always long when i maintained it with braids and occasional blowouts and flat iron. However, shes a teen and likes to wear it curly with wash and gos. HOWEVER, like you say sneaky breakage is a reality and her hair is not as long and full as it once was. Im currently tryin to get her back into braids and stretched styles...

I went back too after 8 years natural. Gave myself the BEST perm ever using ORS. Couldn't get my Mizani nor Affirm during quarantine.

[@DS-Trina]

Your hair looks great. I know you mentioned that you may go back natural but, some people’s hair just does better when relaxed or straightened. I’m a natural (I have no chemicals), but I straighten my hair because it’s less manipulation for me, and I can retain more length. As soon as I don’t straighten my hair, I realize that my hair tangles more, I have to wash my hair more because I’m using more product to style it, and it’s more manipulation. I have fine hair as well. Your hair is looking healthy, and it’s filling in. Thanks for sharing.

[@conniechoward]

Me too. I'm natural but wear my hair straight. I've been natural for 5 years and trimmed it myself. It cut so much. I started straightening 2x a month and moisturizing regularly and my hair has grownnnnnn way more than it did in it's curly state. I will stick to this.

[@sandianbc8732]

What do you moisturize it with sis. For it to not to revert back. Been enjoying my hair straightened too. Like no insane tangles and single strand knots

[@DS-Trina]

@SIMply Skye You can have healthy straightened hair, and you can have healthy relaxed hair. It's all about how you take care of your hair. I see people with unhealthy natural (God given state) hair all the time. The point is, if you don't know how to take care of it your hair will be unhealthy regardless of its state.

[@DS-Trina]

@@sandianbc8732 I've found three products that have worked for me. (1) Naptural85 Elongating Creme (I know I'm missing something from the name), (2) Mielle Organics White Peony Leave-In Conditioner (I spray my ends and Immediately seal with oil afterwards), and (3) TheCurlSmiler (this is an expensive product, it's a small owned brand, but I haven't found any moisturizing butter like this one. It is really unique). I moisturize and seal right before I wrap my hair and my hair doesn't revert.

I will try to go every 14 to 15 weeks before I relax again.

[@natalia150598]

The new growth may be straighter right now because its fresh but it will thicken out. You won’t need to cut much, you can also you two separate conditioners when conditioning, one for your ends and one for the top to mid shaft of the hair. Use a moisturizing conditioner for the ends and a balanced one for the top and mid shaft.

[@kalishajnz]

Your hair is looking really good!! I used ors no lye for years and about 2yrs ago switched to mizani no lye. The difference for me is I used to add coconut oil to the relaxer to slow the process and not relax bone straight and with the mizani I get the same results without doing all of that.

[@SandcastleGirl]

Mizani is the same relaxer that I've been using and it always gives me consistent texlaxed results. Unfortunately, it is extremely hard to find in Canada. I've been thinking of switching to silk elements lye relaxer in mild. Do u have any experience with silk elements relaxers? Also can you switch back and forth between lye and no-one alot? I haven't used a lye relaxer in over 10 years, and I'm nervous because I have a sensitive scalp. Thanks in advance 😊😊

[@kalishajnz]

@@SandcastleGirl During quarantine I had a hard time finding it as well. There's a website called sleekshop.com that sells professional hair care products and they have it. I've never used silk elements but I also haven't heard anything bad about their relaxers. I know a lot of people like affirm if they can't get mizani but I've never used that one either. As far as switching I would pick one and stick to it. I prefer no lye myself but that's because I like to scratch my scalp, lol. Hope I was helpful.

[@keamber.vaughn]

I have fine hair like you and honestly I’ve found that I have less breakage with either wash n gos, stretching my hair via the revair, or wearing my hair straight. Wash n gos are great for fine hair because the gel “freezes” the hair in place. I do wash n gos 2x a week. My hair breaks off doing twistouts, braid outs, long term protective styles, AND even wearing regular twists with my hair. I don’t get a lot of SSKs with WnGs at all

[@celines4621]

I finally texlaxed about 2 weeks ago after being natural for 10 yrs. I used dark and lovely and I thought it would be good since it had bonding treatment and essential oils in it. My hair processes fast, so I added olive oil and coconut oil to it. My hair felt very dry so I washed and DC two days later bc I was afraid of breakage. I moisturized with amla, carrot and almond oils to help keep it moisturized which helped a lot. Then last night I noticed a lot of shedding. I sprayed my hair with the aloe juice rosewater mix which helped and ton and did a botox treatment in my hair today then moisturized after I heat styled to lock it in. In 6 months if salons are open I will probably just do keratin treatment since those work really well for me and keep my curls with no damage risk.

Your face and hair are gorgeous! Just a thought, but I'm wondering if your roots look straighter because your relaxer is fresh. I'm relaxed and in the first few weeks my roots look straighter because my relaxer is fresh. By the 2nd or 3rd week some of my "straightness" has worn off and I can see a bit more thickness. Chile by the 4th or 5th week, my roots are like, "relaxed where"? My new growth comes in with a vengeance . :-)

I feel the same way. I never enjoyed my natural hair this go round so.im doing a relaxer this weekend and then I'll start over

[@butterflyrp1438]

I have been thinking about relaying or texlaxing my hair. I am 4 yrs natural and girl my hair shedds like crazy, is super dry and the worst part is detangling my hair. I honestly hate wash days because it is such a stressful process that is my personal experience. I just wanna have an easy lifestyle with my hair✌🏽 Thanks Megz for this informative video😊

[@theenchantinggaia]

Megzzzz you would look great with a pixie or a fade. You have the face for it. Just a thought💕

[@lizziewalker9374]

Due to Covid I am now at 22 weeks without a relaxer! Over 20 years ago I went natural and it was almost two years of growing out my relaxer. I swore I would never do it again. LOL! I am a 12 week relaxer as well, but I have gone as much as 16 weeks. Now at 22 weeks I can't wait to get my relaxer back in. I've never been able to transition to a good natural curl pattern. I have natural hair envy, but it just doesn't work for me. But Natural or Relaxed whatever your preference I say do what is best for you and what works for you. ♥️

Best relaxer in the game 🙌🏾

[@sandianbc8732]

Have you considered using ORS Lye Relaxer for your touch ups, instead of their No Lye box relaxer? Since Lye relaxers are gentler on the hair (even though it's harsher on the scalp) it may give you the texlax result that you're looking for. No Lye relaxers are known to be harsher on the hair (even though it's gentler on the scalp). I noticed that no lye relaxers tend to give a more bone straight look over lye relaxers. As long as you protect your scalp very well, you should get the results your looking for from ORS Lye relaxer. Maybe you can try that at your next touch up. I'm happy for you and your hair growth journey and your hair looks beautiful.

I’ve used both before and didn’t personally notice a difference. I just chose to use the box kit because it’s familiar for me and I’ve had good experiences and easier to find in store verses the LYE.

[@janayh2817]

Sub Stuff I use ORS with lye. Works much better and I don’t have to worry about calcium hydroxide buildup like no-lye relaxers. Lye got a bad rap but it works amazing when used properly!

[@Lovely-lv9vb]

@@ulovemegz I understand, yes it is much easier to find in stores. I'm glad that it works well for you. Thanks for responding.

[@Lovely-lv9vb]

@@janayh2817 I feel the same way. My hair still maintains some texture and my hair doesn't feel dry when I use a lye relaxer.

[@debrarivera6271]

Meg ORS is really working for you I love your hair looks with the texture beautiful great job

[@JuJuBee223]

Yeah Meg I'm relaxed too and my hair didn't start growing and retaining length until I started deep conditioning with the ORS Hair Mayonnaise at least once a week. (I mix mine with another conditioner just to give my hair a nice scent. I leave it in for a few hours. Also seems like flat irons are the enemy of relaxed hair. If you need it straight just use the blow dryer with the comb attachment. Another big thing I did was went back to the Tresseme Heat Tamer Spray in the red and black bottle. Its 4.99 everywhere and even the Glam Twinz recommend it as one of their musts as well. Mist a section and use the curling iron or all over before you blow dry. It conditions it and the curl comes out so pretty and shiny. I had used it years ago and my hair got long. I stopped because it was a good length but then started breaking because I wasn't using that heat protectant so now I'm back on it. Also if you do use a curling iron try using the lowest setting you can for your hair to make a curl. I'm excited for you coming back relaxed!

[@blaccchai8518]

That was me when I was natural. A continuation of knots, breakage plus my hair was supa thick, coarse n wooly. Couldn't figure it out. Following some ppl on utube, that didn't work. Me tryna find my own way n was stuck. Was natural for 7 yrs n went relaxed n was feeling so stress free. I still have problems wit my crown but I'm transitioning back to natural using one. Product only (Nairobi line). I will be using the same product when I'm fully natural. I think I know my hair better now while transitioning

[@JennnSaidWhat]

It definitely looks thick & healthy

[@MT-uo3lq]

Yes now! Chemical damage is gradual, so it will take YEARS before she notices. 🤔

[@GigiFoxx]

Hi Megs! When you texlax how long do you leave it on before you rinse it off? Do you smooth it once or twice? I tried going natural and my relaxed hair broke off. How do you prevent breakage and how did you get your hair to grow so fast? Thank you sweetie!

[@precioustoya]

Mizani Butter Blend was the only relaxer I only used when I was getting perms. I honestly may got back to it if and when I’m over my 10yr natural journey....I feel like my relaxed hair was BETTER and longer than my natural hair journey....

[@kemikunle9360]

The "straight" feel of the ORS relaxer you just did may just be because you have a fresh relaxer. Sometimes, my hair will get more texture the next time I wash it. Maybe, maybe not - I do personally have very stubborn hair - but it's worth holding out hope that some texture will return!

[@ulovemegz]

Thanksss. It actually processed different because I can tell the way it air dries that it processed permanatly straighter.
