TEXTURIZING MY NATURAL HAIR AFTER 11 YEARS! A bad idea?! 4d hair to 3d??

[@shantelrscott]

The color que shampoo is not for colored hair lol. It’s just a neutralizing shampoo that has a color code indicator that lets you know whether or not the relaxer is all washed out or still on your hair. If the suds are pink in color that means there’s still relaxer in your hair so you would still need to shampoo it again until the suds from the shampoo on your hair turns completely white which indicates your hair has no more relaxer residue in it and you’re safe to move on to the next phase such as conditioning lol. You did good sis. God bless you.

[@TheAshleyTamara]

Lmao thank you for explaining this! I ended up remembering when I was actually washing it out but it had been so long I had really forgot 😂😂😂

[@TheAshleyTamara]

Hey babe! Just letting you know I just uploaded my texturizer touch up and babyyyy the process was very different this time around 😂

I see a lot of people are texturing or perming their hair now. Natural hair is a lot of work and we are tired lol. I wanna see how you styled it afterward.

[@TheAshleyTamara]

You said it right lol we TIRED! It’s so much work man 😂 but I didn’t do anything except flat iron it

[@keishaomole4320]

Ive been natural all my life. I continue to be natural. I understand why alot of us is turning back to relaxers/texlaxing. Its your decision and your choice. I have a positive outlook of my nautral hair. With paitence, perseverance, determination, you can wash and style within 1 hour to 1 hour 30mins. Styling doesnt take long for me either. I understand some of us are tired and feel natural hair is time consuming. But if you put in the effort you would get results. Wish you all the best on your relaxer/ texlax journey 😊

[@TheAshleyTamara]

I was natural for years and did my hair regularly. But doing your hair (in my opinion) shouldn’t have to take perseverance and determination, like it’s hair not a life goal you’re trying to reach lol. I put in the effort and got great results and was still over it. My hair wasn’t unmanageable, I just wanted it to be easier.

[@WilliamsPinch]

@@TheAshleyTamara beautifully said.

[@keishaomole4320]

We all have a goal in mind on what we want our hair to be. Ie. Whether you want longer length or concentrating on the health of the hair. Think whatever you decide it is your choice. I wasn't making any negative comments about your choice of texlaxing your hair. I was only talking about the managebility of the hair- and how it doesn't have to take all day to wash and style. Guess in a way you can call me 'lazy natural'. Wish your continue success on your texlax journey 😊

[@mjo6586]

It is exactly the patience, perseverance, determination and effort for dead keratin (hair) that some people do not want.

[@TheAshleyTamara]

Omg thank you so much 🥹🥹🥹

[@PrincessEffect]

We are always excited about the early end result after texturizing, but we don't think of the after effect of the texturizer on our hair. When you texturize, after some months, your new hair starts to grow and then the texture of the undergrowth is different from the texturized hair and then to make it uniform, you go over to texturize again, you do this overtime because of the undergrowth and then it damages your natural hair. What if you don't texturize the undergrowth? As you keep managing the undergrowth with the texturized hair, your texturized hair keeps falling off because of its than the undergrowth when combing.

[@TheAshleyTamara]

To me, it’s called new growth lol. I went almost a year without doing the texturizer again.

I wanna do this for my daughter hair, I'm so scared. Glad I saw this, will definitely use the strand test first. Your results were AMAZING!! I'm hoping my daughter can have results like this. She is 7 and always say she wants hair like white ppl and I feel like this would be great to make her feel better about managing her hair and her image.

[@TheAshleyTamara]

Thank you so much for the compliment! Ms. Lola I don’t want to discourage you, but I personally don’t think you should use this for your daughter’s hair. For 1, she’s only 7 and this particular product isn’t for the kiddies. For 2, idk you or her but if she’s saying she wants her hair to like someone else’s, it’s because she’s not in love with hers. I think before you change her hair permanently, you should work on helping her love her hair as it grows from her scalp. She is BEAUTIFUL! Her hair is BEAUTIFUL! Managing her hair might be a little difficult, but it gets easier with time. She’s only 7, I think you should wait another year or 2 at the very least. I hope this helps!!! If you want to message me about this please feel free!

[@lolabrown7264]

@@TheAshleyTamara omg I didn't even know that, I thought they were for kids as well.

Can I ask? If u want ur curls...why r u gonna just straighten it anyway? U could have just permed it and not worried about a silk press. Why aren't our wash and goes enough for us,, even if it shrinks a little ? Our 4c hair is beautiful and can be textured without chemicals that are dangerous to our scalp. I just really hope that it doesn't break off.

[@TheAshleyTamara]

Because our hair is also versatile. I like to wear my hair in lots of different styles but since I do it myself usually, it takes A LOT of time. I didn’t want a relaxer. And wash and gos are amazing BUT detangling after a wash and go is a nightmare 😂 I’ve worn my hair in it’s total natural state when it was 3in with shrinkage. I’ve done it all, so I wanted to try something different.

[@thelifeofnicx]

Hey, how can we texture it without chemicals ? Curious to know diff options ?

[@TheAshleyTamara]

@@thelifeofnicx I’m not gonna lie to you, I have no idea lol. But of course taking the time to train your hair will seriously impact the definition of your curls, I just didn’t have the patience to retrain it. I know some people use clay masks to help but I’m not sure how long the definition lasts

Have you been cutting your hair over the 11 years I be so confused at the length of some of y’all hair I know that peoples hair grow at different rates but my hit would be to my butt or longer if I did not cut it the thickness of from my Nigerian side but by far my length comes from my Dominican mother side I think I’m going to use this in my daughters hair her dad is black and her curls are a little more tight we don’t use the N word for the hair in my family but my abuela would have called my baby’s hair nappy I think this will help cut down on how long it take to do her hair

[@TheAshleyTamara]

I would suggest not putting this in a child’s hair, like, at all. Her hair needs patience and you need to learn how to manage her hair especially since it’s so different from yours. Her hair may be tangled if it’s not being cared for appropriately (not saying you’re not, I’m saying in general). But she may just have super tight coils. As far as my hair length, I’ve only been retaining my length for the last few years because it wasn’t healthy when I was younger. I started taking vitamins for my health and my hair started to retain its length.
