Texlaxed ends not working out..

[Glamiam]

Hi ladies, I need some advice on my texlaxed hair. Well only my ends are texlaxed, and that was by accident when a year+ back my hair was underprocessed. Now the underprocessed hair grew down to the ends. I don't have a problem with having texlaxed ends, my hair looks fuller and more healthier, its just that i feel that my hair breaks more. I deep condition every week, and i also do protein treatments. I know this may sound CRAZY, but if i were to want my ends bone straight, would i have to comb relaxer through it for a very very short period of time? I really don't like using the flatiron or blow-dryer to straighten my hair, and when i do, because its texlaxed the humidity outside makes it frizzy.erplexed

I tried rerelaxing the underprocessed sections when I had underprocessed sections and i think it made them weaker. I would flat iron over it until it grows out if I were you. Use a lot of heat protectant and a good one like chi. Those thin ones like Fantasia don't seem to work as well.

It made them weaker! ughh this is frustrating. Guess ill have to wait until they eventually cget clipped off little by little. Thanks for replying though!

I wouldn't re-relax the under-processed ends of your hair, because it could potentially make them weaker and more brittle. I have under-processed sections in my hair and I tried re-relaxing a very small section of my hair and it made it weaker. I would just make sure to keep the ends of your hair very moisturized, and get it trimmed away gradually.

I had similar problem, most of my hair is texlaxed but my roots were recently relaxed straight by mistake. I considered relaxing the rest of my hair straight in order to have a uniform texture. I have now decided to just leave it as it is and not risk weakening my hair and potential breakage. I don't wear my hair straight often or do wash and gos so the difference in textures is only obvious when my hair is wet.

I Just did this last week. How did your hair hold up?

I had the same issue and decided to leave it alone and keep my hair in stretched styles.

If this helps at all, I have texlaxed hair, but one section (from roots to ends) was clearly underprocessed. I went ahead and did a corrective.
I usually texlax for about 10 minutes, so for the corrective, I left it on for 6 minutes and smoothed that section.

I haven't noticed any adverse effects, but my hair is silky and smooth in that area. It looks and feels great and I'm glad I did it.

Can you try one small section and monitor it for a few weeks and then consider your options?
I hope this helps.
