How Does a Texturizer Make Hair Curly?
A hair texturizer loosens curly hair without straightening it. It’s primarily used on extremely tight curls to make the hair more manageable. A hair texturizer is chemically similar to a hair relaxer and contains an alkaline substance which will break some of the protein bonds in the hair. A texturizer is milder and is left on the hair for a shorter period of time than a relaxer. A texturizer is typically left on for five to eight minutes, whereas a relaxer is left on for 20 to 30 minutes. Unlike relaxers, a texturizer is left on without combing it through the hair. Hair is frequently shampooed immediately after rinsing out the stronger texturizers in order to neutralize the alkalinity of the texturizer. Texturizing lasts for three to five months, depending on the hair and the strength of the texturizer.
