A Few Things to Know About Texturizers

It’s Not Natural.
A lot of texturizer boxes might try and make you believe they are naturally made, but the truth is, they are made up of some of the same chemicals as relaxers. That is, they have things like sodium hydroxide which is very strong, or calcium hydroxide (no lye). A texturizer is a mild relaxer, and by mild, it means the chemical doesn’t need to be in your hair for very long. So supposedly, the process is not as damaging. Plus, you are essentially working with the curls that came with your head, but they are chemically being loosened.
