A Few Things to Know About Texturizers

A Great Wash-N-Go Option.

For most women (and men), texturizers can offer better manageability when you have minimal time on your hands. Texturizers are the ultimate wash-n-go stye, as you don’t have to do anything to it at night but cover your hair in a silky bonnet or wrap. And in the morning, add a few sprits of water and moisturizer (try Africa’s Best Organics “Texture My Way” or SoftSheen-Carson Care Free Curl) over your hair and you’re on your way. And for women who spend hours working with their hair post wash, all a texturizer needs is a conditioner and conditioning cap, which you can wear to sleep to keep hair healthy and soft. Texturizers greatly reduce frizziness of hair that happens during the smoking hot summer time, and if it gets rained on, there aren’t any “run-for-the-hills” effects.

In the end, a texturizer is still a chemical process that your hair is undergoing. Like a perm, if left on too long, it can have adverse effects on your hair, and the results are different for the many textures of black hair out there. Plus, it needs constant conditioning to stay healthy. But if done correctly, your hair can remain soft and full of volume. You can style it in a multitude of ways depending on length and you don’t have to worry when you work out or find yourself in strong heat or heavy rain. And while this was written to give you some insight into the hair treatment, if you’re truly looking into it, consult a professional stylist before you make the leap. But this has been just another option in the never-ending quest of “what to do with my hair?” Stay tuned for more options to come!
