Texturizer

A trio of women hug.

A texturizer is from the same family as relaxers. The main difference is the content of sodium hydroxide used is very low. This is designed to loosen one’s curl pattern without straightening it. This generally leaves more texture and strength in the hair. Hair can be worn in its curly or coily state but more manageable or using thermal tools, it can be styled to look straight like a relaxer.
