I am really interested in coverting my relaxed hair into a texturizer by putting it on the new growth. For some reason, my ends can get curly, but not all of my hair. It can just hold a faint wave. I want to be able to grow into a new texture, where I can wear all of my hair curly and wavy. Could anyone tell me of any good brand of texturizers and their experiences with it??? Can hair be worn straight with a texturizer, and can it be worn in wet sets too?? Are texturizers good for just short hair only, or does it work well with medium and long hair lengths also?

Thanks,
Karonica

Most relaxers have a Ph of around 13 to 14 whereas texturizers have a Ph from 7.4 to 9. Water- which is neutral- has a Ph of 7. I think the active ingredient in most texturizers is ammonium bisulfate. Some people see no difference after getting a texturizer. Some people report less frizz and looser curls. I know your hair has to be virgin to get a texturizer. You can`t put it in your hair if it is preveously relaxed.
