I ordered the lineage shea butter relaxer but I was sent the texturizer instead, I didn't realise this until I was ready to rinse out. I'm not sure what to do now. I still want straight hair but I'm not sure if I would be seriously damaging my hair by putting a relaxer on the texturised hair. Please help

You will just need to wait a little while before doing a corrective.

@heirloom, aww sorry that happened to you. I am not too sure about corrective relaxers. I think there is a thread about correctors(sp). I'll bump it if I find it. Is there a lot of texture left? Have you used the linage relaxer before and got straight results? The reason I asked is b/c I thought I read on the Alter Ego thread, that the relaxer acts like a texturizer.
BTW... Where did you order from? I would contact the vendor and let them know they sent you the wrong order.

There is a lot of texture left, my roots are now 3c/4a. And no this is the first time I have used the lineage line. I ordered from a vendor on ebay and I have contacted them, hopefully I'll get a response from them soon.

Yeah, I relaxed with this a few weeks ago and it was like I did a texurizer. I was so shocked at how much texture was left that I had to restrain myself from wanting to do a corrective the next day (I was getting ready for a big event). Now, it looks as if I'm over 12 wks post. Good thing is that it is somewhat easy to straighten.
I'm planning on doing a corrective for the holidays. And I checked mine and it said relaxer so I don't know. I still very much like this relaxer though. Just hope this is not going to be the norm with it.

I had this issue with my virgin relaxer, and even with everyone saying to wait 6 weeks, I re-relaxed all of my hair that same night. My hair is still thick, but not as straight as I wanted. I think if your hair is still very curly and not fine, you can process again. Just my two cents
My hair is a mix of very thick and very fine so I'll slap on some braids whilst I wait the six weeks

MileHighDiva I was planning on doing it with the relaxer of the shea butter line. So I take it that that is not a good idea

Correct me if I'm wrong but the linange texturizer and relaxer have the same exact ingredients in the same exact order

So Saludable84 do you think it would be okay to use the relaxer if they have the same ingredients ?

heirloom, I've had a corrective and I always flat iron prior to touch up...always! I have all relaxers including my corrective done professionally. I waited the full 6 weeks to minimize stress on the hair. The stylist applied the relaxer to the underprocessed areas the last 5 minutes of application.

I'm not familiar with that line. I just looking at the key word texturizer which would normally be a thioglycolate product. Are they just putting different labels on the same stuff to appeal different segments of the market?

Pretty much because when I first tried I didn't understand the difference. It is the exact same ingredients in the same order. I thought it was thio too, but I read multiple labels and even researched online and it's the same: sodium hydroxide. I think that's how so many women are able to just switch like that. It's just probably less strength but heirloom the relaxer was mild IMO. I thought the relaxer was like a texturizer because it still left me with a lot of texture.
Stick with the texturizer and just smooth the heck outta it.

Wow, how did you manage to do that? I'm not even thinking about the hair as much as I'm thinking how did you avoid not having your already open scalp on fire?
My hair is that texture too and I decided to keep it. I've been using Phyto Index I to texturize it. To get it ponytail straight, I have to flatiron it. While I would love it to be real straight, I realized that my hair is breaking too much when it is too straight. It took me almost ten years to learn this. Now that it's texturized, I noticed I'm retaining more hair and it's fuller. It's almost one year since I've been doing this and while I have some ways to go, I'm confident that my hair will reach its full potential in another two years.
