Can somebody please explain what the diffrence is

Between texlaxed hair, and texturised hair?

I thought it was the same to be honest.

Is there a diffrence between permed hair and relaxed hair too ??

I a straighting sense, Yes. Relax and perm is the same thing. Remember, there are two different kinds of perms.

But I have friends that do not have cultured hair and it all means the opposite to them. erplexed

The way I understand it is like this: True texturized hair is usually done with a texturizer (texturizing product), but a relaxer can be used to create a sort of texturized look by simply allowing it to underprocess. So, most people use the word "texlaxed" to refer to having used a regular old relaxer to create a more textured or underprocessed look. "Texlaxed" hair (or hair texturized via a relaxer) usually has less of a defined, uniform curl pattern to it- so it may or may not be able to be worn as a curly wash n go.

So I guess the difference between texlaxed and texturized is more in how you got your hair that way and how it turned out curl pattern wise. (Texlaxed is forum slang, so if you show up at the stylist telling her to texlax you, she might look at you sideways. )

A perm and a relaxer are two totally different things, though we do sometimes use them interchangeably. A "perm" (thio-"curly perm" "jheri curl") uses a completely different chemical from a relaxer(lye/no lye), and the two processes are incompatible with one another.

Thanks ladies

sistaslick, that was what I thought to, so thanks for confirming that..

so is the diffrence between perm and relaxer, like no lye and lye? like lye is perm and relaxer is no lye? or how is it?

"Perms" use a completely different chemical from either lye or no-lye altogether. Perms use ammonium thioglycate (thio) to change the hair's bonds. They first soften, rearrange, and then "fix" disulfide bonds to produce a curl. Relaxers break disulfide bonds to straighten the hair which is why both processes cannot be done on one head.

eta: But it is common to hear folks from time to time say they "need a perm" or they are due for a perm, and they really just mean a relaxer. The words are used and understood interchangeably by some.

I understand now thanks, so somebody with straight hair gets a perm she gets her hair curled right?

Yep "Curly perm" and "jheri curl" would fit into the "perm" category.

Colloquially, a perm and a relaxer are the same thing.

But technically, a perm is supposed to curl the hair using completely different chemicals than a relaxer, which straightens the hair.

As far as the texturized/texlaxed thing ....

Some people use it interchangeably, but in my mind, texlaxed means the hair is basically straight, but still with some texture left in it. Basically no curl pattern should be visible, but maybe a light wave.

Texturized is when the curl pattern has been loosened but not to the degree as a texlax.

IMO, I don't think it matters what chemicals you use, the result with either be texlaxed hair or texturized depending on how much curl is left.
