Has anyone transitioned from

relaxer to a texturizer. If so, please do share. I'm thinking about doing this but I don't know how to go about doing it.

Thanks for any suggestions and/or experiences.

I believe teenie did. Do a search on her name and see what comes up.

Her hair seemed basically "texturized" before she transitioned IMO. She said that she just started texturizing, yet her ends were curly. So, IMO she always had a texturizer. Thus, no transitioning.

Since a texturizer is basically a relaxer(that is rinsed alot sooner than if you were relaxing it straight)...you could just texturize your new growth only when you are ready for your touchup...
That seems like a simple way to do it. You just have to cut off the 'straight' part as you go, till it's all gone. That's the way I would do it. I'm sure someone else can give you another way of achieving this.

It depends on how long you want to transition. I went from shoulder blade length relaxed hair to my current do in 11 months (see my album). I grew my hair out and texturized when I had enough new growth to satisfy me. I could have just texturized the new growth without cutting my relaxed ends all the way off, but my roots would have been curly and the ends straight, so I would have ended up wearing my hair straight all the time until I had trimmed off all the relaxed ends and I was in a hurry to wear my hair curly so I just went for the big chop (of relaxed ends). If you have patience, it can be done. Good luck !
