a texturizer is like a relaxer but not as powerful. instead of getting rid of the curl it is loosened. a lot of people with short hair do it because its easier to prevent overprocessing. long hair can have one too. they just make your hair look really curly. with the style you can wear it wet and scrunched, dry and loose or however u choose to rock ur curls. u can style with gel, any type or s curl cream, pomade, but it really all depends on the style u will be wearing

There are a lot of texturized people on the board...den1, modelchick, and curlycurly are all texturized. I am texturized too and I think we all have pictures of shoulderlength texturized hair. The other poster is right...any relaxer can be used but you have to be very careful about the timing to get the right results.

Transitioning from a relaxer to a texturizer will depend on what texture you want to achieve and what your current texture is. If the textures are not too different you may be able to transition for a while. If not you may experience some breakage unless you moisturize very well. I think the curve site has some great pics of texturizers:

Dahomey-- Thanks. Here's my story. I have been using Optimum Care no-lye for the past three years or so. Not necessarily on purpose, the no-lye was not straightening my hair. After reading about the evils of no-lye relaxers, last week, I gave myself a Dudley touch-up, which I let work for only 10 minutes. The roots are pretty wavy, and I have some texture on the other 10 inches or so of my hair, but it is closer to straight than wavy. I don't want to cut it. I think I'll keep working with the Dudley as a "texturizer" and see where that leads me in the next year or so. I'll keep well-moisturized.

I texturized my hair to help thin it out. I was natural for about two years, my texture was then a 3a/b but it was about two times thicker and it took forever for me to do anything with it. My hair stylist told me about texturizing and I haven't looked back. It allows me to wear my hair curly and to get it straight in far less time since it makes my hair a lot thinner (it's still thick). You do have to be careful about the timing. I self texturize and let my stylist do it after highlighting my hair. She left it in a bit too long and part of my hair was almost straight and did curl like it usually did & it stayed that way until that portion was snipped off almost a year later.

Okay, So is a texturizer underprocessed hair? I'm confused. Or is it only underprocessed if it was relaxed and then not relaxed enough. I don't get it.

I think texturizers are very tricky. I've thought about this texturizer/underprocessing thing quite intensely and this is what I came up with.
Depending on what you're trying to achieve, timing is every thing. I think depending on your texture, anywhere from 5-12 (just a guess) minutes will give nice curl definition. But anything over that and the hair straightens the curl pattern further but not necessarily to the point of completely relaxed. This state = frizz. So underprocessed to me falls somewhere between texturized and relaxed. So to answer the question, I wouldn't say texturized hair is underprocessed. I hope that made sense

<font color="blue"> I usually do my head one side at a time (I part down the middle, then do one half completely, then the other half). It usually takes me a few minutes after adequate preparation to put the relaxer on one side. I let it sit for about 7 minutes or so before I rinse, shampoo, etc. Then I do the same for the other half. HTH </font>
