Texturizer Question

[Sungodess]

After you get your first texturizer and it comes that time of year to get another do you apply it to all of your hair or only to the new growth?

Thanks.

I don't do the texturizer myself and I've only had 2 in my life one when I was natural a few years ago and one just last month. Anyway I BELIEVE you only apply to the new growth just a like a relaxer. I mean a texturizer is really only a mild relaxer left on for a shorter amount of time. Someone who's been doing it longer might have better advice for you though.

I've never done one before, but I agree it should only be on the new growth. Otherwise you will be re-processing hair that was already done....possibly losing(or even straightening) the curl pattern you already have.

Ditto to what Sweetcocoa said.

BTW Sweetcocoa, did you decide on a texturizer?

i agree with all. if u keep texturizing all over u will end up with relaxed hair after a few months!

Apply to your new growth only.

Just new growth! Just like a relaxer! /images/graemlins/grin.gif

No I decided to keep with the natural for now. Valleygirl's new pics kinda helped me make that decision. So for now I'm still natural.

Okay, thanks everyone. lol was really confused for a moment there. I was thinking about buying the Zoto Design Freedom Plus texturizer from
http://www.texasbeautysupplies.com/zotdesfreedp.html
because this texturizer is virtually damage free and has a patented keratin building factor to restore up to 90% of the hair's strength.It also sounds very good because it has low thio and no ammonia or anything so I really won't have much hair damage at all like other texturizers/relaxers.

hello sungoddess, do you already have a texturizer and looking to retouch soon? if so was the previous one a lye or no lye? because from what ive read you shouldnt use thio on hair that has been relaxed/texturized with nolye/lye. if you havent texturized before or you used a thio based one before then just ignore this post. /images/graemlins/smile.gif also i dont believe this particular perm is made for texturizing it is for a curly perm. the type when you apply the solution and then set on rollers to get curls.

Hello Jaquai, no I don't have a texturizer yet, but I'm going to purchase one and apply it to my hair next week. All I wanted to know was in a couple of months if I needed to apply it to only new growth or my whole hair but now I know thanks to everyone here. /images/graemlins/wink.gif Yea, the "texturizer" I was thinking about is a thio based curly perm. But I'm sure you could use it to just loosen the curl pattern of your hair and wouldn't need rollers or anything of that sort..

beware of thio based products. Once u use them, u can't swith to another product w/o damaging effects.
