With texturizers you DO NOT want to sleek down your roots, OR pull through your hair. Just lay the product on, and wash it out.

Hey I'm just seeing your video after 4 years ..Thank You..I just got a texturizer after having natural hair for about 7 years natural..I didn't know that the tex was the sam as the relaxer..can you recommend a safer way to manage the hair instead of going natural all the way..now my hair is more dryer than ever can you recommend a deep restorative moisturizer..Thanks Oct14 2024. Your Video is timeless❤

Licensed cosmetologist here! Perfect timing for this video! With the quarantine clients are going natural and/or doing the big chop! But struggling with manageability because of their texture. This is on point and to the point! With all this branding and mislabeling it’s so easy to believe that one is different. That’s why it’s important to read labels. Love your channel!

[@GetGlamFam]

Thank you! Yes! Reading is fundamental! I tell my clients all the time, they’ve been saying for years that if they wanted to hide something from us, they’d just put it in a book, marketers appear to have that same ideology. They just put it in smaller writing on the back or the side of the box. Thanks so much for watching and commenting! I appreciate you! ❤️❤️

[@marleyhill34]

I already been doing my natural hair myself so I'm not suffering more than most. The worst thing is that I really need a profession trim because my hair is tangle city and uneven. But it does not look bad at all because I know how to care for it and I do not dye it. As I was French braiding it today I was thinking how dense it was getting. I have 4c hair. Curly coily kinky dense hair hides a multitude of sins.

[@karylpowell-booth6674]

Thanks for being so candid, clear and concise. I've been natural for 10 years. Went through some stress and lost about 85% of it last year. So I did a big chop. I hated it! I've been struggling with it daily for the past 8 months. 3 days ago I texturized it. Had I seen this video before that, I'd never have decided to do it. I was looking for greater managability. Major regret. I see another big chop in a few months. Sigh.

[@YoudontknowMimi]

Ugh I became a victim of the Jheri curl in the Kindergarten (which just happens to be the same year my sister got her cosmetology license 😣). I got delivered from that sin & shame around 4th grade when she started giving me regular perms (equipped with scalp sores of course). I really thought that was a way of life until I went to college. I started transitioning but that is a tough process so I started perming only about 2 times a year. Then, I convinced myself that I really didn’t need the chemicals since my hair broke off regularly. The healthiest head of hair I’ve ever had is now at 40, where I wash, condition, and place in a protective style (braids usually). Periodically, I pull out the old-fashioned straightening comb. But it’s not a need-I love my natural hair and its struggles. After all, it is healthy. BTW: I GOT MY GLAM FAM T-SHIRT! 🤗🤗🤗

When I big chopped back in 2001, I had my stylist do a texturizer. Didn't work (my hair is strong-willed like me!🤣) so my natural hair journey began. I'm personally glad it didn't work!

[@GetGlamFam]

A lot of stylists don’t do them correctly, primarily because you don’t learn how to texturize hair in cosmetology school. The only thing they teach about black hair, honestly, is how to manipulate it straight by pressing or relaxing. There are a few schools that dive deeper, but not many. I’m working hard on this channel to try and help out with that, but babayyyyy! It’s work lol! And for the sake of healthy natural hair, I’m glad the texturized didn’t work too! Blessing in disguise huh? 😉

[@revekat2053]

Taking msm helps make your hair softer. Use conditioners that soften hair. This may sound weird but I used a beard softener on my hair because it was so coarse but it worked over time. You might also want to try using a detangling spray combing your hair in the shower might be helpful as well.

[@namaste_charlei]

When I first big chopped I put in a texturizer hoping to help out my 4C hair... Oh Lawd, I looked like an extra in a Soul Glo commercial and had to big chop again! It was a curly, unmanageable mess! I had a Jherri Curl when I was a child (still traumatized) and it wasn't nearly as bad as that texturizer! 😭

Oh LAWD! Lol we’ve all been there with the hair fails! Lol I feel your pain!

[@ElizabethGonzalez-jt7ns]

The active ingredient in a hair relaxer is: Sodium Hydroxide (Aka: Lye). They are ALL the same. I used that chemical to make bar soap. It is very very strong. Like liquid lava after mixed with water. That’s why relaxed hair smells burned after application.

[@GetGlamFam]

Girl I feel her! There would be all out war if someone put a chemical in my babies hair without my consent! If it’s any consolation, relaxer doesn’t permanently alter the curl pattern that your hair grows, but, as you get older and your hormones change, your hair changes with it.

What product did u use to relax

[@EmorettaRobinson]

I didn't know that about texturizers. I thought of them more as a step before a jheri curl. And I wondered if they were what I'd heard my mother talk about male black celebrities getting in the 60's? I think she called it a "process". If you look at early pictures of the "Temptations", Little Richard and Chuck Berry and even Nat King Cole you'll see what I'm talking about. I've been natural since 2013. I haven't put anything in my hair to help chemically manipulate it. But I did use a product that I was told was a good detangler. And for some reason I ended up having a sore spot in the back of my head. And that was one of my issues with relaxers. It didn't matter who did them, if they put oil or whatever on my scalp beforehand or not. No matter what they did I'd end up with at least one sore spot in the back of my head just above where my hairline ended. And that area would be sore for a week or two. I now wonder if this is an allergic reaction to something? But I'm not sure what chemical or ingredient would cause that.

[@GetGlamFam]

I had a client that had a spot in her head that was hyper sensitive like that, turns out it was a spot of psoriasis in her instance, so back when she was getting relaxers, they would always burn in that one spot. As far as the “process” question, that term is commonly used for any chemical treatment in the hair, some likely had curl reformers, but many back then wore relaxers and wetsets, such as finger waves and rollersets. Some did press and curls as well.

[@EmorettaRobinson]

@@WeezyJeffersonYo I thought that was their actual hair texture. Even now Diddy, Usher and Nelly seem to have the same hair texture as they did back then. But it's possible that they have something in their hair. So I'm not ruling that out.

[@Thetruth00008]

So why are we always shamed about taking the route towards having more manageable hair? People of other ethnicities apply chemicals to make their hair less frizzy, etc yet they aren’t shamed into thinking their hair is any less natural.

[@GetGlamFam]

That typically comes from within the community. Now that being said, if you are perceiving this video to be shaming anyone, you would be incorrect. If relaxing your hair makes you happy, and you can keep it healthy, you’ll hear no qualms from me. The concern I have is when people are lied to and manipulated into putting a relaxer into their hair under the guise of it being a different chemical that is “more gentle.” A texturizer is no more gentle than a relaxer, and if someone does get one, they need to increase deep conditioning and care to ensure their hair is not breaking off, dried out, or damaged. I hope that helps clear any possible miscommunications. Thanks for watching!

[@Thetruth00008]

@@GetGlamFam I didn’t really say you were shaming, but our culture definitely does. I want to get a smoothing treatment and my mother in law went nuts. I’ve been without a perm for 12 yrs, however my hair is extremely thick and tangles easily. A lot of fine hairs. Silk presses don’t last due to the porosity. People go nuts if you say you want more manageable hair. Most hair products contain sodium hydroxide. We all are putting some kind of chemical in it.

[@GetGlamFam]

For some reason the culture, especially the natural hair community does that a lot. I will say, make sure that you are selective and well informed on the kind of smoothing treatment you select. Some require 450 degrees of heat, others you can do with as little as 385. Some are more of a straightener, and others just make straightening and blow drying easier when styling, and lightly loosen your curl. There are tons on the market to select from 😊

My pleasure 🙏🏽

How come my stylist keeps applying the texturizer to already texturized hair when I go in for a touch up? Should I get a new stylist? Please help

[@GetGlamFam]

Honestly, yes you should probably go to a stylist that either doesn’t overlap, or specifically request that they apply it to the new growth only.

[@MotivatedMia]

My hair is too sensitive for perms and texturizures I use to get them because I thought I could easily manage may hair by using chemicals to change the texture but I noticed I would experience hair breakage and scalp burns so I stopped using it. I still havent found a way to manage my nautral hair so I usually just wear wigs. Natural stylist are hard to find.... I have to figure out more natural products to use to get curls. My hair is 4c hair which is very course. I'm ready to go natural just not short what to do with my hair.

Hello Thanks for this informations. It s clear for me now. I just want to have waves on my 11 years old child. Because it s hard either for me and for her to take care of her hair... sorry her big and long hair

[@pbronaugh5805]

Hi. My 5yr old son's hair was texturized at suggestion of stylist at the salon after I expressed how tough it was to comb out/detangle and manage. He has very thick, packed "cottony" hair that sucks up moisture and often looks dry (except right after being washed). However when its wet, his curl pattern is beautiful. I can't seem to find any styling or conditioning products that work to make his hair soft, manageable, moist and have sheen. Only thing Ive tried that makes a little noticeable impact are styling products with honey. That was about 1.5 yrs ago. I'm concerned if I made the wrong choice and "messed up" his hair as it seems More coarse, More dry, More shrunken and is impossible to comb or brush unless its done while shampoo/conditioner is on (and even then he howls that it hurts 😟). He doesn't really get haircuts, (occasional lining like 2x/year) so the hair from 1.5 yrs ago is presumably still there....altogether his hair is @8 inches long when stretched out. Do I need to look at cutting most or all of his hair off in an attempt to get rid of this texturizer and so new hair can grow in?

[@cheryls4526]

Hi. Would you have any info on hair growing back from cancer. It has a different texture and anything I can do to get it to grow again?

[@naturallykool]

Hi. @ Cheryl S, did you still have a little growth, like peach fuzz, even during treatments? I'm a breast/lymph nodes cancer survivor and my hair has and is growing in salt and pepper with a much softer texture. My scalp is still tender the longer it gets. I spritz my scalp with rose water, which seems to help dull the pain.

[@cheryls4526]

Naturally Kool we’ll, it went to all bald, like a man bald. Then as the treatments lessened, or I’d say stoped, did my hair come back in the peach fuzz faze. It started and has continued to grow with substantial loss of wave pattern. It sticks up on my head like one of those scared dolls that people poke pins in. And it’s very fine. I had an Angela Davis fro and now cancer, just stopped me of my crow. I had lymph node removal also.

[@naturallykool]

@@cheryls4526 I had waist length sisterlocks before I cut my locks and had my head shaven the day before I started my treatments. After chemo and radiation once my hair started growing in, I went to a barber and I kept my hair in a nice low fade. So easy on my scalp.

[@GetGlamFam]

Good morning y’all! So it’s pretty typical for hair texture to change after chemo, especially depending on the severity of the treatment. But also bear in mind that anything that affects the hormones also affects the hair, meaning potential changes in texture, color, fullness, or curl pattern. That being said, if they removed your lymph node, you may notice some slight changes, once the body balances back out from treatment. It can sometimes take up to 18 months or so post treatment for that hair to begin to normalize into its new, or previous texture. I hope that helps answer the question you had! Also, great tip about the rose water! I’ll keep that tucked in my back pocket

[@naturallykool]

@@GetGlamFam thank you Linwood. It's a journey in healing💜

[@adell8466]

I have "mixed Hair' and texturerized for awhile. At first helped my hair to accept moisturizers but now, I want to lt texturizer grow out but my hair is very dry and I have use tons of moisturizers to keep it from being dry and frizzy but that doesnt last long, Any suggestions on good long lasting moisturizer?

[@honeychile7658]

Can you touch on Brazilian Blowout? Is it considered to fall under relaxer and can be damaging even if it’s done by a professional stylist? I’m natural by the way.

[@tasha123859]

Thank you ! Please tell me how you got your curls back. What did you do? how long did it take? and what is your maintenance routine? It's been three months since my last relaxer and I'd rather have my curls back. The braid outs don't work and I'm not a products person. I've seen hundreds of video with at least 10 products just to barely get a curl. Please 🙏🏽 help me.

[@doedoebird6614]

I’m a guy I was thinking about doing a comb thru texturizer same thing basically as s curl I think so my question is is it ok to do tho? Like would you say if done correctly is it fine to do?

[@sheritadunlap9332]

I put a texturizer in my son hair. He only let me leave it in for 2 min. It did not take it's been about 4 weeks. Is if safe to try again?

[@lissettewalsh5458]

need answers,its 10 year now i havnt relax my hair and had no plan to relax it again,i plan on making a big chop but i have slightly thick hair so was told to ues scurl as a softener,do you have any suggestion?

[@AshaEl-p4l]

So can I use a relaxer for less time for the same results as a texturiser

[@blackwidow4564]

I am glad I let the relaxer go, the chemicals made my scalp itchy and dry and it never lasted. The Alabama humidity took my hair straight back to natural.

[@aleciahall8001]

Thank you for this !! But is there any healthy substitute ?

[@moniejohn922]

What should I do instead for my 4C hair? To make it more manageable

[@eyekandy3000]

Do Thio relaxers make better texturizers because of the lower PH? Most people only use them as part of a curly perm but I just want to loosen up my curls not make new fake ones, lol

[@GetGlamFam]

Thios are generally safer due to the lower pH, so long as they are used correctly and after care is as it should be. Usually the hair appears much thicker with a thio too, because the hair isn’t being broken down as much. However, I would not recommend it at all if the hair has already been treated with a sodium hydroxide or calcium hydroxide relaxer. Excellent question!

[@eyekandy3000]

GlamFam Hair & Beauty thanks so much for the quick response! I’m fully natural 5 years and tired of the struggle. I don’t want to go to a salon for Virgin texturizer though- sorry lol. I’m a DIY person. I think touchups I may go to salon.

[@daphnesmith1812]

I don't like working with Thio. I think it affects the lungs and after a few touch ups I don't like the texture of the hair strand..

[@GetGlamFam]

All I can say is read read read and be careful! And definitely deep conditioning more regularly after you do it, chemically treated hair loses moisture and protein easier. ❤️

[@GetGlamFam]

Are you pulling it though every time? Keep in mind, retouches should only be on the untreated hair at the scalp. I can’t stand the smell of thios, but being a cosmetologist, we are constantly exposed to ammonia and harsh fumes.

[@SimplyQuintessa]

What do you suggest then to soften the curl? I was just about to run out and get a texturizer. Been natural for two years.

[@abbybritish]

Wow good to know.! I just cut off all my hair and the hairdresser said the next time she could use a texturizer on my hair. I will not do it.

[@cathyecooper4376]

Love your video! Thanks for being HONEST!❤❤❤❤😊

[@neer.7292]

My salon put a conditioner in my hair and now my hair is straight when I wash it get curly but not my curly hair I had. I know something was put in my hair do anyone know what it could have been. They denied it but my hair is different and I gotta start over now with my natural hair

[@natashachagans5089]

I know you posted the video about texturizing your hair about a year ago. About 3years ago I did the wave neaveu(however it’s spelled). I have 4c and it’s painful to comb my hair, I want to make my hair easier to comb and bring out whatever curl pattern I have

[@MrsGamerMom4]

What if I texturized my virgin hair, combed the front too much, now it’s wavy, can ot be fixed or am I doing another big chop? 😅😅😅😅

I mom wants to put a texturized on my hair but I really don’t want to! I’m scared to make her sad and say no. What should I do

I am currently using Keratin as a treatment. Do I need to continue with or can I change the brand?

[@jennifermallard465]

[@gdubbs680]

Is there a different in the sodium hydroxide, sodium thiosulfate, and the calcium hydroxide? I think I got those chemicals right?
