[@TheeJayMac0214]

I used the kid version texturizer on mine and my daughters hair yesterday. It was enough for me to slather all over mine and the last little bit I applied on hers later that day. I didn’t even part it any special way just made sure to apply to edges last. I applied mine within 5 min leaving it in for approx 2 minutes. Same thing with my little girl and washed it right out. Our hair came out perfect. Still curly, but mot tangled and hard to comb anymore. We have coarse 4c hair 😩

[@whitleyshannon4613]

have 3c 4a hair i really wanna do this but i bleached my hair in may. 5 weeks ago i colored it back to black. Can i do this after 2 months or should i wait longer? 😢

Literally the healthiest texturized I’ve ever seen! I myself am newly texturized (3 weeks now) and my hair is sooo much more manageable and is STILL SOFT! Wash days are way easier - only thing I’m missing now is all that length! Honestly if not for you, I wouldn’t have had the courage to do it - ❤

@@whitleyshannon4613 I waited 3 months after bleaching/toning with a semi permanent dark color to do mine and I had no breakage but my hair is pretty strong period so go off of how you know your hair is, you know your hair best but as a general rule the longer you wait the better. Also I did a OlaPlex treatment 3 times over 3 months before using texturizer.

​@Whitley Shannon you don't need a texturizer unless you're trying to lose your curl pattern .

[@Essetheartist]

Someone at the hair store told me to leave it in 20 minutes! I just started searching so many different sources on opinions about how long. glad I found your video.

[@LifewithQuanda]

Oh no 20 minutes is way too long. Definitely don’t listen to who ever stated that. The would be over processed or even worse you could experience breakage

[@tinahouston9877]

I've been using this exact texturizer for many many years Makes my curls pop,hair is more manageable

[@onthelolo2389]

I have a question for anyone who can answer… why is it that my hair is SOOO much stronger and healthier with a texturizer? They say it weakens the hair but I ONLY experience breakage when I’m natural tbh. Unless I just don’t know how to care for my natural texture but it literally doesn’t make sense. Those chemicals give me length and strength!

[@LifewithQuanda]

Same , same! I feel like it’s because the hair is more manageable. Also it’s easier to detangle due to the looser texture and to properly apply products to every strand.

[@Rezyyyyyy]

My ends were horrible when natural and those single strand knots. I found myself constantly trimming my ends. And my natural hair is crazy crazy thick. Wash day was literally an all day affair…

[@Yahlana]

The reason for that is because the more curly your hair is, the more tangles, fairy knots and split ends you incur FROM the FAIRY KNOTS. Looser curls (or straight hair) are less prone to breakage because of fewer knots/tangles. Hence why the hair SEEMS/Appear to grow faster, as well as having little to no shrinkage. This is why a lot of Natural Women with super long hair either wear it stretched (blown out), or in plaits/Braids. That way it can't get tangled or waayyyyy less prone to breakage due to no knots.

[@CookWithStephh]

[@Littlething41]

Short answers to questions 1 & 2: This is NOT a Jerry Curl OR "Perm." It's a relaxer with oil added to it. What I'm trying to figure out for myself is just how exactly I want to do mine. The back of my head, mid head down and the perimeter is probably 4a. I shaved my head in 2020 and didn't know that about my hair. My crown however.............is like a coarse 4b not as tight as 4C. So I'm mentally trying to figure out how I can work the crown first and do the back and perimeter absolutely last. The struggle is REAL 😂

[@urgunnaluvmeh]

You can do it section by section. As in, do one section, rinse/wash it out, then proceed to the next. People do it that way too

That's a great ideal! I'm going to do just that because when I first gave myself the telax I used all of the activator now I have a softer and curly afro but thanks to you next time I retouch it I will only put in half the activator so it'll keep the thickness to it! Thank you very much!😊

I had my hair texturized by my stylist 2.5 years ago. I was texturized for about two years. When I washed my hair the next week my ends were completely straight. 😭 I usually apply oil on the ends of my hair. I think when she was rinsing it out the ends were straightened. I slowly grew out the texturizer these last few years. How do you protect your ends when you do a touch up on your roots?

Definitely try rinsing out quicker. It may have been on your ends for a long period of time!
