Chemical Texturizing is to loosen the natural texture of the hair. Hydroxide, Thio or Keratin Smoothers are used, just like a Relaxer service. However, not as many disulfide bonds are altered in the in the process. Because the desired curl pattern or softness is more visual then technical during the process, a proper texturizer starts with a consultation to determine the client’s needs.
Texturizing the hair is a loose term and can mean many things to many clients. Here are a few things you can achieve via Chemical Texturizing.
Comb-able Texturizers: For very tight curl that is prone to breaking when it is comb. Texturizing is used to release the tight curl slightly to make it easier to comb.
Wearable Texturizers: For tight curly hair that grows out and up. Texturizing is used to release the tight curl allowing it to drop, reduce frizz and have a more uniform curl, with the help of styling products.
Style-able Texturizers: For any curl tight or loose. The curl is considerably loosened to make styling it straight easier. Hair can also be air dried of a curly/wavy look. Good option for clients how style their hair straight and would like it to remain healthy.
Softening Texturizers: For Course Hair (curly or straight) to soften strong textures making it easier to style. Good option for Asian hair types too.
