Confused yet?
While I realize some people don't really know what the difference is between a relaxer and a texturizer, when you throw in terms like texlaxing, they can get even more confused. Plus, with some companies proclaiming they've created a natural relaxer or that their texturizers can create waves for days, it's no wonder consumers don't know what to get!
First of all, texlaxing is a term that hair care forum members invented; it's simply a catch-all way of saying that they lightly relaxed their hair. Chemicals are still involved in all of these processes. Texturizing or texlaxing may allow you to retain much of your hair's volume without straightening the curl completely, so you can blow dry it straight or flat iron it more easily, and then switch things up with a curly 'do when you want a change.
This article goes more in depth on the differences between relaxers and texturizers, but don't be fooled -- they all involve the same chemicals that are designed to permanently straighten your curls and kinks.
