What is the difference between a texturizer and a relaxer?
Basically, a texturizer and a relaxer are the same thing. The difference is in the strength of the product and/or how long it’s left on the hair. Both are chemical processes. Both break down the bonds in the hair, relaxing the natural curl. Both have a permanent effect on the hair. The difference is a texturizer leaves the hair with more of the original natural curl and a relaxer generally takes the hair to pretty much straight.
