Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have not had a good track record with relaxers or texturizers. Most were left on too long. My hair is kinky but "soft". It would usually break off after about 6 months. I take the condition of my hair seriously. So when this continued to happen I swore off chemicals and went natural. I would use flat irons from time to time. My hair was bouncy and healthy. Then I moved to a sub tropical environment. My hair rebelled and I could not deal with it. I researched products on the internet and came up with this one. When I mentioned it to my stylist, I was happy she had also heard good things about it.
At first, I absolutely loved it. I went from a thick mass of tangled kinks to shiny manageable waves. However, I soon learned that texturizers have one big drawback. They are great on the initial application but it is hard to duplicate that first application. Each "touch up" can overlap on already texturized hair resulting in multiple hair textures on your head. This can cause matting and problems with tangling. However, this was not a major issue for me. I extended the time between touch ups a bit. I would re apply every 5 or 6 months at the start of the humid season.
This product worked well for me. Now after using the product for over eighteen months, I think I will grow it out. Not because of the product but because I am looking to change to a shorter style.
Things to keep in mind: This is still a chemical treatment--don't let the Shea Butter fool you. It is best to time the treatment (with a timer) so you can know exactly how long to leave it on to achieve your desired texture. I would also highly recommend having a stylist apply this product for you. Just be sure to have that serious conversation beforehand about the length of time to leave the product on. Yes, it can burn just like a relaxer and the smell is a bit strong. Nothing, however, that will shock the average person who has had a chemical treatment before. The neutralizing conditioner is wonderful, thick and creamy and ultra moisturizing I would highly recommend you use the Linanges brand.
My hair at it's longest was middle of my back and extremely thick. Just to set it would take about an hour. Post- Texturizer I could set it in 20 minutes. This product was a nice option for me because it shortened my styling time, provided manageable hair without damaging my hair and it was easy for my stylist to apply.
