Managing curly hair can take a toll on you, and straight hair may seem dull after a point. Straight, wavy, or curly - no matter your hair type, it is natural to experiment and try out new styles. Using chemicals to straighten curly hair or relaxing the texture of frizzy hair is possible with relaxers and texturizers. They are excellent products that can help straighten the hair, make them more manageable, and deliver a softer hair texture. 

What are Hair Relaxers & Texturizers 

A hair relaxer works with curls to reduce them by breaking down hair strands and altering the hair texture chemically. Hair relaxers are lotion or cream-based products. They are used by people with curly hair or tight curls or those who want highly straight hair without any frizz. Some people recommend visiting a salon for the best experience. However, the process can be tedious and time-consuming. Hair relaxer kits can be used for application at home to straighten the hair by relaxing the curls. These kits are convenient to use, cost-effective, and can be handled efficiently by following the instructions. 

Texturizers are milder versions of hair relaxers. A texturizer is a natural chemical treatment that loosens the curls, smoothes and de-frizzes the hair. It is similar to the relaxer and manipulates the hair's natural texture. The treatment is left for less than five minutes after application on the hair. 

Using Hair Relaxer Kits at home

General precautions that must be followed while using hair relaxer kits at home

• Refrain from shampooing your hair before using the hair relaxer kits. It may be irritating.
• To spread the product evenly on your hair, ensure they are thoroughly detangled. 
• Divide your hair into small sections and avoid product wastage.
• Avoid applying the hair relaxer on your scalp.
• While relaxing your hair, avoid raking the comb on them. The comb should be used only for distributing the product evenly and smoothening it
• Wash your hair only once or twice a week after applying a hair relaxer using sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner.

Manage your Curls with Relaxers and Texturizers

Relaxer and texturizer treatments can be availed professionally or at home. However, they need regular touch-ups, unlike other permanent hair straightening treatments. A professional session may be expensive, but it can take care of your hair by adding nutrients stripped during the process. If you want a more affordable option, hair relaxer kits can be used at home. Shop at Cosmetize and get exclusive discounts on our range of relaxers and texturizers.
