What does Texture Softener do to hair?
A texturizer for natural hair is a chemical treatment that works to smooth and defrizz your hair while loosening up your curls. The treatment is left on your hair for no more than five minutes. While it’s similar to a hair relaxer, texturizers work to manipulate your natural texture to make your curls more manageable.
Can you put texturizer on wet hair?

How long should I leave texturizer in my hair?
Generally, a texturizer is left on the hair for five to 10 minutes, a shorter time than a relaxer. As with a relaxer, a texturizer must be washed out with a neutralizing shampoo to stop the chemical process. It’s also best to use a conditioner afterward to restore moisture.
Can I wet my hair before a relaxer?
Cleansing or even wetting your hair and scalp before you relax might lead to burning once you apply the chemicals, because your scalp hasn’t had enough time to “rest” since your last shampoo. No matter what your regular cleansing routine is, do not shampoo your hair for at least one week before applying relaxer.
How long should you wait between Texturizers?
One more time for the folks in the back: Texturizers are permanent. If you no longer want to commit to a texturizer, you’ll have to cut off the treated hair or wait for new hair to grow in. BTW: If you like the results, you’ll need to touch up your texturizer every eight to ten weeks at the hair salon.
