    Hey Glambassadors! I have a previous video on this subject, but honestly, there was more information to cover, and I wanted to improve the quality of the video. Of course, in doing so...my camera decided to focus more on my background than me AND I wore a shirt that totally clashed with that backbround! #EPICFAIL lol BUT thankfully the information is still quality, and this video is a short one, so hopefully I won't get dragged too badly in the comments! Anyway, I hear so many lies and misconceptions about texturizers, so I decided that it was about time that someone told the truth about texturizers! That someone might as well be me!
    If you got value out of this video, one of the most helpful things you can do is click the like button! It signals to UA-cam that this is quality content (despite the obvious camera issues...whomp) and that viewers like you like content like this! If you have video requests or topics you would like me to cover, simply ask me in the comments, and I will do my best to either make a video on that, or steer you to one I've already made. Until next time Glamfam, Take care, God bless, and stay glam!!

    Video description:
    Linwood Darkis pulls back the beauty industry's lies and deceptions and talks the truth about the chemical treatment known as texturizing. Texturizing is often marketed to give buyers the impression that it is more gentle, or not a relaxer at all. Texturizers are often marketed as hair softeners, blow out kits, texture softeners, texture release systems, and many other things, but truth be told, they are all just relaxers, hair relaxers that are left in for less time. Texturized hair is not natural, it's simply relaxed, and processed for less time. That's the simple truth of the matter. I believe that consumers should not be deceived into buying products, which is exactly why I have videos like these on the Glamfam Hair and Beauty channel. The purpose of this channel is to educate people on how to simplify proper hair care, and teach them how to do hair and styling techniques. Linwood is a licensed cosmetologist and cosmetology instructor, and he teaches high school aged students on a daily basis.

      I already been doing my natural hair myself so I'm not suffering more than most. The worst thing is that I really need a profession trim because my hair is tangle city and uneven. But it does not look bad at all because I know how to care for it and I do not dye it. As I was French braiding it today I was thinking how dense it was getting. I have 4c hair. Curly coily kinky dense hair hides a multitude of sins.

    Ugh I became a victim of the Jheri curl in the Kindergarten (which just happens to be the same year my sister got her cosmetology license 😣). I got delivered from that sin & shame around 4th grade when she started giving me regular perms (equipped with scalp sores of course). I really thought that was a way of life until I went to college. I started transitioning but that is a tough process so I started perming only about 2 times a year. Then, I convinced myself that I really didn’t need the chemicals since my hair broke off regularly. The healthiest head of hair I’ve ever had is now at 40, where I wash, condition, and place in a protective style (braids usually). Periodically, I pull out the old-fashioned straightening comb. But it’s not a need-I love my natural hair and its struggles. After all, it is healthy.
    BTW: I GOT MY GLAM FAM T-SHIRT! 🤗🤗🤗

    Thanks for being so candid, clear and concise. I've been natural for 10 years. Went through some stress and lost about 85% of it last year. So I did a big chop. I hated it! I've been struggling with it daily for the past 8 months. 3 days ago I texturized it. Had I seen this video before that, I'd never have decided to do it. I was looking for greater managability. Major regret. I see another big chop in a few months. Sigh.

    When I big chopped back in 2001, I had my stylist do a texturizer. Didn't work (my hair is strong-willed like me!🤣) so my natural hair journey began. I'm personally glad it didn't work!

    • @GetGlamFam
      @GetGlamFam  4 роки тому +37

      A lot of stylists don’t do them correctly, primarily because you don’t learn how to texturize hair in cosmetology school. The only thing they teach about black hair, honestly, is how to manipulate it straight by pressing or relaxing. There are a few schools that dive deeper, but not many. I’m working hard on this channel to try and help out with that, but babayyyyy! It’s work lol!
      And for the sake of healthy natural hair, I’m glad the texturized didn’t work too! Blessing in disguise huh? 😉

    The active ingredient in a hair relaxer is: Sodium Hydroxide (Aka: Lye). They are ALL the same.
    I used that chemical to make bar soap. It is very very strong. Like liquid lava after mixed with water. That’s why relaxed hair smells burned after application.

      Taking msm helps make your hair softer. Use conditioners that soften hair. This may sound weird but I used a beard softener on my hair because it was so coarse but it worked over time. You might also want to try using a detangling spray combing your hair in the shower might be helpful as well.

    @pbronaugh5805 2 роки тому

    Hi. My 5yr old son's hair was texturized at suggestion of stylist at the salon after I expressed how tough it was to comb out/detangle and manage. He has very thick, packed "cottony" hair that sucks up moisture and often looks dry (except right after being washed). However when its wet, his curl pattern is beautiful. I can't seem to find any styling or conditioning products that work to make his hair soft, manageable, moist and have sheen. Only thing Ive tried that makes a little noticeable impact are styling products with honey. That was about 1.5 yrs ago. I'm concerned if I made the wrong choice and "messed up" his hair as it seems More coarse, More dry, More shrunken and is impossible to comb or brush unless its done while shampoo/conditioner is on (and even then he howls that it hurts 😟). He doesn't really get haircuts, (occasional lining like 2x/year) so the hair from 1.5 yrs ago is presumably still there....altogether his hair is @8 inches long when stretched out. Do I need to look at cutting most or all of his hair off in an attempt to get rid of this texturizer and so new hair can grow in?

    Speak that truth!! I'm starting to see alot of people using S curl gels and activator sprays on their hair now. #1 I thought they stopped selling that in the 90's. #2 are those products just as dangerous as the boxed chemicals?

    • @GetGlamFam

      Great question, the styling products are fine, they are just glycerin based gels/sprays. They help with moisture and achieving the wet look. Bet the gel and the spray don’t chemically alter the hair.

  • @EmorettaRobinson
    @EmorettaRobinson 4 роки тому +1

    I didn't know that about texturizers. I thought of them more as a step before a jheri curl. And I wondered if they were what I'd heard my mother talk about male black celebrities getting in the 60's? I think she called it a "process". If you look at early pictures of the "Temptations", Little Richard and Chuck Berry and even Nat King Cole you'll see what I'm talking about. I've been natural since 2013. I haven't put anything in my hair to help chemically manipulate it. But I did use a product that I was told was a good detangler. And for some reason I ended up having a sore spot in the back of my head. And that was one of my issues with relaxers. It didn't matter who did them, if they put oil or whatever on my scalp beforehand or not. No matter what they did I'd end up with at least one sore spot in the back of my head just above where my hairline ended. And that area would be sore for a week or two. I now wonder if this is an allergic reaction to something? But I'm not sure what chemical or ingredient would cause that.

    • @GetGlamFam
      @GetGlamFam  4 роки тому +2

      I had a client that had a spot in her head that was hyper sensitive like that, turns out it was a spot of psoriasis in her instance, so back when she was getting relaxers, they would always burn in that one spot.
      As far as the “process” question, that term is commonly used for any chemical treatment in the hair, some likely had curl reformers, but many back then wore relaxers and wetsets, such as finger waves and rollersets. Some did press and curls as well.
