I see a clarificatin is needed. Texturizing is when a person uses an actual
texturizer, not a relaxer, to soften/loosen the curl pattern of the hair.
The term texlax came from two words compounded: texturize and relax=texlax which means a regular relaxer, not a texturizer, is used to intentionally underprocess the hair. Much like a texturizer, it loosens the curl/wave pattern of the hair, but you still have the flexibility of wearing both straight and curly styles. It also leaves the hair fuller than relaxing bone straight. Natural2008, sounds like you're texlaxed, like me
. The processing(under) time depends on the person's hair. For me, it's 7 minutes max to avoid becoming too straight. HTH!!
ETA: to avoid breakage, a nice balance of moisture and protein is a must. This again depends on the individual's hair. Although I'm currently transitioning, in the past I could stretch my chemical processes anywhere from 4-7 months w/o breakage and excessive shedding.
