Hair Texturizers

Hair Texturizer Ingredients 

Description: a hair texturizer is a product designed to change the structure of naturally curly hair so that the curls become looser and more manageable. This is similar to relaxers, however, where the main function of a texturizer is to loosen the curls, a relaxer will completely straighten the hair. Texturizers loosen hair by weakening proteins in the hair and absorbing the oils. This also results in a refreshed hairstyle and more volume. A texturizer is a cream, spray, powder, or gel that is applied to the hair. The result of the product depends on the type of hair. 

Trends and Ingredients: Sodium hydroxide is one of the most common active ingredients in texturizers. Antioxidants and emollients are also known for their soothing and moisturizing properties, and are also regularly used in texturizers. IngreCore’s product range for hair texturizers includes Polyquaternium 11PE and IngreCarbomer 380. Another ingredient for texturizers is D-Panthenol75, which provides moisturization and humectant properties leading to increased elasticity, moisture and shine.
