This is the best texturizer I have ever had. My hair is so thick and hard to manage, plus I'm tender headed. It would take an entire day for my mom to do my natural hair when I was younger. After sleepaway camp and swimming, when I cane home, my mom bought my first texturizer or relaxer. Over the years I've gone between chemical and natural. Nothing truly softened and straightened my hair, until now. This seems like a strong relaxer eventhough it's a texturizer. This is amazing! I've only used it once on my natural hair of over a year.This is so far lasting longer than any chemical straightener I've ever used. If my hair stays in my head and continues to grow, I will never use a different texturizer for the rest of my life. I love this.Update: 8/11/20I'm still using this texturizer. I do it myself instead of taking it to the salon and my hair is healthy and growing better than when I did go to the salon weekly or biweekly. The only thing I haven't conquered yet is the roller set. My hair is getting thicker and longer, so hopefully I'll get there soon. Although my braids are past my shoulders now.I do use several hair lotions, essential oils and conditioners, but I did that before and it didn't maintain it's strength and would fall out.Now my hair feels healthier. Not exposing it to the elements and having to do anything to it as often due to COVID, my hair has had a chance to heal. I never thought a chemical would actually help my hair. Since my hair is thick and tightly coiled, coming would rip hair out. With my hair softened and the longevity of the treatment is amazing. I can go a couple of months before needing to do it. Anyone that knows my hair, knows a battle.I bought the giant container after buying the individual a few times.
