Creamy crack! I love it.

Too funny :rofl: I guess I'm still an addict but have been weaning myself off texturizing for about a year but still can't let go.

1. Shoot! There I go again, unintentionally

hijacking the thread. Does anyone know why this happens? I'm sick of doing this :(

2. Have you tried contacting the admins?

Maybe you're working with multiple open screens and accidentally posting instead of replying but if not it might be an IT glitch.

6. Thanks for the advice, Jmm.

:thumbsup: I've contacted Administrator Elad Hopefully, he'll get to the bottom of this soon. I'm starting to hesitate to respond to anything because it's happens in another group that I participate, as well. Ugh!

4. I think this is DU's way of trying to get you to start more OPs of your own

:rofl:

Seriously, I have no idea how you keep doing this! It's so weird!!

[Kind of Blue]

7. Ha-ha! You are very funny, Number23.

:rofl: And you may be right. But my OPs have very short lives, they sink like a rock. And when I'm struck with brilliance :) for an OP, I know I'd have to spend a lot of time responding, time I can't afford right now, so I try to lend support to others as much as I can. But I will try harder to let my brilliance shine :rofl:

3. I'm thankful my hair never took to creamy crack.

I don't have the patience to keep up with it and I love swimming too much :D.

Except for the time a hairdresser who thought it would be a good idea to mix some with my hair dye while she snapped and went off on a xenophobic rant I only tried it a few times when I was younger. It can damage my hair but that's about it. When my brother was studying to be a machinist he started measuring people's hair with one of his tools and I had the thickest hair strands he came across. Mine was twice as thick as his and three times as thick as my mother's.

9. Lucky! Ooh, I envy you thick-haired people!

Beauticians can be scary :rofl: I've had my share of horror stories and am doing just fine on my own. Thank goodness for the internet!

5. Ok. What is 'texturizing' ????? n/t What am I missing?

[Kind of Blue]

8. Actually, I've only found it as a men's product.

It's not as harsh as a perm. For me, it's milder than the mildest perm that always eventually destroys my hair. It relaxes natural curls but not all the way so that I can wear a 'fro or straighten it easily when the mood hits me. I'm addicted to the Pro-Line creamy texturizing crack :rofl:

11. i seem to recall

of this on one of the hair boards, and women were surprised to find the ingredients of the two were almost (if not completely) identical.

maybe it's marketed as a "texturizer" as most men just want to "loosen" the "kink" of their hair to create waves. calling it a "texturizer" probably seems more male friendly than "relaxer" from a marketing standpoint.

[Kind of Blue]

12. I agree! I was just at the drug store today

and saw that it's also the same stuff for kids perms. Getting the children started early on the stuff.

10. texturizing...

...is loosening the curl (and/or kink) as opposed to relaxing until the hair is completely straight.

this can also be achieved by using a regular strength relaxer, but mixing it with conditioners and/or oils (to slow down the process). so one achieves a looser curl to their hair, as opposed to bone straight hair.
