Linange Shea Butter Texturizer 16oz

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.

I've been using this product for nearly 9 months now, about once every 8 weeks, and have had NO issues with it, even though I have 3 grades of hair on my head - 3c on top, 4b on the side from right temple to behind the right ear, and 4a every where else). My hair is long - below my shoulders, soft, and extremely porous (goes straight when wet). I'd worn it relaxed for nearly 30 years, and have always had to fight to get my hairdresser to (1) section it off, use a mild relaxer, and time each section separately. The last time I had it straightened, the stylist took it all off and that's why I stopped having it relaxed 10 years ago. I don't have time to work with it, so once I'd grown it back out after the last de-hairing, I started trying what were called tried lots of 'natural hair relaxers' with variable results.When my last product went off the market (Fresh Look BodiPhier), I tried this one on the recommendation of a stylist in LA, and I LOVE it.My hair is now very easy to handle, has even curl type/texture after processing, and for the first time in my life, I don't have bald spots or breakage after processing. In the 9 months I've used it, my hair's grown and has no breakage. The key is in how you prep for processing, how you section it off, and timing, timing, timing.Do patch tests on several spots if you aren't sure, be sure to use a watch and a piece of paper to track timing for each section. Doing that beforehand will make your experience much less traumatic.If this sounds like too much trouble for you, then perhaps this product isn't for you, or you should have your stylist apply it.This is not a kit: neutralizer and conditioner don't come with, but the directions indicate it should be used with Linange Neutralizing Conditioner ONLY and Hair Mask (conditioner). I purchased those separately, as well, for after-processing, and yay! - I've found a system that works for me: my hair comes out curly (texture between 3B and 3C) all over.I learned this trick from a hairdresser who also did pageant contestants (I do my own texturizing now): he washed me 3 days before using the texturizer, with a heavily moisturizing conditioner. On the day of application he applied shea butter moisturizer on the previously texturized hair to the new growth, divided the hair into 6 sections following the texture changes on my head, and timed religiously. It took a while to finish, but my hair looked and felt fabulous after. The 3c area timed at 7 minutes, and the 4a and 4B sections at 10 and 12 minutes, respectively. I know other people have mentioned issues with over-relaxing, doing it themselves, but I found that if I don't do my whole head all at one time, I have no issues. I do half at a time when I do it myself. It's possible to stagger this across two or more weekends, by apply a heavy shea butter moisturizer heavily on the side you aren't working on.

We've been using this on my daughter's 4b/c hair for about two years, and it's fantastic to relax the texture so that it's easier to comb and doesn't shrink up at warp speed. It's never damaged her hair or over-straightened it. But...This is the first time we've ordered the product from this vendor. We always follow the same routine and are extremely careful (her stylist and I apply it as a team because she has a ton of hair) and we did half of her head at a time (we each did 1/4 of her head, washed it out, then did the same for the remaining hair), leaving it on 10 minutes without combing through. Sadly, her scalp was burned, and subsequently scabbed over, in several places. Did we get a bad batch? Quality control issue? Not sure what to do for her next touch-up. : (

I am a cancer survivor, lost all of my hair during chemotherapy. My hair finally grew back, very long, very coarse, thick, and curly. I wore it naturally for a few years, but it became coarser, and coarser and harder to style it naturally; I had to relax it. Chemo made my body hyper-sensitive so I couldn't use any hair relaxer. Did my research and found this awesome product, and I love it. It doesn't damage my hair, it makes my hair super soft and manageable, no breakage, so my hair grows. I have hair that is soft, bouncy and so soft to the touch. Best product ever.

Did not work for me, unfortunately. Not to say that it wouldn't work for someone else's hair.
