I texturize my own hair. I have tighter curls up in the top than every where else.
This is my technique;
I use Hawaiian Silky Lye relaxer, and texturize.
Here is a post I did for someone who wanted the technique:
I am at just below BSL and have done my own relaxers for YEARS!
I make four sections, since my hair is so thick I have to divide each of those sections in half.
I do a loose two strand twist with each of those sections, (making sure that the newgrowth itself is not twisted) put nutralizer shampoo on the ends, this keeps the relaxer from effecting anything you don't want it to, and secure. I then start to put in my relaxer on one twist at a time starting with where I have my tightest curls (front,middle). I do not take down the twist before I apply the relaxer. The twists are very loose and secured only on the end loosely with ouchless bands. I work reallly carefully and fast. (I only texturize.)
Once I have finished applying relaxer to the new growth, I take down the loose twists,
(this method really works to keep from getting the relaxer on the ends and to keep longer hair from tangling if you are doing it by yourself). I shed very little hair applying it this way.
I then nutralize shampoo until all the "pink" has turned white and then do it once or twice more (yes, I am paranoid). Then I condition.
I hope some of this will help.
