The Five Main Types of Texturizers
#1: Salt Spray
Are you ready for beachy waves just in time for summer? A salt spray may just be the perfect texturizer for you. One downside of salt sprays is that they’re so gentle that they don’t drastically alter the texture of your hair, so this type of hair texturizer works best on naturally wavy hair. For those with stick-straight hair, spray the salt spray on wet hair and then rope braid two sections and let air dry.
