Diane: A texturizer or 'Texturizing' is a technique which leaves the hair with a slight wave and not bone straight. The results are less damaging than a bone straight relaxer. Scientifically, a relaxer should never be 100% straight. When receiving a relaxer process, the hair strands should only be relaxed or softened up to 80% - 85% straight, leaving a 20% curve with some elasticity left in the hair for additional heating tools to finish and style.

No, you cannot "strip" the perm out of your hair. A perm is called a perm because it is permanent. Therefore you would have to grow out your hair and transition to your natural hair.

For example, if you have a relaxer you know that when you let your natural hair grow in at the scalp you increase the chances of breakage.

The answer to this question is perhaps. By that we mean, if your hair is natural with no other chemicals processes done to it, the answer is probably yes. The process can be done on all lengths of hair, although it truly looks its best on longer lengths or hair where gravity pulls the hair in a downward direction, adding to a corkscrew, ringlet or crimped looking style. But there is no reason you can't start out short and grow into a longer length.
