texturizer
Hair treatment product
A texturizer is a chemical treatment that loosens the curl pattern of tightly coiled hair without straightening it completely, creating a more manageable texture while retaining some natural wave.
In cooking, texturizer refers to additives that modify the consistency of food products.
The term also applies to tools or techniques that add texture to surfaces in art, construction, or design: She used a texturizer to give the wall a stucco finish.
