For black people, texturizing is different than just a hair cut. It is a chemical process where instead of having a straight relaxer perm, you just straighten the curl pattern of the hair to a manageable state. It works best on short to midlenght hair. An example is the mens S-Curl kits, that is a texturizing kit.
