What is meant by "chemical texture services" in cosmetology?

"Chemical texture services" refers specifically to those services that involve altering the texture of the hair through chemical processing. This includes techniques such as perms, relaxers, and chemical waving, which change the natural curl or wave pattern of the hair. These services use chemical solutions to break down the hair's internal bonds, allowing for a restructuring to achieve a desired hair texture.

The focus of chemical texture services is on the chemical reactions that modify hair structure rather than simply styling or coloring it. This is why the correct choice highlights chemical processing specifically. Other options, while related to hair care, do not encapsulate the essence of what chemical texture services entail. Styling products primarily enhance or maintain the existing texture, hair dyeing involves color change without necessarily altering the hair’s structure, and services done without heat generally pertain to techniques that do not involve thermal tools, rather than chemical manipulation of hair texture.
