I also should’ve mentioned that straightening my hair with the texture release was so much easier! And I got a better silkier result when it was texture released! But the reaction to humidity seems the same xx
Thank you for these videos - I haven’t found anyone else on YT doing them. The comparing and contrasting for us naturals who are yet to go through these processes is so helpful! I also have a “tail” at the back, it’s the longest part, makes my afro look strange but when I have my hair slicked back in a bun it helped for length so I allow it to stay. Thanks beautiful ♥️
I got the texture release and my hair has never been better honestly. After I rinsed out step 2 my hair was already a lot more manageable. The results from straightening my hair have also never been better, and usually my hair starts getting a little fluffy when I'm outside with straightened hair but now it stays straight. I didn't even use high heat and only used 2 passes on my entire head but the results are great for me :)
@@altheadawn2531has this been your experience? I’m thinking about TR so I can actually enjoy a silk press (my hair reverts the same day)… but will only do it if I know I’ll get my Afro and natural texture back.
@@ThatCoolPickle I was going to try the texture release until I started looking at RUclips comments on several videos and people who do it every month or every few months notice they lose some of their natural curl pattern. I think that's a big No No because that means it's chemicals strong enough to break the bonds of your hair down and to take years to grow natural healthy hair and risk damaging it with this texture release chemical treatment wasn't worth the risk to me. So I decided I will just blow dry my hair or flat iron it once a month as needed so that my hair is manageable and work with my hair from there.I think that way the integrity of the hair will not be compromised because I think they are still selling a chemical process on a smart round about way with the texture release.I wish they would make something natural that makes the flat iron hair water resistant but until then I think that the texture release is not safe in my opinion.
@@altheadawn2531 thanks so much for responding! I spent a lot of time watching videos and reading comments and have come to the same conclusion tbh. I’ve been natural almost 8 years and I’m not willing to compromise just for a silk press. 🥲
You will have remaining texture release for several more months . It took a year for mine to fully revert. As your hair grows you will notice the difference between the way the root area or newgrowth reacts to humidity. The cut is a type of layered cut the stylist gave you.
Just got my first texture release thanks to you and I loveeee it🤩 It’s been almost 2 weeks and my hair even got a little wet from drizzling outside too, yet my hair is still straight and shiny af😭 All I do is small buns when I sleep and bantu knot the sections of hair that get frizzy/start to revert and it magically becomes sleek again lol. (I also add coconut oil and castor oil to thicken, shine and help with detangling/split ends) I haven’t even put heat in my hair ONCE since it I got the release and mom asks me almost every day if I straightened my hair again lol. I’m so happy and amazed Thank you💙 I’m 4A/4B btw
@@serendipitylovesya4145 I’m in New York. I just bought the texture release online and went to the best Dominican hair stylist I could find and asked her to do it for the price of a keratin treatment or something similar
@@serendipitylovesya4145 Also, apparently there are other treatments similar, with fewer steps and probably less expensive and easier to find that my stylist says I should try next time, once the texture release is out. It’s some type of Amino Acid treatment (as Avalon texture release), so I would try to do some research and find out what’s out there. Not sure what it’s called
My hair is the same. I think short in front long in back happens. I wore leave out sew-ins for 4 years of my 15 year natural journey and even when I was relaxed front was always shorter. You are not alone! And I personally think your hair looks fab straight. I never have liked my curls worn out unless in a puff. But mine looks fine curly now with the length difference. You’re gorgeous queen!
If you have coarse and thick hair no matter what you will do you will get split ends I’m a 4c hair and I deal every single time with split ends no matter what I do ! Even when the stylist cut my ends I get split ends and I wear my hair stretch all the time. It’s my hair that is like that even if I take care of them weekly I get split ends is so enjoying I feel you
The Texture release is still in my hair 6 months later 😳 What I meant was I had bone straight ends. And I never wanted a bone straight look permanently. And I had 2 different textures in my hair New growth and texture release straight ends) and it seemed to break my hair. I’ve gone back to texlaxed hair (relaxer mixed with conditioner)
That's a actual thing of mixing relaxer with conditioner to texlax your hair?? I'm almost 3 years into my natural journey and have learned the most in the last 6 months.
This is what has happened to me. I'm three months post texture release, have washed my hair every two weeks and I still have bone straight ends. Now i have a ton of new growth and loads of breakage due to managing the two textures 🤦🏾♀️ it's now like growing out a relaxer! Not worth it in my opinion. Just curious if your hair ever fully reverted?
Love your vids, you have similar hair to mine for me to retain length I had to be really careful with how I handled my hair in its natural state, wearing my hair in an afro was a recipe for tangles, single stand knots and splits, sectioning my hair before washing and steaming my deep conditioner using a facial steamer helped me a lot too
What's your hair aftercare when you have done a texture release? I.e. what products are you using between wash days to maintain hair health, or if I use a normal moisturiser (with water/aloe vera as a top ingredient) will my hair become curly again, etc. I have just done a texture release, based on your very thorough and helpful videos - thank you!
I’m getting married in Greece and I was going to get a texture release on my leave out. My natural hair really reacts to humidity but I’m so scared to get this done and it still puffs up anyway !!
I think it will be fine! Butt everyone’s hair is different soo I can’t guarantee 😮💨 maybe you could get it done and trial it at another hot country before the wedding so you know? And congratulations to you 🥳🥳💕💕
Girlfriend your hair does not look bad I think it looks healthy❤️❤️ you are your worst critic❤️❤️ just let your hair grow out a little more before cutting 😎
I'm also going to stop texture releasing. Because its made my hair easier to manage I became very lazy. My ends have go bad so I'm going to get back into protective styling. I tool the plunge to cut the back of my hair last year because i knew the longer my hair would get the harder it would be.
@@serendipitylovesya4145 Not at all. I would let my hair get unnecessarily dry. Would put my hair in a ponytail almost straight after washing and I believe this prevent leave-ins from penetrating because my hair was still wet. Then i wouldnt touch my hair until when i was next due to wash it after a week. Also I think I naturally more prone to split ends especially once my hair hits shoulder length.
Hi! Is your silk press the silk out system with the flat iron or is your hair only flat ironed? I had the texture release and hated it. I’m considering the silk out system because it is less harsh than the texture release. Let me know 😊
Your hair looks gorgeous. Question: if you have a texture release can you wash your hair without it reverting (like a few day or a week in)? I want to go on holiday and my hair will get wet. Will it go back to Afro?
Thank you 🥰 If you wet your hair it’ll revert back to Afro. But your hair texture will be a bit looser and when you restraighten it should look just as good as new
I got a texture release- worst decision ever. My hair has been shedding non stop and some breakage too. But seems like more shedding hair. I’ve tried moisture treatments and mild protein treatments. Using sulfate shampoo to rinse it out and aloe vera for scalp health to see if shedding stops soon.
I think my hairstylist put texture release in my hair without me knowing when I got it cut because the silk press lasted a long time and months after my curls were really soft. I’ve always had defined hair but even now, I haven’t had them feel or look like that.
I think a lot of stylist do this to clients hair to make it easier for them style. They are either putting stuff in our hair without our consent or ripping through it with combs. I haven’t sat in a stylist chair since Covid and honestly my hair has never been better. I just watch RUclips and do it myself.
I noticed it off camera 😫 should’ve done a video tbh! But it was very early so you couldn’t see them unless you looked at the individual hairs but I could FEEL them! when i ran my fingers through my hair the ends were so rough and the strands kept getting caught with each other 😩
@@clairedaniels1877 I’m still learning about how to care for my natural hair and what I’ve now learnt.. brushing your hair when it’s dry is a recipe for split ends 😅 so I only detangle when my hair is wet now
I dont understand the difference between the texturiser and the texture release. Can anybody help!? Want the curl pattern to stay if possible just want to make the hair a little easier to manage as matts at the root at the drop of a hat
Gosh I missed these videos! 🤍🤍🤍🤍 I’m not sure if ended up asking Thai question in your previous videos but could you please explain the difference between a texture frame as & silk press? I honestly keep getting confused between the 2. & which one’s is better ? Or rather which is best in certain situations like maybe when you want a sleek bun, when you’re traveling to a humid place etc. And which is your favorite so far? & how often would you recommend doing them ? Or how often to do you like doing them 😊 So many questions 😂 so sorry. My hair is getting longer & I’m looking forward to trying these out at some point. X
I have the same problem 😭. When I did my big chop last Summer, I cut it in that same style trying to get all the relaxed ends off and then putting it in “layers.” So when it’s straightened out, I look like MC Lyte in the late 80s lol. But since my hair is super tight and kinky in the back when it’s wet or with a twist out, etc…it looks fine in it’s curly state. Evens out nicely.
@@nucchi Lol 😂 Same here. I had long, thick relaxed hair before I decided to go natural so I want it back lol! But I am only at 2 years and 2 months since my last relaxer and 8 months since I cut off the relaxed ends so I have a while to go 😭😭
Definitely not the texture release! Its because I kept straightening my hair and over manipulating. I did a scrape back ponytail 3 times in a row all within the same time frame 😮💨 I was just doing too much lol
@@nucchi thank for responding! I was planning to invest in the steam pod you recommended, as I also like straightening my hair, but I guess the breakage will occur no matter what you straighten with!
@@ayak6317 I think as long as you don’t overdo it like me! Your hair will be fine. Remember split ends are inevitable! over manipulation will give your hair split ends faster than heat in my opinion and I was doing a lotttt. The trick is just to get regular trims done! It’s fineee
Are you sure the texture release is completely out of your hair ?Maybe the effects are still in your hair. idk Also did you mention how long your silk presses last now vs with the texture release. I'm a bit confused.
The hairdresser should have shown you the cut in the back before styling it. 🤣🤣🤣 I cannot with these salons. make sure you get another trim in 6 weeks. a trim is 1/4 inch. or do it yourself.
@@nucchi yeah the annoying thing about split ends is that they travel up the hair shaft damaging healthy hair. My hair splits very easily so I keep my hair short. If I can't get to the salon, out come my shears and I do it myself! Good luck on your healthy hair journey.
"Texture realising" just call it what it is relaxer. All this different names for the same thing. I had to Google just to make sure you was talking about relaxer. Just say that re-lax-er 😂
I also should’ve mentioned that straightening my hair with the texture release was so much easier! And I got a better silkier result when it was texture released! But the reaction to humidity seems the same xx
