TEXTURE RELEASE JOURNEY UPDATE | Q&A, Pro's and Con's, is it really worth it? Fine 4C hair

[@ShamaneBerkeley]

What licked me in this video was the “what are you protecting if you never wear it out” I ABSOLUTELY HEAR ITTT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

[@_motheringinstyle]

It’s the truth!! 🤣

[@micazanele]

Such a useful and relatable video! I did a texture release back in January and have found that it has made my hair SO much more manageable and less breakage which means I've retained so much length and feel like my hair is actually growing now! Agree that it's not really humidity proof- I'm going to try combining it with the colour WOW humidity protector to help my straightened look last for longer, but i CAN say that when i do do twistouts, although they'r not 100% frizz proof, they last much longer before complete reversion and the volume is actually quite nice!

[@_motheringinstyle]

I’ve just started using the Colour Wow, I’ve only used it once so I can’t really tell yet if it works! I need to try a twist out and see how it turns out, I haven’t done that yet!

[@daniellescott477]

So what causes the Texture to release?

[@permfree261]

Oooh glad you mentioned this. Ive wanted to combine the 2...i just found out about it

[@YoungDymisty]

​@@daniellescott477 as far as I know it opens the cuticle and changes the bonds.

[@pbrown6769]

What cream do you use if not oils ?

[@JB__.]

I have had a texture release and I will defo be going back for my second one, my hair is more manageable on wash days. I love my texture release, my hair is growing.. I'm hoping this time next year I will see some real progression with length and thickness :) There's no harm in trying, so go for it :)

[@Tionaintown876]

How omg what’s your hair type and how is your hair holding up? 😊

Your hair? Chile please, lol. Aint nooobody looking at your hair with that BEAUTIFUL face and BEAUTIFUL dark skin, OMG!!!! Of course your hair is lovely too, Sis 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💕💕💕

Aww thank you 🙈 ❤️

[@TheHypeMaam444]

Welcome!!!!

[@Anneblakable-uv9ht]

Thank you for the transparency! I got a texture release last week and have also been surprised at how it reacts to humidity, and I am not even on holiday abroad, still in the U.K lol! Don't regret it though because I got it for manageability purposes and even though I haven't washed it out, I am looking forward to this new journey :)

[@_motheringinstyle]

Same! I definitely expected the humidity blocker aspect to be more effective but same, it’s definitely made a huge difference in how easy it is to manage my hair so for me it’s so worth it!

[@onyxmadeababylp1192]

Hi! I chose to have the texture release after watching your videos (and a few other’s). Thank you for all your thorough information. I have loved it so far. It has been four months and the overall condition of my hair has improved drastically. I definitely baby my hair now more than I did before, but I have so much growth. It definitely helped me with preventing fairy knots. I had a similar issue with my hair not staying straight with my first process, but a really good trim and a good regimen of alternating moisture treatments with hair building treatments helped stop that. For me it was the right choice. Thanks again for your videos!

[@opalopulent5194]

Thank you, this series was extremely valuable for me as I too have fine natural hair and your experience provides me with the information I require to make an informed decision, very grateful, much love 💕

[@_motheringinstyle]

Ah I’m so glad you found it useful! Thanks for watching ❤️

[@hg3895]

The texture release stayed in my hair but i didn't mind either having said that some people damaged their hair by getting it done twice (their texture ended up loosening too much!). I've avoided this by using hair botox on my roots at home as a touch up. Also I began heat training from the roots. My hair is still type 4 but maybe went from 4b to 4a. Just sharing this to those considering the texture release. I prefer hair botox on my fine strands.

[@_motheringinstyle]

I’ve heard a few people say this but I had never heard of hair Botox before! I need to research it and see if I should try that next!

[@kmj2000]

is Hair Botox the name of the brand?

[@jelis42]

Which hair Botox do you use?

[@kiwanacabrera366]

@kmj2000 Hair botox is a term for a hair treatment that conditions and coats hair with fillers like keratin and collagen to repair damaged and broken hair fibers. This can help make your hair look healthier and thicker while also providing strength and protection from future damage.

[@bacl4487]

I’m really glad you mentioned the dry scalp and flakes. I was deciding whether I should look into a texture release but from this video I don’t think it’s much different from the Keratin treatment I got. I had the same exact problems with my scalp and ears about 8 weeks after my keratin treatment. Which is the typical skin cycle turnover. Though I don’t think it would be been as bad had I washed my hair earlier. However, I loved the treatment. My hair was a lot stronger, moisturized and much easier to detangle but the curl pattern was the same. For now, I think I prefer the keratin because I can control the amount of processing that my hair goes through with the heat versus a texture release. I only allowed them to do ONE pass with the straightener before washing it out and going to my silk press. You can probably do more depending on your hair texture but I really didn’t want to change my hair.

[@_motheringinstyle]

Yes definitely if the Keratin treatment works for you then it's probably better to stick to that! My dry scalp was pretty bad but like you said, after washing and giving it a few weeks it went back to normal xx

[@zoesway5036]

That’s crazy, my hair was excellent in the humidity! Even when it rained a tiny bit my hair was still straight and I went to the same salon as you

[@zoesway5036]

I can relate to you when you said wearing your hair out more makes you take care of it!

[@_motheringinstyle]

Ooo that’s interesting, maybe it depends on the original texture of your hair? Mine does not want to stay straight if any water gets near it 🙈

[@1985gardenia]

Mine either, humidity puffs it up.

[@_motheringinstyle]

@@1985gardenia same!

[@newid10]

Your hair is so similar to mine. My hair really doesn’t like to stay straight at all. The slightest humidity makes it puff up. It’s also fine and as well and knots constantly during the wash day process

[@kiathevixxen]

You’re sooo freaking gorgeous😩🙌🏽👏🏽😍♥️ where’d you get that necklace from btw it’s so pretty!!

[@Appleboo222]

You’re so gorgeous and your hair looks so nice and healthy! I want to give this a try my hair always gets frizzy after I straighten it even in the UK winter and I need a good trim

[@nikkib898]

Great video. Yes I’d love to know your current routine and the products you’re using on both you and your daughter since you’re no longer using oils x

Always! Let me know if there is anything you would like to know/see! Thanks for watching ❤️

[@misscdrabaybee]

@@_motheringinstyle thanks so much, will do!

[@jazzip]

I ordered the kit. I live in a high heat, high humidity climate 365 days of the year. My twist outs last 2 days if I’m lucky, the heat bakes and dries my hair. For the past 2yrs I’ve been wearing protective styles and now I just wear my hair in twists. I want more versatility with my hair and was strongly considering light heat training. I will try this. All I want to be able to wear twist and braid outs.

[@_motheringinstyle]

Ooo let me know how it goes, I hope it works for you!

[@mimi831711]

Loving the intro! Your hair has really grown, great progress. Also on days you don't want to straighten your hair but also don't want to wear a wig, you could do a bun or use a faux ponytail; that would look so good on you 😉

[@_motheringinstyle]

Thank you! Yes I totally forgot to mention I have been wearing my hair back in a bun a lot, especially now that it's grown and I can tie it up mire easily! I really want to try a ponytail, I think I'll do that next! x

[@AlwaysLearning2024]

I got a texture release over a year ago and experienced my hair changing to due to the humidity blocker not being effective as well and I had to also straighten my hair daily. Looking back I liked how my hair would become bigger/wider but just wished my hair was longer. I don’t think the texture release is as good for 4c hair as advertised but I’m sure as our hair grows it will be easier to style etc

[@sandyr1634]

Thank you so much for this honest video. Very helpful!

[@olufunkejohnson1510]

You are so pretty,your skin is soo fine ...i just got texture release it's 6days now....i feel like im living a delicate life especially in the bathroom...lmao. What products are you using ..?

[@nikkistone-richards4789]

Excellent review & she looked gorgeous too

[@eyekandy3000]

I have fine thin hair and I don’t recall the hairdresser using a lot of passes- maybe 2. But I’m having breakage and shedding 😞 story of my life. Thought I’d finally found a treatment where I could enjoy my hair

[@MsQueendp]

Sorry to hear! Have you looked at your vitamins and diet to see if that is a cause?

[@kelemogotsi5309]

Maybe get the RevAir to make sure you avoid heat damage...? Also, were you 100% happy with the stylist who did your texture release?

[@_motheringinstyle]

I haven’t tried the RevAir, I’ll have to check that out! Yes I was really happy with Andree Marie, I’ve been back for trims/treatments since and I always leave happy with my hair!

[@MsQueendp]

Love your vlog! Did you wrap your hair at night?

[@niageefi]

Hi, I've recently started the texture release journey and I am living it. What creams do you use in your hair? Thank you

[@_motheringinstyle]

My favourite is the Double Butter Cream from As I Am, just a small amount so your hair doesn’t get greasy but I find it really moisturising. The light crème from Affirm is also really good xx

[@Lizzeshade]

First off your stunning! Subbed 🫶🏾

[@_motheringinstyle]

Aww thank you so much and thanks for subscribing!

[@Mizzanonymousx]

Did you put any protectant on your scalp like vaseline or anything like they do for relaxers ?

[@Thehouseoftatum]

Have you tried pin curling the front to give it the body? Pin curls give almost too much body for me cause I don’t like short hair on me and the pin curls give it a tight curl

[@_motheringinstyle]

No I haven’t actually, but I’ll def give it a go cos I’m sure it’s more comfortable than rollers!

[@judith460]

Love the necklace Thank you for your review I'm still thinking about it

[@_motheringinstyle]

It’s definitely worth considering all the options!

[@darceyderosa2426]

Have you tried rollersetting? Also, use Head and Shoulders ❤

[@goddesslingerie5767]

Hi, i had a texture release done last week for the first time. How long before i will need to do my second one?

Voice is beyond annoying

[@Anonymousgirlie480]

You had the option to not listen to her ….

[@china.2816]

Yes my hair growth is very evident at all times because I keep it stretched/straight; definitely promotes length retention 🩵 I just use very good heat protectant and only use heat when my hair was just washed.

[@georgiag6851]

Hey what products do you use? Xxxx

[@china.2816]

@@georgiag6851 Hey 👋🏾 I use different shampoo and conditioners/treatment but my favourite is always Aussie moisture especially their 3 minute miracle. Then when it’s clean and washed out. I only use Revlon Uniq One, it’s a leave in and heat protectant. I blow dry and most of the time straighten after. At the moment I go for cuts every 3-6 months. I’ve been trying to maintain a bob for a year but it grows so fast, so I get regular cuts at the moment. My hairdresser who cuts my hair also only uses Revlon Uniq One on my hair, I got the idea from her and it works for me. I don’t really add anything else to my hair after if it’s straightened but it’s preference based. My rule is never add heat after wash day. I have 4c hair if that helps also Xxx

[@_motheringinstyle]

Ooo thanks for sharing, I will definitely try that one! I need to be more disciplined and only straighten on wash day too 😩 I find my hair starts to looks a little frizzy and I end up straightening it a bit again 🙈

[@china.2816]

@@_motheringinstyle I know what you mean, I get tempted to add heat but it’s not worth the anxiety 😩 Because its getting warmer in U.K. now I’m going to try the Color Wow dream coat humidity resistant spray ( after I spray my unique one) and will see how my hair reacts. Another tip to stop frizz. I add a TINY bit of Gummy styling wax to my hand and lightly dab it on my hair before I go out and it really helps. I only do this if I’m going out in the evening and want to make sure I don’t look like a mad woman leaving a party 🤣 I’ve done it for concerts etc and my hair doesn’t puff - No gel as it’s water based. I wash my hair shortly after as of course it can change the texture but still looks the same (it still moves etc as long as it’s a little bit of wax) Xxx

[@_motheringinstyle]

@@china.2816 same, I’ve ordered the Dreamcoat because I’ve seen some great results on other people online so I’m hoping that will be a game changer for me! Will definitely try the wax tip out too, thank you xx
