Avlon Texture Release Curl Shape & Shine Cream for Defined & Hydrated Wavy, Curly & Coily Hair 227 g/8.01 oz
Wavy, curly and coily hair all want different things from a cream, and the compromise most brands make is to go heavy so it works on the tightest patterns. Avlon has gone the other way with Shape and Shine, keeping it light enough that a 2A wave still moves while a 4C coil still gets coated properly. It is a professional line and it shows in the finish: the hold is real but not stiff, the shine is a genuine sheen rather than an oily film, and the frizz control holds through humid weather, which is the honest test in a British summer. Curls come out soft, bouncy and easy to run a hand through.
The 227 g/8.01 oz tub is the styling step in Avlon's Texture Release system, so it layers over the releasing lotion if you use the full set, or works on its own over a normal conditioner. Apply to damp hair, section by section, then shape and dry.

Application tips
Damp hair, sectioned. Take a scoop about the size of a walnut for each quarter, emulsify it between the palms, then smooth it down the section from root to end.
Shingle the front pieces if definition matters there. Air dry, or diffuse on low heat once it is about half dry. Do not comb through it after it goes on.
Results
Curls hold a clear shape with a soft finish rather than a hard cast.
There is real shine, the kind that comes from a flat cuticle rather than a coating, and frizz stays down through the day. On coils it gives enough weight to stretch the pattern slightly, which reads as length. Hair stays soft to the touch.
