Avlon Texture Release Hair Dilator: Temporary Hair Smoothing & Manageability for Natural & Textured Hair 473 ml/15.99 oz
A dilator is not a product most people have on the shelf, so it is worth saying what it does. It temporarily loosens the natural texture of the hair, making it softer and easier to handle, with no permanent chemical change to the curl pattern. Wash it out and the texture comes back.
That makes it useful in two directions. If you want a smoother, stretched look, this is the first step. If you want more curl definition, easier sectioning and less breakage during detangling, it does that too, because pliable hair takes less force to comb through. Frizz control and humidity resistance come with it, so the effect holds up outdoors rather than collapsing on the walk to work.
It is the opening stage of Avlon's professional Texture Release system, designed to be followed by the releasing lotion and then a styler. The 473 ml/15.99 oz bottle is a salon-sized quantity, which tells you something about how it is meant to be used: on full heads of thick or coily hair, generously, rather than a pump at a time.

Application tips
This is one part of a professional system rather than a standalone product, and it goes on first, before the releasing lotion.
Follow the timings supplied with the system rather than improvising them. Read the whole process through before you open anything, and test a hidden section first to see how your hair responds. Work in sections and keep the hair evenly saturated.
Results
Hair loosens and smooths temporarily, so it becomes easier to comb, stretch and style.
Frizz drops and the texture reads softer. Blow-outs take less time and hold better, and curls sit longer and looser. Because the change is temporary, hair goes back to its own pattern rather than growing out in two different textures.
Composition
The full INCI is printed on the pack. We publish it here as soon as the brand supplies it, and we will read it off the bottle for you if you ask.
