Ep 10. Myths, Legend, and Language

Saison 1 · Épisode 10

mercredi 28 mai 2025 • Durée 49:13

In this informative episode of The Detangled Podcast by Avlon, Louis Driver and Jacqui McIntosh explore the often-overlooked foundation of healthy hair: the scalp. With Jacqui’s expertise as a trichologist, they take a deep dive into common ingredients, myths, and misconceptions surrounding curly and coily hair care. From decoding industry buzzwords like sulfates, silicones, alcohols, and proteins, to clarifying the importance of pH balance, scalp hygiene, and damage prevention, this episode offers a much-needed demystification of textured hair maintenance. Whether you're a seasoned stylist or someone navigating your own hair journey, Episode 10 is a masterclass in informed, science-led care.

Key Topics Covered

Scalp Health
- Why scalp care is essential to hair growth and integrity.
- Common conditions like seborrheic dermatitis, folliculitis, and fungal infections.
- The role of hygiene, product choice, and professional assessments in prevention.
- The importance of seeing a trichologist
Ingredient Deep Dive: Myth-Busting and Best Practices
- Sulphates: Often demonised, but still useful in removing heavy buildup when used appropriately.
- Silicones: Beneficial for textured hair if water-soluble and well-formulated.
- Alcohols: Differentiating between fatty alcohols (moisturising) and short-chain alcohols (drying) based on hair type.
- Proteins: Used to rebuild strength and elasticity, but require a moisture balance to prevent brittleness or breakage.
pH Balance & Product Science
- Understanding the pH scale (0–14), and why shampoos for textured hair should fall between .

EP.9 Curls, Coils and Colour

Saison 1 · Épisode 9

mercredi 28 mai 2025 • Durée 30:21

In this episode of The Detangled Podcast, co-hosts Jacqui McIntosh and Louis Driver are joined by Hannah Marcia to break down the essentials of colouring curly and coily hair. They explore the science behind textured hair, common colour myths, practical tips for stylists, and how to achieve stunning colour results without compromising curl integrity.

Key Topics Covered

Textured Hair Structure: Curls have more open cuticles, making them lift quicker—but also more prone to damage. A “lower and slower” approach helps protect the hair.
Placement & Technique: Traditional foil methods often fall short. Use visual, freehand techniques to work with the 3D nature of curls.
Warm Tones: Gold and warm tones enhance shine on curls, which reflect less light than straighter textures. Clients should be educated about realistic outcomes.
Product Choice Matters: High-lift tints, direct dyes, and bond builders offer gentle alternatives to bleach. Go in with intention—know your “why” behind every product.
Myth-Busting: Colour doesn’t automatically loosen curl patterns. Overlapping or incorrect processing causes damage—not colour itself.
Aftercare Is Essential: Moisture, protein, heat protection, and salon check-ins extend colour life and maintain curl health.
Client Communication: Transparency is key. Stylists can’t protect hair they don’t know the history of. Educate clients on maintenance and realistic colour goals.
Creating Dimension: Leaving sections out of colour is as important as what’s coloured—depth enhances curl definition and longevity.
Formulation Strategy: Consider porosity and how textured hair reflects tone. Add warmth and pigment to prevent flat, dull results.

Hero Products & Pro Tips

Louis’s Picks:

Uberliss Bond Healing Spray + Frizz Elixir: The ultimate combo for post-colour care—moisture, protection, and shine without weight.
