To close Season 2, Louis Driver and Jacqui McIntosh are joined by Paul Mills, Assessment and Quality Manager at Skills England, for a vital conversation about hairdressing education, qualifications, standards and the future of the industry.

What does it take to build a career that lasts — while continuing to evolve? Louis Driver and Jacqui McIntosh are joined by Errol Douglas MBE for a candid conversation about legacy, technical excellence, mentorship and the art of hairdressing.

| S2 Ep 4 - Relax or Release? with Samantha Golding. | 27 Aug 2026 | 00:37:22 | |
Relaxers are one of the most talked-about — and misunderstood — services in haircare. In this episode of The Detangled Podcast by Avlon, Louis Driver and Jacqui McIntosh are joined by Samantha Golding, founder of SG Hair Birmingham and a chemical-services specialist with more than 30 years of in-salon experience. Together, they demystify relaxers: challenging the idea that they are automatically harsh, outdated or one-size-fits-all, and bringing the conversation back to knowledge, choice and professional expertise. Samantha explains that a relaxer is not simply a product or a process. In the right professional hands, it is a prescriptive service shaped around the client’s hair, scalp, styling goals, lifestyle and commitment to aftercare. She also explores where Texture Release may fit into a client’s journey, but keeps the focus on the detail, assessment and understanding required before any chemical service takes place. From misinformation online to scalp analysis, hair mapping, home care and the reality of maintaining a style, this is a grounded conversation about what relaxers can be — when education and experience lead the way.
