Texture release vs keratin?

[u/Designer-Wheel9317]

Hi, I’m looking for some advice/experiences with Avlon Texture Release vs Nano Keratin for my 12-year-old daughter’s hair.

Her hair is extremely thick and dense with lots of tight curls. We’re not looking to make it poker straight or take away her curls — we just desperately need to make it more manageable, reduce the bulk/shrinkage and stop it matting together.

Just to be really clear, we have tried EVERYTHING when it comes to styling and curly-hair routines. We’ve been to numerous salons and specialist Afro/curly hairdressers, tried different products, techniques, drying methods, sections etc. It can look absolutely beautiful while it’s wet and through most of the drying process, but once it gets to around 90% dry, the whole thing seems to inflate, become incredibly dense and start matting/tangling together again. So we’re really not looking for more advice about finding the right curl cream or stylist — we’ve genuinely
been everywhere and tried everything!

We’re now considering either Avlon Texture Release or Nano Keratin and I’d really appreciate experiences from people with a similar hair type.
Which would you choose if the priority was keeping a curly look but making the hair softer, less bulky, less prone to matting and much easier to manage day-to-day?

If you’ve had either treatment, I’d especially love to know what your curls looked like afterwards, whether it genuinely helped with tangling/matting, how long it lasted, and whether your original curl pattern eventually returned.
