well it really depends. I have used each one of these on seperate occasions:bns creamy set, avada pomade, qp feels like silk, water w/ almond, jojoba oils, leave in conditioner, aloe vera gel, stay-so-fro gold among other things. For me, the key isn't what I use to twist or braid for the twistout or braid out, but how I wrap up my hair at night, and take it down in the morning. When I do that right, my twistouts and braidouts last for a little over a week, and still look good. I just get bored w/ the look, and usually it's time to wash my hair anyway. Good luck to ya.

Depends on if you are permed or natural. I just did a twist out on my natural hair. I wet my hair and added scurl to define and pop out the curls. Rave reviews today from co-workers. When I was relaxed, I did braid outs often. I would get the hair braided with setting lotion or mouse to hold the texture. I also would pulled the hair up into a high pony tail at night so it wouldn't be flat.

i have done a lot of trial and error in my braid-outs and the best thing that works for me is leave-in conditioner.
Also my hair can get very tangled in the braid-outs if i do not maintain them.So to keep my braids-outs fresh i re-braid in 4 thick plaits every night.I use biolage leave0in tonic to detangle and ntm for softness and shine.
after the braiding i secure a silk scarf around my head.In the morning it takes no time to take them out and fluff...the silk scarf really keeps the hair uniform!

My hairstylist taught me how to tease my hair when take out the corn rows. You tease it as you are unraveling it.

I just did a braid out last night. It helps if your hair is wet first. However last night I just sprayed my hair with Infusium 23 leave in and then put some shea butter on and cornrowed it into about 6 cornrows. It came out defined but not as defined as with wet hair and more cornrows. If you tie it at night with a satin scarf just fluff your hair with a little water or leave in on the morning.
