I don't have anything to add. Just wanted to say HI.

He should have been at the meetup if he had questions.

I've used the ORS Lock and Twist Gel. It's pretty good. If you use too much you'll get little white thingies though. Also, What about fantasia gel? A little bit should do the trick since you said he already has a curl pattern. A little bit of leave in conditioner might do it too.

I was thinking the same thing about the Fantasia IC gel....maybe you can twist his hair then take it out the next day for a twistout.

thanks mucho.
we'll try the I-C gel too.
do you think that will help the twists stay in?
problem is - he likes to co-wash everyday so its been growing very well - but when it gets wet (even without conditioner) the twists come out.
he's getting

Tell your SO welcome to OUR world ....if he co-washes everyday then he might want to try putting rubberbands on the ends of his twists, co-wash then take the rubberbands off. His twists should be ok.

I use Jane Carter Nourish and Shine after aloe vera gel when I twist DD's hair. My DH loves the smell.
