What do you use for your twists?

[sweetascocoa]

naturals and of course relaxed ladies can chime in. what product do you apply on your hair before twisting. i want to do a twist out. i have fantasia IC, ORS lock and twist gel and every product imginable. so there's a chance i have whatever you suggest. im just not sure which one to use?

 

[balisi]

Both of the products you mentioned can be used. I have also had success with Let's Jam! and Fantasia IC Thick 'N Shine, all used on wet or damp hair for best results.

i twist wet hair, so just a leave in cond & maybe a little mousse

 

[sweetascocoa]

ok. thanks. can i mix the fantasia with something like a leave in conditioner?

I don't remember what I used with my twists, but I did spray my twists with rosewater/glycerin or scurl afterwards.

I sometimes use Let's Jam on my braidouts but mainly on damp hair that has lots of NTM leave in. I also use some curl activator (scurl, right on curls, etc.)

I use a mixture of shea butter and aloe vera gel or flaxseed gel. When I use either of these my twist last longer and my scalp doesn't itch as much. I also spray my hair everyday with a spritz.

I use Miss Jessie's Buttercreme and refresh with the Cactus Leave in Conditioner.

i twist on damp hair with wild growth hair oil and hollywood castor grease and let it dry overnight . if it flattens in the morning when i removed my dorag or satin bonnet i spray with Gueye s braid spray and Organic Root stimulator's nature's shine for more shine than sheen both sprays pump my twists back to life cause they always flatten when i sleep

Barry Fletcher twist like this and their anti frizz spray. Those are the only products I use to twist my hair. I highly recommend for twists.

i usually twist on damp hair. i use giovanni leave in first because it detangles likes no ones business, and then i twist with a heavy butter pomade, i like the qhemets amla oil heavy cream or ashas naturals mane attraction. i tried shea butter but i hated it!. twisting damp gives me more shrinkage, but if i don't want as much shrinkage, i'll twist on blow dried stretched hair using a heavy butter pomade, both methods makes my hair really soft!

 

[ajargon02]

I am not into gels at all. I will use oyin whipped pudding, or asha's, or occasionally ors twist/loc gel mixed w/ shea butter. Asha's does really well as far as definition,but it's really hard to wash totally out imho. I like the whipped pudding. It's a soft hold, smells really good, and washes out easy. The photo in the corner was an old twist out that I made into a wash and go, and pulled it into a puff. Good luck to you. I just had to experment to see what I and my hair liked best

I twist my hair using Fantasia IC Gel w/Sparklelites I've gotten complitments on my twists using that stuff but I have to admit the shrinkage is off the hook when I twist on wet hair....I recently starting adding a mixture of mango butter & coconut oil to the gel when I do my twists.....verrrry nice!!

I've used the following for twists:

Just plain WATER with no other products (the best)

Blue Magic Coconut Oil Grease (2nd best)

Hollywood Beauty Olive Cream (okay)

Profectiv MegaGrowth (okay)

Citre Shine Gel (do not like gel for twists)

 

[caligirl]

My friend just twisted my hair with Carol's Daughter Healthy Hair Butter. My hair is SO shiny, I wish y'all could see it. She also twirled the ends of the twist around her finger to form a spiral curl. It held really well with the hair butter.
