I have been admiring some
gorgeous twist-out on Instagram lately and decided to give it a try. I carried out my usual wash day but used Fruit of Earth Aloe Vera Gel to help define my twist-out. I started on the right hand side of my
head and realized the twist were extremely loose and didn't know how to tighten
it. I figured it will turn out as a loose wave and I was fine with that. Can you believe when I got to the last two twists
I figured out how to flat twist tighter.
Since I used gel and my hair was starting to get hard, I didn't bother
to re-do all the twist.

By the time I got home my
hair was like a poof ball 9 hours later. My ends were as dry as the Sahara desert. I grabbed my Elasta QP Olive Oil & Mango Butter to give my ends some life and sealed with coconut oil.

During my wash-day I experienced some breakage when detangling, that’s why I hardly
wear these types of styles. I'm not giving up on perfecting this hair style.
Have you tried flat twist-out yet?
Be inspired…
I love the texture I get from braidouts and twist outs. It still looks pretty good 9 hours later, throw it in a cute faux bob and there you go!
ReplyDeleteThanks Harlem, that's a great idea @ faux bob
DeleteI am not a twistout kinda girl. I tried it once or twice but I much prefer the texture & definition I get from my braidouts.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree braid outs gets better definition

Definitely going to give it another try, thank you.
DeleteHi Tomi, I'm sorry you experienced breakage. I did as well this wash day. Your hair turned out nice, with some good wave to it. You'll knock it out the park next time....I'm sure of it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement Jay!
DeleteIt looked really great at first. Can I use the green aloe very gel too? My twist outs don't last either.
ReplyDeleteI think i'll use Eco-style gel next time
DeleteIt really doesn't look bad 9 hours later chica! Shoot---My twist outs don't even make it that far! Besides the aloe vera gel, what were your other leave ins?

Thanks KLP! My ususal leave-in's of Aussie Moist Conditioner and Herbal Essences Split End Protector and seal with oil or serum.
DeleteI use to do flat twist outs all of the time and loved them! Next time, try doing a double layer of twists in the back instead and do Bantu knots instead of rollers. Works for me!

Thanks Bree, will look into that next.
DeleteDude, these are always a failure for me. Maybe my hair is not thick or long enough. It always looks so good on youtube on other ladies but when I do it, I am so not impressed. Try bantu knots those always seem to work for me
