📌 How I Get My Twist Outs So Defined Every Time 👀✨
✨ HOW I DO MY FAMOUS TWIST OUT ✨
Y'all ask me all the time how I get my twist outs so defined, soft, and moisturized, so here's the full breakdown 👇🏽
🧴 STEP 1: START WITH CLEAN HAIR
* Wash hair thoroughly
* Apply leave-in conditioner while hair is still damp
* Pay extra attention to the middle of my hair since that's my coarsest area
* Let my hair dry completely overnight in twists
💦 STEP 2: RE-DAMPEN THE HAIR
The next day, I do a quick rinse in the shower just to dampen my hair.
* Not soaking wet
* Just enough moisture to make it easier to work with
Then I gently towel dry.
✂️ STEP 3: SECTION THE HAIR
I separate my hair into 4 sections:
* 2 in the front
* 2 in the back
I make sure the middle section gets enough attention because that's where my texture is the thickest and most stubborn.
🖤 STEP 4: PRODUCT APPLICATION
For each section:
* Thoroughly comb through the hair
* Apply Murray's Beeswax Natural Loc Holding Cream from scalp to ends
* Follow with African Pride Shea Miracle Twist & Loc Smoothie
* Comb through again to evenly distribute the products
This combination gives me the moisture AND hold I need without my hair feeling crunchy.
✨ STEP 5: BRAID & ROD
Depending on the look I'm going for:
* I either braid the hair all the way down
OR
* Braid halfway and use a flexi/cold wave rod on the ends
This helps create extra definition and keeps the ends looking good.
⏰ STEP 6: LET IT DRY
I don't sit under a dryer.
I usually let my hair air dry for several hours or overnight.
Patience is the hardest part, but trust me... it's worth it.

From my personal experience with twist outs, patience and the right product combo truly make a difference. After learning the importance of starting with clean hair and a good leave-in conditioner, I found that re-dampening the hair slightly the next day makes styling much easier and helps products penetrate better. I particularly love sectioning my hair carefully and paying extra attention to thicker or coarser parts; this ensures every strand gets the moisture and hold it needs. One game-changer for me was using a combination of a beeswax-based cream followed by a moisturizing twist smoothie. The Murray's Beeswax Natural Loc Holding Cream offers excellent hold without the dreaded crunch or stiffness, while the African Pride Shea Miracle Twist & Loc Smoothie provides nourishing moisture and softness. It’s essential to comb through thoroughly after each product application to evenly distribute them and avoid clumping. Also, incorporating flexi rods or cold wave rods on the ends after braiding partly helps to create more defined curls and maintains the style longer. I’ve found that air drying my twists overnight yields the best results—though it requires patience, the definition and softness afterward are well worth the wait. Lastly, I suggest experimenting with your own hair texture and preferences because every head of natural hair is unique. Some may require more product or longer drying times while others may prefer different rod sizes for curl definition. But overall, this routine is a reliable foundation for anyone looking to enhance their twist out definition, softness, and moisture retention.
