What you need is clean, washed hair, preferably conditioned, lots of product and lots and lots of patience. You have to comb the product, lots of it, through the hair. Of course, you can't do that all at once, you have to do it in parts.
Even if your hair isn't long enough, this is excruciatingly tiring, believe me, I've done it personally, when my hair was neck length.
When the stuff is finally really good through your hair, you still have to let it dry. That means with a towel around your shoulders because the stuff leaks of course, but that's not all. Drying frizzy hair can take hours, if it is so full of hair products, especially if you don't have a hooded dryer. If you do have a hooded dryer, drying goes faster but then the curls collapse again. Do you recognize this?
Well, all this is the reason I invented Twist Out years ago, when it didn't have a name yet. I absolutely didn't have the patience to spend hours on my hair for a kind of curly look, that only lasts half a day. When you go to sleep, the curls of course deform again and there is a chance that the hair is full of residue, if you haven't used the right products. No, for me the measure was full after one try.
Impatience seems to be a virtue in this case. Instead of letting my hair down I started twisting it. This twist out is the very first twist out that made the rounds on the internet. The photos were taken by Keston Duke in 2005.
Years later I decided to give curl definition another try. It turned out better that time and I'm glad I did. Not only did it turn out better, I took pictures. Here are the pictures from 2009.
Still, the twist out remained the winner for me: easier to make, quicker to do and longer lasting. That's how I became the twist out master.
When I developed my products, products for a perfect twist out could not be missed: Mix the Going Natural Silky Shea Hair Butter with the Herbal Styling Gel and viola, the perfect combination for twist out curl definition. Here are the videos to see variations of the twist out master. One thing is for sure, this method works! Whether you have 4C hair or more curly hair, the Going Natural products will make your curls come out to their fullest!
