Mastering the Twist Out

Jemima says anyone can pull off a twist out. All you need is the right product, knowledge, and method. She adds that this style suits hair types between 3C and 4C best. The texture and thickness of your hair will shape the final look.

Size Does Not Matter

When asked about the right hair length, Jemima shares her view that there is no “best” length. In fact, even if your hair is just 4 inches long, you can still style it into a beautiful twist out.

Pro Tricks and Products

Jemima shares three key tips for a proper twist out. First, begin with clean, untangled, and stretched hair. She recommends blow-drying your hair for added fluff and volume.

Next, use a great foaming wrap lotion or mousse. The brands she suggests are The Doux, Design Essentials, Eden Bodyworks, and Nairobi. A tip she gives is to apply it thoroughly, make sure the hair is fully detangled, and not borrow hair during the twisting process. Being consistent is key.

The last tip she gives is to dry the hair under a hooded dryer. Let it dry for 30-45 minutes. When unraveling the twists, use an oil of choice and be gentle. After that, fluff up the roots with a pick comb, and you are good to go.

With her many years of experience, Jemima knows just how to guide you in the art of twist out. Her techniques and tips will help you to achieve a chic twist-out look, no matter your hair type or length.
