How To Twist Out in High Humidity (Long-Lasting)

[@hotbluflame2933]

Once, I worked a contract in Utah for a few months and I was rocking multi-day, perfectly-defined twist outs the whole time. But then on the way back home to Florida, I had a layover in Atlanta and my twist out went to an afro in an instant. I went in the bathroom and twisted my hair right on up during the layover.

I think its amazing our hair is so active and alive 🌳🌱. Great video, thank you for sharing

[@pleezahful]

Thank you for this. I've just moved back to the Caribbean from England and my go to style there was a twist out. All I had to do was wet my hair with water and coconut oil and twist or braid my hair and it would last days! Then I moved back and nothing was working, until I found your channel last week. Thank you thank you thank you!

[@christine1962ful]

Hi. Can you share what worked for you in the Caribbean? Leaveins, custards and gels?

[@necilya]

I would love to know what works for you too. I just moved back to the Caribbean. I’m struggling with my braid outs

[@NaturallyKayD]

I definitely need to try not completely separating my hair. I think that will help sooo much.

[@SincerelyLeshawn]

Avoid humectants and deep condition more often helps me in humidity! Great tips! That make sense to wait till you get to your destination before you take your hair for traveling especially!

[@sable7114]

What deep conditioner that you use that is moisturizing and has no protein or coconut oil hopefully or humectants?

[@veronicajohnson6393]

I live in houston and I work outside ( mail carrier) so nothing works only wash and go with a hard cast gel great tips thanks for sharing

[@123456711751]

I do everything you said in your video, I live in Georgia! I do use an alcohol free holding spray and that helps as well. You are so right Georgia is humid all year.

[@sable7114]

Can you tell us the name of the holding spray and have you heard of the Pantene air spray, not Hairspray, but air spray. Wonder if that works as far as keeping the humidity out?

[@123456711751]

Sable 711 I use one by Mazani and chi that I got at ultra that are humidity blocks. I bought them at ultra.

[@KylaGrace]

I lived in Georgia most of my life and it is wasnt humid all year. Especially after moving to south Florida... unless you live in a swampy area?

[@CC.H]

These tips are so so Good!...Video saved. And ur Hair is Gorgeous....Beautifully styled! 😍😍😍Thanks much!😘

[@clemsongirl226]

I use gel and avoid humectants, for twistouts. However I mainly wear wash n goes when is super humid because it doesn't cause a lot of frizz as long as I use a gel with a hard cast

[@LoveNaisa]

Yup exactly

[@JoyDejaKing]

This hair and makeup look is beautiful on her. Very lovely!!

[@earljoi14]

Great, great tips. I live in Louisiana and although I knew to be mindful of humectants, I never considered your other tips. 👍🏽

OMG!!! Your hair looks amazing! and you are glowing!!!

[@milissarichards9369]

Your hair is looking amazingly awesome. Thanks for the information and advice. Yes has always.

[@naturallykool]

Great video and great tips. I live in a part of TX that is dry and I for sure keep my hair in twist when in Houston. My hair loves the humidity, for the short time of my visit. Looking forward to your twist out video. Tfs💜

[@karenreeves1240]

Since the mid-Atlantic states experience all four season, it may not be considered a humid climate, but I know the dew points have been upwards of 70 this summer and that is no joke. I pull out my non-glycerin gels to use during the summer months. Even though I do not do twist outs, this was still valuable information. Thank you.

[@GardeningwithBernie]

Can’t wait for you to post the demo for this twist out! Your information is on point as per usual and the hair has me gasping, love you and your content.

[@Doc_McStuffins]

The best humidity I've ever experienced was in Lima, Peru during our summer and their winter. It's on the coast of the Pacific, and although it never really rains there (it's technically a desert), the air is constantly saturated with water at 80-90% humidity, but it's *cool* outside in the 50s or so, so there's no drying from heat, just moisture. I swear my 4z hair had never been softer, more manageable, pliable, and moisturized. I still look longingly at pics of my no longer achievable big, fluffy, moisturized-for-days twist outs that plumped out and transformed to my own beautiful texture like a WNG! I can't achieve that here in dry a$$ Virginia. Neva!

[@jai7184]

Very good and useful tips ! Makes scientific sense .. As always TFS !! Sorry I missed the live

[@tangie7]

I used these techniques whenever I was stationed on the east coast and we visited home down south to Alabama. It really does make a big difference. I’m now stationed in Louisiana with the same humid, drop of dime rainy weather as Alabama . I was already prepared....and yes it is humid all year long 😢 Your hair is cute!!🥰Thanks for sharing 😃

[@michellemorris4530]

Agree with all your tips, I learned my first natural hair summer that I live in Houston and the summer humidity here will ruin a lot of styles without a very good base. I am finally at a great place with my wash n style, I do however wear my hair in braids most days in the week as I have often mentioned, when it is out I will wear the wash n style. I did use the Paul Mitchell serum once during the summer didn't do bad at all. Looking forward to the video, maybe I will do a twist or braid out before the weather change fo whatever season it wants to, certainly not according to the charts!

[@taneishajohnson3790]

Hair looking good. Will be watching out for the video on Sunday.

[@zilishamcgriff9371]

I am soooo glad that you did this video!! I live in south Georgia and visit Florida often (Tampa area) and I just tend to do more protective styling during our high humidity months because as you stated I will have a beautiful twistout and then step out side only to have it shrink 2 sizes down! And given the fact that I am already sweating as well and on top of that the humidity I just give up on twistouts or braidouts until the fall seasons when its somewhat less humidity....So thanks for this video and I am looking forward to the next one!!!

[@psr076]

Those were great. I'll keep them in mind when I go back to Florida.

[@lealeaj1096]

Your hair looks GREAT in this video!

[@sophiah4315]

my best twistout ive had to date was smaller twists using shea moisture manuka honey creamy leave in paired with proclaim jbco gel oil. it lasted for about 4 days, but got rained on with this fla rain... so much moisture and definiton... i dont even do twistouts but was being lazy taking my twists down.

[@ALove4Me]

This rain has no consideration for our need to maintain our hairstyle🙄

[@zendresanders553]

That leave-in works for me, too. I just don't like the packaging. I used it on a wash-and-go under gel. Results were amazing!

[@sophiah4315]

@@zendresanders553 i hate the packaging too. I water it down a lil and put it in a different container. But my hair loves it which is why i still use it.

[@zendresanders553]

@@sophiah4315, genius! I'm gonna have to try that!!! How did you get it all out of the bottle? And thanks for mentioning it, because it's reminded me to revisit it. It smells divine. 🙂 As it's available on the ground and works well, it's definitely worth seeing if I can deal with the packaging.

I live close to the coast of South Carolina so the summer humidity is off the charts. Through trial and error I have learned most of the tips, but, I did not know about the propylene glycol. Thanks for that suggestion!!!

[@sable7114]

I live in South Carolina as well and have low porosity hair. Mind sharing some of your tips that might be something in addition to what's been shared here. I've never tried a wash and go, how are you styling your hair?

[@Tonia682]

@@sable7114 hey! Actually most of the tips that were given here are what I use for my hair. I'm low porosity also. My hair loves glycerin but in the summertime I use products that are low and glycerin such as Camille Rose. I wear my hair in twist outs that end up looking like a puff no matter what I do cuz of humidity LOL. I keep saying I'm going to try a wash and go but I'm scared of the tangles

[@allymoss7211]

I have a question can you use oil while using a strong hold gel? Will is ruin the gels hold when you do your twist out ? I stay in Louisiana and it’s humid alll the time even the cold

[@honey7808]

What product did you use

[@ALove4Me]

Check back Sunday

[@Simply_Mimi1017]

Is this a stretched twist out? You got some length girl! I tend to be a twist out girl because I twist my hair and leave it for the week however since I have fine low-to-normal density hair my ends always look so stringy. I actually prefer how my hair looks with a Bantu knot out but sleeping in Bantu knots or just rocking them...I can’t. Thanks for the tips! I live in just a hot dry state Cali baby

[@ALove4Me]

Yes, I stretched the twists the naptural85 way

[@sable7114]

Okay so do you have a water soluble silicone that you can recommend? I kind of felt I need silicone would help because my hair would do the same thing with a relaxer and I suspected a stylist was using something different and my friends notice that my hair was in shrinking up with the relaxer she actually put something on it when she was blow-drying and I never flat ironed. So it is silicone. I had a silicone-based heat protectant for minimal blow-drying so would you say that I can just rub that on my hair after setting with gel or I'm probably doing something wrong in place of jail is what I should say?

[@ALove4Me]

Yes, I usually just apply the silicone after the gel.

[@tracymoore4056]

I'm going to Florida next week and I want to do a twistout. I'm thinking about using Oyin handmaid For leave in and wetline extreme gel. What do you think? Any other product suggestions? Thanks for your help!

[@ALove4Me]

I would use foam/mousse
