Moisture Retention Methods
Moisture is the secret sauce for twist-outs that stick around all day, so I start by sealing in hydration from the roots down to the ends.
- Pre-poo with a lightweight oil blend

- Leave-in conditioner, then a lightweight gel
- Satin bonnet nightly to lock in moisture and shine
Incorporating spring twist styles can also enhance the longevity of your twist-outs while adding a fresh look.
