What's the best twist cream??
Hello all,
I'm reposting this in this board. I posted it in the 4b forum by accident. Any who...
I was wondering what you would suggest as a really good twist cream for a twist out, or flat twist out that will leave my hair shiny, soft, moveable, and elongated. I am protein sensitive and my hair tends to dry out from products containing carbomer.
I have been eyeing the Donna Marie Dream Curling Cream, but I want to get your input on this as well as other products you've tried.
Thanks to all that responds!

That does work very well to define, but I want it to have a little more hold than what shea butter and oil gives by themselves.

Afroveda's Curl Define is my HG...I have achieved 7 to 10 days on my twist outs with this as my styler.
Mozeke's Babassu Twisting Cream...5-7 days
Kyra's Cupucu Curl Cream...not much hold but 2-3 days
Zipporah's VMMS and DMHC...5-7days
Njoi's butters all are great

If you don't mind my asking-
When you say 'holds for 5-7-10 days' do you re-twist at night or just pineapple? I would love for my twist outs to last that long without having to re-twist.

It really depends on you and your hair. Since I go to the gym most days of the week, I have to retwist - it also depends on the type of night I'm having. If I know I'm going to have a "mellow" night and morning w/o gym, I pineapple.

Thank you! I'm tempted to try the Afroveda, I've read many positives about the product, but not the company.

Great point, thanks! I'm training for a 10k so achieving 7 day hair would be futile anyway. Having the option would be great though.
