Co-Wash Day/ Twist-Out Success

So if you know me I wear my hair mostly in braid outs and buns. I couldn't do a flat twist to save my life lol. Something inspired me to attempt a twist out and it came out great. Here's what I did.


  1. Co-Washed my hair with tresseme naturals conditioner
  2. Wrapped hair in turbie twist for 30 mins
  3. Air dried my hair to 50% 
  4. Applied my Paul Mitchell The Conditioner Leave-In and my Garnier Fructis Anti-Frizz Serum
  5. Split hair into 6 sections and applied Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie and Eco Styler Gel
  6. Flat twist each section then braided the ends to make two pig tails.

My Assessment: I purchased two packets of the 1 oz because I had a feeling one wouldn't be enough. I was correct lol. I used both packets on my head. Even though it says leave it on for 7 minutes I left it on for an hour while I took a nap. Before rinsing I used my Goody TangleFix to detangle. It just glided through my hair.  When I rinsed it out it left my hair sooooo soft.  I felt like I didn't even need to apply my leave ins.

Overall I think i'm in love lol. I love the way my hair felt and its still soft today as i'm writing this review. The smell is fantastic as well. My problem is the price. It's not a product I would purchase regularly because I am a broke college student but I believe I will pick up the full size as a little Birthday gift for myself . I definitely recommend you try this product out.
