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.
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!
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!
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.
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?
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.
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
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💜
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 😃
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!
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!
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!!!
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.
I think your hair looked amazing in this video‼️ Probably my favorite yet‼️ I am protective styling until winter primarily for growth my hair in summer is a battle.
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.
@@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.
@@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 guess you mean you're using some sort of cream? As a thicker moisturizer? What exactly please? My hair is shocking the heck out of me this summer, just feels dry and brittle, help!
@@windlillylawson3944 so I think you're saying that is the moisturizer that you use, I've not seen that one but we'll try it if it holds a twist out or braid out for you.
Hi I live in Florida and since most styling creams contain glycerine do you have or know of what brand does not contain glycerine to achieve a lasting twist-out?
@@monicafrazier186 I use products with humectants but my twist only last 2days tops. Want something that will last at least 4days. I wash and leave my twisted for 2-3days and wear out 3-4days, but have to retwist nightly.
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
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!!!
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?
@@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
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
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'm back for my trip, your tips worked great. Thank you so much. I had my wig packed for backup but I didn't need it. Thanks again for all you do.
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?

Hi. Can you share what worked for you in the Caribbean? Leaveins, custards and gels?
I would love to know what works for you too. I just moved back to the Caribbean. I’m struggling with my braid outs
I think its amazing our hair is so active and alive 🌳🌱. Great video, thank you for sharing
I definitely need to try not completely separating my hair. I think that will help sooo much.
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!
What deep conditioner that you use that is moisturizing and has no protein or coconut oil hopefully or humectants?
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
Great, great tips. I live in Louisiana and although I knew to be mindful of humectants, I never considered your other tips. 👍🏽
These tips are so so Good!...Video saved. And ur Hair is Gorgeous....Beautifully styled! 😍😍😍Thanks much!😘
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.

Sable 711 I use one by Mazani and chi that I got at ultra that are humidity blocks. I bought them at ultra.
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?
This hair and makeup look is beautiful on her. Very lovely!!

Those were great. I'll keep them in mind when I go back to Florida.
Very good and useful tips ! Makes scientific sense .. As always TFS !!

Hair looking good. Will be watching out for the video on Sunday.
I live in south florida and the only tip I have is find a good gel and dont be afraid to use it.
Your hair looks GREAT in this video!
New subscriber so now I don't know if I'll be able to find today's video on how you did the twist out.
It will post tomorrow
Very informative video. Will save this one too for reference! Thank you!👍🏽

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

@@ALove4Me :D
Very informative video! Thanks for the tips.
I just use a thicker moisturizer and no oil. Worked wonders for me😁😁
I guess you mean you're using some sort of cream? As a thicker moisturizer? What exactly please? My hair is shocking the heck out of me this summer, just feels dry and brittle, help!
@@sable7114 I use mielle souffle
Let me know how it turns out
@@windlillylawson3944 so I think you're saying that is the moisturizer that you use, I've not seen that one but we'll try it if it holds a twist out or braid out for you.
Very nice tips i enjoyed the video 🤗🤗❤
Detailed video! This video is very helpful! By the way, your Twist Out is looking nice and defined! TFS!
Loving your twist out!
Thanks for the great information
Thanks for the tips and I love your TWIST OUT ‼️
Thank you for the tips!
This is so helpful! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi I live in Florida and since most styling creams contain glycerine do you have or know of what brand does not contain glycerine to achieve a lasting twist-out?
Camille Rose has several
@@ALove4Me thank you I love her Almond Jai, I was also told Qhemet Biologics is good in humid climates.
I really like the Curls Dynasty twisted definition cream.
@@monicafrazier186 I have that one , but it has Manuka Honey which is a humectant, right.

Thanks for coming
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!
I would use foam/mousse
@ALove4Me I'm back for my trip, your tips worked great. Thank you so much. I had my wig packed for backup but I didn't need it. Thanks again for all you do.

Yes, I usually just apply the silicone after the gel.
Yes
What product did you use
Check back Sunday
Taiwan is humid all year. My twist out won't stay. I will try to untwist when I get to work just to see if it lasts. Fingers crossed. 🤞
Good luck!
Gang gang
Tell them girl... Folks be saying it' s so humid. I'm like where?
