KNOCKOUT TWIST-OUT TUTORIAL

For Curly, Coily & Kinky Hair

Achieving a flawless twist-out doesn’t require complicated steps—just the right technique, moisture, and patience.

Let’s create a defined, soft, and long-lasting style.

Use our MARSHMELLOW Leave-In Conditioning Cream for maximum hydration and definition!

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

• MARSHMELLOW Leave-In Conditioning Cream or similar cream.

• Styling mousse or setting foam (optional)

• Detangling brush or wide-tooth comb (optional)

• Spray bottle with water

• Sectioning clips

• Hooded Dryer (Optional for quicker drying)

STEP 1: PREP THE HAIR

Start on clean or lightly damp hair.

1. Divide hair into 4–8 sections, depending on density.

2. Apply leave-in cream evenly, smoothing from root to ends.

3. Gently detangle and re-clip each section.

Pro Tip:Hair should feel soft, hydrated, and slightly slippery—this is key for definition.

STEP 2: CREATE YOUR TWISTS

Work from the back forward.

1. Take a small section (smaller = more definition).

2. Apply a small amount of styling product (optional)

3. Add mousse for extra hold (optional)

4. Split into two strands and twist evenly to the ends

5. Coil the ends around your finger for a clean finish

Repeat until complete.

STEP 3: DRYING

Your results depend heavily on this step.

Choose one:

• Hooded dryer (best definition)

• Bonnet dryer

• Diffuser

• Air dry (slowest, softest finish)

Important: Hair must be 100% dry before unraveling.

STEP 4: UNRAVEL & STYLE

1. Apply a light oil to your hands

2. Gently unravel each twist

3. Separate for volume as desired

• Reminders:

• Decide on your part (middle, side, or no part) before beginning your twists for optimal styling results.

• Hair will shrink up to several inches while drying. This is normal.

⸻

STEP 5: MAINTAIN YOUR STYLE

At night:

• Wrap downward for definition

• Or “pineapple” for volume

To refresh:

• Lightly mist with water

• Re-twist small sections as needed

QUICK REMINDERS

• Shrinkage is normal

• Smaller twists = more definition

• Fully dry hair = best results
