4 Best Hair Twist Products 2023 | For Natural, Defined Twist Outs

Here are some top hair twist products for 4c hair and other natural hair textures. Using these even beginners can create two-strand twists, flat twist out and Senegalese twists. 

Twists are super common with naturals, and with the natural movement, there is a lot and a lot of twisting of hair. You can create twist out, twists, flat twist, and even flat twist out, and you can make them on both your dry and wet hair. 

The twists style is deceptively simple. All you would have to do is part equally two sections of your hair and twist or curl them around one another until you reach the very end of their length. 

Adding to that, as far as other natural hairstyles are concerned, these look easy too, but it is one of the most difficult hairdos to execute. 

And speaking from a very personal experience, there’s nothing that makes you feel worse than investing your time into making those twists only for them to turn out as definition less and puffy. 

To help you get those twists, there are a lot of products available now in the market, and honestly saying none are perfect. But the one that will go along your curls and satisfies your needs are the best ones. 

Keeping that in mind, I have made a list of the best hair twist products that might help you, too, to go a long way with your hair twists.

How I Tested The Best Hair Twisted Products?

As there are numerous products in the market and going through each of them is nearly impossible, that’s why I chose from the most popular brands out there and then narrowed the list down to just four on the basis of the following criteria. 

Longevity- 

The first thing I went on was how long the product is holding my twists in place, as it is one of the major reasons why you are using these products in the first place. 

Moisturizing- 

The next thing I made sure to cross-check was if the product was moisturizing and nourishing. So that your hair stays good and even detangling becomes easy. 

Chemical-free-

The last thing I checked in was whether the product was chemical-free or used minimal amounts of it or not. As it will save my hair in the long run, plus sensitive scalp, people can use it too. 

Top Hair Twist Products 2022

As I Am Twist Defining Cream Red

As I Am Twist Defining, Cream is one of the first creams I had bought, and I was really satisfied with it. It really hydrates my 4c curls and works a great deal in defining it as well. 

The cream genuinely helps in promoting smooth twists. Adding to that, this is made with all-natural ingredients such as castor oil, beetroots, sunflowers, sugar, alma, and phytosterols. 

Also, it comes with coconut and tangerine, so it will really help you grow your curls along with keeping them moisturized and smooth. 

I remember getting my twists done by a professional. It felt great, but their products caused flakiness and itch on my scalp, and only after a few days did I have to wash it clean. 

But I also saw that the twist defining cream causes no flakes and keeps my scalp itch-free too. Adding to that, it also helps in keeping the frizz in control for weeks. 

I also liked that you can use this product on all types of hair twists and braids. So this is definitely a star product for me.

Pros-

• Holds the twist for longer as it’s got a strong formula
• It causes no flakiness or itch on the scalp as it’s free of chemicals
• It helps in defining the curls as well as moisturizing them

Cons-

• It is a bit pricey compared to other creams

My Ratings-

• Longevity- 4.5/5
• Moisturizing- 4/5
• Chemical free- ⅘

SoftSheen-Carson Dark and Lovely Au Naturale Anti-Shrinkage Curl Defining Creme Glaze

Next on the list is SoftSheen Carson’s Dark and Lovely Au Naturale AntiShrinkage Curl Defining Creme Glaze, the list of benefits of which are as long as its name. 

First off, it is an amazing product that helps you with the twist and stays upto six days without shrinking your curls. It also keeps the hair from tangling too much, which I really love as detangling is a really hard process. 

Adding to that, it also helps in keeping the moisture in control. It keeps the curl healthy, shiny, and also frizz-free. You are just going to love it. 

The one thing that I take as a downside is its drying time, it takes some real extra time to dry, and until then, it feels heavy on your head. 

Also, the fragrance that it has is a bit fruity, so although I loved it, a few of my smell sensitive friends weren’t taking it that great. So, it has a bit stronger smell for people with sensitivity. 

Pros-

• It helps with the twists and holds them for nearly a week 
• It keeps them frizz-free and moisturized 
• It locks in the moisture and keeps them from tangling 

Cons-

• It takes time to set fully into your hair
• Its scent may be too strong for a few people

My Ratings-

• Longevity- 4/5
• Moisturizing- 4/5
• Chemical free- 3.5/5

Kinky Curly Curly Custard Gel

Next on my list is Kinky Curly Custard Gel, that is, I have to say, another amazing product for curl, wavy, and of course, kinky hair. It helps in defining the curls and wave patterns that you actually have. 

I used this gel after shampooing and conditioning my curls and then applied it to the wet hair and then dried them first with microfiber towels for like 15 minutes and then an air dryer. 

It worked just fine, and my hair was really shiny, curls defined, and frizz-free as well. Adding to that, this product adds so much to my hair that I rarely go for the diffuser, and it is just amazing. 

Also, one thing that you would like to do is keep the amount small, as small goes a long way and keeps your twists from feeling heavy on your head. 

The only issue with this product too is its smell, I mean, it’s not bad if you like the flavor of vanilla, but if you don’t, you might not use this product again. 

Although it has these amazing benefits to the twists and curls, the scent at times becomes too much to handle. 

Pros-

• It helps you with your twist holding them for long 
• It adds definition to your naturals and keeps them shiny
• It keeps your strands moisturized and detangled 

Cons-

• It has a vanilla scent to it that might feel strong to many

My Ratings-

• Longevity- 4/5
• Moisturizing- 4.3/5
• Chemical free- ⅘

Aunt Jackie’s Curls and Coils Curl La La Defining Curl Custard 

Aunt Jackie’s Curls and Coils La La Defining Curl Custard is another amazing product that actually works. It really helps in holding the twists and well defining them too. Adding to that, it adds shine and gloss to your hair. 

Before someone suggested this popular brand, I was experimenting with Cantu Coconut Cream, but there weren’t any positive results coming out of that, plus it made me smell like some beach vacation all the time. 

All you need to do is apply a generous amount (according to your hair) on your wet hair and dry it well, and you are ready to rock your twists. At least that’s how I apply it, and it really works great. 

It also helps with the moisture, keeps the frizz away, and will give you pretty defined curls each time you use it. Adding to that, it has a clean scent to it that is more floral, and it makes my hair feel fresh. 

Also, one thing I would like to add to this product’s downside is the fact that it leads to build-up on your scalp, so after using this product, you would need a real good cleansing shampoo to get rid of it thoroughly. Otherwise, this product is amazing. 

Pros- 

• It holds the twists well and keeps it frizz-free
• It also helps in keeping the moisture for nearly three days 
• It helps in defining your curls and gives them a natural shine 

Cons-

• It builds up on your scalp

My Ratings-

• Longevity- 4/5
• Moisturizing- 4.3/5
• Chemical free- 4/5
