So if anyone has any recommendations for products that provide the same hold and moisture, let a sistah know! 😉 I definitely plan on experimenting with other products because MJ’s products are very expensive. It really does a good job of binding my strands together so I maintain some definition. I love Miss Jessie’s Curly Buttercreme because it adds moisture and hold, but it’s not so much hold that may hair feels crunchy or has residue. However, here are some things I believe helped make my style last. This is my first all natural twist out so I’m clearly no expert.

I should also mention that I sleep in a satin bonnet. Not a good look.īut other than that, there was zero manipulation/maintenance other than moisturizing my hair with my essential oils mix. I’m a side sleeper, and since my hair is thinner on the sides (comparatively), it tends to flatten out very quickly. Now, I should admit that I did re-twist about 4-5 twists on the sides of my hair on some nights. I don’t sweat profusely, but I do sweat enough that my roots get puffy, and I’m OK with that. So in total, this style lasted 14 days! And for the record, I do work out regularly. The back of my hair probably would have lasted another week, but my scalp was extremely dry so it was time to shampoo after day 7 of the twist out. I two-strand twisted my hair using Miss Jessie’s Curly Buttercreme and left them in for 7 days. When I was transitioning, I was lucky to get 6 to 8 days out of twist out, so when my first all natural hairstyle lasted 14 days, I wanted to do a happy dance!
