hi my name is Mimi and welcome back to
0:02
my channel untwisted uh today I just
0:04
wanted to talk a little bit about cream
0:06
stylers because for the last year and a
0:08
half almost two years now I've been team
0:11
no oils no Butters which you know means
0:13
no raw oils or no raw Butters and I've
0:17
mostly been doing washables with gels or
0:20
like rod sets with Foams and cream
0:23
salads have not been a huge part of my
0:25
routine my hooded dryer doesn't stay up
0:28
right now I probably gotta replace the
0:30
screw or something I haven't had time to
0:31
mess with it so I haven't had a hooded
0:33
dryer in like a month and I am somebody
0:36
who likes to wash my hair like twice a
0:38
week and I don't have time to diffuse
0:41
twice a week so I've been grabbing cream
0:43
salads just to do like two strand flat
0:46
twists and recently I've started doing
0:50
twist outs so I tried the twist out one
0:54
time where I didn't have anywhere to go
0:55
and I was like man I didn't have
0:57
anywhere to go
0:58
and this is is a day four twist out I
1:02
did with a cream and you know I just
1:03
Twisted the side so it's like
1:05
asymmetrical but
1:07
let's get into a little bit more about
1:09
these cream salads I've been using and I
1:12
want you guys to guess which one I use
1:14
for this style and I'll get into the
1:17
details about why I use that particular
1:20
Styler so I just want you guys to
1:23
comment number one
1:24
if you think it was the mile twisting
1:27
souffle that I used for the style number
1:29
two if you think it was Camille rose
1:31
almond Jai and number three if you think
1:34
it was as I am twist the fine and cream
1:37
okay so I've been using a little bit of
1:39
all of those but for different things
1:40
over the last about months since my
1:42
hooded dry has been down so like I said
1:44
one wash day will be a wash and go on
1:47
and the next wash straight wash day I
1:49
will just like let my hair dry down and
1:51
braids if I got somewhere to go and I'll
1:52
put some flat twists if not I'll just
1:54
leave I'll just leave the braids and
1:56
throw in a slap cap until I need to wash
1:59
my hair again or style it so that's what
2:02
I've been doing and I just want to recap
2:04
this twist out that I did this kind of
2:07
twist out slash slide braid that I did a
2:09
few days ago and I wanted to get it in
2:10
before I had to wash my hair because I
2:13
know if you guys can see like there's
2:14
still definition left in here and I have
2:16
I had my hands and my hair like a lot
2:18
because I love the way it feels
2:21
so it held up it held up better than I
2:24
thought it did and I had been resisting
2:26
twist outs with cream sellers because
2:30
I was one of those people who would get
2:31
like a nice twist out
2:33
go to work and it'd be done by lunchtime
2:35
and I laughed because I used to remember
2:37
hearing black girl curls say that like
2:39
your twist outs don't make it past less
2:40
time I was definitely one of those
2:42
people who had twist cells that did not
2:43
make it past lunchtime but at the same
2:47
time I was not a moose girl I hop in and
2:50
out of see some curls which is like the
2:52
black girl curls digital education and
2:55
they did a twist out and I was like
2:58
with a cream and I was like not one of
3:00
the Creeps I have a different cream and
3:03
I was just like let me try this out so I
3:06
did and I was very happy with the
3:08
results so this is like the second time
3:09
I did this so I knew what kind of I had
3:11
an idea of how it would come out and
3:13
kind of longevity in it and I like it I
3:15
like it for me like I said I'm not my
3:17
hair has last seven day girl like I
3:19
don't mind washing my hair twice a week
3:20
so that's where I am but even if I um
3:23
with somebody who was trying to get
3:24
seven days out of this like I could
3:26
definitely put this up into a ponytail
3:28
or something or leave this out and then
3:30
like flat twist the side back like so I
3:32
could definitely get seven days out of
3:34
this style that's that that's not my bag
3:35
I'll probably go wash it tonight or
3:37
tomorrow but I was surprised about how a
3:40
Twist and cream could perform because I
3:44
never really had success with it before
3:45
and even afterwards I never would have
3:47
thought to try it if I didn't see a
3:50
little trick and see some curls I'm not
3:51
gonna I'm Gonna Leave see some curls and
3:53
see some curls um if you're in there you
3:55
should go check it out because I learned
3:57
a few things so that video and see some
3:59
curls kind of helped me pick which cream
4:02
for my sash that I would use to try to
4:04
twist out and I like it like I really I
4:07
really enjoyed this like I said this is
4:09
the second style once one time I did the
4:10
whole twist out around my whole head
4:12
like I felt cute it couldn't tell me
4:13
nothing
4:14
um and it's holding up like I said hands
4:16
in here
4:17
it is holding up
4:20
all right so let's get into wash day and
4:22
I'll let you know which um cream I use
4:24
so for wash day this time I was coming
4:28
out of a wash and go so I just use like
4:30
a regular moisturizer shampoo it's
4:32
probably onion and I did the onion
4:35
shampoo and conditioner and then I put a
4:39
leave-in in I think it was the um the
4:42
lemongrass leave-in Alley K lemongrass
4:46
leaving lightweight spray Den on braided
4:48
my hair down I had some stuff to do went
4:51
did that stuff and when I was ready to
4:52
style I just combed my hair out so my
4:55
hair looks big but it's just combed out
4:56
of brace like I didn't put any heat on
4:59
it so that's how I started this style
5:03
was with my hair damp hair that had been
5:06
combed out so my hair was barely wet by
5:09
the time I got around to styling it so I
5:12
used my spray bottle to add a little bit
5:14
more water and this technique I actually
5:17
got from the comment section I was in
5:20
service to try because I thought my hair
5:22
would Tangled but I did so the way I
5:25
like to do my twist outs is I like to do
5:26
like it's like I twist with four strands
5:28
it sounds confusing but I separate the
5:31
top from the bottom so the top is two
5:33
strands bottoms is two strand and I like
5:35
crisscross them over and what that does
5:37
is when I take them down like each twist
5:39
will have four strands so that's not
5:41
something I got from the comment section
5:42
I'm pretty sure that's something I saw
5:43
on YouTube a long time ago and I liked
5:45
it so I stuck with it the part so I do
5:48
that and then I twirl it around before I
5:50
twist those twirl twist twirl twist
5:53
um twirl it in the opposite direction
5:54
before I twist it over twirl it in the
5:56
opposite direction twist it over and
5:59
that just gives me like that just gives
6:00
me more definition
6:01
now the part that I got from the comment
6:03
section is the ends so normally I would
6:07
have to put a rod on the ends of my hair
6:08
the ends of my hair are thinner than the
6:10
top of my hair because I'm still growing
6:11
that hint out
6:13
um but instead of doing that I twirled
6:15
it into like a mini bantu knot on the
6:17
end of my hair and the first few times I
6:19
read that in the comment section I'm
6:20
like oh that's crazy that's stupid I'm
6:22
not doing that it's going to tangle up
6:24
my hair but then when I tried it it
6:27
didn't do any of that like it came down
6:28
pretty easily and I liked it because
6:30
then I didn't have to go find rollers
6:31
enough to worry about taking out rollers
6:34
and putting them away when I was gonna
6:35
take them down or and I could just throw
6:37
a hat on and I need to go out if I was
6:39
not ready to take the twist down so I
6:41
like the idea of bantu knot in the ends
6:44
and I like the result that I got from
6:46
doing that because sometimes you know
6:48
twist outs well my twin cells when I
6:51
twist them straight down the ends can be
6:53
kind of pointy so twisting it like that
6:55
for me made them you know have a similar
6:58
pattern from root to tip without it
7:00
sticking out so it has a little bit of
7:02
weight and a little bit of definition at
7:06
the end of my hair so that's why I did
7:08
for the twists I think when I was done I
7:12
had I had more twists than I planned on
7:13
putting in I probably had like 15 twists
7:17
and that was only half of my head
7:19
because I ended up you know putting a
7:20
flat twist on this side of my head so
7:22
that's what I did and I didn't put any
7:25
heat on it Sunday so Sunday night is
7:27
when I twisted them so when I was done
7:29
twisting them I went ahead and slept on
7:32
them with just like a satin scarf they
7:34
weren't soaking wet there was barely any
7:36
water in them when I did the Twist and
7:38
then I think I hit them with the with
7:41
the Dyson before I took them down so
7:42
before I took them down for like five
7:44
minutes I just kind of took the dice in
7:46
and like alternated between regular heat
7:48
and uh cool shot before I took them down
7:51
and then when I took them down you can
7:54
see these fantastic results I had did a
7:57
YouTube short on them but I really liked
7:59
the way they came out there was like
8:01
lots of definition and minimal frizz
8:03
when I first took them out and immature
8:05
nicely over the last few days like I
8:07
said I really like them and I still
8:09
didn't tell you it was twisting cream I
8:10
use so the Twisted cream I ended up
8:12
using was as I am as I am classic twist
8:17
defining cream they had a huge sale on
8:20
this at Sally's and I had it and I
8:23
didn't realize this actually had a
8:25
holding ingredient in it so the holding
8:27
ingredient in here is a complement I
8:29
think but like y'all see the back of
8:31
this y'all see the back of this jar
8:34
the text is so small it is so small
8:38
um I had to look it up and then
8:39
literally like use a magnifying glass to
8:42
find it on the back of here but there's
8:43
a carboner in here which is a whole
8:45
ingredient which is why it held up so
8:47
well and that goes to show you like you
8:49
learn things because I used to use a
8:51
different cream I used to use I think
8:53
it's called the double buttercream that
8:55
used to be what I used for like all my
8:57
styles
8:58
before because I thought all the
9:00
ingredients were bad so I wanted the
9:03
most natural natural natural product
9:04
from as I am and the most natural
9:06
natural product was the double
9:09
buttercream
9:11
and I remember when I started the 30 day
9:14
here detox like for Twist outs and stuff
9:16
you're supposed to pair that with a one
9:18
of your gels or one of their twist
9:20
defining creams because it has no hole
9:22
so I have been using it all wrong and
9:24
that's why my twist outs didn't make it
9:27
past lunchtime and again that's one of
9:29
those things I learned from beginning to
9:31
see some curls from doing the 30 day
9:33
hair detox so like I said so what they
9:36
did in season curls is a little bit
9:37
different from what I did but I'm glad
9:40
to see that new content is being added
9:42
that's not hot in and out of there and I
9:44
know one of the big hold ups with people
9:46
you know starting their third day hair
9:47
detox is they're the one we're watching
9:50
those so it's nice to see that content
9:52
is coming along but yes I really like
9:55
this like I said this
9:57
plenty of definition left and in this
10:01
style there's plenty plenty of life left
10:03
in the style and it was never hard to
10:05
touch I've tried twist outs with Foams
10:08
and they were not my favorite so my hair
10:09
would have some movement but when you
10:11
touched it it I didn't like the way it
10:13
felt I used to gel cast and wash it goes
10:16
but Foams like have a steep learning
10:18
curve because they perform very
10:20
differently on wet hair than dry hair
10:22
and you have to like concentrate it on
10:24
your hair but if you concentrate it too
10:25
much it gets too crunchy and it won't
10:27
fluff out properly
10:29
um so there's like a steep learning
10:30
curve with Foams and none of them act
10:33
the same they're all like very different
10:35
formulations I feel like with creams and
10:38
they get all over the place so like if
10:39
I'm trying to rub cream like a foam it's
10:41
like one section it's hard especially on
10:44
wet hair because it just starts you know
10:46
all over the place so then when I go
10:48
pick up the next session it's already
10:49
got foam on it from the even though I
10:51
wasn't trying to get it on it and it's
10:52
like how much do I put on there it's it
10:54
was hard for me to manage the phones and
10:56
the twist outs which is why I like the
10:57
cream because cream you put it where you
10:59
want it and it stays there when I put
11:01
any of those creams in my hair I can
11:02
tell where it's at so I can tell where
11:04
the coverage is and where I need more or
11:06
where I might have missed the spot and I
11:08
can comb it through because there's like
11:10
slip a coating on my hair I feel more
11:11
comfortable combing a cream to my hair
11:13
then I do a foam because sometimes the
11:16
Foams are sticky don't have much slip
11:18
like I said it's really a learning curve
11:21
with phones with the cream I was able to
11:23
get in there and get out and I was
11:25
surprised at the results so as I um get
11:28
my hooded dry effects and explore more
11:30
Styles I'll go ahead and try to get some
11:33
more videos and because I've been having
11:35
fun with while she goes and with other
11:37
styles I've got some like new wash and
11:39
go combos I don't think I've ever
11:41
discussed or or probably haven't gotten
11:43
on film but I've been having fun with my
11:45
hair so the first year
11:47
I was really a stickler for using like
11:50
exactly what I use at the salon because
11:52
I need my hair to get together I need to
11:54
see what it was like but I feel like I
11:56
know my hair now and I'm willing to
11:58
experiment with stylers I don't know if
12:00
you guys seen it like there's a recent
12:02
video of a girl who said her hair got
12:03
matted with a shampoo and a conditioner
12:06
and there was a video like a few years
12:08
ago curly hair crisis like she has like
12:11
the best personality in the world but
12:12
she's like oh yeah her hair got matted
12:14
when she switched up her shampoo and her
12:15
conditioner and this summer like I was
12:18
experimenting with stylers I tried to
12:20
get cute and experiment with my shampoos
12:22
and conditioners and lo and behold I
12:25
turned one of them around and it had
12:31
I was so mad because it was a brand that
12:34
would not have expected it from and I
12:36
had to return it I was just like I know
12:38
we're gonna return products didn't work
12:39
like I'll give them away or I'll just
12:40
toss them but I'm like what is it it
12:44
it was a brand I wouldn't expect it to
12:46
happen in your shampoo when people
12:47
complain about stylers it'll be like oh
12:50
it gave me a residue oh it flaked oh it
12:54
didn't last oh my hair felt weird
12:56
afterwards but never have I seen a
12:58
Styler that matted somebody's hair up so
13:00
I ain't playing with shampoos and
13:01
conditioners but I will play with some
13:03
stylers and I will share some of the
13:05
ones that I've enjoyed over the last few
13:07
months I think that's all I got for now
13:09
as always thank you for watching and
13:12
stay tuned for the next video have a
13:15
good one
13:15
[Music]
13:33
thank you
