13 Curl Creams That'll Give You the Best Twist-Outs Ever
Twist-outs are a great protective style for curly haired girls who want to give their strands a break from manipulation and heat styling. They're also great for those who just want a cool hairstyle. But what's the key to achieving a successful twist-out? A reliable product that will both nourish your hair and give you lasting definition. Here are nine curl creams that don’t skimp out on moisture and will leave your twist-outs looking just right.
1. Ouidad Curl Quencher Moisturizing Gel
Want to be able to run your fingers through your curls without feeling any crunchiness? With a mix of hair conditioners and moisturizers-meadowfoam seed oil and arnica flower-this cream will soften and hydrate even the driest of curls without any stiff hold.
2. OGX Moroccan Curling Perfection Defining Cream
This cream is centered around its main ingredient, argan oil, which works to not only bring life back into your curls, but keep them defined and soft all day as well. Go ahead, whip your hair back and forth-it'll be hard to resist.
3. ORS Curls Unleashed Curl Defining Cream
This cream does the most in the best way possible. With coconut, sweet almond, and safflower oils, it defines and gives your thirsty curls an insane amount of hydration without leaving it feeling heavy or greasy.
4. Morrocanoil Curl Defining Cream
This product might be called a curl defining cream, but it does more than just that. It softens your hair (thank you, argan oil), manages flyaways, adds extra shine, gives you a silky feel, provides long-lasting hold...seriously, I could go on forever.
5. Cantu Coconut Curling Cream
Fed up with stiff gels that make your twist-outs feel crunchy? I'm going to go ahead and assume the answer to that question is YES. It’s time for you to get your hands on this ultra-hydrating curling cream. Loaded with shea butter, aloe vera, coconut and jojoba oil, this lightweight formula helps bring life back into dry, brittle hair for soft, well-defined curls.
6. Taliah Waajid Curly Curl Cream
When I say your 4C hair has met her match, I mean it. Perfect for super curly textures or those with thick hair, this non-greasy formula will enhance even the most stubborn of curls with zero visible residue left behind.
7. Pantene Pro-V Gold Series Curl Defining Pudding Cream
With this curl cream, you don't have to choose between hydration and definition-you can have your cake and eat it too. Infused with argan oil (which has hydrating benefits), this pudding offers up curl definition that lasts for days on end, without any of the stiffness.
8. SheaMoisture Coconut and Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie
This sulfate-free soufflé is a fan-favorite and I can see why. It’s formulated with coconut oil and hibiscus flower extract to prevent breakage and promote hair growth, but the benefits don't end there. It also contains silk protein and neem seed oil for voluminous, frizz-free twist-outs. Bonus: It works great for wash and go’s, too.
9. Eden BodyWorks Coconut Shea Curl Defining Creme
Thanks to coconut oil and shea butter, this creme helps keep your hair in check while still providing it with the moisture it needs. The result? Elongated curls that are soft to the touch. You won't be able to stop playing with your hair.
10. As I Am Twist Defining Cream
There's nothing worse than a curl cream that leaves your hair flat and greasy. Lucky for you, this lightweight creamy styler does the exact opposite. It comes through on its promise to ultimately hydrate your hair-shoutout sunflower oil-while controlling any unwanted frizz.
11. Curls Blueberry Bliss Control Jelly
This control jelly (not to be confused with gel) is packed with blueberry extract and raw castor oil-both of which contribute to a strong holding power that won't make your hair hard to the touch. Use this on its own (or with an added dose of oil if you need an extra boost of moisture) and watch it work wonders on your twist-outs.
12. Camille Rose Naturals Almond Jai Twisting Butter
Exotic pumpkin, macadamia, and olive oils combined with almond butter make up this rich concoction to give your twist-outs some much-needed and well-deserved TLC. Great for anyone with super-tight textures, this will loosen up your coils and provide lasting shine to your hair. Oh, and if you're not sold on it already, it also smells like delicious cake mix. You're welcome.
13. DevaCurl Supercream Coconut Curl Styler
Want your curls to pop with a capital P sans the side effect of being weighed down? I know I do. Insert this coconut oil-based styler that strengthens hair and battles humidity for soft curls you can sleep on (in a satin bonnet, ofc!). Though its price is a bit steep, this product lives up to its claims-plus, your hair deserves nothing but the best, right?!
