The provided video excerpt focuses on using twist curl gel as part of a twist-out hairstyle routine, specifically for achieving volume and laying down edges after the twists are taken out. Here's how you would generally use twist curl gel:
Twist-Out Tutorial Using Twist Curl Gel:
- Application: (This step is implied, as the video excerpt shows the result of the styling) Apply the twist curl gel to sections of damp or wet hair from root to tip. The amount of gel you use will depend on your hair's length, thickness, and how defined you want your twists to be. A general recommendation is to start with a small amount and add more as needed.
- Twisting: Twist each section of hair using your fingers or a comb. Ensure the twists are uniform and tight for a more defined curl pattern.
- Drying: Allow the twists to dry completely. This can be done by air-drying, using a hooded dryer, or a diffuser. It's important to wait until the hair is completely dry before taking the twists out to prevent frizz.
- Taking Down the Twists: Carefully unravel each twist, using a little oil on your fingers if needed to minimize frizz.
- Fluffing for Volume: Once all the twists are taken down, fluff the hair at the roots to create volume. Use your fingers to gently separate the curls and lift them away from the scalp. The video mentions specifically "fluffing out my twist out to give it some more volume," so this is a key step.
- Edge Control (Optional): Use an edge fixer or gel (like the Kiss Colors and Care Edge Fixer mentioned) to lay down your edges for a polished look.
In summary, twist curl gel is applied to damp hair before twisting, then the twists are allowed to dry before being taken out and styled. Fluffing the hair and laying down the edges completes the look.
