"A bespoke approach is our priority, and we use the quiz to mix and match products that suit the health of the hair and adapt to everyone’s own pace."Īnd despite the information out there, Twist makes it its mission to debunk the curl myths presented to us over the years. "We’ve got a dedicated hair quiz online that takes our customers through a journey that helps to customize their hair care routine," Rectenwald says. Not only reworking traditional formulas to uniquely tap into the needs of curly hair, Twist treats every curl type as individual. "The number one concern for all of us with curly hair is its need for moisture, and we found by prioritizing hydrating and moisturizing formulas and reducing stripping components such as sulfates, parabens, and silicones, our products truly look after curl needs," explains Ashley Rectenwald, Twist's brand manager. Leaving behind a prescriptive method and approach to looking after curls, the brand has set about carving out a space that prioritizes the needs of those of us with curly hair. Twist has burst onto the scene as a solely curl-focused brand that looks after all curly and coily hair types (we’re talking 3A-4C).

As curly and coily hair requires a bit more moisture and nourishment all within lightweight formulas, it can be a balancing act finding the proper range to not only care for all curls but put these unique needs first.Īs a coily, Afro-textured hair type myself, you can believe that I've tried them all-we’re talking everything from corner-shop beauty boutiques to the biggest brands on the internet. The same can be said for styling: Heavy products with ill-nourishing formulas only prevent our hair from receiving the conditioning it needs. Let’s face it: There are extra layers and additional steps that we need to incorporate into wash day to not only cleanse our hair and scalp, but to introduce more moisture to our curls. While the Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty Lab has never tested hair gel specifically, we constantly test hair products for all types of different hair, and hair gels have been included in our Beauty Awards in the past.For those of us with curly and coily hair types, product ranges and brands that claim to suit all hair types can be cause for skepticism. "You want to stop frizz from happening instead of trying to get rid of it after it's there." "The more separation you create, you're also going to create a lot of frizz," Hardges explains.
