Twist-Out success with Original Moxie!!!

If you read my post on LYT you'll be more than aware that I conquered my twist-out fear and braved what has now become the new hairstyle love of my life!

I used Original Moxie from start to finish and all in all I absolutely love the results! Here is how I conquered the Twist-Out!

Original Moxie Twist-Out Regime

Tools [styling only]

- Denman Brush -

- Butterfly hair clamps -

- Tail comb -

- Small Perm rods -

Pre-poo

Original Moxie Emollience Penetrating Moisture + Original Moxie Oasis Moisture Gel

[I applied this combo and let it sit on my hair overnight, it definitely beat my initial review of the Emollience Treatment hands down and left me with über soft hair!]

Shampoo

Original Moxie Get Clean No-Foam Shampoo

[I washed with the No-Foam Shampoo which I am still yet to review, undecided on how I feel about no suds in my shamps!]

Deep Conditioner

Original Moxie Re-wind Protein Treatment 

[My hair was in serious need of some strength so I applied this treatment and let it sit for the recommended 15 minutes]

Leave-in Conditioner

Original Moxie Everyday Leave-in Conditioner + Original Moxie Oasis Moisture Gel

[I applied a mixture of the OM Leave-in and Moisture Gel throughout my hair. I opted for this combination because I find the OM Leave-in a tad bit too heavy, whereas the addition of the Moisture Gel gave me tremendous slip and moisturised my hair. A dime size amount is definitely the rule of thumb with the Leave-in for me!]

Styling

Original Moxie Lux Locs Styling & Shine + Original Moxie Just Gel Styling Concentrate + Original Moxie Hair Bling High Shine Pomade 

Day One

1 - I knew that I wanted some hair to fall across my hair like a fringe so I parted my hair with a tail comb and created squares in my usual fringe area. I detangled each section using a Denman brush and then applied a tiny amount of the styling concentrate to each section for additional hold, whilst then topping this off with a mini dollop of the Lux Locs Styling & Shine cream.

2 - I then began to twist each section of hair and when half way down the twisted segment; I would secure the root of the twist with a bobby pin to avoid unravelling or loose twists.

3 - To secure the bottom of each twist my perm rods came in handy! The ends of my hair are still relaxed so I needed something to help maintain consistent curl.

4 - Headscarf on and hair was left overnight to set!

Day Two

I lightly misted my hair with a homemade moisturising spritz to revitalise my hair. I then warmed my finger tips with the Original Moxie Hair Bling High Shine Pomade and began to unravel each twist.

General Thoughts

I loved the softness the combination of styling products gave, the Lux Locs and Hair Bling were especially kind to my hair and left it soft and bouncy. I had some knot and tangling issues with the styling concentrate but only before realising that this was best mixed with the Lux Locs as opposed to being applied by itself before the Lux Locs cream.

End result ....

Forgive the camera quality, my camera went on vacay with a friend to Dubai!!!

Pre-Shampoo Lovin' | Original Moxie Emollience Pre-Treatment

I'm a complete snob when it comes to products that work for my hair, once I find the 'perfect' product I hold on to it like a mother does her newborn baby... 'no touching please- she needs her beauty sleep!'

Well this product junkie snob trait definitely didn't make things easy for the Original Moxie Emollience Pre-Treatment, which of course had to suit up to my beloved pre-poo staples; LYT Gingernut Brulee Prepoo & Philip Kingsley Elasticizer Extreme! 

I decided to use the Pre-Treatment the night before a friends birthday celebration, and here is how it suited up...

I followed the instructions on the Emollience Pre-Treatment label which said to apply to dry hair prior to washing and gently heat to aid penetration, this for me translated to get your GreenHouseEffect on! The Original Moxie Emollience Pre-Treatment is said to be a penetrating oil treatment that restores the correct moisture balance to parched hair, and at 25 weeks post relaxer and having used no heat for over 7 weeks my hair constantly craves moisture, so this was destined to be a winner right?

APPLICATION

Considering the fact that I received a sample size of the Emollience Pre-Treatment, the treatment still went very far, so much so that I was able to save some for a second application! It has a thick buttery consistency and a spicy, minty aroma. I did find the texture a tad bit sticky however this wasn't an issue once I wore my shower cap and let the treatment work it's magic.

WASHING 

I let the Emollience Pre-Treatment sit on my hair overnight and was pleasantly surprised by how soft my hair was the next day when I took my shower cap off and was ready to commence with washing. The stickiness had gone and all that was left was soft, damp hair. I definitely think the combination of the GHE Method and the Emollience worked perfectly together.

OVERALL THOUGHTS

I really liked this product, it gave me soft, tangle free hair and definitely played a major role in my evening hairdo success [below]. It took a while to get used to the smell but with such soft results I quickly forgot all about it! I did find that you need a fairly sudsy shampoo to effectively wash the treatment out, but that review is for another day!

I've saved the other half of my tub for a second review combining the Emollience Pre-Treatment with its right hand man the Oasis Moisture Gel! I've heard the results are even better! 

All in all Original Moxie worked a treat and as you can see I was all smiles for the evening birthday celebration! I used only Original Moxie products to achieve the look below so the reviews will be flooding in soon!

Till next time!
