Design Essentials Almond & Avocado Twist & Set Setting Lotion 8oz is a ready-to-use setting lotion infused with panthenol, silk amino acids, and botanical oils that creates shiny, long-lasting twist-outs, braid-outs, and wash-and-go styles providing medium hold, effortless detangling, and versatile styling on natural hair.
Key Benefits for Natural, Curly and Coily Hair
This twist and set setting lotion is a versatile, multi-tasking styling product for those who love wearing twist-outs, braid-outs, bantu knots, flexi-rod sets, and wash-and-go styles. The formula provides a medium hold that keeps styles locked in and defined for extended periods without creating stiffness or crunchiness. so curls remain soft, touchable, and full of movement even after the style has set. The result is the kind of shiny, long-lasting set that looks as good on day four as it did on day one.
One of the key strengths of this setting lotion is its fast-drying formula that doesn’t leave hair with a hard or stiff feel. It dries quickly under a hooded dryer or naturally in the air, making it perfect for those who want to speed up their styling routine without compromising on results. The detangling properties of the formula also make it easier to work through sections during the styling process, reducing breakage and making application faster and more efficient.
The proteins and botanicals in this setting lotion actively moisturise and nourish hair during the styling process, so you’re not just setting your hair. you’re conditioning and strengthening it at the same time. This is especially important for textured hair that can become dry and brittle when set under heat or left in styles for several days at a time.
Hero Ingredients and What They Do
Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil provides exceptional moisture and conditioning whilst creating a lightweight, non-greasy base for the setting lotion to distribute evenly through the hair. Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Fruit Extract nourishes and softens each strand, improving texture and adding a luminous shine to the finished style. Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Fruit Extract delivers intense moisture and strengthens the hair shaft, helping to prevent breakage during the twist or braid setting process.
Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein strengthens the hair cuticle and improves density, making each strand more resilient and better able to hold the set style for longer. Silk Amino Acids smooth the cuticle and add a silky, smooth feel to the hair, contributing to the glossy, healthy-looking finish this setting lotion is known for. Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Leaf Extract and Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Extract provide additional conditioning and moisture during the styling process for long-lasting softness throughout the wear.
How to Use
After shampooing and conditioning, apply Twist & Set Setting Lotion to wet hair, spraying evenly throughout all sections and combing through for full coverage. For wash-and-go styles, allow curls to form naturally and air dry or lightly diffuse to set. For twist sets, flat twists, or braid-outs, spray onto each section, comb through, and proceed to twist, braid, or set on flexi-rods, then sit under a hooded dryer or air dry fully before unravelling. Once dry, unravel gently and separate the curls with fingertips for a full, defined, long-lasting style.
