Inquiring minds would like to know, are you a braid out kind of girl or are you a twist out kind of girl? I will go first! I am a braid out kind of girl all the way, hands down, no holds barred, without a doubt my holy grail hair style. <— How did I get here?
Well it is simple really, I wanted more “stretch” out of my hair, I was tired of battling with single strand knots and tangles and all the craziness that comes with super fine but thick natural hair and for some reason my twist outs were always super “shrinky” and just did not act right. Braid outs give me the luxury of stretched hair along with the full body look I like.
With all that said, both styles are merely a matter of preference, there is not one better than the other both have their pros and cons and even then your pros and your cons might not be the same as curly Donna’s down the block. Generally though, braid outs can be more defined and less “good frizzy” than a twist out. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing, its just is what it is.
Either way, to get the best of either of these styles, the key is really the product, remembering that less is more and ensuring that before you get to the styler, your hair is super moisturized and sealed.
Choosing the styler is super important as mentioned and it really depends on what kind of hold you are looking for. My preference is a light hold for a fluffier look, but a hard hold can work as well because your hair will remain more defined for longer and will get fluffier from day to day.
We love BargainPrincess because she is always so bubbly in her videos, and we thought we would share her version of the braid out vs twist out dilemma and see which side of the fence she falls. After you watch the video comment below and let us know what is your preference!
Braid out…but..both look good!!
Twist out….
Twist Out is fuller but both are nice
both are great
The bigger the better..
Both 🙂
Twisted, because of the bigness and fullness!!!!
Seem to me the twist has a more define pattern
Twist out.
Both!!
both.
Braided for sure!
right pic
Big hair love it
It would be nice if you showed both pictures either with or without makeup
I like braided!
Twist out! More volume and curls!!
Twistout
I like twist out the best,,,, even for my hair
Both. You start with twist for a few days then untwist and rock the twist out. Can’t have ying without yang know what I’m saying.
Twisted bigger waves more body but shorter. if you want longer wave do braid.
Twist out…I suck at braidouts
Both hairstyles are nice but the one without so much makeup is better. She’s a natural beauty. That make up looks like a mask. She has nothing to hide.
Twist out. 🙂
the puff one
Twisted is less frizzy/puffy and more defined imo
Second pic
Twist out looks better for sure!
Both…it just depends what you are doing/where you’re going. ..she looks pretty in both
Yes…less make up…she is already pretty
Twist more fuller
The twisted has more definition with her hair type. Every hair type is different so will act different to each tech used. – remember that.
I like Both <3 <3 <3
Twist out, I love BIG hair!
Twist. Better definition and less frizz.
Twisted bread
None of them!

Why show half the hair taken down with the braid out? Seems biased toward twistout
Not huge difference. .. both works
She’s beautiful either way!
Twist outs.

TWIST OUT ☺️
I love twist outs
Twist out rocking the definition, woohoo!!!
Big twist out
Looks the same… But the twist is bigger so twist!
I like both but depends what she’s wearing or the occasion
Twisted, I love big puffy hair, can’t wait until mine is like this
Actually the right version.
first, she is super cute, and has lovely hair!!! I have 4c, so from my experience, braid outs stretch my hair best. with twist outs, it does curl nicely, but a lot of volume is still at my scalp. I want the most stretch for my buck, lol.
I love both as I also do them both. I love a wild look, as my hair has grown up to my chin when stretch out in do the braid and really loving loving it.
.twist out
Curls
That’s a hard decision cause I actually like both.

Twisted, it’s more defined. I thought braid-outs would be more defined. I’m relaxed and twisted looks better on me as well. I did a braid-out one day and ended up taking it out and redoing it but with a twist out
Twist out. Braid outs are frizzy
Now I’m confused what’s a braid out? My hair is twisted sometimes I wear twist out but it looks matted after a while.
Braid Out, more definition and it’s more original. Don’t see the appeal of Twist Outs.
Twisted out definitely
Definitely the twist out! Beautiful
Out
The twist out has more volume and definition on her
Big hair
BIG hair!
Twisted & then the twist out !
Twist out for sure.
Neither
Big is better
Braided…it gives more definition
My goal is to get my hair close to the one on the right.
Right side
Neither. ..Too plain..
Both sides look the same to me … I’m just saying. But is still nice.
I like both.
Braid
Twist out, gives more curl definition!
Twist out looks better on her but i have more success with braid out. Everytime i do a braid out it looks good but twist outs are hit & miss
Twist-out
left looks more defined, less frizz and more volume
Both look nice but I like the twist out
Twist outs work best for me. Love the hair.
Twist outs hands down
I like both on her. I enjoy the twist out style on my own hair. I only do the braid out style after rocking cornrows. I think the braid out style produces more curls in my opinion.
Big hair
I like both equally
Twistt
The twist out is always my fav

dont you notice on the left no make up and on the right make up
Both styles are great. It would depend on the mood or what I am doing to settle on the one that works for said situation or circumstance.
I always do a twist out and I prefer them .
