Mango Twist - New Formula



In the early days of my natural journey my default hair style was ‘The Twist Out’, every time I this hair style I get so many complements. People as questions like ‘how do you get it so perfect?’ and comments such as ‘flawless’ follow.


I owe my twist out success to the very first product I created, MangoTwist, I wanted something that had more hold than butter and created some sheen on the hair. The ingredients I chose were perfect for this, so why the new formula? I hear you asking, well one of the ingredients I used to create the hold effect was Amaze XT (INCI: Dehydroxanthan gum). If was hard for me to purchase small quantities of this ingredient in the UK, so I was sourcing from a US website that didn’t ship to the UK, so getting hold of it was becoming a laborious task. Best thing was to think of an alternative and while I was at it I wanted to streamline Mango Twist a bit more and see if I couldn’t make it even better!

With the previous formula for optimum results it was best to use it with Moisture Custard, so I wanted to make Mango Twist more moisturising, avoid having to pile on too many products to get a really good twist out and ensure like other products in the range it could be used for more than one of the 6 BEUNIQUE steps.


With the new formula there is no need to use a leave-in conditioner, you can add an oil to your wet hair straight after washing, allow to air dry just a little and then use Mango Twist. Another great thing about the new Mango Twist is that is now comes in a 300g, which is actually cheaper gram for gram than the previous 180g jar.
