Question 1

Is The Doux Block Party Anti-Humidity Gel good for a twist out on Type 4 hair?

Accepted Answer

For me, it actually did really well in a twist out, way better than my wash and go attempts with it. The gel-only side gave me the best definition and a strong cast that felt like it would last the week. If you like a more “set” twist out with crisp definition, this gel can work.

Question 2

Should I use Block Party gel alone or with Chief Rocka mousse for a twist out?

Accepted Answer

I tested both: one side gel-only and one side gel + Chief Rocka mousse. The gel-only side had stronger cast and better definition, but the combo side felt softer with a flexible hold and was easier from application to takedown. I ended up preferring the combo side because the overall results were just more enjoyable.

Question 3

Does adding mousse on top of Block Party gel help with drying time?

Accepted Answer

It seemed like it could, because the mousse diluted the gel so I didn’t feel like I needed to add as much product. Less gel usually means an easier dry down for my hair. I still sat under the hooded dryer and let it set overnight, though, because my hair behaves better that way.

Question 4

How long did you dry your twist out with Block Party gel?

Accepted Answer

My hair was completely dry after I sat under a hooded dryer for 40 minutes and then let it air dry overnight. That overnight set is key for me—it just makes the takedown cleaner. When I started separating, I could tell it was 100% dry by how easily the twists came apart.

Question 5

Did Block Party gel cause flakes in your twist out?

Accepted Answer

I did notice more flake while separating on the gel + mousse side. On the gel-only side, it was less about flaking and more about that cast wanting to keep the strands “stuck,” which made separating harder. The flakes weren’t sitting all over my hair, but I definitely saw them during takedown.

Question 6

Which side had more definition after a few days: gel only or gel + mousse?

Accepted Answer

After 3–4 days, the gel-only side still had better definition and held its shape nicely. The combo side still looked good with volume and definition, but the gel-only side was the clear definition winner. That’s what made the decision so tough for me.

Question 7

Do you braid the roots for a twist out to reduce puffiness?

Accepted Answer

Some girlies braid the roots and I’m 110% for it, especially if your roots get poofy. This time I skipped it on purpose because I wanted a little root volume to help camouflage my parts. I’m always thinking about the end goal and how the style will look once it’s taken down.
