Twist Whip Butter is a water-based hair butter for twist-outs, braid-outs and Bantu knots on coily and curly hair. Shea, tucuma and mango butters set the definition, and water and glycerin whipped in let it absorb instead of coating the strand.

Twisting butter or twist cream? A butter gives your twists grip, so the pattern holds as it dries. A water-based butter gives you that grip without the wax.

Who it's for

Type 4 coils and 3C curls that wear stretched, set styles — a hair butter for Black natural hair that doubles as a 4C hair moisturizer between styles. Protein-free and coconut-oil-free.

What's inside this hair butter

  • Unrefined shea butter — a soft plant fat that melts on contact with warm hands and seals moisture into each twist.
  • Mango + tucuma seed butters — lighter butters that soften the blend, so it spreads smoothly instead of dragging.
  • Castor seed oil — a thick oil that adds grip, helping twists keep their shape while they dry.
  • Water-based aloe, lavender + lemongrass extracts with vegetable glycerin — the hydration half. Glycerin is a humectant, meaning it draws water into the strand; lavender and lemongrass give it its herbal scent.
  • Behentrimonium methosulfate + fatty alcohols — conditioning agents that soften and smooth the cuticle. Softening alcohols, not drying ones.

How to use

  1. Start on clean, damp hair. Mist each section with Curl Hydration Spray.
  2. Smooth on Curl Moisture Cream as your leave-in.
  3. Warm a quarter-sized amount of butter between your palms, apply it over the cream and twist or braid the section.
  4. Let it dry completely — air-dry or sit under a hooded dryer — before you unravel.
  5. Separate gently and finish with a few drops of Argan Rose Hair Oil.

What to expect

Definition sets as the twists dry. Unravel too soon and you'll lose it, so on thick 4C hair, plan to let it dry overnight.

Size: 8 oz / 226 g.

FREE FROM: mineral oil, petroleum, sulfates, parabens. Vegan and cruelty-free. pH-balanced at 4.5–5.5 — the slightly acidic range where the cuticle lies flat.

I had some dusting but this will be a repurchase. I layered products when I used it. So I will try again without the layers to see what happen. This gave moisture and curls even to the heat damaged ends.

Whipped butter is amazing

I have used this product a few times since I bought it a couple of weeks ago! I really am impressed with how it is moisturizing w/o the heaviness like other butters. Lightly scented which I prefer. Pairs well with the curl cream leave in! My grey strands are soaking it up! Butter is white so doesn’t tint my hair! I will be reordering!

Can' t Do Without This Butter!

I am grateful for the ability to order this product and other ON items. Lately, I am having difficulty finding them (Target, Wal-Mart). This butter is used frequently in my home. It is a great moisturizer. My daughter uses this to do her bantu knots and twists. She relies on it, and it needs to be available. Obia Naturals, I am so glad to have found your company. Finding products that work is invaluable.

One of my faves

This butter is one of my faves. I like to use it with the curling custard for twisted updos and for just 2 strand twists.

Very light

SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT! The consistency is perfect for spring/summer seasons. I don’t use it for twists or braids. I just use it as a leave in for buns and puffs. Amazing results is what it gives. Keep making this and never change the formula. I do wish you’d make a thick, stiff, creamy butter for winter time.

Favorite all-in-one

I love this product! Here in the high desert where there is hardly any moisture in the air (barely rains and rarely snows) it can be a struggle to keep hair moisturized. Using this product has reduced the need to use multiple products. I put this in my hair at night and plait it up before going to bed. The following morning I spray Curl Hydration or water with a little bit of coconut oil added to it to loosen up the plaited pattern and I am done! I only use the product every other night or every 2 nights because the moisture has been retained in my hair. It will even last to Monday morning if I do my hair Friday evening. I have used it for a wash and go and have excellent results with my natural curl pattern clearly defined. I have not experienced flakes or build up or limp curls. The only negativity I experience is the lavender smell. It affects my allergies causing sneezing fits each and every time. I add my own essential oil to decrease the lavender smell. Of course it would be easier to just stop using it but this stuff is so awesome and there is nothing else like it -- nothing even similar -- that can do what the Sweet Almond Heavy Cream does.

Hair - mostly 3C with 4A
Length - chin
Density - medium to thick
Porosity - medium to high (color occasionally)

Wow

I used to use the Twist Whip Butter to add moisture mid week, but recently started using it to twist and I noticed it keeps my twists strong moisturized, shiny and...bouncy?? I don’t know what it is, but now I’m in love. For protective styling this is a must. YAASS OBIA!!

Great Product

I have no complaints with this entire brand of products. I have a very sensitive scalp and things tend to break me out with rashes around my edge line but I have no issues with this brand. This twist whip butter is very light weight but also moisturizing. I have used it on a twist out as well as a wash n go and it provided long lasting moisture to both styles.

Set the style

This jar is for stretched, set styles.

Twisting butter or twist cream? A butter gives your twists grip, so the pattern holds as it dries. A water‑based butter gives you that grip without the wax, and absorbs instead of sitting on top.

Reach for this jar if your hair…

  • Is Type 4 coils or 3C curls that wear twist‑outs, braid‑outs or Bantu knots
  • Loses definition before the style dries
  • Needs a 4C moisturizer between styles
  • Is protein‑sensitive, or you avoid coconut oil

Choose something else if…

Definition sets as the twists dry. Unravel too soon and you’ll lose it, so on thick 4C hair, plan to let it dry overnight.

What's inside, and why it works

Three butters, whipped with water.

Unrefined shea butter

A soft plant fat that melts on contact with warm hands and seals moisture into each twist.

Mango + tucuma seed butters

Lighter butters that soften the blend, so it spreads smoothly instead of dragging.

Castor seed oil

A thick oil that adds grip, helping twists keep their shape while they dry.

Aloe, lavender + lemongrass in water, with glycerin

The hydration half. Glycerin is a humectant that draws water into the strand; lavender and lemongrass give it its herbal scent.

Behentrimonium methosulfate + fatty alcohols

Conditioning agents that soften and smooth the cuticle. Softening alcohols, not drying ones.

Vitamin E

An antioxidant that keeps the butters and oils fresh.

pH 4.5–5.5. The slightly acidic range where the cuticle lies flat. Tap water sits at 7 and lifts the cuticle; this brings it back down. FREE FROM mineral oil, petroleum, sulfates, parabens. No silicones. Vegan and cruelty‑free. Made in our own manufacturing space in Dallas.

The twist‑out

How to use it.

  1. Start on clean, damp hair. Mist each section with Curl Hydration Spray.
  2. Smooth on your leave‑in. Curl Moisture Cream first.
  3. Warm a quarter‑sized amount of butter between your palms. Apply it over the cream, then twist or braid the section.
  4. Let it dry completely. Air‑dry or sit under a hooded dryer before you unravel.
  5. Separate gently and finish. A few drops of Argan Rose Hair Oil on your fingertips.

What to expect: definition sets as the twists dry. Unravel too soon and you’ll lose it, so on thick 4C hair, plan to let it dry overnight.

Ask Obia

Questions, answered.

Is a butter going to feel heavy?

No. This one is water‑based, which is rare for a butter. It absorbs rather than sitting on the strand, so it isn’t heavy or waxy.

How much do I use?

A quarter‑sized amount per section, warmed between your palms and smoothed through over your leave‑in. Don’t rinse it out.

How do I get the most definition from a twist‑out?

Mist each section with Curl Hydration Spray, smooth on Curl Moisture Cream, then apply the butter and twist. Let it dry fully before you unravel.

How is it different from Curl Moisture Cream?

Twist Whip Butter is a butter‑rich definition styler for twist‑outs, braid‑outs and Bantu knots. Curl Moisture Cream is a featherweight leave‑in for everyday moisture. One sets a style; the other hydrates.

Is it protein‑free and coconut‑oil‑free?

Both. No proteins and no coconut oil.

What does pH‑balanced mean here?

It’s a number, not a slogan. Hair and scalp sit at roughly 4.5–5.5; tap water is 7 and lifts the cuticle. Because this butter is whipped with water, it has a pH, and it’s formulated at 4.5–5.5.

What’s it free from?

Mineral oil, petroleum, sulfates, parabens. No silicones, no proteins, no coconut oil. Vegan and cruelty‑free. Made in our own manufacturing space in Dallas.
