How to do - Micro 2-strand twists

For my current hairstyle; micro twists (done July 5th)... this style took me 11 hours to do in one sitting as I didn't want to spread it out throughout the week.   I wanted a style that would free me up for several weeks from major upkeep.

What I use:

• Spray bottle with water inside.
• Kinky Curly Curling Custard (KCCC) or Shea Butter.
• Wide tooth comb or comb with long thin pointy end.
• Satin Scarf.

Wash:

1. Wash my hair with Giovanni Shampoo.
2. Deep condition with Tea Tree Triple Treat Conditioner (keep on overnight with plastic cap, wash out in the am).
3. Apply Kinky Curly Knot Today leave in conditioner.
4. Section my hair and apply KCCC.

Twist:

1. Put my hair in 7 or 8 plaits and work on one section at a time. 
2. Loosen the first section, grab a small peice of hair (size of your twists) apply a nice coating of  KCCC  and twist hair.  If I do the micro's, then I need to ensure the twists are good and tight so they will last.  I twist tight to the root and keep my hands close together, careful not to take long strides.  When I use this method, my hair will guide me and force me to move down when there's no more room .  At the end of my twist, I twirl my hair around my finger so it will curl.  I finish that section and move on.
3. I move on to the next section.  If that section has dried in the least bit, I spray the water to re-wet it (hair must be wet to use KCCC) and repeat step 2.
4. Let it air dry, if I start early in the AM, it will be dry by the end of the day. You can pull your hair up in a high ponytail (will stretch hair) and wrap it up.  If you want your micro's to be really curly (like a wet set) go to step 5.
5. Group smaller twists (about 114 of them), into larger twists (total of 19 thicker ones) and pin curl the twists.  This is an extra step to make them extra curly.

Maintain Twists:

1. Each night I spray my twists with water.
2. Every other night I apply Shea Butter (to seal in moister).
3. Wrap hair (Pony tail or pin curls).
4. After about 2-3 weeks, I do have to re-twist my front, sides & back (my hair texture loosens), I can wear this style for about 6 weeks.

That's it for this style, photo's below:
