how do you do two stand twist?

Question

I have short natural hair. How do I make my two strand twists look nice and what products are best to use when doing it.

Answer 1

If you want a more polished look, use a cream w/hold or a gel. I use either CURLS Whipped Cream(purchased at www.curls.biz) or Organics Carrot Oil CreamI(which can be purchased at most drugstores).

After cleansing/conditioning the hair(detangling thoroughly while saturated with conditioner), apply a leave in and section the hair. It's best to do this on wet/damp hair. Take a small section of hair, apply the cream or gel(using a boar-bristled brush to smooth the hair), twist, and then swirl the ends around your fingers to hold the twist(it'll look like a little coil). After you've done the entire head, you can air-dry, or sit under a hooded dryer to set.The smaller the twists, the longer the twists will stay in.
