Two Strand Twist a Quick How Two

Simple and easy alternative to single braids: TWO STRAND TWIST

SO in an effort to leave my hair alone and grow it back, I’ve decide it to do the Kinky Twists. It came out really cute and didn’t take that long (If you cute out the breaks I took in between). I would total it up to three-four hours.


It was reall simple. I used the Afro Marley Braids in Black and A black and Burgendy mixture. I bought to bags but had to go to the store and get another one. Total I used 2 ¼ bags of hair. I cute each weft of hair in half and then halved each piece.
You start out by braiding about 1 finger-width of hair onto the same amount of your hair. Once you have braided less about one half inch you start two strand twisting. In order to get the twist to stay you have to rotate each strand between your fingers before twisting together with the other strand of hair.

After I finished my entire head, I curl each piece with boiling hot water and medium rod curles (The kinds with the rubberband, yellow) The result was a very cute almost mini dred look with black in the front (I work at a bank and crazy colors are frowned upon) and red in the back. I bring out the red when it’s party time!!!

Here are some examples, If you email me I will try to take a video or step by step pics.

I also picked up DR. Miracles braid relief spray, to stimulate my scalp and keep it moisturized while my braids are up. I will keep it up a maximum of 2 months. Anything longer and I risk build up, strain on my roots, and breakage.
