Mini two-strand twist


So... Last night I was up past 11:30 pm, twisting my 17 yr. old cousins hair. I had fun creating this mini two strand twist style because we got to bond over a really good documentary movie.  We just sat down and went for it.  She is about 98% natural with a few cm of relaxer left on the ends. she has been transitioning for about 1 yr. & tells how happy she is to be relaxer free. I totally know the feeling. She's a dimple face sweetie. So loving!
To create this look, I...

DEEP CONDITIONED, WASHED & CONDITIONED:
Skipped this whole process because she had already did it at home earlier.

STYLING AIDS & STYLING
Step 1. Lightly spray hair with water and olive oil mix. Finger detangle hair.  Focus on smoothing water & oil on ends of hair.
Step 2. Apply Be Mine Luscious Balanced Cream Moisturizer all over ends down to roots.
Step 3. Part hair into two sections- from ear to ear, diagonally. section off top portion above ear (larger amount of hair) for later use.
Step 4. Begin to grab little sections of hair about 2cm. I do not use a comb to part due to the small size of twist & We both like the look better. 
Step 5. Apply Trader Joes (tj) Organic Coconut oil to scalp of each little section of hair & Bee Mine Bee Hold Curly Butter to ends before twisting each individual two strand twist. Repeat this process of twisting toward the sectioned off portion of hair above ear.
Step 6. Repeat process for step 5 above ear for remaining hair. 
Step 7. When you get closer to the front /side of head make a small side part so that when you twist hair on either side of part it will naturally fall that way later.
Step 8. Spray ends of hair with water/ olive oil mix when finished twisting all hair.  This helps ends to naturally curl up with a nice pattern.
Step 9. See Pics Below. Enjoy Fam!
