What's your method?
I twist on damp or dry slightly stretched hair.
Products? I'm still trying to find the right product, but right now i'm using Oyin Shine and Define.
Pics? (had to add it in...) this is the only one I have
Do you blow dry before twisting? Nope
Any other stretching techniques?
After detangling/washing/moisturizing and sealing I twist my hair in big ugly twist to keep my hair from getting tangled and to stretch it a bit.
What secrets/tips do you have for a new two-strand twister?
practice makes perfect! You'll find your rhythm

What's your method? I 2 strand twist on dry hair
Products? CRN fresh curl, keracare twist and define cream and komaza
Califa moisturizing cream
Pics? (had to add it in...) don't have any recent ones.
Do you blow dry before twisting? No, but I rollerset and air dry prior to twisting to stretch my hair.
Any other stretching techniques? Sometimes I rollerset under the hooded dryer.
What secrets/tips do you have for a new two-strand twister?
Take your time
Don't "borrow " hair - try to make your 2 sections as equal as possible
Make your sections diagonal, rather than in squares to make your hair looks fuller.

Thanks you for replying. How long do you keep your twists in?

It depends. I like to wash and dc weekly, but at times I will leave them in for 2 weeks, re-moisturizing every 3-5days.

I really like!
I feel like mine sometimes starts off looking similar but then after a few days of spritzing and moisturizing they get frizzy.
How do you maintain them during the week? How long would you keep these in before refreshing them?

Thank you!
I only use water laced with eo's to moisturize my twist and Moringa oil to seal. Before using this combo I've used other spray moisturizers along with avocado oil, and that also works for me. Also, I do not start the daily moisturizing process until the end of week 1 (Thursday/Friday) because I baggie every night my hair stays moisturized from my wash and dc for 4 to 5 days afterwards. By week 2 my twist start to look frizzy too...so normally, I will take them down mid second week and wear a twist out or deal with the frizz and style my twist in a bun.

Products: As I am Curl Define Cream, Spray bottle and water on freshly washed/conditioned hair
Pics: None yet, just washed, not sure if I'm doing twists tonight
I never blow dry my hair. But I have twisted my hair dry..I just wet it with the spray bottle before twisting.
I never stretch my hair.
There's nothing to it, but to do it. You have to find the products and technique that works for you.
