How to curl your Kinky Twist W/ Pipe-cleaners

When I first got my kinky twists my curl weren't "tight" they were very loose. Curl pattern is personal preference though, and I wanted a tighter curl. This is a cheap way to achieve a tighter curl with out having to go out and buy curling rods.To curl your kinky twists using this method
You will need:
-Pipe cleaners
-Hot water
-A cup or bowl
-Blow Dryer (optional)


STEP ONE:
Separate hair into sections and begin wrapping your hair around the pipe cleaners like you would a "flexi-rod". (The smaller  the sections the tighter the curl)


STEP TWO:
Boil water or heat it in the microwave in either a tall cup or a bowl.


STEP THREE:
CAUTION: Be VERY careful, putting a towel around your neck with help prevent burns.
Dip your hair section by section into the hot water for about 30 seconds for each section. 


STEP FOUR:(OPTIONAL)
This step is optional but I feel it helps "lock" in the curl.
Put your blow dryer on medium and blow dry the hair while it is still rolled up.


STEP FIVE:
Unroll the hair and VIOL-A you're finished.


The curls last for a while if you feel they're dropping just re do this process.
