007newnew, a twisting expert in her own right, has a blog that gives tips and tricks on transitioning w/mini twists and tips for fully natural hair:

Luvbeinnatural, she's the mini twist queen as far as I'm concerned. She works out, washes her twists often and still maintains awesome hair. Here's one video, but check them all out:

Afrostory, my favorite youtuber, has several video's on her mini twists. Thought I would add another. She actually calls them micro "twa" twists:
