♥ 12 ♥ African Threading: How to Remove

[@anqeiicdemise]

You're so gentle! I really wish my Mum had been that kind to my hair as a kid. It would've saved me tons of headaches.

[@superslyfoxx1]

Your videos are amazing! Thanks so much for showing us these techniques. This is something that is truly a gift to those of us who admire African techniques that we never learned or experienced before. Your daughter is so pretty and you are gorgeous. Thanks again for sharing with us.

[@LPamen]

I will definitely go back to these styles :). There are so pretty and easy. I'll learn how to do them on my own hair.

[@kenbrid]

[@joanolisa1]

I remember as a little girl back in Africa, I had this style 90 percent of the time, and my hair grew sooooo long!

[@TheLadybugJr]

YOU Are Absolutely WONDERFUL!!!!...Thank You So Much For Sharing Your Knowledge!! This Is Something I Can Learn And Use For My Daughter And Teach Her To Use It For Herself And Maybe One Day For Her Own Daughters (Who Knows?) LOL...But Thank You Again For ALL The Videos You Post They Have Been So Helpful To Me!!! Will Be Looking For More! I Hope Your Family And You Stay Blessed! :-)

Love it. What do you do with the stretched hair? Do you have any suggestions for protective styles with stretched hair?

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@0110tasha When my girls were babies, I would leave their hair out and keep it moisturized. I'd wash it every time they had a bath then apply lots of olive oil. To style I'd comb it out & decorate with bows and clips. When their hair grew to a couple of inches I started to braid it. I would section it into about 12 sections and do small Ghana plats. I’d fold each braid so the tip of the plat touched the root of the forming a loop. Then I'd use thread or hair tie to secure. Hope this helped.

[@HAIRMODEL4YOU]

too cute thank you so much. my daughter hair is soft and shorter. i will try my best to do this style.

[@missboykin8]

@GirlsLoveYourCurls this hairstyle is very nice on your daughter hair..but i also like your hair style..can u do a video on how u did ur hairstyle please?

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@Longhairstile :) I understand. You can get weave thread from any beauty supply store. I think Sally’s sell it and maybe Ulta? Basically anywhere where they sell hair extensions and weaves should carry some. They usually keep it behind the counter, so be sure to ask. :)

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@MrsMozzie123 It's funny you should ask that. I just discovered that the answer is yes and no. Yes, you can just knot them and leave the ends, but you have to make sure the braids are a certain thickness or they will just coil up around themselves. I just tried using thinner braids than usual, on my daughter and they got messy very quickly. For this reason I'm sticking to thicker braids. I put beads on the end too, which helps to stop them unraveling. I have a vid on that coming up :).

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@Longhairstile Hi! I'm so glad you found the video helpful. I use weave thread because it's so much stronger than regular thread and will hold the style intact for longer. I've never actually used yarn, but it seems quite thick and may soak up some of the moisture? I would probably rub some type of oil over it first to help counter that. Some people rub oil over regular thread too, but I've not found it necessary. Hope this helped! Thanks for watching :)

[@JoMinta_Official]

@MrsMozzie123 You can do the ghana braids and leave them in without them unravelling. It all depends on how much thread goes around the hair and the knot at the end. I am ghanaian and I plait my hair and leave it in for about a week without unravelling easily. I also stretch my hair using this method. Hope this helps.

[@honeycomb368]

Hello, Thank you for your wonderful videos. I've tried this style this weekend and I think I may be knotting the ends incorrectly. My knots are at the end, but there is some hair in the knot. Is that correct? How far past the braid do you make a knot or tie it off?

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@CherishMyDaughter Brilliant! It would look so lovely on your daughters hair!!! Let me know how it goes. x

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@kenbrid Honestly, I change it depending on what I think their hair needs. The basic mix is always Shea butter coconut oil and jojoba oil. In cooler months I add heavier oils like olive oil or castor oil. If their hair needs moisture I'll put some of the Shea mix in a small container and add Aloe Vera juice to it. I only make small amounts, as needed, because when you add liquid to Shea butter (without a preservative) it spoils. So I mix a small amount of this and keep it in the fridge.

[@ashleighmccall]

You should literally host a hair care demo where we bring our daughters and practice! Thanks so much =)

[@Shari4ever]

I love your videos!!

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@HairAndHealing Ahh, thank you! I really appreciate your support! :)

[@AKIYIAKELLY]

thanks for this video

[@CherishMyDaughter]

I am going to try this! I just need some weave thread.

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@Thelev3ltnx Great! They are great protective styles.

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@superslyfoxx1 Thank you so much! Natural hair can be overwhelming if you don't know what to do with it. It's a blessing to share what I've learned and to learn from others too! :)

[@franzabananza]

Ur mini twists r so cute can u do a tutorial?

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@cyinergist I wanted to show that actually, but we were running late. When I went to take the puffs down, my daughter said she loved them, so I just brushed and fluffed them out to neaten. :)

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@kenbrid No problem! I love that the vids actually help other mums. I love that you tried the style out and it worked well for you. You'll really see a difference in the hair when you take it down. Thanks for watching! :)

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@sandnsea212 Thank you! :) I just replied your last comment. I usually use stretched hair to showcase unprotected styles (ends out) or just to make it easier to flat twist or corn row. There can't think of any protective styles I do that require stretched hair. Some styles will have a different look to them when the hair is stretched. It will usually make hair look a little longer. I will defiantly make videos on those styles too. :)

[@AKIYIAKELLY]

thanks for the video... You guys are both so Petty!

[@ElenaWilkins10]

ur daughter is soo beautiful and so is her hair. How did u get it soo long and have it stay long. By the way im eleven so ur videos really help me because i can understand them better. :o)

[@kenbrid]

Thanks for the answer, but i would also like to know how you mixed it???

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@cosmic130 Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to comment. :)

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@kenbrid I just put the ingredients together and mixed them with a hand held mixer.

[@0110tasha]

thank you so much how can i protect my baby hair with her hair being short she 2 years old and her hair is short in the backand the sides

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@Onajagirl Hi! Yes, each braid has its own thread. :)

[@thequeen025]

Do you have a video on how you moisturize while the hair is still in plats with thread ???

[@kenbrid]

Thank you..that was what i was looking for....

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@diane172518 Yes, it can be done on shorter hair, if it's long enough to gather into buns, without pulling on the scalp. They might be smaller buns, but it can be done. There are other styles you can do, using African threading, if the hair is too short, for this style. I will be demonstrating these in future demos.

[@kenseniadean9203]

I have a question? What if you get your hair wet, does it mess with the string and get it knotted into the hair or tangles and blends with the hair? I want to try this but I scared that if I get it wet I will have to cut my hair in order to get the string out.

[@TheAquarius13]

Good video i will be trying this weekend

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@morgank98 Hi! I have a couple of versions depending on what I'm using it for. Both have shea butter and coconut oil as the main ingredients, A lot of people have asked me so I want to make a video showing how I make it.. I have another protective style video coming up next, so it will be the one after that. Thanks for watching!

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@PalaisCristalLLC Thank you hun! x

[@Onajagirl]

HI GIRL, DID U USE INDIVIDUAL THREAD FOR EACH BRAID???

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@joanolisa1 Yes!! My sisters and I did too and we all grew long hair. :)

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@Shari4ever Thank you! :)

[@who511]

you two are gorg

[@kenbrid]

By the way with what and how do u mix ur shea butter ???

[@morgank98]

What do you use in your shea butter mixture?

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@kenbrid Great! Glad it helped. :)

[@cyinergist]

How did you end up styling her hair?

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@ManeofCurls89 No. It's not difficult to remove and just slips off.

[@2zahrah]

how often do you wash your kids hair

[@greenietots]

How does this style work with swimming

[@SuperShyshy23]

can you do this one yourself?

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@nikjohn77 Ha! You have GREAT taste. LOL x

[@poupinetteish]

hi how to grow hair

[@glamazini]

I bought thread to try this type of style YEARS ago and never did it. I wonder where that thread is, hmmmm....

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@missboykin8 Thank you! There are sooo many natural hair channels for adults, so I made the decision not to do my own. There is a PRETTYDIMPLES01 tutorial where she uses EXACTLY the same technique I do! But I use Giovanni Direct 10 leave in conditioner and my shea butter mix to seal. It's a great tutorial. she put it up 2 weeks ago (30th Jan). It's entitled "hair with volume. (request)". Please check it out! I will probably show how I do the technique on my girls too. :) x

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

@glamazini Find it and try it! You'll be glad you did. :)

[@shegegirl]

What song are you using? I really like it.

[@CandiceLolaStory]

OMG your daughter is so stinking cute!

[@ElenaWilkins10]

and im african american. :o)
