So I have a 4C TWA, I wanted to give my hair a break from heat so instead of blow drying before I installed my crochet braids, I did twists to and my hair was so much better to work with than completely shrunken. It was only half stretched but I learned the hard way that something is better than nothing 😂

[@Mac.Lowrey]

Yessss don't make them too tight!! Learned that the hard way 🥴 you'd think it's something you would keep in mind when doing your own hair but I definitely didn't 😂

[@FinallyAmber]

If this ain’t the truth. Happens to me more than I’d like to admit 🥴🤣

[@Misspooh001]

Chile I hurt myself and had the nerve to have an attitude 😂😂😂

[@kamikoils9336]

Lawwwwwwd my cousin is beautiful 🥰 Ok back to the video...

[@kamikoils9336]

Great tips!!! And yes cousin having to stop cuz you ran outta hair is THE WORST!!! I actually went to a salon to have my hair braided when I was transitioning back to natural (before I said F it and went on and Big Chopped). She underestimated how much hair I had and advised me to buy less bags. Mind you I reiterated SEVERAL times the length and thickness of my hair when making my appointment, even sent her a pic.

Hey cousin! I am happy for this video and to see your face! I will take all these tips to heart as I have been self braiding for a few years now and it's getting better slowly but surely. Thanks for the information ❤

[@ValentinoQ]

I appreciate that! And I appreciate YOU! Thanks for watching!

[@marianb2530]

How you been? I have been thinking about you and I hope all is well with you. Yes, I agree regarding the rubberbands. I did a few just to try it out, and I suspected it was going to be a "no." I appreciate your videos. "What's up?" I haven't been around that long, but long enough, lol!

[@tiffanyrauls2910]

Didn’t realize dipping wasn’t the thing to do...... all my life I been dipped lol but nice tip don’t wanna ruin the hair right when I finish it

[@FinallyAmber]

Lol Dipping is definitely ok! Just the ends tho! Dont want to dry out your real hair! 🙌🏾

[@briannawoodard8546]

Wassup cousin!!!

[@FinallyAmber]

What’s up cousin!!!

[@cynthiaadams4322]

I learned not to use the rubber band method at all it too heavy with the extensions

[@FinallyAmber]

Gotcha. Definitely have to what’s best for you. You know your hair better than anyone. It works ok for me with jumbo styles. 👌🏾

[@kinghill500]

Hey cousin 🤗🤗🤗 🥰🥰🥰

[@FinallyAmber]

Hey cousin! 🌻

[@myrnaj4502]

[@jpretty2u]

Another way to stretch your hair if you don’t want to put heat on it is to use curls formers.

[@FinallyAmber]

Whew. That truly doesn’t work for me 😩😩😩 But if that works for you that’s definitely a great heartless option. I use the RevAir so thankfully I don’t have to worry about the heat damage factor when blow drying 🙌🏾

[@juniorchavesopicassodeyahu988]

You are so Gorgeous 🌹🌹💖💖💖💖

[@FinallyAmber]

Aww thank you so much!

[@monicabranch7011]

Girl that dipping the braids I keep saying that. I’ve seen people dip the hair so high and just sit it there. I’m like uhhhh your hair is in there. It’s frying it.

[@shellyb.8055]

What is the length in your hair now ?

[@FinallyAmber]

This isn’t the Janet Collection, but it’s 26inch pre-stretched 👌🏾

[@ShirleyAnn]

What’s up cousin
