5 Safe Ways To Stretch Kinky Natural Hair

[@CentricSistaJY]

What methods do you use to stretch your hair?

[@fantasticfavour]

CentricSista I use mostly the threading and braids works well for me.

[@chemirem.3934]

CentricSista blow drying. All the time. But now I use the instyler comb. Once my hair has been partially stretched with braids. I just press the comb on top of the hair. I don’t comb it through cuz it can straighten the hair. I press it for like five seconds and move don the strand. It is so fast! I swear. Perfectly stretched hair in to minutes. It’s awesome for emergency hair fixes. And none of the sweating associated with a blow dry.

[@bobthebuilder1426]

Blow drying and combing. It makes my hair longer

[@CentricSistaJY]

Kelly Powell I haven't heard of the comb but I'm going to look it up. Thanks for sharing! :)

[@VeryKinkyCurl]

Banding or chunky braids

[@alextroy9202]

THIS IS 4C hair! Plus love that she’s darkskin

[@lyrical_love]

That's not important. She's beautiful. Black gold (dark skin) or melanin dripped in honey (light skin). . Both forms of melanin rock! 😍😍

[@taylorwoodruff2781]

Daughter of The Most High yes it does ! Us darkskin women go through it with our skin and colorism

[@alextroy9202]

Girl! You looked so radiant!! I'm definitely going to give the bun with moose and the yarn a try, since I can't braid my hair to save my life! Thanks so much for sharing! 💕

[@dojicatmaxonmaxmium8072]

+CentricSista what cream do you use for your hair?

[@fmcneill2129]

I've watched a lot of these types of videos and always find the comments to be entertaining. It seems to me that most were more focused on your complexion and not the excellent tutorial that you provided. Thank you for showing the various ways to stretch our hair type, in one sitting. It's like one stop shopping. I would add that roller sets can also be used. P.S You truly do have beautiful skin :-)

[@JF-ru3jg]

Love your channel! The yarn draws moisture out of your hair. It's like wearing a wool hat/scarf. The equivalent to wrapping your hair in a sweater or cotton fabric. They sell plastic threads that you can use for stretching without the moisture loss and stiffness that yarn and cotton threads will create. You can also sit under the dryer to speed drying time with no issue.

[@queeniemccarter3244]

Bun looks gorgeous on you. Shows off your beautiful face

[@danadunn9363]

Natashya Mitchell-Hendrix I don’t do gels, they have too many scientific additives in the jar.

I hate myself every time I just slightly touch my hair I suddenly convince myself I need to do another hair style 😭😭

Truth Johns You're not alone. You're welcome :)

[@Jayariee]

You can also try mixing a cream and thick oil

[@bukskarl]

Truth Johns and me too. I can't stand gels at all. Never used it and never will. No aloe Vera either

[@wordswitha7]

@Chigozirim ᴖᴥᴖ Aloe vera is just natural gel lol

[@danadunn9363]

Truth Johns I don’t gel either, I’m scared of those long scientific names in the jar. I’m a new user and believer of She’s Butter. Had to do several trials and errors but I’m good now

[@homieg7000]

Wow! You are so Beautiful! Black girl Magic is real, I love your complexion and you eyes! You got it going on! I don't try anymore to stretch my hair cause it usually doesn't work. I moment I take the style out it draws right back up.

[@CentricSistaJY]

Lelia Young Thank you and I understand what you mean. Shrinkage is no joke.

[@solopenny]

I have the exact same problem. So I guess if you want stretched styles you'd have to stretch the hair every night??

[@alnsubuga]

Penny McConnell - That's what I do. Even with a satin scarf or bonnet, my 4c hair tangles and knots very easily. This is despite regular trims and daily hydration 😩

[@awfuljay_9062]

Penny McConnell ur hair length is very important in stretching. When my hair was shorter, the humidity would cause it to shrivel up. But as my hair has gotten longer, it stays stretched for a longer amount of time 💓

[@sweetpeach3293]

@@awfuljay_9062 Exactly

[@ebuddy2cute]

Your skin is absolutely stunning!!!

[@naturalbeauty_abena1230]

I used to do African threading but like you said it takes up to two days to dry. So now I use blow dry on warm. It lasts me a month till my next wash. Thanks for sharing

[@CentricSistaJY]

Naturalbeauty_abena Blow drying is definitely the fastest way to go. My hair benefits from it also.

[@FlairelleNet]

I use bunning when my hair is long enough, banding, blowdrying and braiding. Wow Love your Skin

Ive been looking for stretching hair bands techiques videos for 4c hair, bc a lot of women who are on here doing it don't have 4c hair, they have 4a or 3c or something. but when I saw you, I said I KNOW she has 4c hair lol. youre video was informative and well done.:) thank you for uploading.

I like that yarn method. It looks cool. I would just wear my hair regularly in lots of those. Like faux dreads. Also, you have the most beautiful skin and such a cute face TT.

[@journee2god686]

It’s dry when you use the thread method because you aren’t using the right thread. Yarn is like a cotton pillowcase it’s gonna suck all the ,moisture out your hair.

[@CentricSistaJY]

Journee2GodI understand but I've tried threading with braiding thread and the thread used for sew-ins and I still get the same results each time so the yarn doesn't make a difference. I've also done yarn twists twice before and it did not dry out my hair.

[@GegeP1804]

I heard people try the plastic thread and its less drying.

[@eepouabain1960]

CentricSista this is from a long time ago but if u still thread dip the thread in oil first

[@daneeshamurrain8029]

That glide with the wide tooth comb is pure satisfaction! Thank you for this video, super helpful!

[@pumzamlondi8538]

You are so stunning! I have a really tight curl and interestly, now that you've mentioned it, I think two strand twist work better for me. Compared to braid. I'm definitely going to try the other methods! 💖

[@bobthebuilder1426]

I love these. I can't do some off these though. I don't have enough hair to thread or braid. It sucks. I use to have a lot of hair but my sister flat ironed it without a heat treatment. So after that, my hair started falling out and it still is. I just got my ends clipped and I hope that my hair grows. My short hair sucks. I want my long hair back

[@bobthebuilder1426]

Princess Jasmine thank you so much. Instead of that oil can I use wild gro?
