African Hair Threading : No Heat Kinky To Straight Natural Hair

[@witchplease9695]

I used to hate my 4c hair. Thought it was the ugliest thing until I started watching your videos. I still prefer braids because I don't like how I look natural, but I see the beauty of 4c hair because of you. Thank you so much.

[@PureEstrogen]

Destinee I love braids too. I'm so glad I could encourage you. Thanks for watching. :)

[@niveachatman5884]

+Pure Estrogen what thread do you use ?

[@rinan4058]

this youtubers natural hair is soo cute!

[@LalaAlwaysAnd4Ever]

My mom use to thread my hair all the time when I was little, this is the best method to get our hair naturally straight without heat just by stretching it out.

[@PureEstrogen]

LalaAlwaysAnd4Ever Yes. I appreciate my mom for this so much.

[@SuperGarryf]

i love when the beautiful bold black women realize their natural stature is beautiful enough for us real black men.

[@saurlemnz7794]

+jack Francois AND YOU ARE A REAL BLACK MAN, THANK YOU SO MUCH SIR! :)))))

[@alexblak1008]

+Sksnn Snsn Plus she said she wore a wig for 4 damn days in between!!! THEY MISSED THE POINT!!!

[@Lordpraisethe]

awww

[@SuperGarryf]

first it was an acknowledgment for women beauty, not to impress us men. sometimes i wonder,a mind is a terrible thing to waste on hate.

[@janie1919]

I just want to thank you for having this channel bc it has been really helpful to me. I have been watching your videos all day!!! I have been relaxing my hair since I was like 4 or five and it's all I have ever done. When I was about 10 a woman used too strong of a relaxer and my hair started breaking off and i had to start fresh. It was a traumatic experience for me but I just grew it out natural, had braids all of the time, and two years later I got it relaxed again... Loved relaxed hair for a while, but after a year I went back to being natural bc I just didn't see the point in chemicals and damaged hair for no good reason, Now my whole family is going natural!!!! Needless to say we are all clueless. I have been getting braids letting it grow out, but this channel has been a life saver!!! 😊 Thanks you so much for sharing!!!

[@PureEstrogen]

Jane Sagoe I'm sorry about what happened to your hair. I'm glad you were able to recover and I'm glad my channel was helpful for you. :)

[@mr.wehavovercome347]

***** This is by no means any disrespect towards you, but you are so beautiful. This is why as a black man myself, i love seeing black women with their natural hair, you all are straight gorgeous. Peace to you.

[@PureEstrogen]

Mr. WehavOvercome Aww, thank you. =D

[@etcblogmag]

I loved it even before combing it out! Cute!

[@VictoriasBeautyGlamTV]

this is really cool. i am in the process of transitioning to natural through the grow out method so this is very helpful. thanks for sharing

[@PureEstrogen]

Aww, thanks. :)

[@PureEstrogen]

Vickie Bonita Thanks for watching. I'm glad it helped. :)

[@jeanettewalker8413]

[@ash86marie]

[@PureEstrogen]

Janay Dixon lol. Tell me about it.

[@amagglady]

Safest and most effective threading technique I've seen to date (And I'm South African and have been threading my hair for years now)!!! Great tips! Thanks for the video!

[@PureEstrogen]

amagglady Thanks. My grandma is South African and that's who my mom got this method from. :)

[@celestin1984]

I tried this, only left it in one day and my hair was very straight, very soft and very smooth. love it

[@PureEstrogen]

celestin1984 Yay! I'm glad it worked for you. :)

[@DiscoveringNatural]

I love how you secure the end of the thread. Great technique!

[@PureEstrogen]

DiscoveringNatural Thanks. I got that from my mom. :)

[@janeprepper177]

WHAAAAAAAAAT???????????????????? LOL! I didn't know you could do that to natural hair. That's freakin' awesome! cant wait for my hair to grow long enough to do this. Thanks for the video. :-)

[@PureEstrogen]

lol. You can do it on short hair too. :)

[@MsFrevrysPoetry]

omg! thank you! i completely forgot about threading hair, my mom use to do that all the time. Really helps the hair with growth, strength and streches as well. I am so doing this tomorrow. Haha thank you!

[@PureEstrogen]

+Thalie Ferry lol. You're welcome. It's a lifesaver.

[@deleciatatum2332]

This is perfect. I'm so glad I came across this I have never been able to get my hair straight the way I like it without going to a beautician now this is something I can try at home myself.

[@PureEstrogen]

Delecia Tatum Yeah, and it definitely helps with sculpted styles. I'm glad I could help. :)

[@jolorraine27]

I have never seen anyone do that to their hair before and I was so surprised by how straight your hair became. That is so awesome and I can't wait to try it on my own hair.

[@PureEstrogen]

jolorraine27 Thank you. :)

[@TheMsbells]

Your video is the BEST one explaining how to initially secure the thread. I couldn't get it when I tried it a year ago on my own head. I still have my thead, and thanks to you, I will be trying African threading again soon.

[@PureEstrogen]

TheMsbells Aww, thanks. i'm glad it helped. :)

[@elyseekristine]

Goodness. You are absolutely stunning! And it pleases me so much this is natural black hair :) love seeing black women embrace it.

[@PureEstrogen]

Thank you so much. :)

[@lerratto]

Wow. So gonna try this. Grew up in Africa doing this hairstyle as kids but never had the epiphany of it straightening hair. I absolutely hate natural hair but now you have made me see light at the end of the tunnel.

[@PureEstrogen]

lerratto lol. This is all my mom used to stretch my hair growing up in Africa. She saved me from the hot comb. I'm glad I could help.

[@llfhagen]

You are one of the prettiest youtubers I've ever seen and good info on threading. I love this technique for my daughter's hair especially to prepare for braiding styles.

[@PureEstrogen]

Wow. Thank you so much. Yeah, threading definitely helps me prep for styles as well. :)

[@vnd1313]

Best video on KZbin hands down. My mom used to do this to hair man I'm going back to doing it

[@PureEstrogen]

Valeria N Thanks so much. AHT has definitely been a lifesaver for me. :)

[@MoniTano]

Your hair looks great, ***** . I especially like the fro pictures at the beginning. I recall I threaded with yarn a couple of times cause that's what I had lying around the house.

[@PureEstrogen]

Moni Tano Thank you. Yarn works well too. :)

[@jacquelinenooner9386]

You're so pretty. Thanks for the post! I'm scared to try this. At least not until my hair is healthier.

[@PureEstrogen]

+Jacqueline Nooner Thank you. I understand. I've done it all my life, so I'm not concerned, but you can incur damage if it's done incorrectly.

[@ladyinmauve]

This is very beautiful.! Upgrade did a great job!!

[@sweetatounicorn3065]

I can't wait to do this for my niece! She will be so happy! I very rarely let heat near her hair.

[@PureEstrogen]

My hair looks soft, but it isn't. Trust me.

[@downtoaT]

New subbie! I need to try this. And I like that you can wear a wig on top while it's stretching. Thanks for sharing!

[@PureEstrogen]

downtoaT Yeah, I love that option too. Thanks for subbing. :)

[@TheLady2luv]

How long did the hairstyle last for?

[@kyrajohnson639]

Great tip about the ends of the hair! Now why didn't I think of that? :)

[@KinkyCurlyTop]

Beautiful results!

[@PureEstrogen]

[@michelleogidi3710]

My mom used to do this all the time when I was little, even when she relaxed my hair!

[@PureEstrogen]

My mom did it with my relaxer too. lol

[@rudimd]

Your hair is so beautiful girl!

[@PureEstrogen]

rudimd Thanks so much. :)

[@aleciaking9409]

this looks pretty cool I'll be sure to try this

[@PureEstrogen]

+Alecia King I hope it works out for you. :)

[@aleciaking9409]

+Pure Estrogen thank you

[@adriennesamantha]

Your natural hair so pretty! You should do modelling, honestly:O

[@PureEstrogen]

quiettepeakactually Thank you so much. :)

[@sierraland6912]

You are so pretty , I have been natural for about 6 months my hair after I cut the relaxed end went from my forehead to bridge of nostril but I have noticed that my left edge had been thinning and has some bald spots do you have any suggestion on what I should do it soo embarrassing

[@PureEstrogen]

aminata suma I'm so sorry about that. Sudden occurrences like that may be caused by either an unhealthy diet or underlying condition. Try increasing your fluids (water) and eat more fruits and veggies. Also, avoid pulling your hair in puffs because that may also be the culprit. If you notice any more thinning, I would definitely see a dermatologist.

[@912deborah]

onions and garlic will help that. if you have shedding do a black tea rinse once a month. and for oil use castor oil...you edges will grow back in no time

[@teirraallen8694]

Cici is beautiful ! Thanks for the vid

[@femia9367]

OMG. That's amazing. I'm following you. My inspiration 😍...my 4c hair is short. But ill make it for sure

[@PureEstrogen]

Girl, your hair will grow before you know it. I've been keeping mine at the same length for 4 years. Now I want to grow mine too. lol

[@solointheburbs]

you make it look sooo easyyy...I tried it on one section in the back 3x and um...fail. fail. fail. it kept slipping and wouldn't stay close to the root and then when I tried to take it out, to start over, it wouldn't slip easily. I am going attempt again and start earlier in the day instead of afternoon cause the results are exactly what I am looking for and we seem to have the same texture.

[@PureEstrogen]

elizabeth h Sorry. I guess I'm at an advantage because I grew up getting my hair threaded. You'll get the hang of it eventually. :)

[@christianjordan939]

I really enjoyed the video and I will be trying this out soon! I do have a couple of questions: How long will your hair stay stretched before you wash it again? What is your curl pattern like once its been washed? Does it revert back or is the curl pattern stretched?

[@PureEstrogen]

Christian Jordan It stays stretched until wash day. Humidity will make it shrink a little. It only fully reverts after I wash it or dunk it in water. I have my regular 4b/c pattern after washing. Thanks for watching.

[@seumatavares6885]

Now like a lot of your videos because they are very encouraging and it worth following them. What products can I use to do this, since not all cities have the same products that you presented in the video.Thanks

[@PureEstrogen]

seuma tavares You can use any one of your favorite creams and oil or you can do it the old fashioned way and use a little bit of water in place of a moisturizer and some oil/ shea butter. Use very little water or your hair will take a couple of days to dry.

[@CoilyHairedBeauty]

Great video! I love threading, too!

[@PureEstrogen]

CoilyHairedBeauty Thank you. Yeah, threading's pretty awesome. :)

[@BellaJournista]

Your videos are so informative. Do you have any threading styles that you wear to work and in public while it dries as a protective style?

[@PureEstrogen]

BellaJournista I don't, but I want to start doing it in June.

[@Angelicwarrior37]

Good video..I really love African threading.

[@PureEstrogen]

+Angelicwarrior37 Yeah, me too. Thanks for watching.

[@teremertz]

Beautiful. I would like to try this on my daughters 4A hair. Does it not tangle when you remove the thread? You simply start pulling at the ends of the thread to remove? Thank you very much for you video.

[@PureEstrogen]

It doesn't tangle. I just unravel it and it's fine. Thanks for watching.

[@ash86marie]

Im trying this next month when i take out my singles

[@bwilks7059]

I feel like I just watched some black magic...amaaaaaaaazing!

[@PureEstrogen]

B Wilks lol. Thanks. :)

[@chollie09]

What products do you put on this style to moisturize it? Just a leave in? How do you sleep on it to maintain it? How long does this last for you, any up keep? Haha I have so many questions!! Lovely video :)

[@PureEstrogen]

Candace Merritt I usually just use an oil or butter while it's straight. I tie a scarf on my head or sleep with a bonnet. It stays stretched until wash day. It will revert a little, but it will never get close to kinky. :)

[@ChocolatteMami]

Beautiful. I need to try this. Tfs

[@PureEstrogen]

***** Thanks and let me know how it works for you.

[@bribricotin659]

does this method only stretch out the hair or does it grow the hair to? basically can you were this as a protective style can it be left in your hair for like 2 weeks

[@kaylopoan3411]

bri bri Cotin yes it can be a protective style I actually love this as one of my top protective styles

[@PureEstrogen]

bri bri Cotin It can be a protective style. I do leave it in for up to 2 weeks at a time. I just mist it with a light moisturizer. Traditionally, people would just style their hair with thread like they would braids or twists.

[@florencenavhaya6465]

It can be stretch and also be a protective style.if you want to see more beautiful styles of African threading you can search Zimbabwean magodi on you tube

[@khadysamba6873]

you have beautiful hair , so thick n i think its long but i cant even exlapin how much i love your hair

[@gabriellexsara]

Love the results. What thread did you use because weave thread doesn't seem to do the trick for me.

[@PureEstrogen]

+Gabby Abordo I use high strength weaving thread from Sallys.

[@natashamcclinton646]

Nice results... what kind of thread did you use? Can i use the regular thread for sewing clothes? Or can i use the thread that is used to sew in extensions?

[@PureEstrogen]

+Natasna McClinton I used weave thread. If you use sewing thread, you have to double or triple it otherwise it will snap.

[@HippieGoddess142]

Wow! This is so neat but seems complicated and time consuming for me. lol

[@PureEstrogen]

HippieGoddess142 lol. It gets easier over time.

[@errisasaunders7560]

I stretch mine by using the little black scrunchies and it gives the same effect

[@chiamakaedokwe5543]

Best video ever! I love it.

[@PureEstrogen]

Aww, thank you so much.

[@PicassoBabyDC]

unbelievable before and after :)

[@PureEstrogen]

EC DC Thank you. :)

[@TERTOTREN]

Hi. After you take the thread out how do you keep your hair from frizzing up until you wash it again.

[@PureEstrogen]

nono namer It typically stays stretched enough for me. You can thread large sections at night (4-6) with oil/ shea butter at night.

[@kamdemcarole2300]

I usually wet my hair then do the threading leaving near to no space between the tiding, I remove the thread when my hair is totally dry that is about 2 to 3 days. having a 3A 3B hair my hair looks pretty straight after but with volume.

[@PureEstrogen]

kamdem carole Yeah, that's the traditional way.

[@MsEliteForever]

Thank you,so just water is fine. I'm a use floss too

[@gennawalker5275]

Is this done on wet, dry, or semi dry hair?!? I'm loving the technique and can't wait to try it.. Just need to know when's the best time... Also can I use my q redew to refresh once it's stretched

[@PureEstrogen]

Genna Walker It was dry. You can do it on your hair in any state. If it's wet, wait at least two days before removing the thread. You can refresh it with your q redew. :)

[@charmaineespeut4627]

I can't wait to try this!

[@riqued6426]

this looks good but wouldn't single braids be faster?

[@PureEstrogen]

hesso debonair I don't know. I guess it depends on the person.

[@IntentionallyJeannette]

I'd like to try this. Are you using hair weaving thread ?

[@PureEstrogen]

Jeannette Turner Yes, I am. It's the high strength weaving thread from Sally's.

[@daisyscarlet4858]

Idk why but I tried this and it made my scalp tender!!): yours looks fabbbb though I just wish I could take the tension ):💓

[@PureEstrogen]

Thanks. You can make it looser at the roots.

[@Whakuiza]

Are there other things you can use instead of that butter cream hydrator? I have pomade for instance, is that a possibility?

[@PureEstrogen]

Yeah, pomade is fine. That's what my mom used to use on my hair.

[@selenalamothe997]

You are gorgeous and so is your hair! Also will yarn braids stretch out my hair? Thats what i have in, currently.

[@PureEstrogen]

Selena Lamothe Thank you. I think they should be able to stretch your hair.

[@Iroc314072]

How long does it take to master this technique? I'm tired of mine looking sloppy and I'm about ready to give up. Your hair is beautiful in the threads. I would wear that as a style by itself.

[@PureEstrogen]

Iroc314072 It was easy for me because my mom always did it, but it might take a few tries. It's really easy once you learn to secure the hair properly.

[@jaylashay9276]

What type of hair do you have?.. I'm 22 years old but was adopted when I was little by Caucasian people and while I love my family dearly I have absolutely no idea how to take care of my hair. I've been natural for a few years now and it's just awful. I have 4c hair bad edges bad breakage and I'm clueless..I usually just leave it up in braids. Please help! Anybody!

[@PureEstrogen]

jaylashay92 I have mostly 4c hair and a little patch of 4b in the front. I can do a regimen building video in the future.
