FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF THE CWK GIRLS STRETCH PLATES ON KINKY CURLY NATURAL HAIR

*This video is not sponsored.*
These hair tools were sent to me by CWK Girls and I've been seeing them around Instagram for a few years now so I wanted to give them a try!
Items Included:
"The Perfect Combo" Tool Kit
12 Rubber Plates
24 Spiral Rods
36 Purple Plates
You can find these at: www.cwkgirls.com
I sat under my hooded dryer for about an hour and 30 minutes. The Rubber Plates were very comfortable and I could easily tuck them in my satin cap and sleep overnight, however, I do not think I could sleep in the spiral rods.
I only had Aussie Moist (not CG Friendly - I was out of my regular conditioner) in my hair.

I never realized I would have to explain the concept of LIGHTING and REFLECTORS to people, but I do understand we may have some children here. My hands are not "glowing". While I would love to claim to be descended from Glow Worms (bummer!), unfortunately... the glow that you're seeing is the result of sitting in front of STUDIO LIGHTING (a ring light + 2 box lights) while having an oil/serum on my hands. Hate to disappoint the trolls. Maybe I'll get a hold of some of that "heart shaped flower" from Black Panther and I'll glow purple next time 🙃

Finally Amber 😂😂😂

[@sophiahall6328]

Finally Amber straight up I just thought it was like a highlighter or something looked pretty cool to me lol

[@akelatillmon4557]

Thank you,did not know about these.I can finally catch a break from banding my hair😌😌😌

[@Sierrabrs]

Not that deep

[@frankieloinandgroin]

Imagine being offended over people saying you glow.

[@munchkin4887]

I know this is kinda of random to say but she's sooooo pretty bare faced. With makeup too of course😊

[@FinallyAmber]

Aww thank you! ❤️😘

[@fakeapplestore4710]

Yep extremely beautiful skin

[@satanslittlehamburgerhelpe6592]

I am not a black girl looking for alternative hair styling devices. "Quite the opposite" I'm just some guy that got really baked, and stuck around for the next video that started automatically. "Which happened to be this one" i fail to understand how it goes from the Spongebob Anime intro To this.. But I digress. You were very clear on your instructions as well as the product brands you were representing. *LIKE

[@MojoMinaj]

Cousin we need a video on both styles why you playin?!

[@god563616]

I cant believe this!!! You made this video 6 years ago and I am just now learning this today!! Thank you for the demonstration! I need this now!

[@anna-gl5ih]

coily e-plates on Amazon

[@Ponymedic104]

Same I saw a video on this a week ago on Instagram but I lost the video! I was searching “pink and purple rods to stretch out hair” because I totally forgot about the video as JUST NOW I just remembered it. I then saw this video pop up on my google search 😅

[@sashakay3]

Curl style with the rods!! Thanks so much for testing these; I've been looking at these forever!!!!!!! Nice results with both.

[@RosieBrownie]

This was exactly what I was trying to achieve in high school. So where have THESE tools been all my life?? 😤😤🙏

[@marieke.g]

Rosie Brown for the curls you could just use straws, works on every hair

[@armanitarae]

Maybe you can use these stretchers when you have done a wash and go

[@blackgirlscholarx4310]

Armani Smith I'm curious about how well these would stretch a wash n go, too!

[@Nona-wc6hs]

You’re sooo pretty 💕

[@ololadeshadare3888]

My thoughts exactlt

[@KC-eq3rt]

I just love the corkscrew curls..looks so good on you! You're so pretty I think any hair style would be gorgeous on you.

[@brown14suga]

I'm so glad you did this video! I've been wanting to get these since going natural, but I haven't seen them in a while and forgot they exist! I have to try these

[@xoIVORYxo]

Wow these came out! I remember seeing the start up for this year's ago. The curl side looks great.

[@kinlabelle1]

Wow! Glad they finally were able to release this product! It's been in the works for ages.

[@abbii13able]

Thank you so much for this video, Cousin! I've been wanting to try these for yearssss

[@rect835]

Ever since subscribing to you on my old account, my hair has grown like crazy. I rarely wear weave anymore. 99% of the time, I rock my own tresses and get sooo many compliments. Thank you. Subscribed on this new account just now.

[@FinallyAmber]

COUSINNNN! Now that I know the purple clips can go on the base of the spiral rods (🤦🏾‍♀️) I really want to try the spiral rods again! But I also really loved the rubber plates because they were so easy! 😩 I can’t decide!

[@TheHeebieGeebie]

Try again! Maybe with setting lotion?

[@Tishasspicyworld]

Do a video for each one. I would like to see them both done in a style. I like both sides!

[@skytriff]

Finally Amber loved the video. What is the name of the brush you're using and the name of your section clips?

[@TT-xj3si]

Both

[@ladygodiva813]

great demo! I wanted these a while back but I need waaaaay longer plates too! 😢

[@ArianSage]

Maybe for the hair that's too long for the plates, you could wrap it around the back of the plate and clamp it that way.?

[@angelawilson6406]

Sergeant_Smidget I was thinking the same thing 😉

[@actually_michelle]

Sergeant_Smidget but I feel like that would leave a weird kink in the middle of the hair. Right ?

[@angelawilson6406]

It could but ,if you are planning to style it further it might not matter. I think it depends on what u plan to do with your hair after. And a dent in your hair or still completely curly at the end... I might be okay with a dent 🤔😊😉

[@BeautyfulButterfly13]

The curls are so cute. Love it

[@InsomniOwl_]

Beautiful! Love it cousin! You are GORGEOUS!

[@imnetworking2k12]

Girl, your curls are popping! And, these pallets I have to get my hands on!

[@sandic8172]

I like both of your results. I have the stretch plates but not the spirals. Thank you for sharing this tutorial with us. 😘😘👏👏👏

[@saritawilson7529]

Wow! Both sides look amazing. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@khayacarter9714]

I really like these results! I have seen these a lot on instagram! I’m impressed! 👌🏾

[@monekascott7782]

I would love see a stretched style with the plates.

[@dinahdmm6766]

I love both sides, they are simply gorgeous!

[@kapparhotau181]

I wonder if cwk girls went out of business cuz I've check their site gor almost 6 mos and there is no way to purchase these plates. They would be perfect for my hair. But someone found a DIY way, material: cheap plastic $1 binder and bobby pins. Very similar results, I guess I will have to try that

[@ayahsoospecial6727]

I was actually coming to the page for exactly this. I ordered a pack when they first came out and now I need more but they are nowhere to be found now. I wonder what happened.

[@lindsaypaige4628]

The curls looked amazing!

[@ladynefertitibk]

Those curls though. Gorgeous.

[@vaporwaves6154]

oh! your hair is like mine! now I have a beautiful model to test out stuff that could work for my hair. thanks for this video! keep up the good work, gurl.

[@chezbridges9347]

I haven't even finished watching, but I'm extremely excited already lol

[@greyline1012]

[@gabriellaortiz7114]

I think your hair is so beautiful!

[@naturalsouthernbelle4327]

Cousin I’m go need you to come thru with a curl style with the rods. That side was looking BOM!!!🙌❤️😍

[@nickolgordon4715]

[@ixchelskyfeather2513]

Thank you for doing this video. I will be sending this to my daughter to see if she wants to try them.

[@shantia_30]

Ok cousin I see you with the 70k!!!!!

[@PurpleReign413]

Loved the intro Amber 😍. And I vote for both 🙌🏾

[@FinallyAmber]

PurpleReign 413 thanks sis! ❤️

[@taizhas7410]

looks good!! 😍 I want to try these products.

[@sophiawright4337]

Yes please do more videos with these!

[@sophiawright4337]

And can the plates fit both sides of your head? Sorry if you mentioned in the video

[@Lese203]

Your natural curls are so pretty! Also I’ve seen these stretchers (by con air I think?) in Walmart in the early 00’s! Cool video!

[@psr076]

I wanted to try those for at leather two years. Glad you did. They don't ship to Canada

[@msnugget4283]

I dont have this but i have rulers and bobby pins

[@FinallyAmber]

Lol We stan a creative queen! 😍😂

[@naturally_me7778]

I wasnt feeling the stretch plates but the spirals were cute. I wonder if you could do both like a 2n1 stretch first till about 75 to 80%dry the go back and try the spirals that way you probably wont have as much shrinkage . Then finish drying completely. Just a thought running through my head. I feel like it could work. 🤔🙂

[@courtneylynn1854]

y scott I'd love if she tried that and showed us in a video! That sounds like a great idea!

[@earthangel6858]

Luv this idea

[@gipperakh]

You are so pretty!!!

[@ttramos2203]

where can you buy these plates. their website is not working!?

[@briannajohnson5185]

At first i was like wth now im like wow. Love it

[@sarahw9410]

You have such beautiful hair!💕

[@H.R.H-AMINA_BIN_SHAFIQ--SHAKTI]

Wow they both are GREAT

[@kazzuo32]

[@kimlobdell9778]

What beautiful hair you have!

[@dashoflemonadetv8]

Let’s just do a series! We have all year! Lol love you Amber 😘

[@nenyavalley8260]

OmG Love them both!! I want to see each style and styled pleasseee??!!

[@LexiNichelleHer]

I'm here maaaaad early. Heyy girl!! 👋🏾😊

[@folushoxo]

Would u say these would be good for a heatless blowout before a flatiron? Do u think they’d work on 4c coiled hair? How long did they take to come in for u?

[@kingkoilyfro9147]

Hey Cousin🤗🤗🤗 catching up on the videos, I have had school all this week lol. Definitely would love to see a curl style😄

[@TomorrowMims]

Both came out very nice.

[@LexiNichelleHer]

I wanna see a curled style using the rods. Those curls were perfect 👌🏾.

[@breyonnamassey6467]

Your hand was glowing!

[@FinallyAmber]

It's called a ring light directly in front of you + having oil on your hands to prevent frizz. I didn't know I had to explain this.

[@THELAZYNATURAL]

Now I really want to buy some 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@chyrissevalentine8021]

Do a Curl style using the rods!

[@NapturlRena24]

Came out nice. I would love to see both 😁

[@TheTimelessRetro]

The spiral curls were gorgeous!!! Imagine how much prettier they’ll look when you separate and style them!

[@BlessedMuva]

Beautiful hair 💕

[@stellalaffin2206]

I want to see both styles, please!

[@sxq108]

do It the stretch one! I really liked both results but I love the blow out stile.

[@Brownie8986]

Both!

[@KinuGoddess777]

Finally Amber Your hair is Gorgeous and the melanin is on fleek👌😊. Beautiful complexion👏🏾👏🏾

[@aiyanaoconnor9875]

Both cuzzo!!! Show us a stretched style with the plates then one with those spirals. The spirals were too pretty!

[@selenat.4982]

Both style will be cool.

[@courtneyemm8894]

Just here to vote for a video of a stretched braid/twist out after using the plates!

[@tarteashawilliams1429]

Video on both styles please!

[@Nananadadadawoo]

Id use the left side for when i want my hair as flat as possible without a blow dryer then straighten in the morning. The right side perfect for battling frizz and keeping ur curls tight

[@healingheadspace7117]

I like this fr. New subscriber 😍💕

[@rosemarieramsingh8749]

Love your channel!!!! Subscribing! All such helpful advice! I'm getting a dog soon and loved the video on your doggie too!!

[@FinallyAmber]

Aww thank you so much!!

[@carmeld45]

I like the curls. I have to buy these. TFS

[@nicolepowell514]

I would love to see a style with the rods!

[@FinallyAmber]

I need to revist these soon but I haven't used them much because so many people were saying they hadn't received their orders 😩 That made me sad.

[@SheaButterShell]

I like both 😍

[@vennettegloud3128]

Great clip! They have straightformers now on amazon like curl/wave formers) I can hardly keep up!

[@travinablackshear3976]

What is the name called I searched it up nothing came up

[@shlola9117]

Both

[@Deenique16]

Wow I remember when these first came out.

[@ChrisBrooks34]

I liked the stretch plate style and would like to see how you would style that.

[@victoriaweeden2901]

I love both. But i need to see what i can realy do with 4c hair i love this show

[@linkin5961]

As a low pos. girl. Would you say defining your hair and wearing it curly (wash n go) is a great protective styling? I only ask because I feel when I define my hair and wear it curly I do very minimal manipulation. Since I can wake up and just go to work. And the curls are clumped together and ends sealed. And I feel twists work great but I'm not the constant wearing twist type of person. And putting my hair in a constant pony tail thins it mid shaft. I just get nervous that if I wear it out all the time. It may not be good for my end long term, though???? What is your experience? I bounce back and fourth. But, love my hair out and curly.

[@jandreacolon]

hey! i stumbled across this and I follow her channel. wash and go’s can be very good hairstyles for low porosity hair, but you have to keep your hair moisturized in between washes. I found that using mousse also helps with the gel to define the curls and add some moisture/shine to the style. You also have to keep your hair stretched. I band my hair at night and pin the sections to the opposite side of my head and put oil on my hands to seal the moisture in when I’m taking them down. Buns help in between washes, I’m fond of wetting my hair and putting more product in it and detangling with oil on the part of my hair that will be exposed. I also don’t use hairpins unless I’m securing a fake pony. The key is gentleness and staying on top of your wash days. Also, dusting your ends before you need a full blown trim helps a lot. Good luck, curl friend!

[@mamakat2727]

I think a video for each style.

[@naturalathart4699]

Hey cousin hey ☺️Stretched twist out please!!

[@mzbb6446]

Hmmm looking good. I may consider purchasing

[@qwietstormz]

I've been wanting to try them but I don't think I'm coordinated enough lol. Those curls are beautiful though.

[@a.diamond2378]

Beautiful Hair. 💕💕

[@MiloMamii]

girlll where'd you get that brush? i've been looking for a paddle style brush w out the little balls at the end

[@krdashianclips]

Sharde Shaw you can just take off the balls on a used wet brush not sure about a new one though.

[@SB-dj2hl]

♥ The hair.no perms but do our thing with our curly deep wavez 😘

[@ShahanshahW]

Sissss you have low porosity hair ... so do my niece and nephew - but it was so satisfying watching your brush just glideeee through. I'm working on getting to the gliding point with their hair lol

[@RD-vz6cc]

Where did you get that brush?

[@labamamama]

Thanks for the upload! Can't wait to try them out. BTW you and Kimmaytube look a lot alike.

[@jessicaf3192]

How long did it take for you to receive shipment after purchase?

[@sasutomato]

Is there a longer version of this?

[@Lady_dromeda]

Do you think they would work on slightly curly “white person” hair? I don’t like using heat on my hair too often, and the flat stretchers look interesting.

[@smjenn8394]

You can use thread to stretch out natural hair and it’s so effective and non expensive
