♥ 41 ♥ African Threading For Grown-Ups! :)

[@trifectawinnings7755]

Thank you for doing an adult version. I could not see myself at work with my hair in 12 sections and bound together as you did for your little girls. I have worn twists in the past and like that look so this fit perfectly with what I like.

[@zimbilisibiya]

Posting to say, it's 22 May 2022 and I am here, watching and very grateful.

[@TheFayeFairy]

Looks like a twistout before you fluff or separate, very pretty

[@AfroTee]

I washed/conditioned my hair today and threaded when I was done. Nadine…it’s AMAZING!!! I feel like I’ve been under a rock! I reeeeally like the stretch. Can’t wait to take it down and see the results. I plan to thread again in a few days for maximum stretch. Thanks so much for the detailed tutorial.

[@sweethoneyforu]

very cute great job we are soooo blessed to have a hair texture that is sooooo versatile

[@elysiadouglas]

Kids are about to be out of school and I will have all day to work on this without having to stop and go somewhere. I hope I can make it as neat as yours.

[@siennatressesvlogs6884]

Oh my.., I love it!! I where twist often and, yes,, mine last about a week before they need to be redone. I am sooo sold on the African threading technique!!! I can't wait when I'm able to try it!!!

[@kporwodu]

eH eH my Ghanaina sista thank you very much, I'm trying to grow out my hair from all the perms and texturizing of the past decade. Your vids a great inspiration and help, thanks - God bless

[@naturallady1]

Awesome. I learned how to do this threading from one of your videos and love to do my daughters hair this way. Now to practice on mine. Thanks for the video.

[@ConnectedToMeNow]

OMG, My Video...Been waiting on this for years and So Worth it. Great Style, I have to try this!!!Thank You and Congrats on The New Baby!!!!!!!!

[@ebuna612]

I showed this to my mum and she was really impressed! She recommended it to my Aunty who will be trying it soon!

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

Awesome! Let me know how your aunt gets on, if she gives it a try :). x

[@SunandSunflowers]

I love it. You make it look easy. It looks like your hair is in two strand twist. Thank you for sharing this

[@TheBlackPensSecret]

I like this! African threading like I've never seen it before. I will certainly be trying this!

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

Ha ha! Don't you just love those wayward twists? :). No breakage from threading. It's actually a great length retainer. I use weave thread. The same stuff they use to sew-in weave extensions. You can buy it from any hair and beauty supply store (usually behind the counter). x

[@joyvenita]

I have natural hair and would love to try this. I wish I knew about this when my 2 daugthers were younger. Thanks for sharing!

[@zizi1011]

Great job Nadine! Congrats on the new addition to the family

[@ScintillatingSunset]

Aww, congrats on the new little one! I truly believe you have the funniest, most informative videos on natural hair :)

[@magneticaims]

I first watched this when I was transitioning. After a year of the transition, I cut off what was left of my relaxed hair. This is my second month continuously protective styling and as I am challenging myself to continue to the end of the year, I intend to try African Threading soon. Did it as a minor but never in adulthood. As my hair is only about 4 inches, Im a lil nervous about how it'll look but willing to try. THANKS for great tutorial!

[@ShaundraLee1920]

Wow, this was super cute! I will definitely try it.

[@pinkymuffy100]

You did a super job on your hair. It looks so good! Thanks for sharing this tutorial!

[@mrs.israel7197]

I know this video was along time ago, I hope you do not stop making hair videos. You have helped me so much and you brought me back to my roots all the way to Haiti. I love every hairstyle you do sis.

[@MrsLawandaD]

Wonderful!! I am addicted to this video. I have watched it 4 times and am not done yet. I will do this style next week and do a video response.

[@anneetresswalker1359]

Girlsloveyourcurls, I greatly thank you for putting out this video. I have been spending the entire wknd reviewing your videos & making note of the technique so i avoid too much tension and unraveling to get the best results. As soon as I have leisure time I will begin stretching my hair as apart of my hair regimen. I am now waaaay to anxious to try it out. Anything to protect my hair and keep it away from heat and chemicals WILL PROMOTE GROWTH. Thanks for sharing.

[@YesLioness]

I had my baby last year and my already thin hairline is now even thinner as well. It looks just like yours..you don't know how much better I feel! Great vid, and a smooth and speedy birth to you!

[@tkokolt]

Beautiful! I know I have to practice this technique! Thank you for sharing! God Bless you and your family!

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

Absolutely. You wouldn't get as much 'hang', but it can be done. In the past, when I'd done a big chop and wanted the look I'd add extensions. It was fantastic for growing out my hair or transitioning. Hmm, I need to do a video on that. :)

[@tftgbn2012]

Love the video! Have not had a perm in a year this month! So I found someone who works with natural hair and am looking forward to my journey!

[@wanda4207]

Thanks for sharing. This is the first time I've seen this technique. I love it and will try it.

[@ELII4EVAA]

Thanks for making this video,had he big chop 1.5yrs ago & I want to give my hair a break from braiding,I run out of ideas until I watched your video so thank you for this. I'm off to thread😃

[@nappynew]

I'm glad I found you on KZbin. Love this tutorial. I can't wait to try it. Love your accent and your mannerism on camera. Awesome! Thanks again.

[@kaysmith302]

I appreciate your tutorials. I work a very unpredictable schedule, so it's very hard to find time to do my daughter's hair. I will be trying these techniques for their first day of school.

[@krl828]

i love this style! i'm gonna try it on my girls! Congrats on the new baby!

[@katlark]

So I finally got around to trying African threading on my hair. I saved this video in my favorites so I can come back a refer to it when I was ready. I pretty much got the hang of it but I have yet to get the knot perfected when I get to the end. Thanks again! I refuse to use heat so I'm happy to find this technique!! Thanks for sharing!! Oh I'm a subscriber!!

[@randomcitizen3939]

Never heard of this until today. I am so trying this.

[@naturallymesmooches]

I am excited to this technique. Most of the I keep my hair in twists but I find I have to retwist them every so often to keep them looking neat.

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

No problem! :) When I get to the end I wrap the thread around my thumb, to hold open a loop and then thread it through. It's really hard to explain it in words. I do show a close up of it in the African Threading tutorial (vid#9). I think I'm going to do a faq video specifically for threading, because I get this question a lot. I hope watching the video helps, if not, look out for an faq vid coming soon.

[@blufaerie]

Congrats on your new baby bump, and thanks for posting this!:)

[@Shazzys100]

Very skillfully executed ... gorgeous results too!

[@07Lalli]

Super impressed, you even gave it the Victoria beckham bob look! I want to try this now :)

[@Anne_p]

i love this. my hair can use a four or five week rest so I am definantly going to be watching more videos to learn how to do this.

[@MarsharenaLee01]

You are so beautiful and that accent is wonderful. I love this tut and I shared it on my Facebook page because I know some of my friends are going natural or are transitioning. I am going to try this in the winter months. People say that Florida doesn't get cold...OH YES IT DOES! No co-washing in the winter, but this looks easy enough that I can do it. Thanks!

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

Yes! The thread helps it to retain it's length, so it doesn't really shrink.

[@Barbieflygerian]

when I have a daughter I think this will be her staple look x love ur vids x

[@peachesandpoets]

Wow, I can't wait to try this. I have twists in right now and they're annoying me, unraveling and whatnot. Time to try this!!!

[@bsquaredwright]

wow, you're expecting again...congrats!!!! great tutorial. I have fine hair so I hope it looks as good on me when I try it

[@leneahunts]

I tried African threading and love it! It really stretches the hair. I just have to work on not doing it too tight and perfecting my syling technique.

[@Carol_Cooks]

Omg congratulation! I thought you looked like you were glowing even more than usual! Congrats!

[@harrisonqueen]

Awesome. ..great protective style for winter...look cute too

[@Meera436]

Great hairstyle. Many ppl praise daily scalp oiling with castor oil to thicken thin areas and promote growth ;)

[@tripudium17]

Thanks for this video! I am looking for low maintenance styles I love that this lasts so long and I can do different styles with it ---the look just like twists. This takes me back to childhood although my mum would wrap the thread tighter so each piece of hair was stiff.

[@AfroTee]

Hi beautiful! Congrats on the little one on the way!!! What a blessing! Thanks for taking the time to share this info with us. Blessings...

[@sandraholmes09]

You are a true beauty! Glad i found your channel! I just love your accent:)

[@Wineingmomma]

I so wish I would have looked at this before I chopped off my hair again. Congrats too and continued success.

[@chikeebeei3646]

great tutorial. your hair looks gorgeaous. i can't wait to try it. though my hair is not as long or thick as yours, i still intend to try it. will make a good protective style. Thanks for sharing.

[@miraiga]

Wow this is sooo cute! it reminds me of my childhood! I used to love thread breads, this day made them even plated and stuff. Hers we a bit too tight, urs look nice and comfortable to wear! If I got a tip I would like to share, threads tend to pull on the hair and leave it very dry (though it leaves hair extra stretched!!) so I found that adding some olive oil on the thread before using it really helps- in addition to having well moisturized hair...

[@ElegantPaws01]

This is fantastic and as long as you make a great grid of your head. You can do this yourself. Thank you.

[@zheahra]

Too pretty. Love the bob look (without cutting your hair).

[@Zoeybamboey]

I love your personality. you are always so happy and smiling and pleasant! lovely tutorial thank you! I will be trying this

[@divinemsm716]

What a great protective style! Thanks for sharing.

[@HAIRMODEL4YOU]

I tried twice and you make it look so easy. Mine came out ok but I will keep trying.

[@tamekabrown9419]

I'm in love with this style. Thanks for demonstrating.

[@mekialovedat]

So simple & pretty. Congratulations on your new pregnancy.

[@solzica82]

Congratulations my dear!!!! I wish GOD will also give me such a big family :) So thankfull for this video! Can't wait to see new bondle of joy! Take care!

[@LadyKay78]

I have never seen that done before, it's beautiful! I would love that style for my hair.

[@glamazini]

This looks just like twists! I'm ashamed to say I purchased thread to try something like this maybe 6-7 years ago :( ... never tried it :( ... maybe when I grow my hair back I will. Thanks so much for this vid.

[@karencas7174]

O youre pregnant again! I happened to your channel when you were pregnant with your son, you gave birth to him & put him in a few videos. But over the last several months you havent been on KZbin. I enjoyed your tutorials, especially your comedy ones! Anyhoos, congratulations & I pray a healthy pregnancy, birth, & baby. I like these braids, I have to practice on myself.

[@blessedhelpmeet]

Congratulations !! Nice tutorial. Thanks for taking the time to share.

[@laeticiah.mbatcha1323]

I am so proud to be African right now! Haha

[@magneticaims]

very helpful. Im transitioning and my mum threaded my hair as a child - like loads of Zambians I know and I want to tread my own hair at some point ( I hv twists and flat twists now) as im long-term transitioning.

[@bfeltonwilson1]

This is the question I wanted to ask, thank you for asking and answering tis for me. Your style is beautiful!!!

[@RuthDyson]

That really is a cute hairstyle!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

Thank you! The hairline thing is a pain. When I remember to spritz with water and seal with Jamaican black castor oil, it does actually improve. It's just with pregnancy brain, I always forget. :)

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

Thank you! This is a great question, which quite a few people have asked, so I've put the information in the description box, below the video, on washing and maintenance. :)

[@Statrgazergirl30]

Wow...never heard of this technique before! I just bought an electric hot comb to straighten my hair and was looking for some tutorial vids when I came across your tutorial. So glad I did...this looks like a great technique. I am going to run my hot comb back to the store, buy some weave thread and try this technique tonight. Mahalo!!!

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

:) Oh no! Honestly, African threading is MUCH easier to learn on someone else first. If you don't have someone you can practice on, I'd get a cheap doll and practice getting the hand rhythm down first. I learnt on my own hair as a child and it wasn't pretty, but I was a child and didn't care as much about looking crazy in public...lol. There is a bit of a learning curve, but keep practicing, because once you get it, you'll LOVE the ease and quickness of it. Keep me posted on your progress! :) x

[@Jerileekellz]

You look sooooooo much younger with this hairstyle...it was like watching you take 10years off in 7mins...lol i love it!!!

[@louloumatou]

lovely style, very neat and even!! i miss african threading, when i see my aunt in France this summer, i hope she can do my hair, my mum is hopeless at this, but i know how to do other people's hair, not my own! :) i am always doing my hair like you, a bit at a time, whenever i can fit it in, i bantu knotted half my hair last night, just finished the rest today, for a knotout this weekend! :) xx

[@MarshaPierceTomlin]

Oh my! I didn't even know about this technique to wear as a style. I only heard of this to stretch hair. My hair is prob more suited for this than twists (w/o added hair). Thank you!

[@c2m3d81]

I LOVE that style! I must practice this style!

[@veepeejay]

Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing. Congrats on your pregnancy.

[@pb5619]

Ok...here I go, I am going to try this beautiful technique out :)

[@memysefani]

Thanks again for a stellar, informative piece. I can't wait to try this- only natural since January ( my last perm) so looking forward to this style.

[@kiwi73703]

omg! I love the shower in the background! ok, back to the video. :)

[@NnekaLocs]

this is awesome and looks great. you make it look so easy, but i guess it all comes down to practice.

[@ebonyrose316266]

I love your vids and I am so glad you finally uploaded this tut. I am def. going to try this next time I do twists. Thanks and congrats on another baby!

[@KaraAhFreakk]

Ugh your hair is so beautiful. I love this !

[@msngr2]

You look gorgeous! I've quickly become a huge fan of your video tutorials. I have the exact same hair type & issues as you regarding thinning. Believe me, after 2 children, I can truly relate. I am in love with this technique/style. I must go get that weave thread. I have some, but not enough. Once again, thanks for a excellent video tutorial. I'll be watching. Keep up the great work.

[@estheryaj]

This is an amazing style. Been trying to find threading style to rock cos I want to thread my hair for the next few months. Thanks for this!!

[@prillad.3063]

Same!! I'm gonna have to do these during the summer. Got my thread and stuff. Lol

[@Avocado.locs.]

Thank you so much for this video! I did about 10 twists and it seriously took me about an hour so i took them out. Now, thanks to your video i know that i have to knot the top so it doesn't keep slipping. I will try again tomorrow

[@1960genius]

Just love your gentle spirit!

[@muhnkeeluv]

this is an awesome tutorial, and its so much more uniform and defined that two strand twist, plus it looks like a twist out already! thanks for sharing. I will attempt this one day,But I am not sure how you tie off the ends.

[@tre4gurl]

I'm having problem areas in my nape area as well I'm still trying to figure out how to grow it! Great video!

[@Afrimwenyo]

Great style... Your videos are always fun to watch!!!

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

Thank you! I got this question a lot, so I've put the information in the description box, below the video, on washing and maintenance. :)

[@15100js]

So beautiful!!

[@contsentkonfusion]

ive never seen threading before that is really pretty.

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

Thank you! Great question, so I've put all washing and maintenance information in the description box under the video. :)

[@sasha8227]

This is awesome. i can't wait to give it a shot on my own hair. AE sent me here. :)

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

Yes, you can swim with it. The thread stops it from shrinking as it would with twists. Just be careful not to manipulate too much when washing. I've put info on how I wash and maintain in the description box below the video.

[@GirlsLoveYourCurls]

You are so welcome! Thank you for taking the time to watch. :)

[@TheMsbells]

I purchased the thread from Sallys Beauty Supply. My foolish self didn't cut thread to use on 1 braid..I tried to do the threadding w/ the spool in 1 hand!! Now' I got it. I will try again this weekend. Seems like this would be good for the winter months.
