Hands Down The BEST Natural Hair No Heat Stretching | African Threading vs Banding Method

[@TruSpoken]

your like an AFRICAN Barbie, your so sweet. I was going to relax or dread lock my hair, but I am empowered again- to keep my natural hair. No more wigs, no heat, lot of conditioning, moisturizing, sealing and definitely cutting my raggedy ends and knots. I tell you after doing this, I am able to braid my hair in a cornrows without snagging my hair. Imagine when I get into African thredding. Thank you so much

[@sugarfreenow]

I was thinking she looks like a doll

[@Smile2Joy]

The courser and kinkier the hair the better it grows. Has anyone else noticed that? It's the prettiest I think.

[@juli_xox]

I have noticed that too!

[@Nicole0627]

Yes because it is so strong, I wish I had 4c hair.

[@clarisse2410]

Smile2Joy yeah because it's extremely strong unfortunately I have 4b/4c hair and it's thin af 😭😭

[@reelnubianonpoint1144]

Smile2Joy it is the mother of all curls 😊

[@samlsd9711]

Kinky hair is the best! People who try to hide that are fools.

[@Topself24]

Now that's a beautiful woman. No if ands or buts about it

I don’t think the results were drastic enough to go with threading over banding when banding takes way less time just just about the same stretch lol so banding actually wins for me

[@denyshadials5702]

I actually love threading on wet/very damp hair. It gives me smoother results. However I would say don't do very large sections. I usually have 12-15 completely detangled sections when I thread wet hair.

[@CravingCurlyKinks]

+Denysha Taylor Yes smaller sections will make it more manageable you are right.

[@devonne_intervention]

African threading has been my stretching method for the past year, I feel the process gets faster as you get used to it. I have 4a, high dense/porosity, fine hair, so I use the LCO Method(L-water/aloe Vera mix, C-raw shea butter and O-JBCO/Argan/Vitamin E/Olive Oil mix) which prevents the drying effect after threading freshly wash hair..Great Video!!

[@CravingCurlyKinks]

+Dede That is awesome.

[@blckbarby]

......Translation for your science terms and symbols......

[@peepla7]

We called this spooling. Used to do my daughters hair like this with different colors when they were kids. Nice to know the correct term.

[@CravingCurlyKinks]

+peepla7 😊 I love that spooling.

[@1monilove]

one of the best on KZbin in my opinion

[@CravingCurlyKinks]

+1monilove I am so flattered. Thanks 🤩

[@FineNaturalHairandFaith]

The banding method would be more effective on loose vs twisted hair. Plus you had the bands far apart vs the thread. Banding works well for my hair..looks like a blow out when I'm done. Threading takes too long for me

[@CravingCurlyKinks]

+Fine Natural Hair and Faith Yeah I love using banding method too. It is alot easier.

[@peepla7]

I like the texture of the banding, I like the stretch of the threading. For me texture wins.

[@CravingCurlyKinks]

+peepla7 Awesome 😊

[@tracywebb1604]

Pepe how long did you leave the tread in de hair

[@knittingarch]

I tried this once on freshly washed hair, and it turned out exactly as you described: dry and matted! I will try again with your suggestions. It would be nice to have super stretched hair once in a while :)

[@cad...]

Thanks alot for the tips, I tried the twists before doing the African threading and I totally love the results. Hair is feeling so moisturized yet stretched. 💃

[@CravingCurlyKinks]

I am so happy yo hear that! :)

[@franceliajackson8402]

you got fingers down , cah believe , fingers up for me , you're a plus for this type of hair , no chemicals and healthy styling with no side effects

[@YourTrustedRealtor1]

Thanks for doing video.. beautiful. The banding method is definitely more convenient, but the African threading method seems more protective & slightly more stretch.

[@lovinglanguages1]

I love your video! I got turned on to African threading by another Ghana woman on here but never tried it until recently. I like the idea of the banding technique, because it is easy and a little bit quicker than using the African thread, but after using scrunchies to do it, it really is kind of a pain using so, so many scrunchies and having to pull so many out. I like the African Branding a lot better because you can control the tightness of the string, if you want to leave space between the threads for doing a simple twist out or if you just want to wrap and cover all the hair and you can actually do a protective style with the technique as well. Plus I like how you can feel your hair strength better, with the hair being wrapped with the thread versus the banding method. Thanks for the tip about wet hair! I have actually done it that way once before and didn't really affect my hair, but I don't want to risk it and I will take your advice and not do that again!

[@CravingCurlyKinks]

+lovinglanguages1 For some textures that advice is irrelevant, if you don't experience matting and tangling when you do it on wet hair, I say keep on doing what works best for you. 😘

Thank you for sharing your pearls of wisdom. Thank you thank you thank you.

[@CravingCurlyKinks]

[@lagente2789]

Beautiful results! Have you ever used the plastic or yarn thread? I'm curious if one works better for 4bc hair. Thanks for the tip about drying and remoisturizing first! Much 💛!

[@CravingCurlyKinks]

+La Gente no actually Hi, no actually I have not. But now you got me very curious👌

[@trinityasabea]

La Gente Hi, I use milk cotton yarn as it doesn't soak up the moisture, it's great. I also use yarn for twists as protective style.

[@lagente2789]

Craving Curly Kinks i hope to see you satisfy that curiosity one of these days lol 😉

[@lagente2789]

Trinity_ NubianQueen thanks for the tips gorgeous!

[@trinityasabea]

[@LadyJacqueline07]

You are correct, I tried this on my two daughter's hair and both of them experienced very dry and matted hair after I unraveled their twists.

[@thezenroom7069]

I love it. How many years of growth is the length of your hair?

[@joanb7180]

Excellent teaching! Thank you❤!

[@1LUV7]

Your glory is beautiful sista! 😍😍😍 Both method came out great! 👍🏾👍🏾😁 But for length sake I’d go for the African method 😜 .. Thanks for Sharing!!!

[@yoyo-cv]

Wow your hair is amazing! Subscribed 💜 I love how you showed these two methods.. they clearly both work well! I dont think I have the patience for threading but I do a version of banding already. Looking forward to more vids!! Xx

[@CravingCurlyKinks]

+Yolanda G lol, Yeah threading takes too long for me. I love using banding most times.

[@Sweetnatural79]

Both sides are beautiful. How many times during the week do you band or thread your hair?

[@sameerasalah2006]

I always use african threading 😥😥😥but after i wash my hair wen it still dam...and now i know why always after I took it down my hair felt and looks dry.....😥thank you for this amazing tips ❤️ur hair is the goal beautiful and healthy ❤️❤️❤️😊

[@abiobelarijack2472]

Sameera salah just use the rubber thread and you'll be fine

[@sameerasalah2006]

[@CravingCurlyKinks]

I love this video !!!! I'm tired of banding my 4c - BBSL -Hair, I have Carpal Tunnel. How long can I safely leave African Threading in my hair ? A few days, weeks or months ??? Thanks in advance R.K.

[@rehemaisaack1728]

i think i will do a three months challenge of african threading to strech my hair and as a protective style

[@alaysiavenable9993]

I do the banding method to at night to prevent my curls from swelling and shrinking as I sleep. I do one at the root of my hair and the other at my ends. My only thing I’ve thought about is whether or not it’s protecting my ends? Being that I keep a half inch out so my ends stay curly from my twist out.

[@tracywebb1604]

Africans thread wins. Hand down...i 💘 it..im going to do that....ill try....thanks

[@arielgibson9941]

I will try this. Thank you for sharing

[@JahleeyahKalonji]

Just a thought..Maybe it's the type of thread that's used that causes the issue and not the threading method itself. I wonder if using a thread made out of some other type of material would reduce the issue

[@destinywisniewski9931]

It's better to use the ceiling fan thread because it's not made like yarn thread and can be reused several times. My aunt used to condition my hair and coat it with a pomade like vaseline to keep it conditioned.

How long does it take. For your hair to reach its final growt

[@CravingCurlyKinks]

Um, lifetime I will say. But aging can slow down growth some.

[@penn2pal]

Does either process damage your edges? It looks as if there’s a lot of tension on your edges. I think I want to try this but want to make sure.

[@timtapp5931]

Probably keep the first band(the one closest to your scalp/roots) loose, no tension. That way there's no stress on your head while the length of your hair is banded( not too tightly) away. Hope it works for you

[@tinuke-mo1ke]

Do u stretch your hair in this manner after each wash day? So this is a two to three day process? Day one, wash hair and put in big braids to air dry. Day 2; unbraid then retwist and thread/ band. Day3 unravel then repeat in 2 wks?

[@CravingCurlyKinks]

+Ladyt96 Ladyt96 Yes that's basically it. But I don't do that after every wash day. I mostly just do regular twist out or braid out.

[@tracywebb1604]

Are u using any shampoo or just water

[@CravingCurlyKinks]

I use shampoo.
