Heatless Blowout With Thread :: African Hair Threading To Stretch Natural Hair

Hi everyone. This is an updated video on how I stretch my natural hair with thread from root to tip without the use of heat. I secure the ends differently now because this method just makes it easier to keep the ends straight and I also don't have to tie any knots on my hair. This method protects your ends and the products are great for hydrating and softening natural hair. I use African hair threading to stretch my natural hair when I want it to look blow dried. It won't get natural hair bone straight like a flat iron, but it also doesn't feel as dry as it does with a blowout or flat ironing because of the products used and the absence of heat. If you're a natural hair chick, this might help with your natural hair journey.
I did a charcoal mask the night before and still had some residue, so please excuse the blackness on my hands and in my nails.

What a coincidence, I did a video yesterday on using Rubber Threads. I prefer Rubber Threading because it does not dry out your hair as much as the normal fabric type of thread. Great tips in this video.

[@PureEstrogen]

DiscoveringNatural Oh cool. I heard good things about rubber. Let me pin this comment.

[@chalseywilder937]

DiscoveringNatural try silk tread

[@danadane561]

Can you share the info on where you purchase the rubber threading from please? Thanks! :-)

[@virtuousmentality]

Out of the 23 videos I watched, yours was the only one that I liked and understood the concept of what you were doing. I love how you did the ends of your hair. That keeps me from tying knots on my hair and possibly cutting my own hair off to remove the thread. Great job. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@PureEstrogen]

[@aletavetallen8162]

I've tried to to it I find it difficult and very time consuming ? What would you suggest is the best and quickest way to do the African threading ? 💜✌️

[@PureEstrogen]

You can do bigger sections, but you have to just make sure you're smoothing your hair properly so that it manages to stretch and be easy to comb.

[@sasthyme8857]

[@PureEstrogen]

Thank you.

[@mendelklondon9002]

How long did this take you and how long did you wait before removing the thread? Great tutorial by the way 👏 ❤

[@PureEstrogen]

Thanks. It took me about an hour and I usually wait anywhere from 8 hours to two days to remove unless I'm wearing a wig. I'll wear it for up to a week under a wig.

[@namithaliemendes3622]

✌🏾❤

[@RoyalNykki]

I just plait my hair in medium plaits with tension and it comes out super straight like I blow dried it. Glad I don't have to do this, wayyyy more time consuming than plaiting.

[@PureEstrogen]

Awesome. That's a nice way to stretch your hair.

[@bzymuty]

good method than tying a not on the ends as it damages them even more when you are undoing the hair.

[@PureEstrogen]

bzy muty Yeah. I can't stand the knots.

[@sherell273]

Pure Estrogen Thank you for this beautiful heatless blowout with thread video tips. Can I use nylon hair weaving thread or rubber thread to do the African hair threading stretch on my kinky hair?

[@sameerasalah2006]

sherell273 yes girl try it...they said rubber treading it doesn't absolve moisture to ur hair soo its good...

[@PureEstrogen]

sherell273 I use nylon tread, but I hear good things about rubber thread. I would go with rubber thread if dryness was an issue.

[@shanekag9904]

Great video...I was just wondering how long did you leave the thread in to get that stretch? Seemed like a short period of time.

[@PureEstrogen]

Shaneka Gregory I left it overnight. It was like 12 hours. You can go a week if you want and just wear a wig. I do that a lot as well.

[@ivannatc7639]

Hi, how do you preserve your hair overnight after this. And how do you make it last longer all the week please?

[@PureEstrogen]

Black Peach At night, I just stretch 4-6 large sections. Sometimes I moisturize before stretching if my hair feels dry.

[@sensimania]

Not sure if you're still responding to comments on this video, but how long do you usually leave the thread in your hair? 24hrs? A few days?

[@PureEstrogen]

Anywhere from overnight to a week. It just depends on what I plan to do with my hair. If I want to stretch and style the next day, it's overnight. If I want to wear a wig, it replaces cornrows for a week. Also, the less product used, the faster it dries.

[@sensimania]

Thanks@@PureEstrogen

[@PureEstrogen]

You're welcome.

[@precious7192]

How do you get the hair to not tangle at the ends after stretching?

[@PureEstrogen]

Precious Legit It doesn't tangle with this method. It's stretched all the way down. You have to make sure your hair is properly combed before you start though.

[@doodiebug3237]

Do the threading have to be close together when doing the thread

[@PureEstrogen]

Doodie Bug No, but it gives straighter results.

[@patb2582]

hi can you help? I have low porosity 4c hair. when it's in its shrunken state it is dry and brittle feeling. I have low density hair. I am also allergic to Shea butter. what regime would you suggest?

[@PureEstrogen]

pats cookie Avoid all nut oils just to be safe. Use thick buttery moisturizers and always seal. The LOC method is great for moisture too. Always pro poo with oil before shampooing your hair, use a sulfate free shampoo. Use deep conditioner instead of regular conditioner. I will be doing regimen related videos starting in April so stay tuned.

[@saniyahmirah]

pats cookie but I think the lco method works better for low porosity hair

[@DignaK]

I really want to see what the thread looks like

[@PureEstrogen]

It's Donna 875 high strength weave thread from Sally Beauty.

[@MrsVonCole1987]

How often should I be threading my hair? And How long do I leave my hair threaded?

[@PureEstrogen]

You can do it whenever you want to stretch it and leave it threaded from overnight to a week. It's all about what you want.

[@MrsVonCole1987]

Pure Estrogen Thanks for the advice!!

[@PureEstrogen]

Lavongha Coleman You're welcome.

[@delashone20]

It's just weave thread form my beauty supply store.

[@Jrocker4ever]

can this be done on washed hair with no hair products added in?

[@PureEstrogen]

It can.

[@wendellbroomes5150]

Hi how much hours i can use this for

[@PureEstrogen]

Wendell Broomes 8- 12, but you can also keep it in for a few days before removing.

[@aniyahdilovelilioness747]

How long before you unravel it?

[@PureEstrogen]

8 hours at the earliest and 1 week at the latest. It depends on how I feel.

[@Jrocker4ever]

I'm assuming it took a couple of hours for your hair to dry with the thread?

[@PureEstrogen]

Yes. I usually wait at least 8 hours.

[@nsaunders83]

I would wear this as a style. I imagine I would have breakage at the base of the threads. that even happens with braids unfortunately. my hair likes any kind of twist though

[@PureEstrogen]

NicNacAttack Traditionally, we are supposed to wear this as a style. It's good that you pay attention to your hair. Honestly, I envy you. My twistout game is weak. Thanks for watching.

[@lydiawhyte3613]

How long did keep it in?

[@PureEstrogen]

[@s_sanny]

Then it is what it is

[@PureEstrogen]

You don't have to knot your hair to secure the ends. Simply wrap going all the way down, bring the thread up a few inches and then wrap coming down to your ends. That's how my mom taught me before I remixed it. Here's an example. Start at 2:08 : kzbin.info/www/bejne/roerhKtthNOGh5Y&feature=emb_title

I tried this last week on damp hair. used yarn and kept it in for 3 days. Although it was stretched, my hair felt so dry when I unravelled. There was no way the comb glided through my hair like it did yours. I don't think I'll be doing that again:/

[@adavis5646]

sensimania I've had the same experience. i believe it's a moisturizing thing. i have low porosity hair and it ends up very stiff and brittle. I think she has found products that are very moisturizing for her hair. I've tried those same products to no avail. so I'll continue my search. however, I still thread with yarn soaked in olive oil, and do the LOC method with the install. on take down, I spritz with a little aloe Vera juice to help soften the hair before combing-- I also finger comb before using any tools. I style my hair in loose twists after stretching with this technique, or do a bantu knot out, or shingle with gel for a "wash n go" since I end up adding a bit of moisture which causes a little reversion. I love this technique as it keeps my hands out my hair, fits under wigs, and causes limited damage to the hair. @pureestrogen thanks for the update as you were the KZbinr that first introduced me to this technique!

[@sensimania]

Thanks A Davis, to moisturise my hair I use As I am leave in conditioner and seal it with my honey child hair butter mixed with oils. usually that alone would keep my hair moisturised for almost 2wks (without threading), but 3 days of threading made my hair dryer than the Sahara dessert, lol! Oh well, I might try again in the distant future. Thanks again

[@HereDiianas]

sensimania Each hair is different. There is more than porosity or texture... There is also elasticity, density, thickness, dryness, strength that is different from head to head even if your hair have "the same texture" 4c. I have had threads all my childhood. The way she does it work for my younger sister not for me. For me my mum had to seal my hair with a mix of shea butter and an oil on already stretch hair (with braids) and slightly damped hair (not damped) in order for my hair to not dry out. Give it a try and I hope it will help :-)

[@onyinyeelochukwu7066]

I experienced the same problem. My hair was so dry and difficult to comb. I don't know what I did wrong. Not sure I'll try it anytime soon.

[@koily_kelz9110]

...goes out and buys thread...

[@cherishdeb]

be careful with this. I used your old threading video this weekend past and when I took the threads out my hair was twisted and knotted. the curl WAS pretty and defined and I could wear it as a twist out. my hair wasn't straight like yours. but when I was ready to wear another style I had to comb out the twist and it's a recipe for breakage. also, my hair was knotted at the base. maybe i didn't do it properly but I wouldn't recommend this for damaged hair. I'm just gonna blow dry my hair from now on.

[@PureEstrogen]

cherishdeb It will look like a twistout if you don't smooth as you go down. It takes some practice, but blowdrying is perfectly healthy when done in moderation. You should definitely do what works best because nobody has time for preventable tangles. Thanks for the feedback. 😊
