[@christines1821]

7 years for me it’s been since 2009 going natural and jsut figured this out wondering how can I combat wash and go shrinkage.

[@daileighnovember]

I just got the mielle rosemary shampoo. Ive seen a few ppl say it helps w growth (which they say rosemary does in general) idk if itd make a difference or not for 4C hair to get it loooong if itd start coming down more or not?! ❤❤

[@briannarobles1278]

I never thought about stretching my wash & go with a blow dryer. Definitely going to try it bc I love these results 😍

[@GabrielleAmandaaa]

Thank you 💗

It doesn’t work it’s going to shrink later on

[@Am1raa15]

Does it work

[@michellelyston8566]

@@VccTayla Of course it works. We all have different types of hair.

[@zebrahead8727]

@@VccTayla I let mine air dry the first day then do the banding method at night, then next day do the blow dry method for maximum stretch.

[@leeniegreenie6935]

Do you wash, condition night before, add curling definition product the next day, and stretch the same day? My hair is super tight in the back and never retains curls, even with curl products. Can this method be used with mousse , or just use oil for stretching?

What did u apply on ur hair to get that curls?

[@Foreverelite]

Insightful. Thanks

[@USERc2ele]

Could i do blow dry method with 6 inches of hair? Also can my hair be damp or fully dry beforing doing it

[@tiffanysmith2489]

What products are you using for your curl to bouncy and manageable?

[@PrincessStache]

Hey I love the blow drying method! Was your hair wet when you did the stretching or dry? Would you recommend doing it on dry hair or should I wet my hair a little before I try it (hair is currently in twists)

[@GabrielleAmandaaa]

I try to do it on mostly dry hair, I feel like doing it on completely wet hair would disturb the curls way more

[@harrietamankwa9657]

please which band did you use to stretch it looks quite long enough to go round all thru

[@shawnclark7392]

Your hair is beautiful. Whenever I use the blow dryer to stretch, it ends up shrinking again after a few hours. Does yours do this as well?

[@GabrielleAmandaaa]

Thank you! & yes this does happen but not drastically for me... it may have something to do with the products you are using or just that your hair is super healthy (high elasticity).

[@SuperButterfly217]

Georgeous hair.

[@Lviciouse1]

Beautiful 😍

[@ImCeeCeeHarris603]

Love your hair. Can you stretch your curls on cool instead of medium heat?

[@GabrielleAmandaaa]

Thank you💗 & You definitely can; I’ve tried it but I find that my hair shrinks back up faster

[@jaynefernandez483]

Thank you. Beautiful

[@dunemae]

how long does your hair stay stretched from the blow dry method? beautiful hair btw🤍

[@GabrielleAmandaaa]

Thank you 💗 & usually about 4-5 days, just enough time for my next wash day

[@mangorawhoney1981]

My favorite method is the blow dryer because it's instant results

[@jbruce]

Love this video! Question-how do you prevent your hair from shrinking back up after you blow dry? My hair keeps doing this :(

[@GabrielleAmandaaa]

Thank you & do you use gels? Gel tends to lock in my length after blow drying

[@jbruce]

@@GabrielleAmandaaa I don’t! I’ve been using creams only but I’m going to try that with my next wash and go. Thanks so much! Again-I love your channel so much!

[@niko2clean520]

Your hair looks beautiful can I ask what gel do you use that allows your curls to bounce after the blow drying

You and your hair are so beautiful 💜😊When you use the blow dryer to stretch, how do you keep your hair stretched like that for a week? Do you have to keep blow drying it?

[@GabrielleAmandaaa]

Thank you! I usually do the banding method (wrapping the hair tie down the length of my hair) at night time to keep the length for the following days

[@mzjellyxo9893]

Do you recommend stretching right after you wash it or the next day ? What do you find gives you the best results ?

[@GabrielleAmandaaa]

I would try to get your hair at least 70% dry before stretching. You can air dry or blow dry on cool until your hair is mostly dry then go in with the stretching methods💗

[@katherinemccauley3880]

off topic, but you are so pretty omg

Please what kind of bands do you use to stretch. I can't seem to find one that can stretch that number of times. Please respond

You can use headbands or multiple hair ties that are stretched out on each section. The headbands I use are the Goody brand Ouchless XL elastic hair ties

What edge control do you use?

[@theresafrancis1398]

How did you curl your hair? What method?

[@GabrielleAmandaaa]

I always do the shingling method

[@hisqueenkq]

What’s the shingling method?

[@Relrellz]

When u use the blow dryer methods does it still shrink as they day goes on?

[@GabrielleAmandaaa]

The humidity outside determines how much my hair will shrink after this method but generally I only have to stretch my hair one more time throughout the week (but that’s just me being extra lol)

[@Relrellz]

@@GabrielleAmandaaa ok I know I tried this years ago but by the end of the day my hair was shrieked. But I think the weather contributed to that. I’ll try again ❤️

[@shelbyjames8423]

Can I do this on day 2? On dry hair?

[@GabrielleAmandaaa]

Of course! Your hair will be more voluminous on day 2 hair as well & I would only suggest this on dry hair

[@omeshiajohnson3575]

Hi thanks for the video, is it better to stretch ok wet or already dry hair?

[@omeshiajohnson3575]

On*

[@GabrielleAmandaaa]

I like to do it on mostly dry hair.. about 70-100% dry

[@ceeceenarine4156]

Can I do this while my hair is wet? Can I do this if my hair isn’t dry on day 2?

[@GabrielleAmandaaa]

I would suggest getting your hair at least 70% dry before doing these methods. Maybe blow drying your hair on cool before going into the stretching part💗

If you don’t want to use heat, you can use the cool or warm setting on your dryer, it may just take a little longer.

Solely for speed. I chose these methods over a braid/twist out because those take hours to put in, dry, and take down. & we love gel on this channel 💗
