[@aquaopa1]

Subbed. You are so pretty and have such a soothing voice with very good explanations. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@brielleg2538]

love how you showed us the reality of it boo

[@MariMari-ol3ks]

You are so wonderful to watch and so peaceful ... nothing but drama with a lot of other videos even though they mean well - way too much drama for me! I love your peaceful nature.

[@rachaelcpr]

Thank you so much Mari!!! I appreciate your kind comment. It really made me smile :)

I know this tutorial was made 3 years ago but this my first time viewing it. I noticed that you shared in this video that real silk draws moisture out....but this statement is not true. Actually silk is better and most definitely better than any other material scarf to tie your hair in. It helps to retain moisture, helps to bring a shine and silkiness to your hair. Helps to prevent breakage and helps to keep elongation to those hair strands when wrapping your hair. I have used silk scarfs when I had a relaxer in my hair and now on my natural hair and in both instances the silk scarfs have helped in maintaining the health of my hair. I have been natural for 3 years now and found that cotton scarfs are definitely a no no and satin scarfs are just ok. For optimal results for maintaining your wonderful natural hair, 100% silk scarfs are your best friend. For those who are skeptical please feel free to do your own research and try a silk scarf for yourself. You most likely won't find a 100% silk scarf in your beauty supply store. Your can try online and at your local fabric store where you can taylor the size of your fabric. Other than that one issue, I did enjoy this tutorial. Not trying to be messy just feel we can all benefit from one another with knowledge....Im still learning each day from all my personal and KZbin natural sisters!!!!!

Hi Phylis!! Thanks for your feedback. Silk takes on many different forms so this may be true of some of the forms. I test out my materials by doing a water or oil test on them. When they are clean and come in contact with moisture they will absorb until the available space between the fibers or the weave are filled. They will then form a very slick feel to them that will not draw in moisture because it is at capacity or it is already filled. That is just the nature of natural fabric. They enjoy moisture because moisture is a good thing in nature. This is the reason that we all dread the idea of dropping even the smallest drop of oil or water on a silk garment. The fabric will very quickly get the moisture deep into the weave of the fabric leaving an oil stain or a water mark. I am happy that this has worked for you, but I have not personally come across any silk that does not love to absorb moisture.

I've been natural for 1yr & my hair is in the short/medium length & i think this would work great for me thanks for sharing💛💛

[@NayeLoveArt1992]

oh wow!! Im going to try this!😊😉 I've honestly never really thought it was possible to wrap our natural hair lol smh😂😂😂😂😕😕😕 Quick question, can I try it on dry, stretched natural hair?

[@NayeLoveArt1992]

Thanks! :) & I finally got the curved bobby pins they work great! I tried both the wet & dry wrap, it takes less time then trying to re-twist or banding methed my curls every time but keeps my hair from being matted down :) Its a great way to stretch my hair out as well as banding.

[@AlexciaLinette]

ohhh....I have been doing this with gel and girl...it turns out a hott mess!!!! TFS! I am going to try it with shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie this week.

[@lisapyles2076]

I love that method. Your hair looks great! I am going to try that this weekend

[@AlexciaLinette]

TFS. I am going back to the CG method because of the great moisture training it does for my hair but I always fall off the wagon due to single strand knots I think because of shrinkage even when I wash three times a week. Any advice you can give me will be greatly appreciated 😉

[@kayydeemay3]

It doesn't matter what roller I have them all lol I am so excited for the tutorial thanks in advance

[@SheebaRenae]

Have you tried this wrapping method with flaxseed gel?

[@KinkyNappyHappy]

Oh great tutorial, love your results!! Tfs

[@MyNaturalMyChoice]

Beautiful stretched curly hair!

[@CurlyAnji11]

I used the info of the original video and the instruction of the second vid and got great results in the back and weird results on the top so I think my hair wasn't hydrated enough.... I will try again!

[@amandaliz6845]

Hey! Loved your video! I have two questions for you, if you don't mind. Where did you get these pins? Do you think this can be done before flat ironing, as a way to avoid blow drying?

[@kaywayneflor89]

Like @rachealcpr said in the video why she doesnt use gel when doing this your hair will come out smooth/straightThis is what I do to wear a straight style, when I do it my hair comes out just like the kanekalon kniky straight hair you buy in a package. I use a leave in conditioner and a setting lotion (lotta body) or foam wrap lotion (motions or Jane Carter). After you can do twist/bantu's etc. Or a flat iron. My hair is course 3c/4a for reference. @rachealcpr excellent as always!

[@amandaliz6845]

thanks sheseams for the idea of the the wrap setting lotion. rachaelcpr lol it was jut a thought in my head! I think I'm going to do that next time I decide to flat iron this lion lol

[@kaywayneflor89]

rachaelcpr :-)

[@LavenderLife007]

nice. i usually diffuse so this is another option when i dont feel like diffusing. :)

[@Godsfavor68]

Beautiful Rachael! How often do you have to re wrap your hair?

[@lisapyles2076]

Beautiful! I am going to try that.

[@rachaelcpr]

+Lisa Pyles i hope you like it. There can be learning curve with your hair. It is worth it when you find it! Thangs for the feedback Lisa! ❤

[@KinkyNappyHappy]

I don't think I can do this, but I'm going to try. Where did you buy or find the hair pins?

[@KinkyNappyHappy]

rachaelcpr thanks I'm going to search for them this week!!!

[@DiaLove]

Great video! You make it look so easy

[@shareeminor9125]

Love!Fab! Excellent!

[@dr.christinagreen-lee1701]

Will this method work with shorter hair? I do not have length when it is wet, blown dry it comes a little above my shoulders.

[@RefiningtheStatusQuo]

can't wait will my hair grows longer... :( i couldn't get the same result. i may loose the pins in my hair.

[@Lovingdeenaturally]

Love love!!! That's very interesting that u can wrap natural hair. I love ur results. My hair would probably take daaayysss to dry if i wrapped it. Lol!! Thanks for sharing this😀

[@evanm076]

rachaelcpr, really. on the wow now, and I'm getting tried of twist in my hair. miss the wng and your results looks just like a wng. thanks. you just made my night!!!

[@TheMkupjunkie]

Great tutorial again Rachael. The ladies in the comments gave some good ideas of stretching for flat ironing, twists, and other stretched styles. I always learn so much from your channel.

[@Quetzalioshun]

Who makes the grape seed oil?

[@kayydeemay3]

Could you please do a tutorial on a directional wet set I love this technique by the way it is genius

[@N3pea]

Can you do a video on your directional set?

[@rachaelcpr]

Yes. I can. that one is LONG overdue.

[@VaniaDiasss]

Nice!

[@finesweet01]

Love! Will try

[@AkosuaFire]

Looks nice!!

[@rachaelshomelifelove]

[@jetannasledge3053]

[@Agelda]

Nice

[@odettelacroix2445]

What do you do with the ends with a directional stretch?

[@odettelacroix2445]

My daughters thank you ☺. Love your color by the way!

[@sheralynbaylor1137]

[@HH-vg5sb]

Nice 👍

[@rachaelcpr]

Thank you Gloria!

[@kellycoleman2745]

My shrinkage allow this, 4c hair says no no!! Lol

[@kellycoleman2745]

True, your welcome

[@CurlyAnji11]

I forgot to ask how to maintain this style?

[@charleywilson1827]

I thought you were going to use mousse & comb it out

[@rachaelcpr]

Hi Charlie. No not for this wrap. I think that would be a fun thing to try. I am planning on straightening my hair in the fall. I will give that a try then.

[@Lemarie92]

I would probably have to use double the bobbies lol
