I read that this stretching method is an ode to the way women would stretch their hair in Africa. I love this method!

[@joyisvegan]

Oh wow! That's so cool!!!

[@Denise_Cocoa]

Yes it is, it’s called banding 💛. I’ve done it before. Lot of tension on the scalp if you make it tight but it does work to stretch.

[@raychellp2838]

Yes this is tradition. We usually do this with thread or yarn. It works great for no heat drying.

[@kwannasmith]

Yes banding or they use thread which is the African threading method.

[@georgiaa.4306]

Yup! This method originated from Africa and thread is normally used :)

Thanks so much for wearing a light colored shirt so we can easily see the difference!!

It is honestly so glorious seeing how far your hair has come. I have been following since the OG TWA days and now your hair is so full and long and strong. Beautiful what patience, good diet and consistent care can do.

[@liljean2640]

Sometimes I would stretch my hair using the African Threading method. Sometimes I don't have a thread so I would use rubber bands(that has been soaked in oil so it does not pull my hair).

[@agirlyhasnoname]

Where does one get the Thread? I feel like that would help me and give me better result when I band

I have never commented on your posts but have been following you for years and loving you vegan meal preps( which helped me in what to eat after giving birth) and all your natural hair videos. My daughter’s hair replicates your strands and I am so glad you did this video because she turns 2 On Monday and I have noticed she needs a trim due to the knots that is now forming in her hair. I love watching your videos and thank you.

[@bettypierre3590]

This was well done but i Just cldnt help myself from realizing how you didn’t cut then in angles and not just pulling tge hair downwards because depending on the hai position on the head, there are ends that wasn’t even trimmed. But still a good job

[@Rinacks]

So I've come across this video because I've been wanting to trim my hair for the longest time and was considering going to a professional but I can't find anyone good in the area and looking on yelp overwhelmed me. Ngl I haven't washed my hair in weeks and I've gotten lazy/unmotivated to do my hair and I extremely dislike the condition it's in. It's in two-strand twists currently but I can see a lot of frizz and split ends. Definitely gonna try this method this weekend cuz ya girl needs some self-care. Thanks for the video

[@raemariaa]

This is a good method. I just twist like I'm doing a twist out and cut ends. Being doing that 2 years being natural. Great video!

[@kelliontamason2009]

Really like this method. My hair loves olive oil too 💇🏽‍♀️

[@Simplykhady]

Girl you read my mind!! I’m transitioning and I’m trying to not use heat on my hair, so I wanted to trim them without straightening my hair. And this help me a lot! Thank you 🙏🏾

[@lyrikalremedy2387]

Been watching your vids for yrs and its soo awesome to see your hair super long and healthy. What a journey! I cut my hair off and did other things though i know that if i kept with the routine it'll be as long as yours now. I only keep up with a couple hair vixens and Ive learned (through yaw) that color is not that important if your hair just isnt healthy. Thank you for being consistent!

[@Poodahbumbrey]

This video is right on time , I have braids in as my protective style right now and I’m not using heat (including blow dryer) so I can use this technique to clip my ends as well as for hairstyles I want to do on “blown out” hair . Trying not to use heat for a year too , so far so good 🤗

[@Ccgemini]

The hair looks and feels so much better when the straggly ends are gone🤗🤗

[@jadaelawson5649]

Hi I wanted to know if you use your other method of stretching your hair by braiding it into 8 sections, will that still work for trimming it ?

Thank you for doing a trimming video. My hair doesn't grow that fast, and it is probably due to the fact that I don't keep my edges trimmed as much. Most of the time when I do go to the professional, they tell me that I have to get it flat ironed before getting trimmed. Obviously there are other methods. Thanks

[@kapparhotau181]

I found some straight wave formers on amazon. They work really well without having to use alot of stress on your hair. They are not on there anymore but you can get wave formers on Ebay or AliExpress and boil them in a pot of hot water to straighten them. I used 4 packages on my fine 4c medium density hair. If you have thick hair you will probably need 6-8 packages

[@bromistadavis8556]

[@rosesweetness6893]

Isabell E you can use threading wool dear, the black one.It works the same.

[@asideofaioli4630]

Lol. 😅 Same. When taking out twists, the first half is done slow & gently, while there will definitely be some hair ripped out or broken off in the second half. I need to start altering which half I start first so I don't begin having a beauty and the beast head of hair.

[@TheLbg0120]

Try cutting at a 45 degree angle instead of straight across. Cutting straight across causing ends to be blunt which is more prone to breakage and splitting.

[@xshesyourqorqeousxx3]

L Gallman why would a straight cut be more prone to breaking/splitting? Is it cause the ends will rub together more easily since they are the same length?

[@DANNYTHEFROG123]

Blunt cuts are fine. Think about people with bobs. It still grows. Retention depends on your routine more than the cut itself.
