I remember my hair being threaded as a child; they'd thread all my hair without leaving any gaps and then tie it all up so my head looked somewhat like a basket lol. Taking it down was so exciting though - my hair would be so soft and long. Truly the OG heatless blowout

[@klassy86]

How long would they leave it in before take down?

[@dizzylbnt]

@@klassy86 I'd usually have a style in for 2 weeks and then my threads/braids/whatever style my hair was in would be taken down and my hair would be washed then put back into braids or something. I'm African and back in the day we didn't have braidouts or twistouts, the braids/threads/twists were the actual styles :) it's cool to see people do more things with their hair these days!

[@KarlaBedminister]

How did they remove the thread if it's tied at the end?

[@nardagraham1002]

@@KarlaBedminister Cut the thread at the end, and just pull.

[@KarlaBedminister]

This style was modernised and called Sexy African Threading (S.A.T) here in Nigeria. It is a beautiful style and you did beautifully

[@bre970]

This is amazing we called them thread 🪡 twist where I’m from South Carolina, US.

[@yaphacurington3316]

Wow… sexualizing a cultural hairstyle 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@deannaclayton6009]

Sexy doesn’t mean actual sex! I was going to tell her this is a sexy look does not mean I look at her in a sexual manner but I appreciate the romantic look 🤷🏾‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️.

[@chinenyeuramah8025]

@@yaphacurington3316 you are the one sexualising this style, sexy has nothing to do with sex be it the verb or pronoun. Please don't come and set confusion here biko

[@NotTooGoodAtReading94]

Actually had to watch it again and I'm already a convert. The one thing I never liked about twists was how it left my ends exposed and I would get single-stranded knots and splits every other day. But this remedies that with the beads AND it looks cute? I'd always seen that thread in shops but I never knew what to do with it so thank you for teaching us ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@zeebruh5183]

This method is absolutely gorgeous. I have a tip if you still want to rock two-strand twists. Take the end of your twist and wrap it up and around the twist you just finished it makes a little blunt bulb at the end! Hope that was clear lol I believe naturally nica has a short video demonstrating :)

[@yesno8785]

I have to try this, as I struggle with the loser ends and my braids making me look like pippi longstockings because they don't stay straight!

[@tiffb100]

Do mini braids instead of twists..🤷🏼‍♀️

[@nylesiajordan638]

Don't forget you can put bead on twist!

[@rylee3267]

I read about old southern women doing this on their natural hair. They used silk thread, and advised to only let it out on Sundays for church.

[@artisticagi]

I personally like a little bit of shrinkage. It gives volume and a nice bounce. Looks better with a little bounce

[@precy1640]

please make a video on how you maintain it during week days and also how you maintain loosed twists to ensure healthy hair.

[@priscilanti52]

This is what I do on a weekly basis but without the beads- thanks for the tips, I can make it look more professional 👌🏾

[@priscilanti52]

@Mia Winchester it depends on the parting and length of your hair/the person's speed unoe..10mins-1hr approximately. It can last for weeks but that depends on how you keep it.

[@kemi.a.2000]

@Mia Winchester the take down is super easy. Just locate the thread and pull. It comes loose easily.

[@crysberries]

I love the tip for the roots! I have been threading my daughter’s hair more often the past few months. She loves it and it is helping us retain length, as she desires. Thanks for sharing!

[@klassy86]

How long does it last?

[@adaoranwoba2394]

@@klassy86 once you start noticing build up on your scalp, take it down and wash your hair. Don't forget to rest your head on a satin pillow case and put on your satin hair bonnet when you're about to retire for the day.

Are you still threading. I want to start my granddaughters hair

I'm from Cameroon and I remember this, I like this style cus you're hair strands isn't as rigid as the original threading. I love them both and thi style is magnificent on you😍

[@NotTooGoodAtReading94]

Soooo beautiful! LOVE the hair and the overall styling 😍😍😍 The jewellery combo is LUSCIOUS and the crimps are so even and well defined. I have no idea how you do it, my arms get tired after doing a quarter if my head 😅

I appreciate the close up of how to start the threading with a twist and grip the thread. I'm going to try this on myself and daughter

[@MzNecessary]

You did an excellent tutorial , I love twists but the shrinkage after the pool was a deterrent, this is a Game changer❤❤❤

[@anndiestephen7671]

Somegaps!!!! Our aunties did this for us as little girls.

[@thebusinessstrategistbw816]

We call this "maphondo" in Botswana 🇧🇼. Means horns, and the style usually sticks out of the head like horns for shorter hair

[@macmac9378]

Beautiful. This is the type of threading we used to do in the Caribbean but I never saw it with beads. Nice.

[@Ingrid-jx7iz]

I got some rubber African thread on Etsy and did a bootleg version of this style😅 but I love it. I only knew about the first method, threading all of your hair, my Mom would thread my hair all the way to get a blowout look, but it was with cotton thread. This is wayyy better and I can leave in for weeks and be cute. You make it look so good!

[@dijasnaturals]

I watched this video and trust me I made mine added beads and it's damn beautiful.. thanks for style inspo..

After I saw this video I went to my local African salon and had it done. I’ve already had it done twice in the last three months.

[@Alexsjusa]

I was wondering about that too and also what the thread actually is that doesn’t soak up moisture. Is it polyester? Silk?

[@nardagraham1002]

@@Alexsjusa If you use rubber or acrylic thread, it will probably absorb less moisture.
