    Hey Guys! Today I'll be showing how I use African Threading to safely stretch my hair out. African Threading is a heatless option to stretch your hair for styling, and I have using the African Threading method for years, with no damage whatsoever.

    I stretch my hair like this and take it out 2 days later, and then keep threading it and detangle 2 more times a week and oil my scalp! My hair gets so silky and straight and easier to manage I have 4c coarse hair so it helps 😊

      It’s the same texture as sewing thread for weaves. When you go the store, you’ll ask for thread for a sow-in.

      I use the weaving thread that’s use for sow-ins. You should be able to find it at your local beauty supply store. At the end of the video I show you how I take it out. You pull off the knot you do at the end the hair, then you just unravel from them.

      To avoid the pain try securing the base with a hair elastic. You can control the tension better and the elastic will be more flexible than threading from the root.

    • @AbigailYeboah
      @AbigailYeboah  3 роки тому

      Thank you! ☺️
      With African threading, it’s all about the method you use before actually threading. That’s why I do my leave-in, cream, and oil before, that’s way when I thread up my hair, it’s protected underneath. Also, to better assist how does your process go and do you thread all the way your hair?

      @@amakutin6330 yeah, as we’ve talked about before oil is a just sealant abs not a moisturizer. My advice would be making sure your hair is moistures first, and when you’re threading your hair, make sure the thread is covering as much of your hair as possible.
