    your like an AFRICAN Barbie, your so sweet. I was going to relax or dread lock my hair, but I am empowered again- to keep my natural hair. No more wigs, no heat, lot of conditioning, moisturizing, sealing and definitely cutting my raggedy ends and knots. I tell you after doing this, I am able to braid my hair in a cornrows without snagging my hair. Imagine when I get into African thredding. Thank you so much

    I don’t think the results were drastic enough to go with threading over banding when banding takes way less time just just about the same stretch lol so banding actually wins for me

    The courser and kinkier the hair the better it grows. Has anyone else noticed that? It's the prettiest I think.

    I actually love threading on wet/very damp hair. It gives me smoother results. However I would say don't do very large sections. I usually have 12-15 completely detangled sections when I thread wet hair.

    • @CravingCurlyKinks
      @CravingCurlyKinks  6 років тому +14

      +Denysha Taylor Yes smaller sections will make it more manageable you are right.

  • @peepla7
    @peepla7 6 років тому +65

    I like the texture of the banding, I like the stretch of the threading. For me texture wins.

    We called this spooling. Used to do my daughters hair like this with different colors when they were kids. Nice to know the correct term.

  • @FineNaturalHairandFaith
    @FineNaturalHairandFaith 6 років тому +90

    The banding method would be more effective on loose vs twisted hair. Plus you had the bands far apart vs the thread. Banding works well for my hair..looks like a blow out when I'm done. Threading takes too long for me

    • @CravingCurlyKinks
      @CravingCurlyKinks  6 років тому +20

      +Fine Natural Hair and Faith Yeah I love using banding method too. It is alot easier.

    @devonne_intervention 6 років тому +22

    African threading has been my stretching method for the past year, I feel the process gets faster as you get used to it. I have 4a, high dense/porosity, fine hair, so I use the LCO Method(L-water/aloe Vera mix, C-raw shea butter and O-JBCO/Argan/Vitamin E/Olive Oil mix) which prevents the drying effect after threading freshly wash hair..Great Video!!

    @lovinglanguages1 6 років тому +2

    I love your video! I got turned on to African threading by another Ghana woman on here but never tried it until recently. I like the idea of the banding technique, because it is easy and a little bit quicker than using the African thread, but after using scrunchies to do it, it really is kind of a pain using so, so many scrunchies and having to pull so many out. I like the African Branding a lot better because you can control the tightness of the string, if you want to leave space between the threads for doing a simple twist out or if you just want to wrap and cover all the hair and you can actually do a protective style with the technique as well. Plus I like how you can feel your hair strength better, with the hair being wrapped with the thread versus the banding method. Thanks for the tip about wet hair! I have actually done it that way once before and didn't really affect my hair, but I don't want to risk it and I will take your advice and not do that again!

    • @CravingCurlyKinks
      @CravingCurlyKinks  6 років тому +2

      +lovinglanguages1 For some textures that advice is irrelevant, if you don't experience matting and tangling when you do it on wet hair, I say keep on doing what works best for you. 😘

    I do the banding method to at night to prevent my curls from swelling and shrinking as I sleep. I do one at the root of my hair and the other at my ends. My only thing I’ve thought about is whether or not it’s protecting my ends? Being that I keep a half inch out so my ends stay curly from my twist out.

    How do you prevent your roots from tangling ?

    It's better to use the ceiling fan thread because it's not made like yarn thread and can be reused several times. My aunt used to condition my hair and coat it with a pomade like vaseline to keep it conditioned.

    Thanks for the tip! The first time I did the threading it was on wet hair and it was a complete FAIL. I’ll try it again the way you suggested and hopefully the results are better 😭
