What a coincidence, I did a video yesterday on using Rubber Threads. I prefer Rubber Threading because it does not dry out your hair as much as the normal fabric type of thread. Great tips in this video.
Out of the 23 videos I watched, yours was the only one that I liked and understood the concept of what you were doing. I love how you did the ends of your hair. That keeps me from tying knots on my hair and possibly cutting my own hair off to remove the thread. Great job. Thanks for the tutorial.
girl when i watch your videos its like you're the big sister i never had lol. i learn soon much from you on how to take care of my nat hair!!!! thank u for that love!
I have been looking for the hair stretching method and finally ran across your video and I’m thankful to RUclips for the education for your videos on stretching the hair. I want to thank you for sharing this awesome video, much love ❤
I just plait my hair in medium plaits with tension and it comes out super straight like I blow dried it. Glad I don't have to do this, wayyyy more time consuming than plaiting.
Wow, I'm really impressed. You're hair turned out great. I've watched other hair stretching videos and their hair is never that straight. I would love to try this, I'm new to the natural hair journey, I fear though this would take me all day. Yikes
I've tried to to it I find it difficult and very time consuming ? What would you suggest is the best and quickest way to do the African threading ? 💜✌️
Pure Estrogen Thank you for this beautiful heatless blowout with thread video tips. Can I use nylon hair weaving thread or rubber thread to do the African hair threading stretch on my kinky hair?
Thanks. It took me about an hour and I usually wait anywhere from 8 hours to two days to remove unless I'm wearing a wig. I'll wear it for up to a week under a wig.
I was over it once you got the latch hook, it's like you were purposely being extra 😂😂, it reminded me of one of those "Natural Girls Be Like " videos, I love ur vids but grl, part 1inch by 1 inch 😂😂😂
amen ooo, I was hoping none of ur viewers took the joke the wrong way, but i had a feeling you would get it, I love those naturals be like skits, I just got the hang of wrapping my hair, so this was just too advanced OOO
I tried this last week on damp hair. used yarn and kept it in for 3 days. Although it was stretched, my hair felt so dry when I unravelled. There was no way the comb glided through my hair like it did yours. I don't think I'll be doing that again:/
sensimania I've had the same experience. i believe it's a moisturizing thing. i have low porosity hair and it ends up very stiff and brittle. I think she has found products that are very moisturizing for her hair. I've tried those same products to no avail. so I'll continue my search. however, I still thread with yarn soaked in olive oil, and do the LOC method with the install. on take down, I spritz with a little aloe Vera juice to help soften the hair before combing-- I also finger comb before using any tools. I style my hair in loose twists after stretching with this technique, or do a bantu knot out, or shingle with gel for a "wash n go" since I end up adding a bit of moisture which causes a little reversion. I love this technique as it keeps my hands out my hair, fits under wigs, and causes limited damage to the hair. @pureestrogen thanks for the update as you were the RUclipsr that first introduced me to this technique!
Thanks A Davis, to moisturise my hair I use As I am leave in conditioner and seal it with my honey child hair butter mixed with oils. usually that alone would keep my hair moisturised for almost 2wks (without threading), but 3 days of threading made my hair dryer than the Sahara dessert, lol! Oh well, I might try again in the distant future. Thanks again
sensimania Each hair is different. There is more than porosity or texture... There is also elasticity, density, thickness, dryness, strength that is different from head to head even if your hair have "the same texture" 4c. I have had threads all my childhood. The way she does it work for my younger sister not for me. For me my mum had to seal my hair with a mix of shea butter and an oil on already stretch hair (with braids) and slightly damped hair (not damped) in order for my hair to not dry out. Give it a try and I hope it will help :-)
Precious Legit It doesn't tangle with this method. It's stretched all the way down. You have to make sure your hair is properly combed before you start though.
Anywhere from overnight to a week. It just depends on what I plan to do with my hair. If I want to stretch and style the next day, it's overnight. If I want to wear a wig, it replaces cornrows for a week. Also, the less product used, the faster it dries.
I would wear this as a style. I imagine I would have breakage at the base of the threads. that even happens with braids unfortunately. my hair likes any kind of twist though
NicNacAttack Traditionally, we are supposed to wear this as a style. It's good that you pay attention to your hair. Honestly, I envy you. My twistout game is weak. Thanks for watching.
hi can you help? I have low porosity 4c hair. when it's in its shrunken state it is dry and brittle feeling. I have low density hair. I am also allergic to Shea butter. what regime would you suggest?
pats cookie Avoid all nut oils just to be safe. Use thick buttery moisturizers and always seal. The LOC method is great for moisture too. Always pro poo with oil before shampooing your hair, use a sulfate free shampoo. Use deep conditioner instead of regular conditioner. I will be doing regimen related videos starting in April so stay tuned.
You don't have to knot your hair to secure the ends. Simply wrap going all the way down, bring the thread up a few inches and then wrap coming down to your ends. That's how my mom taught me before I remixed it. Here's an example. Start at 2:08 : ruclips.net/video/xVHSx7OnSQ4/видео.html&feature=emb_title
be careful with this. I used your old threading video this weekend past and when I took the threads out my hair was twisted and knotted. the curl WAS pretty and defined and I could wear it as a twist out. my hair wasn't straight like yours. but when I was ready to wear another style I had to comb out the twist and it's a recipe for breakage. also, my hair was knotted at the base. maybe i didn't do it properly but I wouldn't recommend this for damaged hair. I'm just gonna blow dry my hair from now on.
cherishdeb It will look like a twistout if you don't smooth as you go down. It takes some practice, but blowdrying is perfectly healthy when done in moderation. You should definitely do what works best because nobody has time for preventable tangles. Thanks for the feedback. 😊
What a coincidence, I did a video yesterday on using Rubber Threads. I prefer Rubber Threading because it does not dry out your hair as much as the normal fabric type of thread. Great tips in this video.
DiscoveringNatural Oh cool. I heard good things about rubber. Let me pin this comment.
DiscoveringNatural try silk tread
Can you share the info on where you purchase the rubber threading from please? Thanks! :-)

You are so welcome!
This is the best technique for threading and securing the ends I've seen - thank you.
You're welcome and thanks for watching.
I love the shoes in the background. Well organized ❤
Thanks so much! ❤
YAAY! I found someone who shows what to do at the VERY END and how to take it down....thank you Pure Estrogen!
Did this one time man my hair grew and scalp itch was up there though lol otherwise this method works!
Me encantó, es una excelente manera de lasiar el pelo afro 4c, estoy felíz de haber visto este video. 😃
You don’t need ll these different products, just use Shea butter.
I love stretching my hair like this, just uploaded a video about this last week! Good job girl😍
Jumie Anne I guess we're all just dropping threading videos this month. 😂😂😂 I'm gonna go check your channel out.
Omg this is the tecnique I used because those knots on the end just never worked for me! Great video!!
caramelcocoa234 Nice. I never do knots either.
Wow you look beautiful with that hair! Not everyone can pull that look of. Try modelling maybe? The world needs representatives like you.
Thank you!
😱😱😱 thank u thank u. This looks like less tension than the banded method. Will be great for getting braids for a heatless stretch or even a twist out
You're welcome. You definitely have a lot more control with the tension.
I love ur videos am ur biggest fan.
u really know how to detail thank you u made our hair lives a little bit easier
Arnet Amadi Aww, I'm so glad I could help.
Thank you! This is my favourite video on threading!
Esther B Thank you.
thank you so much for this video ! You have soo beautiful hair and texture I wish to have the same hair as you ^^!
La adélia Thanks so much.
this works so well for me too.great video
Braids Wig Queen (DIY Braided Wigs) Thank so much.
I just plait my hair in medium plaits with tension and it comes out super straight like I blow dried it. Glad I don't have to do this, wayyyy more time consuming than plaiting.
Awesome. That's a nice way to stretch your hair.
I have to try this, looks legit
And i will keep using African threading till my hair reaches my back
Victoria Norwood It is legit and I have a better tutorial coming this month. 😊
Wow, I'm really impressed. You're hair turned out great. I've watched other hair stretching videos and their hair is never that straight. I would love to try this, I'm new to the natural hair journey, I fear though this would take me all day. Yikes
mmissthangg1 Trust me when I say it gets easier over time. Thanks for watching. 😊
Wow i love your hair
Thank you.
good method than tying a not on the ends as it damages them even more when you are undoing the hair.
bzy muty Yeah. I can't stand the knots.
I like how you announced my arrival. Thanks lol... The hair has been beautiful since 19## lol...
MizizBundy 😂😂😂 I have to state my purpose.
Looks so pretty!
JaiProdz Thank you.
Love you 😘 you African threading video
Thank you!
Girl ur make up 😍😍😍and that lipstick suits you 😘😍😍ur hair came out really amazing
Sameera salah Thanks so much. 😚
Great video...I was just wondering how long did you leave the thread in to get that stretch? Seemed like a short period of time.
Shaneka Gregory I left it overnight. It was like 12 hours. You can go a week if you want and just wear a wig. I do that a lot as well.
I've tried to to it I find it difficult and very time consuming ? What would you suggest is the best and quickest way to do the African threading ? 💜✌️
You can do bigger sections, but you have to just make sure you're smoothing your hair properly so that it manages to stretch and be easy to comb.
Pure Estrogen Thank you for this beautiful heatless blowout with thread video tips. Can I use nylon hair weaving thread or rubber thread to do the African hair threading stretch on my kinky hair?
sherell273 yes girl try it...they said rubber treading it doesn't absolve moisture to ur hair soo its good...
sherell273 I use nylon tread, but I hear good things about rubber thread. I would go with rubber thread if dryness was an issue.
That shoe closet though!!!!
LOISE W.M Thanks. 😊
How long did this take you and how long did you wait before removing the thread? Great tutorial by the way 👏 ❤
Thanks. It took me about an hour and I usually wait anywhere from 8 hours to two days to remove unless I'm wearing a wig. I'll wear it for up to a week under a wig.

ChristChild17 Girl, I'm AFRICAN! Extra is in the details. 😂😂😂 But seriously, I really do this off camera. lol

Beautiful hair 🖤💜
Thank you!!
Loved it,thanks sis🥰❤
My pleasure 😊
I'm assuming it took a couple of hours for your hair to dry with the thread?
Yes. I usually wait at least 8 hours.
Hi, how do you preserve your hair overnight after this. And how do you make it last longer all the week please?
Black Peach At night, I just stretch 4-6 large sections. Sometimes I moisturize before stretching if my hair feels dry.
I tried this last week on damp hair. used yarn and kept it in for 3 days. Although it was stretched, my hair felt so dry when I unravelled. There was no way the comb glided through my hair like it did yours. I don't think I'll be doing that again:/

I experienced the same problem. My hair was so dry and difficult to comb. I don't know what I did wrong. Not sure I'll try it anytime soon.
Bgfgh
Thank you for sharing. Great video! ;-)
Thanks for watching. :)
How do you get the hair to not tangle at the ends after stretching?
Precious Legit It doesn't tangle with this method. It's stretched all the way down. You have to make sure your hair is properly combed before you start though.
Great video, I have been using the African threading method for years. I recently uploaded a video of my process :-)
NaturallyLyn Oh, cool. Let me check ot out.
Cool
How often should I be threading my hair? And How long do I leave my hair threaded?
You can do it whenever you want to stretch it and leave it threaded from overnight to a week. It's all about what you want.
Pure Estrogen Thanks for the advice!!
Lavongha Coleman You're welcome.
Not sure if you're still responding to comments on this video, but how long do you usually leave the thread in your hair? 24hrs? A few days?
Anywhere from overnight to a week. It just depends on what I plan to do with my hair. If I want to stretch and style the next day, it's overnight. If I want to wear a wig, it replaces cornrows for a week. Also, the less product used, the faster it dries.
Thanks@@PureEstrogen
You're welcome.
I really want to see what the thread looks like
It's Donna 875 high strength weave thread from Sally Beauty.
can this be done on washed hair with no hair products added in?
It can.
yessssss first comment I love this video
tyreese johnson YAY!!! Thank you. 😚
I would wear this as a style. I imagine I would have breakage at the base of the threads. that even happens with braids unfortunately. my hair likes any kind of twist though

pats cookie but I think the lco method works better for low porosity hair
Do the threading have to be close together when doing the thread
Doodie Bug No, but it gives straighter results.
How long before you unravel it?
8 hours at the earliest and 1 week at the latest. It depends on how I feel.
I standard gorgeousness
Thank you.
What kind of thread you use? Can I get it from beauty supply store
It's just weave thread form my beauty supply store.
Beautiful but there's no way my hair can get this straight! Wow
Amisse Baras You'd be amazed. I bet it could.
What if when I take the knot down some of my ends come with it if I hear or feel even one strand its gonna set me off.
Then it is what it is
You don't have to knot your hair to secure the ends. Simply wrap going all the way down, bring the thread up a few inches and then wrap coming down to your ends.

@@kinkscoils9636 You're welcome.
How long did keep it in?
I keep them for anywhere between 8 hours and one week. It depends on how I feel.
I'm not fond of bone straight hair...makes the hair feel flat
Luv it 💓🌴👑🌹
Grace Nombe Thank you.
Hi how much hours i can use this for
Wendell Broomes 8- 12, but you can also keep it in for a few days before removing.
A little cream and oil :)
lol
How long did you leave this in for?
Tammy & Jayy I can't remember, but it usually ranges from overnight to a week later.
@@PureEstrogen Its nice and polite that you reply to people. i like that.
