So glad so many of you are going try this banding/threading-like (thranding? Lol) method. Just a note for those doing twists outs and etc. after using this method, I only use hair butters (no added water) or oils when I twist my hair after removing the bands. If you use a water based product like a moisturizing cream or twisting butter your hair will start to shrink again. Just wanted to give a heads up and be sure to check the ingredients first before you start twisting. * Of course this only applies to those that want as much length or stretch possible using this method. Sometimes I moisturize and retwist with a light cream between wash days and my hair shrinks a little. Hope this helps 💕

I wear my hair in its natural fro state and I do not get single strand knots or tangles. These tips might help: Avoid butters (Shea, mango, cocoa) in ingredients of moisturizers and avoid in deep conditioners, use a more hydrating deep conditioner (Matrix Biolage Balm), wet hair more often (with aloe + water or rosewater Spritz), use more moisturizing products (Qhemet Biologics Amla heavy cream or their Burdock root cream), stop twisting or braiding your hair for at least one month, finger detangle only. These tips should help increase your moisture levels. Once they increase, you can start detangling with tools (on dry hair), but don’t detangle with tools on wet hair. I used to get single strand knots all the time when I was twisting/braiding my hair every week and using products with butters. My texture was also dull and undefined. Now, I have zero single strand knots and my texture is shinier and defined. It is about moisture, avoiding coating products and training your texture to naturally clump without tangling.

I'm a fan of 22nd Century Natural Woman as well. I've incorporated banding with my girls and myself and it's a wonderful thing. She's great and so are you!

Love your stretching method, been doing it for a year & have seen significant hair growth! Thanks so much for your videos!💕

I’m just now seeing this and girl you got me adding: “get my hair game up” to my goals list! I will be doing this every other Sunday.

MyNaturalSistas is giving top notch content, and better quality than a lot of these youtubers. They are deserve way above 1 million subscribers. Too underrated for such product.

I band my hair every wash day it also helps with length retention. And yes like you said less knots and tangles which I love lol! Your hair has grown so much 😍🙌🏾

Black women are magicians lmao this is amazing I’m going to try it. Much love 💜

Your hair is hair goals for me. I would love to be able to wear my twists in a half up half down hair do if my hair was long enough

Thank you for this, I have been struggling so much to stretch my hair. I don't use heat at all anymore except to deep condition so this might help as I am still in the awkward length phase of my journey. Keep doing what you are doing, you are all awesome! This is one of my favorite channels!

I've been heat free for almost 2 years now! I band my wash n gos and whenever I want a heatless blowout!! #teamnoheat

This is my favorite method so far. I don't like over the top styles and overly complicated tutorials. You have my vote. Short and simple.

I’m gonna try! This maybe the solution I’m looking for. natural hair can absolutely be simplified! Thank you sis

Thank you omg I’ve been looking for ways to stretch my hair and it never crossed my mind to use this method🙌🏾

Your hair is so beautiful, and so are you. I am two years in being natural and just had it cut and shaped, and my hair is pretty short. Not twa short but short. I can’t wait to retain some length to give this method a try!

Absolutely cannot wait to try this!! Your results are everythingggg!!

I absolutely love it! I’m going to try it this weekend! 😊❤️

I luv the results. Thanks for such a helpful video. I'm going to try it on my wash day tomorrow.

If this aint goals.

Thanks for sharing this! Fabulous results! Love your hair!

Your hair looks amazing!! I have done this method before but not with so many hair ties. I will try this method the next time I want my hair stretched ❤

You talkin bout someone else's hair being goals... YOUR HAIR IS GOALS!! I just recently big chopped and can't wait to have long hair again.

YESSS on this method!!! I keep my hair in a stretched state too! I will definitely be trying this on wash day next week!

I LOOOOOOVE 22nd Century Natural Woman!!!!!!! Her shampoo bars are the truth🙌🏾🙌🏾

Omg! You are so gorgeous 🥰🤩Thanku for sharing this !

I will try this method! I have the same textured hair as you and have trouble with my hair. You're a life saver 😍!

Your hair is GORGEOUS! I’m sending your video to my daughter. She has very thick hair. Her hair has never been permed or hot pressed.

Beautiful hair! You all do a really good job maintaining your natural hair.

Yes ma’am I so needed this tutorial! I’m trying this tomorrow

thank you so much for this and for adding the note about what you use to twist after this method! your hair looks gorgeous!

I have been loosely banding in 5 sections, but now I’m gonna try this method to get more stretch 🙌🏽

I've never tried this method but I definitely will now. I usually do braids then clip them back so they don't shrink too much.

can’t wait to try this tysm

Im just watching this to show support. My hair isn’t at this length, so I clearly need to go back and check out your previous stretching method.

I tried this method before I enjoyed the results. But now you make me want to try it again then do a twistout! Your twistout was so shiny and full and just everything I want in a twist out! Everytime I do twist outs on wet hair it shrinks sooo much and detangling afterwards is horrible. I prefer braid outs over twist outs because it is more stretched but definitely going to try the banding method maybe with a silk ribbon instead. Thanks love 😘😍

My shrinkage is REAL so imma try this stretching method!

Thanks so much for sharing this video!! I am definitely going to try this method on my next hair wash day! Lord knows that I hate wash day and this will make it much easier for me!!

Great video. Great method. I used this method two years ago (learned it from 22nd Century Natural Woman) and had the most growth too during that time. I moisturized with coconut oil, liquid silk, and argon oil, sealed with shea butter, and left it banded all week in about 5 to 8 sections depending on how full or less full I wanted my hair to look when I took it out. I cut my hair last year and stopped banding it, but recently decided to start doing it again. If one doesn't mind the separated banding or doesn't have enough twisties to do the threaded look, overlapping the ends each time you add a new band makes the wave pattern more uniformed.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'm excited to try this out soon

Girl you are GORGEOUS! Hair included :)

I used blow dryer to stretch my hair, but now I’m gonna try this method 😃. Thanks for sharing ❤️

Your hair is beautiful either way. After I watch this video I hopped right in the shower and did the same method as you. Can't wait to see what it looks like tomorrow. Keep up the good work 😉👍❤

Awesome! I cannot wait to try this!

This technique just changed my life period

I'm going to try this method. Thanks for sharing.

Pretty I was not expecting your hair to fluff out like that!

Definitely trying this thanks Queen!

Beautiful hair! 😍... my hair goals! Thanks for this video. I have horrible shrinkage and have been looking for a way to keep the stretched look, but the only way I can achieve mine is by twisting it dry or damp and not wet, so thanks.

Really cool. I'm going to try this!!!

India your hair is my goal! I have not seriously tried the banding method but have watched enough videos on it to start the movement LOL

Your hair is looking so good! Love it!

definetly going to try this method! ive been using too much heat blowing my hair out so i'm gonna do this for some love and care haha

I will definitely be trying this. Thank you for sharing

This is the same method I used to stretch my locks, and it really worked.

I’m definitely going to try this method! I usually stretch my hair with a blow dryer. This method looks way more reliable than other ones i have seen

Needed this video.... Definitely going to try.

What an incredible idea!!! Trying this too👏🏾

This is right in the nick of time! I've been looking for a way to stretch my hair

I typically blow my hair out to stretch it. I've tried doing it your way, but my hair tangles so easily because of it's coily state. I blow it out after i wash it and then I plait it. I may try your method again, but LAWD i'm not looking forward to the tangles. Thanks for sharing. Your hair is beautiful .

Natasha aka Tash there are a lot of companies that sell detangler! I use Cantu because I wouldn’t be able to band either without it.

I love this technique it just that my hair takes forever to dry. Your hair is beautiful.

Your hair is very beautiful. I stretch my hair using curlformers, twists or banding to keep it as detangled as possible. When I wear an afro I band it so it will tangle less too.

Your shrinkage is wild lol encouraging

I’ve tried banding before a with the gaps. When I take my crochet out, I will try this method

You and your hair are absolutely gorgeous!!!

I have lots of African thread that I used once and I need to get back to using it again 💞STOP being LAZY! Thinking about using those bands too 👍🏾

Yes Girl it help I will try it I feel my hair is more manageable also stretched out its so thick!

This video is everything I needed 🙌🏾😩

Same here. So much easier than banding for me. My hair wraps around those things like nobodies business, which makes taking them out a chore and threading is so much quicker!

You are so gorgeous girlie! Loved this! I’m definitely going to have to try this. Thanks for sharing India. 🤗

I've just recently started to use the banding method for my wash n go's and it works well!

Beautiful girl with beautiful hair; & this was so well presented & encouraging! Thank you.

Just washed my hair so I'm definitely about to try this lol!

LOVE IT! Beautiful sis!

I took down my protective style and washed my hair last week and I have a lot of shrinkage and I’m so glad I came across this video because I need to stretch and twist my hair . I get a lot of knots and tangles when I let my hair shrink . I have 4a hair .

Your hair is gorgeous!!!💖💖💖

I’m definitely going to try this next wash day. I just need safe bands that don’t pull out my hair.

This really works I can't believe it I thought my hair was short omg I really recommend

I use the same method and I don't use heat as well. I had to chuckle when I heard you response to seeing another person use the same method. Your response was my same response when I began to watch this video. 😂😂 I have used the threading method as well but this method seems to be much quicker. Thanks for posting.

Going to the store to pick up some bands. This is such a simple way to get stretched type 4 hair.

I band my hair after doing my wash and gos. A major difference in length!

Aaawww how pretty are YOU?!? Great video 😊👏🏾

Always gorgeous such an ABUNDANCE of beautiful healthy looking hair

Wash day is coming up for me, so going to try this.

Thank you! I love your hair!❤

You and your hair are beautiful! You've been goals for years hun lol.

Your hair is gorgeous. I have done both banding and threading and it's great,but I don't have the patience. For the past 3+ years,I've been stretching my medium sized twists around my head and pinning them down for 2+ days,and I get a lot of stretch.

Thank you! I was really looking for a heartless blow out and you came through lol... I will try this out next wash day.
