I get asked about blow drying or how I get my hair to be ‘straight’ and the answer still remains good old African threading. My hair is fine and the last thing I need is to get carried away with the blow dryer and flat iron because that is what I used to do. So to get the best stretch I’ll moisturize my hair with the LOC method and thread my hair in sections, for the best stretch I’ll keep it in until I have to style my hair usually when it’s time to go to work. I’ll wear a doek whilst I’m out and about for the time being. When it’s time to unravel, my hair would have retained the moisture, it’s shiny and stretched. There are other ways of stretching natural hair of course, Bantu knots, two strand twists, braids, banding, a bun where there’s sufficient length. We are actually spoilt for choice, which method or methods do you use to stretch your hair? #naturalhair #4cnaturalhair #type4naturals #mzansinaturals
