❤ No Heat-How To Stretch Natural Hair ❤

❤ More Info In This Box ❤
Quick and Easy Natural Hair
----------------------------------
-One of the biggest mistakes I made along my first natural hair journey was the consistent use of heat.
-My second time around I am using more no heat methods to stretch my natural hair.
-Why is stretching important? Not everyone needs to stretch their natural hair. My hair is kinky and very tightly coiled, so I do benefit from a good stretch. Stretching the natural hair minimized knots and tangles.

1. Start off with freshly washed hair (don't forget to apply your leave in)
2. Put the hair into a single pony tail or two ponytails. (whatever you are comfortable with)
3. I use a boar brush to slick down my edges, but you can use hands only if preferred
4. I secure my self with a goody band.
5. I braid the ponytail and secure the end of the hair with a goody band.
6. Use a satin scarf to tie the hair down and make sure that it stays secure throughout the night
7. In the morning the hair should be dry or atleast 80-90% dry.
8. Style as usual (Enjoy Your Stretched Hair!!!) :)

Alicia please do some styling videos your style is so classic and feminine I stan!

[empress]

Wow! Your hair looks so shiny and manageable 😍

[stephpowell]

Nononono. This girl right here went from fully out hair, product dashed in WITHOUT sectioning and then used a brush, again without sectioning and and brushed in back into one?!?!??!!??!

How sway?!?!?!? *HOW*??!?!?!

Also, if I did this, I'd be looking at 3 full days before my hair fully fully dried, definitely not 'the next morning'.

You are not playing with the video output. Nice to see you back Alicia.

[Queen_Melanin]

I have ALWAYS loved your hair. Welcome back on the scene. So happy you're back.

[oneflowerlover]

Beautiful Alicia. It doesn't look like you have much shrinkage.

[GigglesnGaggie]

I love your videos, they are to the point and you give valuable information within 4 minutes. Question, what is your hair porosity?

[Sweetlady]

I like how easy this style was from start to finish.

[DianaOcansey]

Your hair looks so healthy! I'm definitely going to try this method on my next wash day.

[misscychilds]

My hair takes a long time to dry. I'm going to try this tonight but I'm going to do 2 ponytails.

[AliciaJames]
