African Threading On Thin/Fine Natural Hair

What is the African threading Method? 

African threading is a traditional styling technique that goes back ages, African people use this method to style their hair. For this technique, black thread is wrapped around strands of hair from just above the roots all the way to the ends. This wrapping is not just stylish, but also protective in many ways, that is why it’s gotten so popular in the natural hair community over the past few years.

My Experience:

Trying African threading on my thin fine natural hair is really one of the best and safest ways I have ever stretched my hair. This was the first time trying to stretch my hair with this method, after watching 100 youtube videos on this topic :).

Let me quickly introduce myself to my newbies on my blog: my name is Adede. I am a natural hair enthusiast, a wife, a mother, and a psychiatric nurse. I have a youtube channel and a blog where I share tips and tricks for thin/fine natural hair sisters. basically, I learn by experimenting with my hair and sharing my experience with my earthlings. You can thank me later.

As much as I loved how it effectively stretched my hair, unfortunately, I am not going to try it again. Simply because I find it really time-consuming and my arm really hurt afterwards. It’s easy for me to decide not to use this African threading method to stretch my hair again because I am not a big fan of stretch hair on thin fine natural hair. I think it makes my hair looks “see through” if you know what I mean.
