i remember this style..lol. When i was in Ghana i had this style a couple of times when i was in school. it was soo tight and stiff it was very uncomfortable to sleep or lay your head anywhere the first weeks,doing it made me loose hair around my nape and temples cos it was worn tight.The thread used, was used make sew-ins for weave-ons cos it was soo strong. though its available people dont use them anymore even on weave ons cos the thread is no longer strong. it easily tears up when u pull on it soo hard during the coilings. People just now, use the ordinary thread for sewing which is doubled up several times to make it stronger. Or maybe the cotton yarn thread for knitting, it comes in alot of colors..it is used the same way doubled up. its looks better cos with that u can choose variety of colours for the coiling, which makes the style better looking. i had a magazine from the uk ''blackhair'' a model had the same style but with red cotton yarn thread. it looked better and softer. here are some pictures of the coils u mentioned

.....sooooo if i ever came to qatar, could i pm so we could meet maybe get my hair threaded? not anytime soon since my hair is super duper short. maybe like in a year or 2 when my hair grows out...this will be great to have as a protective & style.
A thing about this style is when ur done coiling it adds more length. It's not really possible with hair which is really short, cos u r goin to end up with really thight coils which will make it very uncomfortable and painful. The longer your hair the better cos the coils can be joined together to create another style.
I don't sit around staring at a thread waiting to see what action is gonn' be posted so I didn't know you'd addressed me. Going to look....
