Hi guys.
Wanted to make a thread to help some of you. I don't use any heat on my hair at all but I'm able to stretch it to a very generous length, at times it stretches to my hips without any heat and considering my hair is type 4 (and shrinks to almost TWA) that is significant.
Methods
Curlformers - the stretch of one set can last a month
Flexirods - such a quick and easy away to refresh an old twist out!
Flat twists - can help to stretch the roots of your hair, however..
Two strand twists - work just as well.
Flat buns - I loveee flat buns, they look classy and double as a night time style as well as day time.
Techniques
Oil - I noticed if you moisturise with a light oil like coconut oil it helps to elongate/stretch the hair however
- Water based moisturiser - if you're too generous with your water based moisturiser, it will shrink your hair so if you want a short curly look one day, choose a water based moisturiser over a light oil.
I made a new video which has a few hair tips - http://www.youtube.com/user/bootyfurl
Do you also have any methods/techniques you use?
Thanks!
