    I really like the African threading it gives a really good stretch without the damage.

    I'm Nigerian and my mum used to thread my hair a lot when I was younger. When I started my natural hair journey my hair was always dry when I threaded it then I realised that I had to moisturise then thread and it was all good after that

    You can use yarn for threading the hair, it’s even better for beginners, you have more to hold on your hands, sewing thread are too thin sometimes too dry for people who already have dry hair.
    Or you can search for anango thread, it’s an African rubber thread, it will keep the hair moisturize and the length retention better than any thread out there.

    I'm convinced you are my influencer. I see the direction my afro is growing.⬇️⬇️⬇️ We have similar texture and I don't like tension on my scalp. Twists work best for for my tight low porosity coarse coils. I also dislike the dryness blow outs give so African threading works well.

    My mother had been threading my hair since i was a child it is very common in DRC as well.

Thanks for mentioning the different amount of time you can leave it in for and also for mentioning the product you use for moisturizing prior to threading! Excellent!

      It depends on the type of thread you are using, anango thread are other thread which have been using in Africa, it’s very good for keeping the moisture and length retention, you won’t have the dryness like other thread especially those that made for sewing.
