The banding method is one quick and easy way to stretch natural hair without the use of heat. I like to do this on freshly washed hair preferably before bed so my hair has time to dry.
All you need for this method are “ouchless bands (the ones with no metal clasps).” Separate hair into small sections and apply the bands throughout the length of the hair. This can be done on both wet and dry hair, but you determine which results you like best. Naturals who struggle with a lot of shrinkage try this method out and let me know how it works for you. Those that have already tried it, do you like this method? Did it work in stretching your curls?
