@organicloc Actually there is a difference in stretch from the twist plus band and the braids. When the hair is wet and is drying even in the twist plus band it still shrinks a bit. That why I waited til it's almost dried a bit then take lose and braid again to stretch it some more.....again. Notice I said step three is optional tho and I said why in vid. After trying several method this routine give me the most stretch without using heat.
Try to add Aloe Vera gel from Trader Joes to your hair care regimen w/ the coconut oil & giovanni direct leavin. The aloe vera gel from trader joes is very light weight, it doesnt weigh your hair down, promotes strenght, continous growth,VERY soft and comes w/o alot of other ingredients. There should be a Trader Joes store somewhere in the Atlanta region.
I have to try that method... I had a banding failure a while ago and haven't tried again since.... lol...But upon watching this video I am going ot give it another go along with your other tips! thank you for sharing.
Wow, Thanx Vanie! ur hair does have major shrinkage, but I still love ur hair!;-) Thanx for sharing!

what is the difference if you plait it for a stretch look or band it for a stetch? Wouldn't it be the same?
