Stretching coily hair by way of pulling back a ponytail on air dried hair. The hair was co washed, finger detangled, micro fiber towel dried, moisturizer put on, air dried fully, pulled back into a ponytail for the initial stretch, and then later that evening braided up (about 8-10 braids). This maximized my stretch the very next day. 3 days later, the hair was stretched to capacity.

Your hair is gorgeous. It turned out great too. I tried something similar just a few minutes ago and now I'm sitting here with a big lopsided ball of frizzy mess on the top of my head. At least it feels soft.

@dummeeule LOL. So funny ;o) Now you know what techniques will give you a ball of frizzy mess ;o) Trust me. I've had ball of frizzy mess days Hahaha. Just watch what you do, and try to figure what step you would do differently to get stretched results without the frizz. I'm STILL working on my dag blasted roller set LOL. Thanks for the message Love.

Your hair is wonderful before and after, I don't believe my hair will hold a stretch for longer than 12 hours, because it is so porous to moisture. I think the hair has to be able to hold moisture to remain stretched for more than 2 days. Once my hair is dry, shoulder length hair will shrink to above ear length hair and whatever pattern it had on the twist out is completely gone. My hair type is the 4b/4c kinky zig zag, super thick category. Do you have any suggestions?

@MilliePat You bring up a great point. Porosity has a lot to do with things too (just as much as curl pattern, I think). When I wear a stretched texture, I mist it with water nightly. It doesn't revert b/c I use butters/pomades/thick moisturizers and oils. It would take more than a mist to penetrate those products. My stretch stays if I re-twist nightly after I moisturize. Yes, once dry it will pull up. You r right, u gotta re-mist nightly, add lil more product and re-twist to stretch

@rosieoutlk Aww thanks! I wouldn't mind wearing it like that (fixed up a bit), but I think there will be !@#@ to pay when detangling time comes after wearing that joker unstretched! Now I see why some people insist on stretching their coils, it saves you from the drama LOL!

I like your natural hair just air dried. Great curl pattern.
