This technique is quite simple and produces outstanding results, which is exactly what makes it great. Be careful when choosing your band though. You may want to use a band that wouldn’t cause hair breakage. Use satin cloth or thread.

       Procedure

  • Divide your hair into two or more sections
  • Then apply leave-in-conditioner together with either olive oil or shea butter.
  • To make a ponytail, use a ponytail holder to hold the base of one of the sections.
  • Hold the ponytail out so that it is straight and taut. Then wrap the satin cloth from the base of the ponytail to the root.

Bantu style

The Bantu style was started by the Bantu people of eastern Africa. The style has since become widely practised among those who like to go natural because of its simplicity and its trendiness in stretching and even creating coils. For best results plan for generous drying. Plus, you should try to focus on the spot where each knot is completed.

Procedure

  • Divide your hair into small numerous parts.
  • Then wrap each section into a twist first, then knot it around the root of the section and pin in place.
  • Release when it is dry. Your hair should have straightened.
