I stumbled upon this technique of stretching natural hair with a ole school wrap. You know the same wrap you used to when you had a relaxer. It’s the same thing. Shampoo and Condition your hair like normal. Part detangled hair on the side or middle and smooth your hair back and around. Hold it into place with jumbo bobby pins or a duck bill clip. (Depending on the thickness and length of your hair, you may need a handful). After it drys removed the pins/clips and smooth hair down.
I’ve tried this once before but when I first went natural. It turned out pretty well. But that was a long time ago. I’m going to experiment with this technique. But in the meantime, you try it. Ameka was so sweet to share her pictures with us. And look at how stretch her curls are.
What your favorite method for stretching your curls?

Ain’t no way that I’d be able to wrap my 4c hair around my head. Even with clips or pins…still wouldn’t work.
Thank you! I will try this method, were any wrap foams, moisturizers or curl definers used in the process and if so when is the best time-before wrapping or after?
