Banding

So it's no secret Beads, Braids and Beyond is my absolute favorite blog of all time! She often bands A's (her daughter's) hair to conquer shrinkage and stretch those marvelous coils. When it comes to Nikki, I am all down for a game of Monkey-See Monkey-Do, I mean, have you seen her baby girl's hair for crying out loud? So here is my attempt at banding. For step one, I co-washed with a combination of Aussie Moist and Carol's Daughter Curly Milk Conditioner. Next, I started banding in random sections:























The next morning I when I removed her hair from the bands, her coils had in fact stretched, vastly different from the mini 'fro I am used to seeing the morning after a co-wash.
