I've told my sister-in-law about it & she's tried some of the products you use on my niece's hair, which is getting pretty long now.<br /><br />Hopefully, I can get her to try banding. I know I definitely will for my own hair this summer! I'm a regular at the beach & need a way to style it other than doing lots of double strand twists. I do not have the time to spend hours on end every week doing my hair!

only just heard...Hello all, I am new to this blog. <br />only just heard of banding but, another way to stretch the hair out is threading.<br />it is not the everyday thread you use for clothes. it what i grew up with and got my hair very long as a child. unfortunately i didn't have the reassurance that my hair was beautiful natural and relaxed it as a teenager. I am now in my 30s and have transitioned back as a natural. my daughter who is 7 has appreciated that and loves her her natural. Again i made the mistake too to texturise her hair.. yes - i regret it alot.<br />we are now both exploring ways to style our hair naturally and she is loving it. use threading to stretch her hair after a wash.<br />hopefully her hair will grow back properly soon.. she has a habit of tangling the hair line.. and breaking ends off when she is untagling them.. don't know how to stop her doing that... and advice will be nice..BJ's daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15330900581573589882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401110087633857998.post-23722093659987285902011-10-15T20:26:13.406-04:002011-10-15T20:26:13.406-04:00I recently tried banding my daughters hair.

It was so cute and she got so many compliments that I left it in for 2 weeks. Not a good plan. I used a Shea butter based moisturizer in her hair, but it was so dry and had broken places that I cried when I took it out. I'm guessing banding isn't meant for lasting styles? Any thoughts on that?Ramonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11543009756679073312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401110087633857998.post-59083140471116234442011-10-08T14:00:41.050-04:002011-10-08T14:00:41.050-04:00really cute. she's a sweetie.really cute. she's a sweetie.sandynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401110087633857998.post-46560549911712853842011-10-04T17:18:34.325-04:002011-10-04T17:18:34.325-04:00This is a technique I am going to have to try on m...This is a technique I am going to have to try on my hair!

I like banding at night although my kids hair is not near as long as a's, it helps keep it tangled free for easy daily styling in the morning for simple pigtails and what not for school. I used to only use those cheap ponytails, I always had to use two or three together to get any hold, and they did always rip their hair out when taking them out.
