Information on the infographic:
1. Bunning – Start with wet detangled hair and apply leave ins. Divide hair into two and brush edges with a boar bristle brush. Tie into two low twisted buns and allow to air dry.
2. Braiding – Braid wet to damp hair in medium sections after applying leave in conditioners. Allow to air dry.
3. Blow Drying – Start with damp detangled hair. In small sections use a blow dryer* on a low to medium heat setting to stretch hair using the tension method.
4. Banding – Divide detangled wet hair into 8-10 sections. Apply hair bands* about 1 inch apart along the length of the section and allow to air dry.
5. Butters* – Avoid curl enhancing creams. Opt for butters* like avocado or shea butter* during styling to reduce shrinkage.
6. Double Stretch – Stretch wet hair by bunning or banding then once dry braid in sections and leave overnight to set. This gives the best results.
Braiding wet hair causes tension and breakage.
It don’t at all only if your hair is un healthy

Pineappling is missing from this list
ThankYou for this post!!!!
Who the hell has time to stretch their hair!?! Lol these are good tips. .I just braid it wet and I’m good to go for a few hours!
when they say “stretching” they’re referring to hair with a lot of shrinkage. these products aid in elongating and extending the look of hair. i don’t have a lot or “bad” hair shrinkage, but i’ve done my fair share of research in my 14 years of life to know, lol.
Great tips!
Oh, YES!!
Great info….
My hair…I love it! BUT….I don’t care what I do, if it’s a humid day…I have about 80% shrinkage, so I only do wash-n-go’s or afros.
i bun and i have a perm
Trying natural pray with me not easy at all for me
Ok someone pls tell what “banding” is
banding!!! best thing since shea butte
Also African threading is good and I do that and banding. I usually wear straight hair so I don’t use double heat so I rarely blow dry
