Nah
Honestly….i CANNOT agree with this technique!! Forst of all if u cant braid short hair, then u need to tear uo ur cosmetology licence, cause u not good for ish…n secondly…i think we all know as black women at least by now…rubber bands are NOT GOOD FOR OUR HAIR!! Matter of fact..neither are sew ins! As u can see…the model has no hair to leave out aa it is…smh
Sew ins are good for your hair. Most ppl never take care of their hair or the weaves.
Well….i guess thats true…for some women? Cause alot of women…like u said, do not take care of their hair or weave…unfortunately. but in my opinion…just find the proper way to nourish n protect whats yours. ….n a sew in will b an option n not a necessity.
Agreed Shanice Lee Kai. If you have a good stylist that cares about the health of your hair, it will grow with a sew in. I have healthy APL hair thanks to my stylist and sew ins. New goal is BSL!!
Well said! I’m not a stylist and i grew my daughter’s relaxed hair to shoulder length wigh rubber bands. The trick is not to tight and not letting them stay to long on the hair in one position.
Yea,,
and also with the weave after a while the rubber bands will pop but the sew in is still secure . …
I had no hair at first now its way full and mini bob length
Rubberbands are no nos this method seem too harsh for any ones hair
Old I been doing that to my hair cause I can’t braid
That’s ridiculous this is why black women are going bald tryna look like Europeans
Exactly smh
Ugh now I want my weave back hahaha great new technique tho
OMG if them rubber bands be to tight will have the worst headache and her scalp will be filled with sores…but it looks really good
This looks like it would be a nightmare to take down. The end result is nice though.
This isn’t new but nice
I’m pretty sure you can enter change for the thin hair ties
Oh noo
Um her hair is long enough for braids
It’s long enough to braid. My hair use to be that length and it’s still growing with sew ins
Yup it is long enough for braids exactly what I thought
Always coming up with new and inventive ways to damage your hair…
Being that i am a Hair Stylist myself, i can’t agree with this method. Rubber bands cause thinning and breakage know matter how you put it! You can do what ever you prefer, but my suggestion to you, is if you want to have hair underneath you weaves stick to the braiding technique.
I thought braiding was healthier anyway…I’m with you
It is people tend to think braiding also damage your hair. Truth is it can be damaging, however that all depends on how tight the hair is also the method used to take them down. Alot of people don’t understand when they’re taking down their braids it better to condition they hair the comb it out wide tooth comb. If you don’t use this method then of course it will look as if the damage occurred from the braids. Another thing is if your braids are to tight around your edges of course they will be pulled out, but once again its not the braids Its the braider!
I know that was a long reply but not only was it in response to you but also a response for those who may not know the actual cause of damage.
Thank you for that information. I am natural…have been going on 3 years now. Weaves always made my hair grow, if I ever start back I will follow your method. How long have been a stylist? And your post wasn’t too long at all loved it
Thank you!!! I am glad i could help, and I have been a stylist for 15 year’s.
Wow long time!!! You sound like you know what to do, which is what we need!!!
Healthy hair is my thing. Alot of people do it for the money, meaning the will do what method their client ask. I’m the type if i know it will damage you real hair, im sorry but i cant do it. I refuse to put my name on something that will make someone question my craft. All of my clients have healthy hair and if it short it is short by choice, but it’s healthy!
I didn’t think this was a good idea rubber bands cause breakage.
I couldn’t agree more.
Yes i am! I would love to have you as a client!
I’m agree too but there is people like me who doesn’t know how to braid….so rubberband could help me to comb my hair myself
I understand people want to do their hair themselves, and some may even want to save money, but just know sometimes taking the easy way out can cause you damage in the long run and in some case balding. I hope the rubber band method works in your favor.
Girl I literally watched this 10 mins ago
She lost me at rubberband. The girl she’s doing it on doesn’t have any hair and she’s about to rip out the little she has left
And for the fact that she states it lasts just as long as a normal braiding technique makes it a bit pointless..
This method was introduced by a stylist called She’s International in the 90s. The same method has also been done with weaving thread instead of rubber bands. The reason I think it’s not so popular is the possible damage from the rubber bands.
Nope nope nope to all of those rubber bands
Thanks I won’t I will stick to the braids lol
Yes indeed! I braid my own and do my own sew ins trying to hold on to my hair lol
Looks pretty simple!
Beautiful!
Haha awesome
She has enough hair to braid. But she’s stupid to use rubber bands knowing it’ll take her hair out.
Naw this is asking for no edges
Rubber bands burst out after a while, I don’t like this method
Naw rubber bands rip your hair out
Nooooooo nooooo rubber bands geeesh ppl
These sew ins were meant for theatrical performance not for every day use. #doingthemost
This isn’t “new” I taught this to my cosmetology students back in 2011 … This is not a good technique I would consider using for a sew in… The rubber band tugging at the hair and is too damaging
I already know how to do that, haha your late, lol everyone wants braids now days
Braiding too tight can damage the scalp and hair too…
I say the only to e I would do this method is when I’ve made a wig or crochet wig and cause I can’t braide that well..I would do a perimeter like this then the rest big braids…I scared it would tangle n pull. I sweat a lot and my hair is fine n thin. Worth a try
That’s what I thought too. Just don’t make the rubber bands too tight.
As a stylist I’m not a fan, rubber bans cause breakage. Cute hair tho!
Snatch bald
Yes rubber bands do cause damage but so does braiding.
Why so much hair..Why not just get a good wig. Can you imigine taking down. Also wonder how much she charges for that hairstyle????
What happen when your head itch?? SURELY WILL WITH ALL THAT SHIT ON IT,
Why not just sew it in,Dahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I see why her hair is so short and uneven. I’d never let someone do that to my hair. Rubber bands….heck no!
Is she out her damn mind? I would nevr go to her salon. She probably bald as a baby’s behind.
I hate the way rubber bands stick my hair
Smh
It’s interesting to see…. But damaging!!
I’m just like that mess looks like it took 10 hrs just to do the rubber band thing…..not to mention the stress she’s putting on that girl’s hair..
Wtf is this bs
That looks too time consuming and damaging…
I personally wouldn’t want to do this method. I’d rather just braid it underneath. But if that’s what she wants in her hair okay.
I rather get it braided….that seems like it’ll take forever
Ewww
Rubber bands can do the same damage tight braids do
People just want to “invent” something. Braidless sew ins were done this way back in the day and has been known to take out clients hair with this method, but I guess if done properly it could work! I might give a shot. Lol jk
Lol, not gonna happen. This will leave folks bald(er). Lmbo!
I’m doing this!
Rubber bands are not good for hair it can cause breakage and cause head to be very sore also all the tension can be extra painfully i cant agree with this technique
Right I just thought a good idea for someone with really really short hair lol
I bet those rubber bands hurts, especially once she sews it down.
“New”?
Been out for YEARS. lol
My stylist used this technique when my hair started to fall out due to the medication I was taking… it worked for me. My hair was already cut into a short style prior to my hair falling out. Once my hair began to grow back in she cut my hair down to everything looked even. Today my hair is growing back in. I would do this technique again if I feel like having my hair a bit longer. It felt weird at first but after a while I got used to it. Thanks for sharing 🙂

My head would hurt from the tension
Spice Will good for short hair
NO AND NO… NOT HEALTHY AT ALL
I had a stylist to do a rubber band sew in on my hair and he did NOT even use a net. Needless to say I was not a fan. It hurt like hell, it did not appear as if it would last, and I took it down immediately. He would not even refund my money. I was hot!
Yass i saw that, that’s madaboutmeechie! the foundation look like it hurt but it’s good for non braiders or people with short hair lol
I’ve seen this done before but it was because the client hair was really short
Smh she ain’t never gonna have no hair. And I am scared of the nape of her neck. I was thinking those dry as rubber bands were going to snatch out her hair In Patches.
Neat!! Might have to try that… Seems like it would take way longer than braiding
This Technique Is Unique, Wow!
I don’t like it
Right and its so bad for your hair
This has been around for at least 10-15 years.
Just watched this and will try it on my daughter. Thanks for sharing.
i have a question every time I get a weave 3 -4 day later it starts to itch like crazy can you recommend something to use for it
As a stylist when a client hair is to short to braid I just add a little braiding hair to catch banding the hair with the black rubber bands are very hard on the hair but cute finish
CONE TO MIAMI PLZ
poor hair..
Just learn how to BRAID, dang.
