1. Banding
This is a method that involves using small elastic hair bands to band the hair in bits. The result is stretched out hair.

Process: Wash, condition and moisturize your hair. While your hair is still damp, partition it into bits then starting at the root of the hair, wrap a hair band around it and continue till you get to the tips of the hair. Allow the hair to dry completely before taking out the hair ties and that’s it.

2. Twist-Outs or braid-outs
Simply putting your hair into braids or twists can actually stretch it out pretty good. For best results, ensure your hair is clean and moisturized before you start.

You can do it overnight and unravel them the next morning but the longer the hair stays twisted and braided, the more stretched it’ll actually be.

3. Using flexi-rods
Flexi rods stretch out your hair and also gives you some curls. So two for the price of one! Here’s how to pull it off: Wash, condition and moisturize your hair. Partition your hair into bits and then starting from the tips, gently but firmly wrap each section around the flexi-rod and bend the flexi-rod to secure it.
