Many of us are familiar with African threading or “cotton”. In Zambia its a hairstyle mainly worn by school children but it has also become a means of stretching the hair that many of us in the natural hair community use to avoid the use of heat which can be damaging. I tried corkscrew African threading last year and loved it. I was inspired to try African threading again after seeing an attendee at one of our workshops.

An attendee at one of our workshops who inspired me to try this style.
I used normal thread and have been asked a few times if they are dreadlocks.
The hairstyle was done over two days.

What do you think? Would you try African threading?
