Stretching Natural hair without heat??

[RabiaElaine]

Just wondering if anyone knows how? My sisters hair is natural and it has been for years but it continues to break. It's starting to be healthier now, however I would like to help her to eliminate heat from her regimen. She has 4/a hair that is about 5-7 inches long when pressed. Please help.

Thanks in advance.

braid unbraid brush thats probably the closest she will get to the look of
a blowout with out heat. some do banding but i have never tried that
or she can do the trusty braid/twist out

Maybe after she washes it, she can brush it (gently) into a cute ponytail (and braid the end of it). You know, put some leave-in conditioner in it and brush it through to get that smooth, wavy look. Then sleep with a satin scarf tied tightly on it. This should flatten out the part that's laying against her scalp. Or she can braid it all up while it's damp and has leave-in conditioner in it and sleep with the satin scarf. Then wear a braid out the next day. I don't know how to get it any straighter without heat.

She can try air drying in bantu knots with really good leave-in product.

I spritz my hair with a conditioning hair/scalp spray at night, pull it into 2 low ponytails using satin scrunchies and tie with a silk scarf. Stretches my hair with great results (in the morning all I have to do is take off scrunchies and finger style).
