How I Preserve My Straight Hair & Wrap My Hair Like The Dominicans 

Thanks for showing this, I was wrapping my daughter's hair for the first time.

Wrapping hair is not a black technique you should have said it’s an African technique coz we do it to in North Africa and we ain’t black we call it “ tourbillon “ here in Algeria and yes it’s an African technique.

@@serenaadryen9527Lmao do you understand the difference between ethnicity and nationality? I hope you're not that dense.

Nia Imani no do YOU know the difference between ethnicity and nationality coz I think you’re confusing the both of them.

@@serenaadryen9527 Ethnicity: the fact or state of belonging to a social group that has a common national or cultural tradition. Race: a grouping of humans based on shared physical or social qualities into categories generally viewed as distinct by society. Black: people from the African diaspora/negroids(relating to the division of humankind represented by the indigenous peoples of central and southern Africa.) Due to the translatlantic slave trade Black people and their practices/traditions can be found in Africa, the Caribbean, American, South America, etc. What does this mean? that we share common practices and traditions that have stood the test of time. So BLACK women everywhere wrap their damn hair!

I'm so glad to see a pictorial about hair and you're showing your own hair that grows from your scalp sometime they have a wig on or they have a scarf on a hat or something on they had the few say I don't want to listen to them because they might be bald-headed under that covering of they had thank you

It gets puffy doing it this way as well

David Eisler aww that’s genuinely sweet

Maybe it's a sign to grow that mullet we all miss 🤣♥🤎💪🏾

Right I saw the title and was like huh..lol we been doing this for generations....

Same. Been wrapping my own hair since I was a pre-teen (and I'm a very grown woman now) and doing it without the pins - unless I have layers in my hair. I only use a comb though as brushing can damage your ends. Thought I was going to learn something new.

@@omg703 How are you able to do it without the pins?!? All my hair will fall back down if I don't secure them in place with pins

@@sarakay1869 you should have some sort of bend to the hair (kinda like she has) for your hair to grab onto. The only time I EVER have to put pins in my hair is if my hair was just clipped bluntly or if my hair was just blow dried out. Other than that, your hair should have enough moisture and some sort of bend/curl to wrap without pins. And my hair is slightly longer than arm pit length.

That's all I ask for when young ladies be talkin about the hair whether it's natural perm no matter what you do to your hair I always say take care of it keep it clean wash it when needed you know was according to your hair some people wash their hair once a month some people watch they are every two weeks some once a week so whatever your regiment is as long as your hair is healthy that's what makes a difference because we don't want to get up in age Envy bald headed which I see a lot of ladies like that from poor judgement sometimes of hairstyles Old Navy too many chemicals whatever it may be just take care of your hair cuz I take care of mines very well

OriginalllBadass I didn’t know what it was ! 🤓

Dana Karloz oh okay lol

OriginalllBadass 😂🙈

Kitty Kat girl I said wtf I said

Kitty Kat what video were you watching she said like the Dominicans 2-3 times, and did you skip over the title too.......whew lord some people can’t be this slow🙄😒

Haha, yes! Here in East Coast, USA, we called them “stocking caps” in the 1980s and beyond.🥰😇💖

Yess this makes so much sense thanks I bought some panty hose that were the wrong color and I threw them out ugh. But now I know what I can use them for:)

@@BL3SSed-Bliss Right this has been going on since the pressing comb.

Years later lol, I always say I grew up using stockings to protect my flat ironed hair at night and people look at me like I’m crazy. I’m like I know so many other ppl do this!

I’m sure u can find a Tutorial this way if it doesn’t make sense :)

Yassssss

Yesss I agree it breaks my hair because I have very fine hair.....

Brandi Castle same

Ashley Poston yay!! Im glad the products worked well on your hair ❤️

TheCultural Confusion right same here (not anymore since I’m natural). But when did this become a Dominican thing? Cuz where I’m from all black girls wrapped their hair like this when we went to our regular black hair salons and even when we did it at home. There aren’t even Dominican shops like that Deep South and folks wrap their hair like that all the time.

Modern Soul Sista Right... I never knew it was a “Dominican” thing 🤷🏽‍♀️🤔 Because my granny have pictures of my great and great-great grandmas and they wrapped they’re hair the same way.

Lol right. Soon as your mother presses your hair for the first time you learn how to wrap it to keep it fresh. The title threw me. Lol I never even knew anyone besides Black women wrapped their hair. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Modern Soul Sista I was thinking the same because I am also a black southern girl.

Modern Soul Sista some dominicans (ex amara la negra) are black so its more of a black thing than dominican

I’m sooooo happy this video was helpful! I’ll actually be starting my cosmetology journey soon ❤️

My hair is very limp but I always wrap

But some of them will straighten your hair by burning the hell out of it. I've lost my curls twice after getting a Dominican blow out, the señoras fried my hair. Never again, I learned my lesson.

Joy Matt’ it’s bc Dominicans are know to wrap their hair and preserve it for like a month
