I actually tried it with black thread at first but i noticed my self trying to twist my hair rather than wrap it with the yarn, which is why I switched colors to practice and see where i wasnt wrapping close enough.

.....snowing all weekend, so i'll have plenty of time to practice...lol

hey i was still looking for more details on the african hair threading and I saw your video about the yarn threading, I thought that it was a great idea. I also commented the video. Your hair looked beautiful

I am still searching to find out some good thread to use since I don't know if they sell that particular thread in the USA. Is the thread that they use to sew weave anything close to it? Any suggestions on what thread I should use?

Thank you!
I just used the same acrylic yarn i did for yarn braids.
Tenachie mentioned crocheting thread/yarn too (not sure if those are the same thing.
