That is exactly what my mom and aunts would do as a way to stretch out natural hair. It's called "threading" in Ghana . You basically take a piece of thread and wrap the entire section of the hair from the root to the end. The entire section of hair is covered and will have sort of a "mummified" look if that makes sense. After a day or so, you remove the thread and the hair is stretched out.

sometimes if I dont' use the magnetic rollers, I will do 8-10 dookey braids, or flat twists, or cornrows and let my hair air dry. Mostly I just fro it till it dryes. Then I go through w/ my leave-in spray, and seperate into sections only spraying enough to make it slightly damp. Then I twist. As long as you are twisting on dry hair it will be stretched. If you use a twisting that isn't water based (like oyin's new shea butter/oil stuff) your hair wont' shrink as much w/humidity. Good luck to you
