All Alaiyo Amplified waistbeads are traditionally made which means they are non-elastic, permanent tie-on strands.

No. Every strand is made specifically to fit each client. When you place your order you will need to provide your waist size in inches. Standard sizing goes up to 45". Standard Plus strands are an additional $3 per strand.

Because every Alaiyo waistbead ordered online is custom sized to fit, waistbeads are non refundable and cannot be returned for sizing issues.

Each Alaiyo Amplified waistbead is handmade in our studio.

As of yet, Alaiyo Amplified does not offer tying services or ceremonies.

Unfortunately Alaiyo Amplified does not have an in-house restringing service.

Waistbeads can be purchased online and then picked up in-studio. Please leave a note indicating that you will be picking them up. You will be contacted when the order in complete so that you can schedule an appointment.

Strands ship after they are manufactured, which is approximately 10 days after order placement. After strands are packaged, they can take up to 10 to reach clients depending on distance from the studio. For more information, visit our Shipping + Return Policy page.

Absolutely! Lots of women get them for that very reason; to watch and manage the progress on their weight loss journey. When you lose enough weight that there is 3 -5 inches of extra string available for retying, you can simply cut the strand on one side of the knot (making sure to secure the unknotted end with your fingertips, remove the excess beads, even out the beads on the strand and re-tie it.

The waistbeads physically act as a waist trainer in the sense that they are not elastic and they do not have clasps. This means that your waist can grow no larger than it is when you put them on. And because of the nature of how they behave when we eat, they remind us when we have had enough - immediately. Because of this we are more in tune with our bodies, respond sooner and eat less. It is a more organic process of mindfulness which lends itself to weight loss.

It is also important to understand and never underestimate the power of energy, intention and attention. When you create intentional constraints - even and especially gentle, affirming constraints - the body and most importantly the mind, comes into energetic compliance with the rules of those constraints. The thing we have to do is make the first step and keep our gentle, compassionate attention on the goal. Having a partner be in agreement with you in this intention, makes the effect even more powerful.

It is our position that every person with a waist (including men and children) should have the experience of wearing a waistbead. It is also important that people of non-African descent know and share the origins of this beautiful and useful tool and technology so that the culture behind it does not get lost or redirected.
