Braidout......pics included

[the_UnPrettiest_pretty]

I washed my hair Tuesday night and let it airdry so that I could do my usual style the next day, which is a bun. Well, when I got ready to moisturize last night, I put my hair in 2 braids (my protective style at night) and put my scarf on. I got up this morning to style my hair and I was going to do a messy, big bun, but instead I opted to just let it fly free. Hence, here are my braidout pics. Hope you guys like them. BTW, this was my first official braidout!!

Your braidout turned out very pretty for your first time.

NICE!!! HOW DO YA GET YOUR ENDS TO STAY CURLY?

I was kinda worried about it at first. I don't do braidouts for the same reason I don't do wash 'n' gos. My hair always ends up a tangled mess and it becomes hell to comb and detangle afterwards. But when SO saw this look, he begged me to leave it like this, so I did. He really likes it. And so do I........I guess it can grow on me over time.

Hmm.......good question. I honestly didn't use anything on my ends except those little small black rubberbands. However, I did flip my ends up and banded them together with my braids so that they wouldn't be hanging out.

Beautiful braidout!

Thanks ladies!! I'm still learning the ropes about things like this, so since I'm in my experimental phase, I thought this would be a good place to start. A lot of women on here have some very pretty braidouts and I was hoping to achieve the same thing.......some day!!!

Absolutely inspiring! What leave-in did you use the night before? When I try braidouts, my hair has a dry yet oily look. Your hair looks simply beeeyouuuteee-fullll. I wanna do that, too...

 

[Nicole1976]

Wish you had a fotki so I could go stock it

Thanks girlie!! I used Fermodyl and Giovanni Direct and sealed with Jojoba oil. My hair wasn't oily at all. In fact, it was quite soft!! I certainly was surprised. The first thing I asked myself was "hmmmm.....what did I do different?" And then I remembered that it must have been the Silicon Mix and the Olive Oil rinse (Nacidit). They left my hair amazingly soft and I'm really lovin' it.

Thank you ladies!! Yall have really made my night. I'm usually self conscious about taking pics of my face (it's soooo chubby), but I couldn't resist since I wanted to post pics of my braidout, plus I got some new eyeshadows and was trying them out, so I figured I'd post them anyway. Thank you all for the compliments. I really needed them (so much negativity and so many naysayers around my way)

Girl, you will! Just keep at it!! When I was a child, my hair was pretty long. As I got older, it got shorter (bad practices). In high school, my hair never even got to BSL. Now, I'm 3 inches from WL!!!

Wow, you are soo pretty! *Taking make up notes* Oh yeah...I like the hair too You go girl!

Thanks babes!!

I like your lipstick. How did you get it like that? What shades did you use and how did you apply it?

I used a brown lipliner and MAC lipglass in Oh Baby.

 

[AllAboutMoi]

Love it! Looks very nice. Are you going to braid it back up at night?
