Braidout update

[Tai]

I tried a braidout for the first time this weekend. I really liked the results, full, very lush looking hair. The end of the month marks my one year transitioning anniversary so I thought I'd try some different styles to mark the occasion.

I took a few new pics of the braidout. Right now, there's no password on my album. http://public.fotki.com/DivaTai/2005_hair/april_braidout/

The only problem I had with the style is that it only lasted a day. I used Elasta's Mango Butter to do the braids. Any suggestions as to a holding product would be greatly appreciated.

Happy Nappy Trans-iversary!!!

Hi Tai! Your braidout looks great! You have such nice pictures.

Happy transitioning anniversary Tai!

Your braid-out is really pretty too. How much longer do you plan to transition? How long do you think your natural hair is now? Just curious. Can't wait to see your full head of natural hair in all its glory. Keep up the good work!

Thanks, ladies. The straight roots are courtesy of a rollerset and mango butter. Iris says that the mango butter is almost like a texturizer and she's right. The roots were looking mighty frizzy before I put a dab of mango butter on them.
My natural hair is about 5 to 6 inches long. I plan to transition for another year until I do the BC.
Tonya, I'm going to get you to that first year. :hug: We're in this together, girlie.
