If you have had a failed attempt at a braidout, try again. I love them.

I am 21 weeks into my transition, 90% of the time, my hair is pinned up and held back with a headband...

I do braidouts, once every 3-4 weeks.

For these ones, I:
Cowashed with HE 'Break's Over'
Leave In - Nexxus Headdress
Airdried till about 80% dry
Applied Lustrasilk shea butter cholestrol to each section before braiding...



Tied scarf and kept braids in overnight.
Took out with shea butter mix on my fingers (kept dipping fingers into it)

Very pretty! my hair is cut into a neck lentgh bob and I think its too short for a braidout. Ive tried it but my braids just come aloose (is that a word?lol) at the bottom.
 
Nice! Very pretty!


I can't cornrow... so I do twistouts.. and put a flexi rod on the end and under the dryer for 15 minutes.. instant beautiful hair. I love them.
 
Thank you...

That's my new growth, I tried to get a picture of a coil :-)

turned out very pretty!

eta/ot: what is that in your ava?

You did a great job. My braid outs never look like that. But I think my mistake is trying to do them on wet hair.
 
That's beautiful. I can't cornrow my own hair so I just do two regular braids and my braidouts never come out like that. Your hair looks great, and thanks for telling us your exact method!
 
Thank you :-) :-) :-)
Beautiful..You did a great job..My braidouts never look that full!!

Wow, thanks :-)
Beautiful braidout-looks professionally done.

Thanks :-)
VERY pretty braidout!

Yay, thanks :-)
whoa!; you do a nice braidout.

Thanks... yeah, try them on almost dry hair. Less manipulation, IMO.

Why don't you try flat twists using the same method? I think your hair will look beautful in twistouts :-)
