Ooooooh, looks pretty. If you don't mind, can you tell us about the process?

ETA: Nevermind. I saw that you did a dry braidout lol.
But did you use oils. How long were they in for?
 
So this was my routine...my hair was really straight from having it flat ironed a week ago and I did not want to wet it because I liked the way my edges were laying down :-)

So put some Aphogee Green tea Reconstructer all over my hair to moisten it. Then I parted it in sections and and cornrowed it in the style I wanted it while using the Aphoghee Leave in conditioner and then i put rollers on my ends. Put a scarf on and then unraveled it when I woke up this morning.

I did a youtube video I will send it when I get home.
 
It looks great.

And if you wanna camouflage the lines and fluff it out more, you could take an afro comb and pick from your scalp up a couple inches. That always helps me with braidouts.
 
Thanks for the tip! I was nervous about combing it because I didnt want to mess it up but I will definitely do that.
 
Just don't comb it all the way through. My braidouts usually last a day :( because my hair is very fine. If anything I'll rebraid at night, which is no biggie tho.
