~~~~Braid out help please~~~~

[katote]

I flat ironed my hair 2 days ago. I was thinking about doing a braid out. Any suggestions on how to accomplish a braid out?

i just learned how to do a nice braid out about a week ago. first i co-wash my hair, then use aussie 3 minute miracle, then i add something special leave in conditioner, let it air dry a little bit until it is damp and then i make about 16 to 22 braids all over my head randomly and roll the ends with perm rod rollers (the pink ones) and let is dry over night after i wrap it up with a silk scarf. i have some pics in my fotki.

I have a tutorial. click here

The longer the braids are in your hair, the tighter the curl.

Also I've found that sometimes less is more. So you might want to only use one product like a light moisturizer.

If you're going to do a braidout on flatironed hair, you could mist it with a little water then braid in about 4 sections to get it to wave up. Or you could braid your hair then go take a really hot shower to "set" the hair. Let your hair dry completely before taking the braids down.

i like that tip. So in your opinion, does that define the curls more?

Yes, I think so. And its also nice if you work out a lot because you have a cute hair style when you finish your workout/shower.
