Braidout Pics

[amara11]

(Already posted for my RT ladies).

I did ApHogee's Keratin 2 minute reconstructor this weekend, b/c I needed protein. (I didn't follow directions...at all - but it came out incredibly soft and really shiny. I was pleased since my hair had been very dry/rough for a minute and conditioners/dc's weren't all that effective).

I don't blow dry before braidouts, I just brush out, then braid.

After the ApHogee treatment I used avocado butter and a little Apricot kernel oil on my ends. I don't really use hold products, because I don't like too much hold in braidouts/twistouts, I like them more worn/swollen.

The last few pics are after a couple days, and exposure to humidity.

My 4 yr. natural nappiversary is Sunday.

Cornrows or individual braids Amara?
I love how defined they are! Now I want to buy some Aphogee.

Gorgeous braidout!

So when you say "brush out" do you just brush to detangle?, brush down to smooth? and what kind of brush do you use?

Beautiful. That's how I want my braidouts to look when I finally do a braidout.

Brushed out to detangle and smooth. I used a denman brush.
