Braidout with Kimmaytube's leave-in (with pics)

[divachyk]

My picture taking abilities of self is still a bit suspect so I apologize for the poor quality photos but this is a braidout done with kimmaytube's leave-in conditioner! Loved the results. My hair feels super soft and moisturized.

This is my first official braidout and I'm finding my braidout has a very short shelf-life. I'm 3 days in and looks like I'm due for a re-do. I'm new to this braidout thing so I have a few questions --

How do you keep your ends nice and wavy without them becoming stringy and stragly as they braidout grows old?

How many days do you rock a braidout before washing & redoing?

How do you keep a braidout looking neat (not fuzzy and old looking)?

I've never rocked a braidout...just wanted to say your hair looks nice!

Came out nicely!
I would rebraid mine every night in large braids to help it last longer and to help protect my ends while I slept.

Rebraiding, moisturizing, and sealing works for me. Good job!

divachyk, girl your hair is looking nice! Moisturizing and re-braiding at night will help keep it fresh.

Nice braidout divachyk! Just re braid in a bigger looser braid or wear a satin bonnet.
