I need my braid-outs to look like THIS!!!

[Rae81]

I do my braids like this and there is always a gap between the two braid in the back and it's hard for me to blend the two sections.

What I do is a zig zag part instead of a straight past makes it easier to blend

You should! and practice makes perfect. French braids and cornrows take a long time to master, especially on yourself.

I prefer braidouts that look more like this. http://youtu.be/k0_q-UaG6_w
She has different hair and her braids are much smaller but I like the pattern that she used because the results were a more uniform wave down the length of her hair.

Hers looks awesome, yep! I think the reason I go for the look of the one I posted more is because it's looser than my wash n' go's cuz like I can get a similar look to the lady you posted with a wng so when I do a braid out I'm going for a different look than my natural curls so I like the big waves of the 2 French braids. It's a matter if preference I guess but I do adore both looks!

Wow! That's a beautiful braidout! But if I braided my hair down to the very ends I'd have knots waiting on me. I'd definitely have to use satin ribbons on the ends. I'ma try it tho....one of these days.

wavezncurlz What products do you use? I wear my hair in 2 french braids sometimes but the front of my hair is all frizzy. I use water mixed with braid spray (helps detangle), seal with oil then apply a cream (Darcy's Botanicals Curl Styling Leave In Creme). I wear headbands to hide the frizziness.

Wow I love her hair. I just watched all her videos. I wish I could braid. Thanks for sharing!

i stumbled across her videos a few weeks ago. i love her hair, even though she's trying to recover from damage. she has my ideal length and volume.

Hey isawstars
I use natural butters and sometimes kinkycurly to deal with the front. I also use a silk scarf to lay it down as I drive into my commute. I must admit that that picture is a few years old - I have more grays in the front and they DO.NOT.BEHAVE. They have a life of their own and I just deal with the fuzzies.

I love your siggie pictures. Beautiful hair!

Unfortunately I have to braid my hair whilst it is soaking wet and in about 12 braids otherwise it's break city. Which is why it takes about 4 days for my braidouts to stretch out.
My hair would cry if I did 2 big braids on dry hair.

My braidouts don't come anywhere close to being this nice. Her hair looks great!

Gorgeous. My hair is nowhere that lovely but next time I do a braid out i'll try just two cornrows and maybe it'll look 25% as nice. Thanks for posting that

Is she relaxed, texturized or natural? I can achieve the "before" look with tension drying and a blow dryer. My braid outs doesn't look as good, but I may try this in a few months after I get past the winter hair hibernation (buns).


ETA: I just looked at the homepage of her channel, she's natural.

I love how much body her hair has even with the Ecostyler gel!

Can you do three braids instead of 2? 2 on the sides and 1 in the middle, that way you won't have the separation in the back.

Yea she's natural, she says on her vids that she's heat damaged.

her texture is similar to mine, I love her twist out I think she used a little too much gel on the crown area though but it's full and fab. I just subscribed

I used to do this all of the time prior to my last BC. I didn't have the spongey thing for the end of my hair and tucked it in and then used a small rubberband to secure it.
