OP your braidout is lovely! Twistouts never turn out right for me either so I tried a braidout today and me likey!!! The first time eva! I usually do WNG's but am noticing a little more shedding than usual and I'm thinking the everyday moisture may be the culprit so I need another easy style and this seems perfect. Question, when you rebraid nightly, do you use the cholesterol everytime or how often? Trying to think what to do for bedtime, lol . TIA!
Thanks Hysi!
When I was doing braidouts in the fall/winter I would re-braid every night. Just because I like the freshly styled look when I do braidouts.
I stopped using the cholesterol - not because I didn't like the results, but because I just prefer Giovanni Smooth as Silk as an everyday styler now.
I know its a conditioner, but its very light, I love the smell and it makes my hair sooo soft. Plus, the ingredients are awesome, and I like the fact that I feel like I'm getting more use out of the bottle.
If I used it as a co-wash or treatment conditioner it would be GONE in a matter of days. lol
A little goes a long way - I just squirt a half-dollar sized amount on a jar lid, and that's usually more than enough for my entire head.
I've also heard some naturals mix Giovanni SAS in a spray bottle with water an use it as a daily leave-in/moisturizer. Still need to try that
I haven't done my braidouts in a while - this summer its been a lot of buns, wash and gos, and a couple of blowouts/presses. But I will def have to go back to this when it gets cooler outside.
*Hope this helps
