My first attempt at a braid out ...

[topsyturvy86]

I tried a braid out for the first time today and is the result. I did 6 braids (3 of each side) after a co-wash, when hair was wet-ish damp, put a durag on real tight and then a bonnet and took a nap. Took the braids out before hair was completely dry all over though ... woke up and was keen to know what it would look like. I haven't got a hooded dryer and so I used the blow dryer rounde a few times and then took the braids out.

What do you think?? I think it might look better when my hair thickens up a bit or gets a bit longer.

Not bad for your first try. Mine looks good when I take the braids down but then it gets super fizzy and looks a mess...lol. I'm natural; I flat iron then braid about 8 braids and leave it until I leave the house. Still it doesn't last long at all.

Good for the first time. Try to let it dry completely next time, and it'll look even better.

Thnx. Have u tried a frizz ease? That just might help. John Frieda's frizz ease for chronic frizz works wonders, i'll recommend that.

I agree. I always get better results if I let the braids dry completely or at least 90%
