My okay-ish attempt of a braidout

[renren]

Hey Ladies,

Just wanted to post some pictures of my braidout. I wore it to church today. I was pleased with it, it wasnt perfect but it was wearable. This is the first time I did a braidout and left it open. I normally put it up in a ponytail. The major problem I have with this style is getting my hair to dry fully before I take down the braids. My hair takes forever and a day to dry. perplexed As you can see my hair did not stay set in the wavy braid out pattern because of this.

It looked okay to me, I will try blow drying before I go to bed, see if that helps.
Lately I have been feeling like I work so hard to have healthy hair and its always up in a bun or ponytail. I would really like to experiment more with styles. I have decided to do a braidout everyweek until I get a look and product combination that I'm satisfied with.

Any suggestions are welcomed!!! Any hair twins out there... let me know what works for you!!

TIA

Thanks Ladies, you all are so sweet and encouraging. I must admit, I felt a little uncomfortable wearing it open. Here in Trinidad, they dont really appreciate big hair. Although im texturised my hair still gets pretty big.

I remember being asked on many occasions 'what happen to ur hair' , 'yuh didnt comb ur hair awa', I've even been asked if I was 'goin cotton pickin' erplexed

I would really like to get a braid out dats not so fluffy and a little more ZZZ shape going on.
I almost put it in a ponytail when church was going on. I went to the ladies and saw how big it had gotten, but I liked it... I dont usually wear hair styles like this... I was surprised at how much I liked the look on me.

Thanks for the support and kind comments.

I think it looks wonderful. I thought it was nice but I didn't really think it was overly big or fluffy.

If you don't have to put your products on sopping wet hair, you can try drying your hair with a shamwow towel (if you have those in trinidad). It pulls the excess water out quickly and easily. And it should dry faster.
