ONE MO'GIN!! Thanks Kristina- braidout technique pics

[Bublnbrnsuga]

I hope this goes through this time. Anyway, Kristina provided some tips for a great braidout. One of her tips really caught my attention- applying gel to the ends of the braid. Well, I washed my hair with blended beauty shampoo and conditioner and applied Elucence MB as a leave-in as well as Shea Butter leave-in conditioner ( thanks naturallady AKA Caisha!!) I loosely braided my hair in about 7 sections then I used aloe vera gel on the ends of each braid to hold it together. In the morning I applied natural mango butter from que shan's (thanks again, naturallady) and voila!

I like my braidouts better than my twistouts, mainly because the braids are already 'flattened' so sleeping on them won't matter. I usually have to mist my two strands before taking them down so they can fatten back up before I unravel them.

Why don't you just open up a hair salon for naturals? All of your hairstyles are just so pretty

 

[Iansan]

Your hair looks gorgeous.

Your braidout looks good. I like the your braids in the first pic. Yesterday I was imagining if my hair would ever be that long. Cause I braided my fake human hair braids like that, and thought what would it feel like this was my real hair.

I love it. very pretty!!

*now where can I find the real mango butter*

 

[pressncurl]

Bubln, your hair is GORGEOUS!!!

I love it. very pretty!!

I think you may be able to find real mango butter at http://fromnaturewithlove.com that's where I got my Shealoe from

Bubln, your hair is gorgeous. I used to have some Shea butter leave-in by Sheamoisture but I never repurchased it. It was very thick, but I might try it again since I did like it.

 

[gradygirl]

Very nice......

 

[remnant]

Yes your hair is beautiful as usual!

Yeah, that's one place, but I ordered mine from http://www.queshannaturalhairandbody.com It's not 'pure' mango butter because it contains other good oils and shea butter in it, but it's not the Elasta QP Mango Butter, which I consider unreal.

 

[so1913]

I LOVE it!!!!!

 

[Peachtree]

ahh, gorgeous!!

 

[OnceUponAtime]

The braidout, the color and the earrings...TOO CUTE! :notworthy

Don't you love when your hair comes out perfectly? I always want to go out and show it off.

Yes, I love when it comes out perfectly, especially when I am not trying to hard. Loving your statements under your screenname and where you are from!

 

[plove]

It's very pretty. I think I'm going to try it when I take out my braids.

TIA

[kitchen_tician]

Pretty Pretty!!! Your hair always beautiful! I always add something extra on the ends of my braidouts too. Normally, oil, grease or a moisturizer.

 

[Vshanell]

That is a very beautiful braid-out!

 

[Country gal]

Nice. I wished my hair would lay down enough to wear I could do 8 braids.

I hair lift from Kristina all the time. I hair lifted her tiny twists idea.

 

[ThursdayGirl]

Look BEAUTIFUL! I can't wait until my braids are that length!

 

[Brownshugaz]

[camellia]

Simply beautiful! I love it!

Your hair looks great! One question; do you rebraid each night to keep control of your hair, or what do you do to it each night to maintain it?
