Dang girl, that's one gawgeous braidout! I am wishing I had natural hair right now!

your hair looks gorgeous! Love it...I can't ever get my braid outs right...i'm going to try the gel on the ends technique!

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?

Now see, I don't know what I am going to do to keep this style. Last night, I slept with my hair in the same style and in the morning well, it looks a hot mess. It looks like I am going to try this style again tonight and maintain it by wetting the hair again and rebraiding.

Does anyone have any better ideas for maintaining this style?

bubln, that's a beautiful braidout. Thanks for sharing kristina's technique, i'll be trying out this technique in the near future!!!

What about just rebraiding and remoisturizing it the night before. To acheive second day hair from twistouts i've done in the past, i usually have to retwist and reapply either gel/moisturizer the night before. if i slept on the style without doing this, it turned into a hot mess in the morning too

Well this mango butter you mentioned woke up the PJ in me lol.

I got it a couple of weeks ago and it is good stuff! Nice and light, not greasy at all.

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.
