Paging Beana3 and anyone else that can help

Congratulations on your successful braid out! I always try to do it but end up with really stupid looking hair. If you, or anyone else, can give me a detailed description on how you do this, I would really appreciate it. My hair always ends up looking frizzy.

Thank you.

MY hairdresser used to do this for me and what she would do is use foam mousse and spread it evenly with a little bit of oil, then part the hair into section and twist along the scalp(looks like cornrows) and then put small jerri curl rods at the end to get the ends curled and just let me sit there or if i wanted i would go under the hood dryer.. when it dried she just unloosed them and I was good to go, but I made sure i kept the scalped and hair oiled or else it would start to look really dry. Hope that helps

well i used the braid/twist out style as my staple durimg the summer and got a lot of growth from it. It was extremely cute on me.
i will be replicating my summer routine of lathering 1x (or doing a c/o wash with CPR) conditioning w/o heat for 15mins. combing out with Infusium 23 as my leave in. I had 8 or 9 twists and i used WGO on each section as i twisted it. I also think the infusium gave it some light holding power. (NOTE: Infusium is not my choice leave in throughout the year, but it was very effective in this case)

I usually do twist outs instead of braidouts b/c the twists leave my hair spiral=like and springy morseo than crimpy. I also find that when i do braid outs my hair would be too crimpy in some areas so i opted for the twist out which gave me a more sensual look.

I slept on a satin pillowcase during the summer b/c i did not want to flatten to look by sleeping in a scarf. I used plain olive oil for sheen in the days in between.

I re-styled my twist out every 3 or 4 days.

Be sure to detangle each and every wash! I could've kept my 2.5 inches of summer growth if i didn't have knots whch ultimately had to be cut away in some cases. I also was impatient with my combouts and lost more hair than i should have. Be gentle. I was always in a rush!
I've posted this before, I hope this answers you're question... If not, dont hesitate to ask away!!!

OH BTW please DETANGLE during your combout!!! the easier it is to make the parts and twist the better the end result. I used WGO only for my last braid out, but I think i'll be using a mix of olive and breakfree for my next, I'll post my results.
