Relaxed hair means straight hair ALL the time.....Um, NOT!!

[sunnieb]

Hey, sunnieb. How did you do this style? How many knots did you use, and where all did you put them?

cia_garces - I cowashed and airdried until about 80% dry. Then I put in 6 bantu knots (3 on each side of my head) and left them in overnight.

In the morning, I took them out and moisturized with ORS carrot oil and ntm silk touch. From there, just fluff, pull both sides up and clip.

Dang I gotta get better at taking more hair pics..

I'm loving how big hair is in right now, I fluff up my braid-outs, bantu knot-outs and they look great... I get a lot of compliments.

this was a couple months ago before my set back

i think this was a week old braidout that just...blew up lol
&excuse my face

Here's another braidout. This time two cornrows, with flexis on the ends. I used shea butter for the hold and definition. I have a headband on also. The curls reach about CBL-APL like this.

I didn't know if I should post here since I'm transitioning, but since 75% of my hair is relaxed....

This was just a simple braidout (literally 2 normal braids overnight). Sorry you can't see the full length (only maybe an inch or so beyond the edge of the photo), but I was breaking my arm just to take these ).

I don't want to wear wigs anymore for 2012 but I still want to protective style all year. So I'm going to be trying 99.9% of these pictures in this thread. Pretty sure mine won't look like much at first but I'll catch on eventually.

Any of you ladies have youtube tutorials on some of your pics up in here? :eyebrows2

 

[sunnieb]

I think I'm gonna do 2 french braids tonight and wear it out tomorrow since i'm stretching my relaxer. I'll give my hair a break from this little ponytail lol.

 

[BillsBackerz67]

In my siggy my braidout is a result of two corn rows (1 on each side). The braids were in for 48 hours before I took it out.

[Fyne]

[sunnieb]
