You may have noticed that I don’t wear many braid outs. I braid my hair mainly to stretch it, but I was never fond of wearing the “out”results,because I never really like the way it looked on me. In this post which I rightly titled the Accidental Braidout, I mentioned that I was going to try to perfect my braid outs. So I guess this is my first official attempt.

It’s not a complete fail, but it was not the result I was going for this time around. Some of the braids were not dry even after having them in for 18+ hours……and I braided on slightly damp hair. So obviously they puffed up as soon as I took them down, and they got bigger as the evening went on.
I did re-braid my hair that night, but I didn’t like the result and ended up wearing a puff the next day. Back to the drawing board I go. I think I will try using my Satin Ribbons to do them next time. Stay tuned…
Do you wear braid outs? What’s your technique?
Until next time
Thank you Tashelle. I completely get where you’re coming from, they take forever to dry. Thanks for the tips 🙂
Thank you so much Yemi ♥
My first Braid out was pretty when I took it down but about 2 hours later was an afro…LOL! The next time I did it I made sure to let my hair dry all the way. I didn’t use too much product and also used a creme that had a holding agent in it. I think yours look nice.
Aww you both look so pretty!!!
