Braid Out


Score!! I washed and deep conditioned, and actually slept in the conditioner overnight(if that was bad then oops, but I was sooooo tired). The next morning I rinsed the conditioner out in the shower, and put on some Miss Jessie's Quick Curls. The result was a 3 inch fro with relaxed ends straggling along, not cute :( .  So even though in the past I have not liked the way braid outs looked when I saw them on some youtube tutorials I went ahead. I grabbed random sections and braided them as tight as I could so the roots would catch, and then rolled the ends on sponge rollers and left them overnight. One thing to mention-my hair was 90% dry(air-dried) when I started, and I didn't put enough quick curls on to saturate but I did put quite a bit. I prefer to have my hair out of my face since it's so hot where I am, but I think I would have left the fron as is if I was going out.  Here are the results!
I think next time I attempt this I may put some Eco or something on my edges, they look extra raggedy from the side....
The short parts at the edges are areas of  breakage from relaxers :( , a big part of my decision to transition.
