Braid out prep

I am on a natural hair growth journey to waist length hair, and part of that also means taking a break from protective styles every now and then. Today I tried using the #cremeofnature leave-in conditioner and mousse on dry pre-stretched hair. I also went in with the #sheamoisture anti-hair fall hair oil.

... Read moreFor those on a natural hair growth journey, maintaining healthy hair while experimenting with styles is crucial. A braid out can be a versatile hairstyle that allows you to protect and showcase your natural curls. The preparation steps for a successful braid out include ensuring your hair is clean and properly moisturized. Product selection plays a pivotal role; using a quality leave-in conditioner, such as Creme of Nature, can help nourish and hydrate your hair. Additionally, SheaMoisture's anti-hair fall oil can strengthen hair and prevent breakage, making it easier for your hair to thrive as it grows. After applying these products, consider sectioning your hair for braiding to ensure even distribution of moisture and avoid tangling. Maintain the braid out by wearing a satin scarf at night to reduce friction and preserve your hairstyle. With consistent care and the right techniques, achieving beautiful braid outs can enhance your natural beauty and support your goal of reaching waist-length hair.

Braid out 🥰
Micro loc braidouts have been my go-to whenever my hair feels flat… but let’s be real, it’s deeper than just hair. There are moments in life when things feel a little dull, a little routine, a little “off” and instead of waiting for a big change, I’ve learned to tend to what I already have. T
