There are several things that contribute to a frizz-free braid out. For starters, the hair must be moisturized properly. While braiding the hair, remember to comb the pieces of hair with a fine tooth comb to keep the hair smooth. Leave an inch of hair un-braided and add perm rods to the ends. Make sure your hair is completely dry before taking it down.
Before starting my braid out, I shampoo my hair with Kera Care Cleansing Cream and then deep condition with Kera Care Humecto Creme Conditioner for 15 minutes. Afterwards I apply Kera Care Leave-In Conditioner and It's A 10 Miracle Leave-In Plus Keratin. For my styling product I apply Mizani Curl Define Pudding and use DevaCurl Light Defining Gel. The gel helps lay down any stray hairs. I usually keep my hair braided for half the day, so that it can dry completely. I only sit under the dryer if I'm in a rush. Once my hair is dry, I apply unrefinde coconut oil to each braid before unraveling it. In order to create volume, I use my fingers to lift my roots and I shake my head from side to side a few times. If my hair still doesn't have the desired volume, I pull some of the strands apart in areas that seems flat.

I tried my first braid out last night, after a year of being natural, I love it! It gives me so much more definition than my two strand twist out. Thanks for the tips Drea! ������
ReplyDeleteThat's so good to hear because the first time I did a braid out, I hated it.
