1BlessedNatural: Braids and Braid-Out Happy Monday, my blessed naturals! I hope you all are having a great evening. My hair has been really dry due to the cold temperatures. My plan was to keep my hair in braids as my protective style, but I forgot how braids can make my hair look sparse. So, I ended up removing them this morning for a defined braid-out. The products I used were the Curls Creme Brule Whipped Curl Cream and 100% Coconut Oil on wet hair. I put my hair in medium size braids and twisted the ends. Afterwards, I created two french braids, rolled the ends, and pinned them in the back. My hair was allowed to dry overnight. In the morning, I unraveled the braids and put on a headband. I plan to mini twist my hair this week to give it rest.  1BlessedNatural: after washing my hair...  1BlessedNatural: Braids or plaits  french braided in preparation for a braid-out What is your fall protective styling choice? ...

I don't know what happened to my flat twists with puff style. It's almost like my hair said, "The heck with this." LOL. It just started to not look right despite me trying to fix it. I rocked the style for about a week and a half. I redid the twist every two days. The puff was redone every day. Hmmm. Moving on!  Last night, I moisturized and sealed my hair. Afterwards, I flat twisted my bang area. Then, I two-strand  twisted the back section. I pinned the bang to the side using bobby pins. This morning, I did a puff and then added a hot pink comb for decoration. I replaced the bobby pins with the less noticeable hair pins. Have you ever had a style that just wouldn't look right regardless of what you did to it?

Happy Sunday! The night before last, I did another updo. I grabbed sections of my hair and twisted them upward. Then I pin curled the sections and used hair pins to secure them. The few twists in the bang area were pinned to the side. I am already plotting on taking the braids out, and it's only been a week. I might do more mini twists . I like them better than mini braids.  I will keep you all updated!
