I saw this style on a fellow Hairlista and I instantly fell in l♥ve. I like this style because:

• It's easy to do
• Low manipulation
• Cheap
• Classy
• Great for those stretching relaxers.

I did this style on air dried hair. I moisturized with S-Curl No Drip Activator and sealed with Hot Six Oil. I used 2 bobby pins per curl (6 in total) after securing the banana clip. I added a little muff in the front for style :)

I am 10 weeks post relaxer in these photos so don't mind the kinky coils! LOL

This past weekend I rocked my 2nd braid-out!!

Hairlista Diva, Bronzeg, has the best fierce looking braid-outs I know. So, I decided to try her methods & it turned out better than I expected and my hair stayed moist ALL DAY LONG. That made me super happy :-)

I used the exact same products she used in her video (HE LTR leave-in, EVOO), except I used Herbal Essences Long Term Relationship conditioner as a co-wash, and I used perm rods on my ends instead of satin rollers (haven't seen these in Toronto yet).

If you haven't seen her tutorials, check them out...

ETA (June 14th 2009): I was in a huge rush prior to taking these photos so I wasn't able to add the steps I took to achieve this look. It's very simple. Here's what I did:

Shampoo'd with Creme of Nature (red label)
Lightly Conditioned in the shower with Silk Elements Cholesterol (3mins with plastic cap)
Rinsed
T-shirt dried (5mins)
Sectioned off my hair in 6 parts
Moisturized with Wave Nouveau Moisturizing Lotion (small dime size amount)
Detangled with a wide tooth comb from the ends up
Sealed with Curls Whipped Creme (just a dab)
Applied a little amount of Hollywood Beauty Castor Oil to my ends

After braiding each braid, I rolled up the ends as if I were to pin curl my hair, I stopped rolling the ends after 2 rolls then I clipped the ends with small barrettes (didn't feel like using rollers..lol)

I tied my hair with a satin scarf, then went to bed. All I did was unravel the braids in the AM and added my accessories (silver flower clips)

That's It~

I tried the Twisted Bun from Casia1 on Youtube and it turned out pretty good since this was my first time trying it. Check out the photos below.

Quick snap shot of my hair after air drying (almost 2 weeks post relaxer). I'm amazed at how thick my hair has become. After I relaxed I did not see a difference in the thickness of my hair (since my stylist ran the flat iron on my strands over & over & over again...ugh!), but now I see it more than EVER! Big ups to my Jamaican Black Castor Oil =]

I love this protective style. I wear it almost 80% of the time. It's easy to do and it helps me retain length.
