Braid OUt!!!!!

Hey Everyone, can i first congratulate all those who have just loc'd up. Shout outs to N1 and Angel Locs... you have come along way ladies and the journey is just beginning....... Lovin your locs!!!



Back to the matter at hand. I've had a few requests to start styling espeacially from friends who know me and know i can almost turn my hand to anything creative but i have become stuck. The last time i went for retightening the majority had slipped right out except for the little balls at the end of each loc holding them together. (see one of the many balls below)
I'm not scared more like petrified. Like i said i can't really afford to keep on retightening and repairing a whole head. Anyho i did the braid out just to see what it would look like but Ladies and gents i didn't do anything more than that (trying to keep the hands outta the head!!!)


I plaited around 25 plaits to try and get a really kinky curl after i had washed and seperated, ensuring that the hair was damp.
Here are the results:

First let me thank you for the Shout Out!!!
Second you hair is beautiful still loving that color.
Thirdly, I keep hearing about this braid out thing what is that?

Finally again your hair looks good, like I said I don't know what or how a braid out is done but it looks like you did a good job. But of course hear again I am not familiar with the braidout technique from what I can see looks good.

I was thinking about the cost of retightening myself but I am in it for the long haul now.

Braid-out is that you basically dampen your hair, plait it up until it dries and then you take out the plait and there you have it ...The Braid Out/ Plait Out
