The Infamous Braidout!

This braidout was done after a co-wash. I applied Cantu Shea Butter Leave-In Conditioner and Herbal Essenses Long Term Relationship. After applying the products I only put two braids in my hair to get this curl pattern. The more braids you put the smaller the pattern will be. To make a braidout last, you can re-braid at night or you can do the Pineapple Method. If you try this style let me know, I would love to see the results! :))
