All
year, I’ve been challenging myself to wear more out styles- namely, braidouts. They have quickly morphed into my
quick go-tos when it comes to styling my hair.
As I do them more often, the unexpected surprises- i.e. bad hair days, seem
to have lessened, and I now know what to expect, depending on which products and techniques I
utilize.

The Technique
In
order for me to get optimal braid out results, I usually have to braid
8-12 sections of hair; lately, I've been able to get away with the
former. I do not comb or brush through my hair on non wash days, so in
the meantime, I simply use my hands to smooth down each section of hair.
A
fine mist of water is applied to each section, and is quickly followed
by a small amount of the Lustrasilk Cholesterol and almond oil.
Afterwards, each section is snugly braided, and the ends are slathered
with more cholesterol and oil, as well as, sealed with 360 Wave pomade wax.
This
wax smooths out my hair strands, minimizing SSK (single strand knot)
occurrences. Finally, the first two inches of my ends are curled
around a cold rod, and the hair is allowed to set for the next day.

I routinely rotate the types of oils and leave ins I use, but this general technique, gives me lightly defined, fluffy, and soft hair.
Braidouts and I get along beautifully.
Micro braids or million braids are tiny braids so small they often resemble thin strands of hair or rope. In this section, you will find HD full lace, full lace, lace frontal, and closure micro braid wigs according to your preferred color, lace material, length, and density
