Foreword: I’m copycatting Fleurtzy over at Texture Playground, she just did a beautiful braidout.
I got done swimming and didn’t feel like putting in twists. So, after a DC, I spritzed my hair with a homemade spritz, applied Afroveda Totally Twisted, and detangled each section with my Denman. I then braided largish sections, just fingerparting and grabbing. I sealed the braids with coconut oil. I let it air dry and then took it apart separating gently. I’m so happy that my hair is long enough that this looks ok now. When it was shorter, if I tried to do braids this large for a braid out, it wouldn’t have enough definition.

Ooo-Lordy… that is beautiful, I’ll have to try some big-ol’ chunky braids soon. Maybe after I take these microtwists down.
Beautiful. Braid outs are my go to style nowadays. I honestly don’t remember the last time I did another style.
I love this!
it looks really great! Me gusto mucho
It looks lovely! My hair is still shorter so I don’t mess w/braids. I’m a twist out girl.. But hopefully in time I can do this.
Oh my goodness I am so inspired! Your hair looks Beautiful!
That is so pretty. Your hair is soooo thick and healthy looking! WOWZA.
This is soooooo pretty!!!! I plan to do braidouts like these when I’m all natural especially after I saw this result on my hair – http://hotimg25.fotki.com/a/195_99/221_5/IMG0030620100122104823.jpg – but seeing this on your hair is making me even more excited to be all natural.
I love your hair
Lookin’ good.
So pretty!!
Do you braid all the way down to the ends or do you twist the ends?
Thanks ladies. Anon, I braid all the way.
I love it! You have so much hair!!! I say this every time I visit lol, but it is all in good spirit and a tiny portion of envy
i love it! so pretty! if only my hair would stay like that. it turns into a frizz ball after a couple of hours. *sigh*
